10 Wrestlers Who Got PISSED When Their Moves Were Stolen
2. TJP's...Everything
Right.
Not to go all J*m Cornette here, but Jesus wept there is something of an homogenised flavour to the modern hybrid style that makes various accusations of theft petty, if not outright funny. So many of them do a superkick and a poison 'rana that they should all have shrines dedicated to Chris Adams and Scott Steiner.
In a desperate ratings grab, on February 18 2019, Ricochet debuted on the main roster alongside three of his fellow beleaguered NXT pals, who were flown to Lafayette, Louisiana after a swift USA network b*llocking. The Lafayette crowd were subsequently b*llocked for not reacting to this total lack of promotion. WWE kicked the cat and killed the town, but Ricochet did fire them up with an exhibition of his next-level talent. TJP reckons he provided the lighter.
"Oh cool I think I wrote this," he quote-tweeted, captioning Ricochet performing a springboard missile dropkick on WWE's official Twitter. He was asked to elaborate, and said that he "literally" meant "exactly" that. How does one...write a dropkick?
I used to love it when Steve Austin wrote Stunners. What?
Had TJP joined the creative team as an unpaid intern? Did he pitch this exact sequence, and see Ricochet do it to his dismay? What the f*ck was he talking about?
He then tweeted "I thought someone else turning my homework in with their name on it ended after high school..." before absolving Ricochet, the man he blamed, of the blame.
Curiously, TJP was released not three days later.
Sympathy factor: It's just hard to think any of this happened, you know? Maybe this mind isn't free enough.
