AEW National Champion Ricochet was all over Las Vegas media yesterday with appearances
on the ABC, FOX and NBC affiliates.
He also made a lot of waves today by writing on
social media that the worst thing that happened to his wrestling "legacy" was his WWE main roster call up, describing that time period as killing his passion for pro wrestling and stating the company did the same to Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor, Apollo Crews and others. When asked by a fan why wrestlers still go there, Ricochet responded, "Because it was a childhood dream. So they want to see for themselves. Plus, lots of people like fame. And it is the biggest company so you'll be more "famous." He also noted that he tried to quit the company but they wouldn't give him his release, writing, "They took my love of pro wrestling away. I'll never forget how I felt walking into work every week. And that platform was only to make other look good at my expense. And I told them, I'd rather quit and go back to the indies and make whatever I'd make there than to come back next week - And because of that THEN they made me IC and didn't grant me my release."
