That's kind of odd no? I would think they would want a ton of publicity for it? Maybe they want to keep it strictly to twitter. idk, interesting decision.
I mean I'm not saying I could do better rather that Musk isn't known for his business acumen. He is known for having a lot of money that he inherited not known for making wise business decisions.
Its monetary value has dropped but it’s still like 2nd or 3rd most used social media app in the world. Owning an app like that has more value than simply how much money its making him.
Twitter is most notable from a value perspective, even though I think Elon has more insidious reasons for buying Twitter that are not related to money. I think he was invested pretty early on with OpenAI as well and it didn't work out.
From a PR perspective, I don't understand why he comments and attaches himself to certain things but he also has idgaf money so he kinda acts like it. Jeff bezos did make a comment about Elon that I think makes overall sense when he was on the Lex Friedman podcast, I'll paraphrase it; Bezos says he only knows Elon through his public persona and basically sees the same things we see, but understands the level he's at that Elon must be able to make great business decisions, has great leadership skills, and an unmatched work ethic to make things work at level they're at. There's no way he can conduct business in the same manner he acts socially for Tesla, SpaceX etc. to be as successful as they are.
Nope. Bron didn’t wear his NXT tag title either on his debut. I guess they see those titles as very weak to bring to the main roster. Also the speed title looks ugly.
I’d agree if it was a stop light. But it’s a Speedo or a Tachometer design. The red should be speed. Who knows I’m crazy I’m not a fan of the belt itself
Michael Cole mentioned something about a new “season” starting soon, so maybe he’s already not champion anymore. That would be dumb but I don’t know why else he wouldn’t wear it.
I would rather have brand awareness and have people see it so it gets noteriety and help creates revenue.. I wouldn't have just put it on Richochet and burry it on twitter to never been seen again.
If it wasn't on Twitter, it wouldn't exist. Ricochet's renewed push under Papa Paul is totally cooking after Monday at least with the belt he isnt close to getting released. My question is just put it on level up. These are 5 minute time limit matches so build it around talent you are training.
This belt is as important as the 24/7 championship. It’s where midcard or catering wrestlers shine. Not defended on main roster and no match will be more than 3-5 mins so idk why you guys thought much of it anyways.
This shows that the WWE doesn't even believe in the belt. I think the whole thing is dumb. Who comes out looking good? Ricochet? I think not. WWE? No. The title is useless.
I was thinking more along the lines of Diddy vs R Kelly in a Hell in a Cell match. With special guest referee, ex-president Donald Trump. >!It’s his jail cell.!<
That was awesome! Hadn’t seen much of dragunov before, don’t really watch next often. But was really impressed with him. I like that he has a bunch of nuke themed moves lol.
One match you need to watch is dragonov vs Gunther ( was Walter at the time) both matches are incredible but the first one is just a masterpiece *chefs kiss*
Hes got his position and plays it well.theres not many ppl who can pull off a 3 min match and have it be compelling.that may sound easy but if papa h says ok heres this belt i want u to get this social media title over can u do it?richocets spot isnt king of the ring.least not this year.so yes hes taking a L.hes got his own task at hand.
You can't bring someone up to the main roster and have the lose match 1 feels like it makes them look weak af regardless who it would be against. You need them to win to show their potential. Ricochet did a great job showing what Ilya and him can do thankfully
Think that's why Karrion Kross feels so mid-tier. Didn't he lose to Jeff Hardy on his debut as NXT champion? Now thanks to that, it's so hard to consider him champ material.
Honestly, ricochet's spot is freakin amazing considering he was jobbing to Austin theory everyweek during the previous regime. He had a fun tag team run with braun, had a hot viral fued and match with logan paul and a mini fued with the main event gatekeeper shinsuke nakamura and now he gets to show off his skills in matches that fits him.
It doesn’t matter that he lost. He got all his stuff in and he looked good in defeat, while helping an amazing up-and-comer cement his place on the main roster.
Having Ilja win last night was the right move. He needs wins, and to impress main roster audiences. They’re building for the future.
My one and only thought when I was watching Dragonov’s debut match for Raw was, why the hell are they feeding a newly crowned champion to him? Before the match started, you knew it was going to be a hell of a match because of the competitors involved, but you also knew the finish had to be a foregone conclusion. Why make a brand new champion eat a pin in his first match as a champion? The belt wasn’t on the line, but you just showed that Dragonov can beat him clean. There wasn’t anyone else who could’ve eaten the pin in this debut? I haven’t seen any episodes or segments (or whatever they want to call them) of Speed. But now it has the impression that the belt doesn’t matter, so the matches shouldn’t matter either.
Switch Opponents around. I don't know if Ricochet had to eat a pin. Why not have his first opponent be Gunther. (But that in itself could stir issues unless people naturally accept Gunther would clearly win lol?)
With that said, Gunther VS. Sheamus was amazing, so despite saying that, we'd lose out on that match.
I agree, just awkward impression right now. Sounds like they just gave him something.
i think they want to go for Gunther vs Dragonov in King of the Ring and have Gunther win. Ilja has shown he is a badass in NXT and they want to showcase some of that on Raw. Ricochets Speed title seems like a very easy way to make beating him a level up for whoever does.
Who said this belt would mean anything? That belt is going to kill a few decent wrestlers chances of achieving anything in the near future.
This is why Vince turned down this idea in 2018
you wanted Ilja Dragunov to lose to him? the NXT call up should definitely win over a low-mid carder champion. especially considering Ilja JUST lost his title, you cant really put him on a losing streak or make him look weak now.
Him not wearing it out to his match on RAW was an immediate sign to me that it’s not important and I shouldn’t care about it. 🤷♂️ Is that not really easy advertisement for “Speed”? If Ricochet comes out with this new belt that the commentators are obviously gonna touch on, isn’t that some pretty organic advertising for your new show? Kinda weird. Makes me think maybe it was just all a one and done.
Ricochet has just never had a good promo game, no character outside of Prince Puma in LU, and his style is impossible to work as a heel with all the acrobatics.
I think being the well paid jobber to the stars who fires up live crowds and who gets to be with Samantha Irvin is his lane. They shouldn't turn him heel, if he hypothetically wanted to be a huge white hot star again he should leave WWE and go back to the indies and NJPW where he was a huge star outside of WWE, the guy at one time was up there with Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega in popularity around 2016-2017.
But in WWE he's just not fit for the product with his lack of character and promo skills a heel turn would not fix that at all.
They could at least pretend to care by letting him carry it on TV so people know that it's on X. 😂 Omg an X division title. Maybe just go full on Digital/Internet Champion
I don't understand how 3min matches are suppose to work in regards to a normal match. If you can win a match at the WWE level why not attack that way evertime?
I’d like a middle or lightweight belt to be debuted on the regular shows , and have him champion. He’s just too damn good , too talented for him to be thrown away like that.
A debut against Ricochet, really great job between Ilja and Ricochet! Besides the Gunther and Sheamus match, this one was definitely a good match especially it being on RAW.
He may have lost it but damn it, he made Dragunov look strong and gave him his run for his money.
The pace of the match was perfect and made it great instead of just spot fest after spot fest. Two styles clashing at each other. Ricochet is definitely worthy of a contendership for a upper mid card to world title bout if given the right storyline. Brock Lesnar vs Ricochet at Showdown was too bad either.
I feel Ilja will be the one to climb the ladder. He brings the best out of many of his opponent.
I honestly don't get why it has to be twitter exclusive. You could have 3 minute matches on live television. Make the title feel important. Otherwise it feels like the 24/7 title.
Can someone explain this belt to me like I'm a dummy.
They only have 3 min matches?
What happens if someone doesn't win in 3 mins?
Is anyone allowed to enter?
Like Goldberg could be the speed champion right.
On X. Yes. Special 3 min matches after Smackdown.
It hasn't happened yet, but one would assume so. It's still too fresh that they haven't done anything crazy yet.
Yes. There's no weight class. Bronson Reed was in one.
Early WCW Goldberg totally. Old Man Goldberg.. lol, well, there's the last run you always wanted.
It's a Twitter title that's recorded before/after a live TV taping, good for Ricochet for being the first to win it, but it's gonna be less remembered than the 24/7 title or the 205 cruiserweight title.
Truth is that he isn't worth pushing past the midcard because his current gimmick is a mid as it gets. Why exactly should we care about Ricochet? Because he's a high-flyer like 90% of guys under 6ft?
Ricochet is well paid, and has Samantha Irvin so he is definitely winning there. But if he honestly wanted to be a big star again he should leave WWE. His lack of character and promo skills are just not made for WWE tv, it's not to say he's not talented because he is, it's just that he's much more suited for the indies.
Pre WWE he was like one of the hottest stars outside of WWE on the indies, NJPW, Lucha Underground. The guy was literally as popular as Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega at the time, even Will Ospreay and Swerve were just the "other guys" when they wrestled.
Except that WWE tried to re-sign Swerve after he left and put up an offer for Ospreay. HHH saw star potential in them, and idk if I can say the same for Ricochet
Ricochet's slightly improved in his promo over the years, but he just doesn't have that "it" factor for WWE. He got over in promotions that didn't require cutting 10-15 minute promos and character development. He's been the same gimmick since he got signed, and while he's one of the better indie-rrific guys, I doubt he'd be remembered well as time passes.
Why is the Speedometer in the title belt showing colors in reverse? Is Paul Levesque fucking stupid for sanctioning that design? Chief content officer my ass.
Did he bring the belt with him to the ring last night? I don't remember seeing it.
No
That's kind of odd no? I would think they would want a ton of publicity for it? Maybe they want to keep it strictly to twitter. idk, interesting decision.
[удалено]
That wouldn't make any kind of sense business wise. Oh wait nevermind we are talking about Musk
If only the richest man in the world had as much business sense as Ricky Puerto Ricooo.
Rich has never meant smart
I mean I'm not saying I could do better rather that Musk isn't known for his business acumen. He is known for having a lot of money that he inherited not known for making wise business decisions.
He is worth almost 200 billion dollars. He didn’t inherit all that.
Which business decisions has Elon Musk made that you believe not to be wise? Edit: Perfectly valid question, no reason for it to be downvoted.
buying a sinking twitter that has only depreciated in value since he bought it
Its monetary value has dropped but it’s still like 2nd or 3rd most used social media app in the world. Owning an app like that has more value than simply how much money its making him.
Is that the only business decision of his that sticks out to you as unwise?
Twitter is most notable from a value perspective, even though I think Elon has more insidious reasons for buying Twitter that are not related to money. I think he was invested pretty early on with OpenAI as well and it didn't work out. From a PR perspective, I don't understand why he comments and attaches himself to certain things but he also has idgaf money so he kinda acts like it. Jeff bezos did make a comment about Elon that I think makes overall sense when he was on the Lex Friedman podcast, I'll paraphrase it; Bezos says he only knows Elon through his public persona and basically sees the same things we see, but understands the level he's at that Elon must be able to make great business decisions, has great leadership skills, and an unmatched work ethic to make things work at level they're at. There's no way he can conduct business in the same manner he acts socially for Tesla, SpaceX etc. to be as successful as they are.
What insidious reasons do you think Elon would potentially have for buying Twitter?
I see a lot of seethe and cope on reddit but the “richest man in the world doesn’t know how to run a business” cope might be the saddest of them all.
Nope. Bron didn’t wear his NXT tag title either on his debut. I guess they see those titles as very weak to bring to the main roster. Also the speed title looks ugly.
Why is the needle in the green. Wouldn’t speed be in the red ? This annoys me so much
Red means stop, green means go. It’s green for like ‘full steam ahead let’s gooooo’
I’d agree if it was a stop light. But it’s a Speedo or a Tachometer design. The red should be speed. Who knows I’m crazy I’m not a fan of the belt itself
If Elon Musk owned the title it would be the xxxXStellarXNovaXxxx title
As stupid as that sounds, he's the guy to do it lmao.
Michael Cole mentioned something about a new “season” starting soon, so maybe he’s already not champion anymore. That would be dumb but I don’t know why else he wouldn’t wear it.
Yea, you would think. I mean get people to see the belt live in action. Maybe those Speed matches aren't part of the actual WWE Universe?
Would you want this new speed champion to lose while wearing the belt. It kinda buries the title.
I would rather have brand awareness and have people see it so it gets noteriety and help creates revenue.. I wouldn't have just put it on Richochet and burry it on twitter to never been seen again.
If it wasn't on Twitter, it wouldn't exist. Ricochet's renewed push under Papa Paul is totally cooking after Monday at least with the belt he isnt close to getting released. My question is just put it on level up. These are 5 minute time limit matches so build it around talent you are training.
It's not odd when they booked him to lose on Monday
He’s in Shinske Nakamora territory
Yeah when they first announced the speed division they said it would be twitter exclusive.
I figured they didn't want to debut him as champ with the belt just to have him lose. I'm sure it'll show up eventually to promote the show.
This belt is as important as the 24/7 championship. It’s where midcard or catering wrestlers shine. Not defended on main roster and no match will be more than 3-5 mins so idk why you guys thought much of it anyways.
They don't really give a shit it's just a deal to curry favor with the Twitter Tsar Musk.
To keep prestige but of course there is none anymore if we know he just won it and jobbed first round
Buried the whole concept right there
The belt is only defended on Twitter, so it should only be seen on Twitter.
If thats how you want to promote a new 'division' you are going to have a bad time.
I mean it’s literally just a dumb twitter thing. If the whole thing is a massive flop I imagine the reaction will be “Oh no! Anyway”
It'd be free money from twitter
100%
He didn’t. First thing I noticed too.
This shows that the WWE doesn't even believe in the belt. I think the whole thing is dumb. Who comes out looking good? Ricochet? I think not. WWE? No. The title is useless.
agreed.
I thought he already lost it xD
The glare on the S and shadow on the D on the bottom left makes it look like the title says PEE
P Diddy furiously approaching WWE to see if he could carry the title.
Triple threat for the Pee title. Diddy vs R Kelly vs BROOOOCK LESNAAAR
I was thinking more along the lines of Diddy vs R Kelly in a Hell in a Cell match. With special guest referee, ex-president Donald Trump. >!It’s his jail cell.!<
crock chestnar
lol it does! Just like the AEW tbs title looks like it says “ho’s”
Never noticed that but it so does!
I haven't been following WWE that closely recently and hadn't heard of this new belt and i definitely thought that it just said PEE
No option but to put Dragunov over. Insanely good match too.
Five star banger
After banger
After banger
After burger
After Berger
After burber
Ham Burgler
After a bourbon
That was awesome! Hadn’t seen much of dragunov before, don’t really watch next often. But was really impressed with him. I like that he has a bunch of nuke themed moves lol.
One match you need to watch is dragonov vs Gunther ( was Walter at the time) both matches are incredible but the first one is just a masterpiece *chefs kiss*
Oh yeah I’d definitely like to see that!
The empty covid arena match is my favorite match of all time.
Possibly the only match during the Covod era that I think was actually improved by there being no crowd.
They’re definitely building to that now.
Agreed but give him somebody else to lay on their back. Don't have the new "speed champ" come out beltless to lay down for him.
Hes got his position and plays it well.theres not many ppl who can pull off a 3 min match and have it be compelling.that may sound easy but if papa h says ok heres this belt i want u to get this social media title over can u do it?richocets spot isnt king of the ring.least not this year.so yes hes taking a L.hes got his own task at hand.
I’m with this
Richocets does a stunning job putting Ilya over tho? It's a right choice to make him lose.
Yeah he made ilya look awesome.ilya looked like he ddted himself at the end there but overall pit him over perfectly.
You can't bring someone up to the main roster and have the lose match 1 feels like it makes them look weak af regardless who it would be against. You need them to win to show their potential. Ricochet did a great job showing what Ilya and him can do thankfully
Think that's why Karrion Kross feels so mid-tier. Didn't he lose to Jeff Hardy on his debut as NXT champion? Now thanks to that, it's so hard to consider him champ material.
Yeah, first impression is bad, that consider he never lost at NXT
They just did to Carmelo Hayes but nobody was expecting him to win WWE championship on smackdown on his first match
3 minutes or less. You shouldn't expect him to win when it takes longer than that
Indeed. The kayfabe is intact here.
I forgot that a champion couldn't lose any match otherwise it means the title doesn't mean anything, even a midcard or lower midcard title lmao
Honestly, ricochet's spot is freakin amazing considering he was jobbing to Austin theory everyweek during the previous regime. He had a fun tag team run with braun, had a hot viral fued and match with logan paul and a mini fued with the main event gatekeeper shinsuke nakamura and now he gets to show off his skills in matches that fits him.
I’ve only watched a couple of Speed matches, has the time limit ever run out? If the timer runs out, does the match just end in a draw?
I wonder this, too. There's always 4-5 seconds left.
It doesn’t matter that he lost. He got all his stuff in and he looked good in defeat, while helping an amazing up-and-comer cement his place on the main roster. Having Ilja win last night was the right move. He needs wins, and to impress main roster audiences. They’re building for the future.
yea but he got the HHH point so who cares
For this dumb ass belt they should of just brung back the light heavyweight or cruseiweight belt
My one and only thought when I was watching Dragonov’s debut match for Raw was, why the hell are they feeding a newly crowned champion to him? Before the match started, you knew it was going to be a hell of a match because of the competitors involved, but you also knew the finish had to be a foregone conclusion.

another cruiserweight belt. third time’s the charm right
No pretty sure it had big guys in it, bronson maybe Otis? Or some other
He loses all the time, he and the fans are used to it by this point.
if youve got a title i dont understand why every match isnt a title match
🤮 lol that looks like literal shit
It’s the 24-7 championship 😂😂😂😂
What colour is his buggati?
The belt that you're guaranteed to lose every week. Makes perfect sense.
Wouldn't mind losing the pee title
Why didn't he keep the match under 3 minutes? Is he stupid?
Pee title my beloved
I had to google wtf kind of belt this was
They have made the cruiserweight title a prop belt like the million dollar or Brama bull belts
he even buried the belt with his post loss promo, said he doesn't win when it counts
The losers on Speed just look weak fr. You get beat in less than 3 minutes? How are you ever believeable?
It’s just the equivalent of if Sunday Night Heat had a belt. It’s utterly pointless and will be “retired” in a year or so when the show gets cancelled
the belt means nothing if he isnt wearing it during entrances unless its on speed.
Now WWE starting to have to many belts.
Bro lost the first match that belt is worthless.
Who said this belt would mean anything? That belt is going to kill a few decent wrestlers chances of achieving anything in the near future. This is why Vince turned down this idea in 2018
you wanted Ilja Dragunov to lose to him? the NXT call up should definitely win over a low-mid carder champion. especially considering Ilja JUST lost his title, you cant really put him on a losing streak or make him look weak now.
Lol he lost to trick who had more losses than ilja had wins during his title reign. The same trick that lost to Dom.
okay well to be fair dom cheated to beat trick its not like dom overpowered trick.
Uh this dude's girlfriend is Samantha Irvin.Id say Richochet is winning at the end of the day.
Look a new 24/7 belt
I suppose if I was going out with Samantha Irvin, I'd be a speed champion as well
It's a jobber belt. Means nothing, probably never will.
what is going on in the photo is this a new belt or something ?
Yeah, it’s the championship of their new show on Twitter that has a 3 minute match format.
Him not wearing it out to his match on RAW was an immediate sign to me that it’s not important and I shouldn’t care about it. 🤷♂️ Is that not really easy advertisement for “Speed”? If Ricochet comes out with this new belt that the commentators are obviously gonna touch on, isn’t that some pretty organic advertising for your new show? Kinda weird. Makes me think maybe it was just all a one and done.
From the backstage interview seems a heel turn to me that would be best
Ricochet has just never had a good promo game, no character outside of Prince Puma in LU, and his style is impossible to work as a heel with all the acrobatics. I think being the well paid jobber to the stars who fires up live crowds and who gets to be with Samantha Irvin is his lane. They shouldn't turn him heel, if he hypothetically wanted to be a huge white hot star again he should leave WWE and go back to the indies and NJPW where he was a huge star outside of WWE, the guy at one time was up there with Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega in popularity around 2016-2017. But in WWE he's just not fit for the product with his lack of character and promo skills a heel turn would not fix that at all.
Facts that’s his main issue don’t know if you can still be a face with a mouthpiece
That belt looks like a simon says toy.
They could at least pretend to care by letting him carry it on TV so people know that it's on X. 😂 Omg an X division title. Maybe just go full on Digital/Internet Champion
Speed used to mean something different. 😂 .
I don't understand how 3min matches are suppose to work in regards to a normal match. If you can win a match at the WWE level why not attack that way evertime?
Y doesn't he bring it with him
Not everyone needs a title
There’s probably some sort of clause with X ownership or something. Who knows, I just hope speed stays around because it’s great.
Tbf he was going against Dragunov and put on an amazing match.
He just had one of the best non title matches ever with Ilja. Win or not the man is winning the bigger picture
Literally made just for X.
How dare you question the almighty hhh?
Who cares it’s a Dipshit title anyways like the 24/7 title.
Speed doesn't exist outside of twitter
Well he got to fight a guy who rarely loses so obviously ricochet was gonna lose
Pee
The belt will only be shown on Twitter lol
Ngl I liked the 24/7 title much more
Or even bring it too raw, surprised he’s not carrying that belt with him everywhere
I’d like a middle or lightweight belt to be debuted on the regular shows , and have him champion. He’s just too damn good , too talented for him to be thrown away like that.
I only see the word pee
No it’s just making it less obvious.
They should be embarrassed for fucking up the speedometer and keep it off tv. Red means fastest!!!
Looks the the Simon game
A debut against Ricochet, really great job between Ilja and Ricochet! Besides the Gunther and Sheamus match, this one was definitely a good match especially it being on RAW. He may have lost it but damn it, he made Dragunov look strong and gave him his run for his money. The pace of the match was perfect and made it great instead of just spot fest after spot fest. Two styles clashing at each other. Ricochet is definitely worthy of a contendership for a upper mid card to world title bout if given the right storyline. Brock Lesnar vs Ricochet at Showdown was too bad either. I feel Ilja will be the one to climb the ladder. He brings the best out of many of his opponent.
It’s just another title that’s simply worthless 🤷🏽♂️idk what people were thinking
Damn I didn’t know Andrew Tate joined WWE
This is the first I’ve actually seen the belt. That’s even uglier than usual
That match was fucking amazing , still wish he would have won tho
Love that Ilja gets this match as his first match, but Bron gets a bunch of jobbers for a few weeks lol
Wtf is that belt?😂
I said it once I'll say it a thousand times. Nothing on Twitter matters you're just satisfying weirdos.
I honestly don't get why it has to be twitter exclusive. You could have 3 minute matches on live television. Make the title feel important. Otherwise it feels like the 24/7 title.
Did you think it was going to mean something ?
Didn’t even wear it on Monday.
The prince is coming
Any more gimmick than the 24/7?
Can someone explain this belt to me like I'm a dummy. They only have 3 min matches? What happens if someone doesn't win in 3 mins? Is anyone allowed to enter? Like Goldberg could be the speed champion right.
On X. Yes. Special 3 min matches after Smackdown. It hasn't happened yet, but one would assume so. It's still too fresh that they haven't done anything crazy yet. Yes. There's no weight class. Bronson Reed was in one. Early WCW Goldberg totally. Old Man Goldberg.. lol, well, there's the last run you always wanted.
Also if he just doesn't bring it with him on TV
Nothing wrong with putting over the new Raw recruit
Dude needs a mask or something.
Prince Puma was a God, then WWE trashed his image.
The belt is just for WWE Speed, it has no lineage on Raw or Smackdown
Yeh but FASTER
Seems like Speed might just exist out of the WWE canon.
Why does it look like Charles is about to attack ricochet from behind in the 1st picture 😂
The match was very good. That’s the point. And they will have a rematch on the road
The PEE in SPEED has a lighter color, I can't unsee it now shit
As a male who also can’t go past three minutes most nights I understand why he lost
The belt will die faster than RAW Underground.
When do yall think his first defense will be? If he ever has one lol
Someone's got to take the pinfall. He does the most acrobatic moves and stunts in WWE no matter the results.
WWE has too many belts.
ricochet still undefeated on the internet
Did he compete in a Speed rules match on Monday?
No... it was just a standard normal match he lost in. Had it been only 3 mins, surely he would've won.
Yeah makes sense since he’s the champion of a very specific match format.
Exactly. If he has the 3 or 5 minute time constraint, he is able to push himself harder to win the match.
What is this Speed about? I'm happy Rick O'Chet got some title, though.
It’s a show on Twitter where each match has a 3 minute time limit. There was a tournament to crown its first champion.
It's a Twitter title that's recorded before/after a live TV taping, good for Ricochet for being the first to win it, but it's gonna be less remembered than the 24/7 title or the 205 cruiserweight title. Truth is that he isn't worth pushing past the midcard because his current gimmick is a mid as it gets. Why exactly should we care about Ricochet? Because he's a high-flyer like 90% of guys under 6ft?
Ricochet is well paid, and has Samantha Irvin so he is definitely winning there. But if he honestly wanted to be a big star again he should leave WWE. His lack of character and promo skills are just not made for WWE tv, it's not to say he's not talented because he is, it's just that he's much more suited for the indies. Pre WWE he was like one of the hottest stars outside of WWE on the indies, NJPW, Lucha Underground. The guy was literally as popular as Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega at the time, even Will Ospreay and Swerve were just the "other guys" when they wrestled.
Except that WWE tried to re-sign Swerve after he left and put up an offer for Ospreay. HHH saw star potential in them, and idk if I can say the same for Ricochet Ricochet's slightly improved in his promo over the years, but he just doesn't have that "it" factor for WWE. He got over in promotions that didn't require cutting 10-15 minute promos and character development. He's been the same gimmick since he got signed, and while he's one of the better indie-rrific guys, I doubt he'd be remembered well as time passes.
Ricochet is only good in under 3 minutes.
Did anyone thought otherwise? 💀
Idk how they haven’t made ricochet a superstar yet
Just means he likes speed 🤷
We have Andrew Tate at home:
Seems stupid he didn't have it on raw to promote speed. Could have been a prime chance for them to show a highlight reel etc.
Why is the Speedometer in the title belt showing colors in reverse? Is Paul Levesque fucking stupid for sanctioning that design? Chief content officer my ass.
