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. He€™s 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 AAA€™s Lucha Underground television programme as the masked €˜luchador€™ Prince Puma (he€™s not a real luchador. He just plays one on TV). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO_W0Eyyv3E Mann€™s 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 wouldn€™t 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 didn€™t know the business, and elected not to take him on board. No, we don€™t understand that either€ but if you€™re looking for someone to take over where Rey Mysterio left off, you don€™t 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.
