There's a term that is used amongst wrestling fans and experts alike -- "indie darling." An indie darling is someone who has a huge independent following, as well as a lot of success throughout his or her journey. Guys like Colt Cabana, Matt Sydal, and Chris Hero were all prime examples of what a true indie darling is. Ricochet is also someone who I would consider an indie darling.

Better known by many of his opponents and fans by his alias, which is "The Future of Flight," Ricochet is indeed half-man, half-amazing as he has done things inside a wrestling ring that seem impossible. Ricochet has had significant success in major indie promotions such as Chikara, Dragon Gate USA, and PWG just to name a few. Not to mention his championship run as Prince Puma with Lucha Underground.
It's also worth noting that Ricochet is currently dating second-generation star, Tessa Blanchard. Tessa is the daughter of legendary Four Horsman Tully Blanchard. Her stepfather is another legend we all know as Magnum T.A.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
