Ricochet’s most cherished match is the 2016 match with Rey Mysterio.
On a recent edition of the “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, Ricochet reflected on his match with Mysterio in Lucha Underground in January 2016.
The AEW star said, “I always go to me versus Rey Mysterio [as my favorite] just because it’s freakin’ Rey Mysterio. He was, I don’t even know what the word is — gracious. I think he just came back off of knee surgery too, so a lot of his concerns, he was putting them to the side to do things with me, like top rope [hurricanranas] and catch ‘ranas.”
He continued, “He was, not afraid for his knee, but it was in his mind. He put all that to the side and was like, ‘No, let’s do whatever you think.’ So that stuck with me because he could have been like, ‘Oh, my knee. I don’t really want to do anything.’ He could have, and I would have been like, ‘No problem, we’ll get around it,’ but he was like, ‘No, let’s do whatever you want.’”
Ricochet and Mysterio faced off two more times in singles matches, one in XWA and the other in WCPW. Although they faced each other multiple times in WWE, it was never in a singles bout.
