10 Wrestlers and their superhero counterparts - Part 1

#3: Ricochet - Spiderman

Just after speaking in the ring, Ricochet pulled off one of the greatest flips to the outside after interrupted by Velveteen Dream.

There are a lot of wrestlers that could be compared to Spider-Man - Will Ospreay, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Neville and Rey Mysterio. But I chose 'the One and Only' of NXT, Ricochet.

And even though that nickname sounds like that of an arrogant person, Ricochet has done nothing but back up the nickname ever since he joined NXT. His antics in the ladder match for the NXT North American Championship were amazing.

He jumped all around the cages and rings at WarGames 2. He even performed one of the most amazing feats on NXT TV when he simply jumped out of the ring onto the ramp to confront the Velveteen Dream.

Okay, he didn't simply jump out of the ring. He performed a full 360 flip over the top ropes after getting a running start. It placed him a few feet away from the Dream. If you haven's seen it, just google 'Ricochet and Spider-Man jump'.

And then you'll see why the comparison fits. Both are slender, agile heroes that are often flying through the sky. Ricochet flies through the sky when he's jumping off the top rope or performing his finishing 630 splash.

Spider-Man literally flies through the skies thanks to his web-slinging. He attaches from one building to the next, gliding through the sky with the greatest of ease. When Ricochet performs most of his moves, he does so with the greatest of ease. He has sometimes worn a cape to the ring when wrestling for NXT.

Spider-Man is a hero that is often helping out others and Ricochet did the same when the Undisputed Era attacked the War Raiders and Pete Dunne.
