You might expect a wrestling hipster like Ricochet to cite three people you've never heard of as his inspiration when he steps into the squared circle - but no: it turns out his favourites are Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, and The Rock.

His taste may not be original but it is most assuredly impeccable. The trio of Latino Heat, The Ultimate Underdog and The Great One have been responsible for some of wrestling's greatest moments over the last 20 years.

Body-art aside, it's also pretty easy to see how each of them have influenced Ricochet's style in the ring. Like the two cruiserweights, he employs an innovative, high-flying offence in the ring, and like The Rock he oozes charisma - even if he perhaps doesn't yet possess the same mic skills (but then who does?).

Whether the 29-year-old goes on to achieve the same success as any of the above names is a question that is currently impossible to answer. He certainly has all the raw tools, though.
