10 Wrestlers Who Could Be The Next Big Thing In WWE
7. Ricochet
Trevor Mann is widely considered to be the finest high-flyer working in the business today. Hes been wrestling for eleven of his twenty-six years on this planet and under various different names: right now, he works for both the US and Japanese variants of Dragon Gate and Pro Wrestling Guerilla under his most famous sobriquet, Ricochet, and on AAAs Lucha Underground television programme as the masked luchador Prince Puma (hes not a real luchador. He just plays one on TV). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO_W0Eyyv3E Manns show stopping athleticism belies the fact that his in-ring storytelling ability is first rate: his grasp of psychology and selling is just as good as any of his peers, even if his promos leave something to be desired. Astonishingly, he wouldnt get the chance to gravitate towards the WWE when he tried out for them in 2014. Representatives from the company had never heard of him, despite his decade-long standout independent career: when the developmental talent (who had heard of him) began to mark out slightly that he was there, the company took umbrage at the implication that they didnt know the business, and elected not to take him on board. No, we dont understand that either but if youre looking for someone to take over where Rey Mysterio left off, you dont necessarily need just another little flippy guy in a colourful mask. You need someone who innovates and excels at every opportunity, someone who can work with anyone, big or small, a brawler or a technical marvel. You need Ricochet.
