If you fancy a fun interview with somebody passionate who doesn't take themselves too seriously, then check out Ricochet's appearance on Edge and Christian's Pod Of Awesomeness. The NXT star is clearly well-studied, respectful and eager to make his mark. That respect almost led to one of his most embarrassing moments to date.

Blame Konnan.

When Ricochet knocked on the door and went to introduce himself to Rey Mysterio (a childhood idol of his), K-Dogg decided to have a little fun and tell Rey, "Here's the guy saying he was so much better than you". Ricochet was speechless, he couldn't believe what Konnan was doing, and he instantly leapt to his own defence.

Luckily, Mysterio knew Konnan's old tricks and could tell Ricochet didn't think he was the best high-flyer to ever grace the industry. Ricochet told the podcast he was happy Rey didn't go along with Konnan's joke, because he was already mortified by the rib.
