Ricky Saints Doesn’t Believe He’s Good At Jumping Off The Top Rope

Ricky Saints looks like a natural in the ring with a smooth style, whether he’s wrestling or talking.

Though Saints has shown he can do a little bit of everything in the ring, and outside of the ring, is there something he believes he’s not good at.

That was the question posed to him on Huge Pop with Donnie DaSilva and Jimmy Korderas.

“If you asked the internet, I’m not good at playing guitar [laughs]. I don’t know, politicking? I don’t know what I’m not good at….you know what, actually, I’m not that good at a lot of jumping off the top rope. I get up there and I’m very unathletic in my head. The way that I think I’m jumping and the reality of it are two different things,” he said.

DaSilva mentioned that Saints looks natural coming off the top rope when he does the old-school rope walk, which may have given the impression that he’s more of a high-flyer than he actually is.

“Sometimes it feels like an obstacle, but I never really thought of myself as that,” Saints said, speaking on being looked at as a high-flyer because of his size. “There was a time I was trying to figure out what style I am, and I just came to the point where I don’t really have a specific style that I do. These guys that I was coming up with were like, ‘I’m a technical wrestler.’ I can do kind of all of it, but I’m more of a pastiche type guy. Everything is a blend of a blend of a blend. That does sometimes bite you in the butt, but I don’t really let it bother me. I don’t like those type of restraints”

Saints did challenge Rey Fenix for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship on Friday’s SmackDown in Mexico City.
