Ricochet has been receiving positive feedback for his recent heel turn in AEW, with Thunder Rosa and Tommy Dreamer becoming the latest to praise his performance. The AEW star has fully embraced his heel persona, and with it, he’s had more opportunities to showcase his mic skills. Rosa and Dreamer discussed Ricochet’s work during a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, offering their thoughts on his character development. Below are some highlights from their discussion (h/t to Wrestling Inc):
Thunder Rosa on Ricochet’s mic work in AEW:
“I don’t think I [have] ever seen Ricochet talk the way that he does now. I know that when he was feuding with Logan Paul, he had an opportunity to cut a couple promos, but his peer was a little bit better on the mic because he was a jackass, right? But now, he has that opportunity that he probably never had before, to really be a nasty, little jerk, and I think it is working.”
Tommy Dreamer on Ricochet’s character:
“I don’t think he was comfortable in front of a microphone. Now we’re seeing this other type of character. … He [committed] a very, very violent act, and seemed to enjoy it, and it’s a different side of him.”
