Forever Forward Fridays

War Machine (c) VS Ricochet/Angelico - WCPW Tag Team Championship War Machine Rules 9/28/2017

JJZ: FYI, fast forward to about the 5 minute mark. Alright! We are going from. Meat slappy hoss battle to a speed VS power battle. This is an open challenge match so it was cool seeing the crowd's reaction to finding out the wrestlers. Just like the last FFF match this is No DQ, but this week's match is more fun and less heated than VS PBK. This was an entertaining spotfest. Perfect match to be live for. Hanson's always impressive with his agility being such a thick son of a bitch. Ricochet displayed quite a bit of power himself but man he can flip flop and fly.  Good match I'd love sharing with you homie.

CJD: I always like when we land on a match coincidentally when a wrestler is at a significant moment in their career. That's the case with Ricochet this Friday and this is a great showcase match for the One And Only. I thought he was the most impressive guy in there, and that's impressive in a match where everyone impressed! You mentioned the live energy of this match, which is what it was all about for me. The spontaneous booking, the open challenger reveals, and the seat of your pants style of match. This hit on a lot of fun indie cliches in a good way. Also I love any chance for some unexpected Angelico!

I Gaze, Dim Ricochet Of Stars

Ricochet VS Jeff Cobb - OTT Wrestlerama Belfast 8/6/2017

JJZ: With this match I wanted to show Ricochet working with the opposite of A-Kid. Someone bigger and more of an independent veteran. I also was super stoked to see Cobb throw the King around. I thought they did add some basic but nice psychology while still doing the big crowd pleasing spots. I really enjoyed this match, I couldn't figure out which way it would go. I bit on the falsies and had a couple "Damn!" moments. These two would make for a fantastic best of 7 series. Their styles are different enough to really have different levels of matches.

CJD: Yeah, Ricochet and Cobb could have played the hits for this overseas match and the crowd would have went just as wild and nobody would have said one negative word. Instead they went out and clearly had fun doing something unique to that night and still delivered a red hot match. Not quite as good as their BOLA contest but I give them a lot of respect for keeping it fresh. These two have such a great power VS speed dynamic, where they're both surprisingly strong and agile too, so there's a lot of oneupsmanship. I think you can guess my one criticism which is I wish Ricochet went back to the leg. But Cobb's selling was so good I almost don't mind. Almost. I agree whole heartedly that I could watch them wrestle many times over, I wonder if there's any more matches out there?

Hungry Like The White Wolf

Ricochet VS A-Kid - White Wolf Wrestling 1/28/2017

CJD: After watching a bit more of A-Kid, I may have given him a little too much credit for having a "less is more" approach. He definitely moved in that direction over time but he also likes to get his shit in. And this is 2017 but what he lacks in maturity Ricochet more than makes up for with a young veteran presence. This match is more of a Ricochet touring attraction contest and even having seen plenty of Ricochet it's a damn good attraction. His selling, his facials, his presence, plus yeah they do some spectacular stuff. This is the type of match that made me rewind 5 minute chunks of action to let it sink in. I enjoyed every moment of it, including the post match stuff, and I think you will too.

JJZ: These White Wolf crowds are into it man. Jesus. Ricochet physically looks like a million bucks in this match. Kid looks like Ricochet when Ricochet started out. Kid definitely got his shit in in this match. I would've loved to have been in the building for this one. This was a great showcase match for everyone involved. If A-Kid didn't get signed to NXT UK he would've been in the position Ricochet was in during this match. Being a big indy draw and the featured match on every card. I enjoyed this match on a few different levels but mostly just as a fan.
