Who else? Whilst he may have flat-out denied any involvement in the series on his twitter, Ricochet (or Prince Puma to Lucha Underground viewers) is arguably the most sought-after cruiserweight in professional wrestling today. Even New Japan Pro Wrestling, a notoriously fickle promotion when it comes to wrestler loyalty, fawns over him, constantly inviting him back to win all manner of championships without him ever committing to their cause. As of right now he is one half of the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Champions (along with Matt Sydal), and also a major player at the top of the Lucha Underground card. Ricochet commands attention wherever he performs, and his role as true freelancer seems to suit him down to the ground. It is this freedom and the non-committal nature of the series that leads to hope of him making an appearance, although it may just be that - hope. Currently at the very top of his game, Ricochet is a performer blessed with both natural talent and a strikingly impressive work ethic. If he was involved, it would be impossible to avoid talking about him as a potential winner of the whole thing, and the mass of dream matches it would throw forward leads to all manner of frothing at the mouth on my part. Triple H, make it happen.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
