Ricochet recently revealed on the Talk Is Jericho podcast that Vince McMahon once criticized him for being “too spectacular” during a match.
While reflecting on his WWE career, Ricochet shared an incident where, after a match against RETRIBUTION, despite the crowd’s positive response, Vince was not pleased with his performance.
Ricochet explained:
“One time, I was wrestling RETRIBUTION. It was (Mustafa) Ali, (Donovan) Dijak, who was T-BAR. Mason Madden, one of the big models. So they were a big group.
They used to just beat my ass every week. It went from Hurt Business beating my ass to RETRIBUTION beating my ass, for like weeks.
But I did one spot in the match where one guy would get a dropkick and duck one. Then one guy gets something and then do a thing on the something. Anyways, I still lost the match but it’s like my one spot in the match, and then it ends with a dive and then it ends with something, and then I just remember coming to the back, everyone’s like, ‘Oh, it’s great’ and then, I remember Vince (McMahon) being like, ‘Yeah, that was too spectacular.’
He goes, ‘John Cena couldn’t even do that.’ In my head I’m thinking, well no. No, he can’t do that. He literally can’t do that. I understand. I agree with you.
But, I’m just so confused and.. but I’m the type of person, if I start to say something, I’ma say too much (he laughed). I’ma say too much. Ask anybody who knows me.
I get it from my mom. So I just say, ‘Okay…’ What am I gonna start an argument with Vince? No.”
