Ricochet Channels Jackie Chan in AEW Matches

AEW star Ricochet recently sat down with Chicago’s Q101 to discuss his transition to All Elite Wrestling and his unique in-ring approach.

While acknowledging the distinct style and intensity of AEW matches, Ricochet emphasized his commitment to his own established wrestling identity. “I don’t try to think about my style changing things,” he explained. “I’ve always just wrestled the same, really, everywhere.”

Ricochet highlighted his adaptability, noting that his matches vary depending on his opponent. “If I’m wrestling Will Ospreay, it’s obviously gonna be different than if I’m wrestling Powerhouse Hobbs,” he illustrated.

However, he stressed that his core moveset remains consistent. “Me specifically, Ricochet, I’m going to do the same moves, the same stuff that I’ve always done,” he stated. “It’s just going to be where, what, where, how, why, and when I do it.”

Interestingly, Ricochet revealed an unexpected source of inspiration for his in-ring strategy: action movie legend Jackie Chan. “I say, what would Jackie Chan do in this moment?” he shared. “Jackie Chan might do something big, but he might do something small here, so I really kind of plan all my matches after Jackie Chan and what he would do in that specific moment of the match.”
