#3 Ricochet
There’s really good reason to believe that the WWE’s entire Cruiserweight division push could culminate in the 2018 WWE debut of Ricochet and the entire world finally coming to terms with the idea that pro wrestling as done by performers under 225 pounds is the future.
When not performing as Richochet in New Japan’s rings, he’s Prince Puma for Lucha Underground and a lynchpin of that product. Richochet not only physically jumps off the page as a main event calibre performer, he also does so by wrestling a death-defying style that often makes wrestling rings look as if they exist in more than three dimensions.
That’s a mind-blowing concept to consider, and for as much as what Matt Hardy is doing for “alternative dimensions” in pro wrestling, Richochet’s performing is astounding in a similar, yet different way.
