If he ditches those shitty little shorts and stops sounding like a geek (aka "If Ricochet wins, The Hurt Business have to leave him alone"), yes. Ricochet has that "Deadshot in Suicide Squad" vibe to him. All he has to do is be a badass Superhero type and he will be good. In NXT, he was booked perfectly. That flip to the outside and Staredown with Velveteen Dream said it all. He might be average on the mic but that one spot said more than he could ever say on the mic. I've said this a lot recently. Ricochet is the easiest type if person to get over. Have him do cool shit, hype that he does cool shit and let him win. Jeff hardy and RVD are just as bad if not worse on the mic. When he did that front flip and landed on his feet to confront Velveteen Dream? That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in wrestling.

Have you ever looked at the back of a 20 dollar bill? Have you ever looked at the back of a 20 dollar bill…on Ricochet?

This is literally failing upwards. Vince likely had no idea who the f*** Ricochet was but then Cesaro left and Vince needed someone...and just went put a bald guy in as the #2 babyface. I mean, I doubt that’s the case, but that visual is hilarious.

"Ricochet" may or may not be code for coke...

I will be curious who he defends against at Wrestlemania. Cody? A multi-man latter match?

Multi-man seems possible, especially if they finally plan to give Sheamus the IC title win he's been wanting for ages. That gets Kingston, Big E, Sheamus and Holland into the match, at least. Cesaro would've been perfect to make it an even six, but alas.

Sami held the title for a couple weeks and it was still a better reign than Nak's.

And now dude is IC Champion. He saved us from a potential Johnny Knoxville IC Title reign, so he must really be a superhero.

I remember him looking less weird with a mop of curly hair in a match against Claudio once, but yeah, he looked less weird there but still weirder than shaved, which suits him a good deal better.

I'm happy they seem to be pushing him again but it's hard to get excited over the midcard titles because they feel so filler and meaningless.

Makes me think (and hope) we’ll see a multi-man ladder match, especially with the Andre not scheduled for the main cards.

Won the IC title last night. Glad to see it.
So, Vince change his mind yet?
