10 Wrestlers That WWE Are Failing Right Now

5. Ricochet

Just how good was that match between Ricochet and Humberto Carrillo on the 28 August edition of Main Event? If you have no idea what happened there, don't worry. You are far from alone, and haunting 'C' level programming has become an alarming trend for one of wrestling's most exciting flyers.

Ricochet, not Humberto.

Palling around with Cedric Alexander is not a good place to be for Ricochet either. Their tag isn't one WWE take seriously, and they're about as likely to challenge for the Tag-Team Titles as this writer is. OK, maybe not, but you get the point; Ricochet and Alexander are more New Rockers than they are Marty and Shawn.

Ricochet's talent didn't evaporate overnight, and he only seems to be getting punished because he wasn't The Rock on the mic earlier this year during a brief flirtation with the headline pack against Brock Lesnar. How very dare he, eh?
