Why Ricochet Won't Do Double Moonsaults Anymore

AEW Wrestler Ricochet explains why he probably won't be doing the double moonsault anymore #aew #wwe #wrestling #ricochet

I just realized he's only 12 years younger than Rey Mysterio

Thought ricochet was in his late 20's

What I can appreciate about ricochet is that he's not a reckless worker, he has done his style for a while with minimal injury, he doesn't wanna kill himself out there

"Im not 26 anymore, im 36!" Someone shouldve told Edge this.

[levy]

Valid answer. Ricochet aka Prince Puma has entertained wrestling fans for years with his elite brand of high flying wrestling, but his body is past its physical peak, and he needs to take that into account and be a bit more careful with the risks he takes.

The human body not only begins to start slowing down as we reach our mid 30s, but it also starts to take much longer to bounce back from damage. Ricochet can extend his career a ton and still put on extremely entertaining high-level matches without using some of the moves that require the absolute limits of his physical ability.

36 in athlete age is very different than average 36. Dude has gotten banged up daily for years and recovery times slow with age

It's a good decision for him, but damn it i still disappointed cause i really wanted to see it again

[tayblair]

CVV had my exact reaction to Ricochet saying he'll not do the double moonsault again 😲

[yuhaye]

Guaranteed 90% of the botches we see are caused by fatigue

Ricochet's response might have inadvertently proved a number of the retired veterans' criticisms correct about constant high-risk, high-flying wrestling being a career-shortening style. We've all heard plenty of commentary online about how that style cant last long-term for any wrestler wanting to go 20, 30, 40 years in the ring.

Anyway, I've always enjoyed Ricochet long before he flew into a WWE ring. I fondly recall his minority as Prince Puma and soon after his ascending reign as King Ricochet. What lies ahead for the brilliant flyer will be interesting to see unfold.

Was at that War Games in LA. It was a sight to behold.

"Probably"?
This guy needs to headline Double or Nothing before he turns 40

[EAnd-ml]

Gotta have another interview with the one and only he is so cool!

[aaronlinton-chambers]

I love that he is developing his confidence and showing more of his personality. I think he’s been overly criticised about his mic skills and I think if he’s given more time to speak and work with the hurt business we could see him as a good heel and even hold the main title belt one day.

I miss it so much i discovered him and indy wrestling because i saw the double moonsault thanks ricochet for opening the forbidden door for me in 2013

Stay safe Ricochet it's true we can't have enough of you, but you've done your part now it's your time to spent with your family and if you keep wrestling do it safely 🙏🏻

[GBTwelveSixteen]

Some wrestlers known for big moves like that don't need to do them as they get older. Styles used to do the Spiral Tap but these days, he's admitted he's forgotten how to do it (*insert Pokemon joke here*)

[allainangcao]

It is the same reason why AJ Styles won't do the Spiral Tap anymore. It is the most beautiful thing you will ever see but once you start getting up there in age, it is just not going to be fun.

[TheHuskyK]

Father Time always catches up to you. Very glad we were able to watch Ricochet at his athletic peak

[worldelite]

He's Smart, look what happened to Kota Ibushi in 2021, he's never the same.

[elives]

Another interesting fact about ricochet is that he’s from Paducah Kentucky. Which is where my dad is from.
