Ricochet defends the “spamming” of finishing moves after Booker T says it is a “huge problem”
During WWE Hall of Famer Booker T’s podcast, co-host Brad Gilmore stated the following…
“The finisher spam, where you hit the guy with your finish three or four times and he kicks out every time—God, that bothers the hell out of me. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just old school in my way of thinking.”
Booker T agreed with Gilmore, “No, you’re not. And I think that’s a huge problem as well.”
AEW star Ricochet responded to the criticism by writing on Twitter/X, “Say you’ve never watched DragonBall Z without saying you’ve never watched DragonBall Z. 👑” He added, “Drama, story, high level action, intensity, cliffhangers. That’s what i grew up on.”

Ricochet also responded to a fan that said excessive finishers take away from the suspense of a match…
“I disagree. It gives more suspense. Because in other promotions we KNOW the match isnt gonna end until someone hits their ONLY move that ends the match. So everyone is just sitting and waiting until that one move, knowing the match isn’t gonna end until that happens.”
