#3 Ricochet

In the past decade or so, independent wrestling has seen a surge in popularity unlike any time before. Some actually compare the current state of indie wrestling to the old territory days.

Those who have become frustrated with WWE's writing and/or creative issues now have viable alternatives to seek out. Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerilla, EVOLVE, ICW, and CZW are just a few of the recommended promotions out there that fans should check out. Not to mention the rebirth of the National Wrestling Alliance, thanks to Billy Corgan and crew.

With the rise in indie wrestling popularity, there has also been a new breed of talented performers who have found success without even touching a WWE ring. One of those names was Ricochet, prior to signing with the WWE. Ricochet became infamous for his 5-Star matches and amazing high-flying ring work.

For years, Ricochet was one of the top guys who WWE fans thought we would probably never see in a WWE ring. Thankfully, we now have full access to this amazingly talented superstar and if WWE's creative brass plays fair, Ricochet will soon be at the very top of the WWE main roster.

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.
