Ricochet talks anime.
Ricochet, and his high-flying offense in the wrestling ring, has often been compared to anime characters from series such as Dragon Ball Z and Naruto. As it turns out, Ricochet, and many of the WWE Superstars are also fans of the medium.
In a new interview with Crunchyroll, Ricochet actually reveals that the gigantic Omos has actually turned him on to the anime, Jujutsu Kaisen
“I think now because we're all older now we are all recommending stuff to each other. It's actually a couple of people,”. Omos was the one who recommended JUJUTSU KAISEN to me. We've had a couple of guys recommend Attack on Titan for me and so that's something I want to continue watching. Attack on Titan is crazy so I really want to make sure I'm paying attention to it.
“But yeah, I think you see people wearing like — I think I saw one of the guys walking around with some Demon Slayer water style shoes on, like the Nike check with the water style check. I walked in here earlier with a Naruto shirt on. Like you see with guys with stuff on all the time, especially now, because, again, I think it's what we like. Yeah, we're older now, but we still like that stuff.”
Additionally, Ricochet spoke about the anime one piece and named his own Straw Hat pirates comprised of WWE Superstars, with him, of course, being the lead.
“I would definitely be Luffy. I’m the rubber man! The way Ricochet is, he’s always getting beat up but he’s always prevailing. Anything he says he’s gonna do he attacks it head-on. Drew McIntyre is probably going to be my Zoro. AJ Styles can be my Sanji. I wonder if AJ can cook? Tozawa gotta be Usopp. Charlotte would be Nico Robin. Liv Morgan would probably be Nami. And Montez could be Brook.”
Ricochet just came off of a run as the WWE Intercontinental Champion and has also been WWE United States Champion and NXT North American Champion throughout his career.
