Ricochet explains why “if there wasn’t a Ricochet, there would not be AEW”

During an interview with 1035 KISSFM, AEW star Ricochet said the following about his contributions to the wrestling business…

“I mean, I think, come on, let’s be like, and I’m not saying that I am the sole reason, I’m just saying… if there wasn’t a Ricochet, there would not be AEW. Again, I’m not saying I’m the sole reason that it happened, but I’m just saying I feel like what I have done, you know with [Will] Ospreay, PAC, AR Fox, with Dragon Gate, with PWG, with everything, you know, overseas, you know, New Japan, everything—I feel like what I have done in my past career helps set up a world where AEW can’t exist, you know?

And I’m not saying it’s just me, it’s me, it’s the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, it’s Ospreay, it’s everybody. But I’m just saying, without Ricochet, there’d be no Ospreay, really, you know what I’m saying? But uh, leading in, I think, you know, just all of us guys, our passion, without that, there would be no AEW. So I think I am a good fit.” (quote courtesy of RingsideNews.com)
