@codyssmith73 5 жыл бұрын

@Shin Bakurenoh No, what Corny was going for is "Ricochet is Rey's hand picked blood brother, the one who will fight alongside him in his revenge towards Kevin Owens for stripping Rey of his mask and trying to ruin the Mysterio name". To be honest, the idea is rough.... but with a bit of tweaking, it 1. Gets Ricochet over 2. A guy who becomes huge down in Mexico, a crowd Vince always wants in his back pocket & 3. If done right, gives them a ton of merch to sell, a story that can be fleshed out (Maybe the LHP join Rey & Richochet as a new stable outta nowhere as an example) & a mega star for years to come.

I watched this episode with my 7-year-old Nephew. He got sick of everyone talking and around the U.S. title match my nephew asked me if I remember Fenix (Ray Fenix). I said 'yes' then my Nephew said: "I miss him does he wrestle here (WWE)?" I said, "No Fenix wrestles for AEW, and they begin on May 25th; I'll watch it with you." My Nephew was happy, and then we watched Fenix highlights on my phone. If WWE is trying to appeal to kids, they are doing a lousy job.
