7. Ricochet

Ricochet’s name is always brought-up when potential WWE signings are discussed. It seems inevitable that The Future Of Flight will end-up with the company sooner or later, but it seems like he’s pretty content at the moment. Barely a week passes without Ricochet putting-on a dazzling high-flying match somewhere, and his work for companies like NJPW and PWG has made him a global wrestling phenom.

It seems like Ricochet has been on the independents forever, but he’s still only 28 years old. Time will eventually force him to slow down, but for now, he’s one of the most acrobatic wrestlers on the planet. Guys like Ricochet pull-off the kind of moves that should only be possible in the movies, and his matches with Will Ospreay have to be seen to be believed.

Ricochet has flirted with WWE in the past, but the company would need to wait for his remaining Lucha Underground contributions to air before making a move. When that happens, however, WWE should throw all the money they can at him. Widely regarded as the smoothest high-flyer on the planet, Ricochet’s talents deserve the biggest audience possible, and he’d be an immediate major player in NXT or on 205 Live. The only thing going against him is his lack of microphone skills, but his incredible strengths more than make up for this one weakness.
