Ricochet on getting talked to by McMahon for being “too spectacular”

Sep 27, 2024 - by Steve Gerweck

Ricochet was on “Talk is Jericho” recently. He discussed getting talked to by Mr. McMahon for being “too spectacular.”

He stated:

“One time I was wrestling Retribution. It was [Mustafa] Ali, Dijak [T-Bar], Mason Madden, one of the big models. So they were a big group, they used to just beat my ass every week. I went from Hurt Business beating my ass to Retribution beating my ass for like weeks. I did one spot in the match where you know, one guy got a drop kick, ducked one, then one guy got something and do a thing with something — anyways, I still lost the match, but it was like my one spot in the match. I just remember coming to the back and everyone’s like, ‘Oh, it’s great.’ I remember Vince being like, ‘Yo, that was too spectacular. John Cena couldn’t even do that.’ In my head I’m thinking, no, he literally can’t do that, I understand. I agree with you. I’m just so confused and I want to — but I’m the type of person, if I start to say something, Imma say too much. Ask anybody who knows me, I get it from my mom. So I just say okay, what am I gonna do? I’m gonna start an argument with Vince? No.”

    Saying something is too spectacular isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s like saying something is too cool. From what I read; it looked like Vince was paying him a compliment. I could understand the problem if Vince said that was too spectacular, try to bring it down next time. But he didn’t. He said that was too spectacular, John Cena couldn’t even do that. That to me says he might have been impressed. So I fail to see what the problem would be or why Ricochet would talk about having an argument with Vince.

    @Joseph–My guess is Ricochet is thinking he was gonna launch into a conversation starting with ‘If that was too spectacular, why am I jobbing every week?’

    Imagine your boss telling you how you’re the hardest worker in the company with the best ideas, but won’t give you a promotion and keeps you at the bottom and taking orders from everyone else. The compliment doesn’t mean much.

    That makes sense. I was thinking that maybe he thought being, told that’s too spectacular, was a bad thing.

    Really? If his promos are anything to go by, he just says the same thing 5 times in a span of 30 seconds.
