Ricochet on working with young AEW talent: ‘We’re all learning from each other’

Ricochet has enjoyed working with a new generation of high-flyers in AEW.

During an appearance on Casual Conversations with The Classic, Ricochet was asked about being a veteran now and working with wrestlers like Dante Martin and Nick Wayne who were influenced by his style of competition. Ricochet said this younger generation asks him questions and he gives them advice, but he’s learning from them as well because wrestling is always evolving.

“It’s been awesome. Yeah, they absolutely pick my brain, they ask questions, they want to know things. But I still am asking them questions. Again, because wrestling is evolving. Like you said, they’re trying to bring our style up,” Ricochet said.

“So we’re all learning from each other still. As much as they can learn from me, I’m still learning from them. And the same goes for like — you know, I’m still learning from guys like Adam [Copeland] and Christian [Cage]. And Dean Malenko is there. And Chris Jericho is there. And all those guys are there I’m still learning from, at the same time I’m learning from the Nick Waynes and so on. So it’s cool to see how the learning goes both ways.”

After departing WWE, the 36-year-old Ricochet debuted for AEW this summer. He already has victories over both Martin and Wayne during his AEW run.

Ricochet is currently participating in the Continental Classic. He has a 0-1 record in the Gold League so far with a loss to Claudio Castagnoli. The other Gold League participants are Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Brody King, and Juice Robinson — though Robinson’s status is in question due to a foot injury.
