What should they do with Ricochet?
Now that Ricochet/Prince Puma has been signed by WWE what would you do with him?
Start him in NXT along with most of the other “Indie Darlings” to get him “acclimated” to the “WWE Style”? Send him straight to 205Live/Cruiserweight Division to be the centrepiece of the show/Division? Debut him on Raw or SmackDown? |

I'd use him on NXT first. 205 Live is a kiss of death, and I have a feeling that the show will die sometime this year -- stubborn as Vince can be. See if he can tone down like Johnny Gargano and become a wonderful babyface for you.

I'd say NXT with a new name. Fresh start could be good for him similar to Alister Black.

A short stay in NXT mostly to help improve his promo skills and then make him into the focal point of 205 Live like how Rey Mysterio was with the previous Cruiser division.
If WWE doesn't want him to speak a lot like with Lucha Underground, then put him right on 205 Live after some training in the PC. |

Tag team with Braun Strowman. He can be Rip McFlip.

He's nearly ready. NXT will help him. He's going to be a big deal. Hes been working on his posturing the past few years and its stellar. TV ready. They will work on his mic skills, he just needs the right guys teaching him. He will learn.

Actually haven't seen a lot of him in the ring. I'm keen to see his Takeover work, assuming he goes there.

Saw some Prince Puma stuff and it was good, but got old quick.
Only seen pictures of him without the mask, and to me he looked better with it on. |

He's in great shape, and he looks quite "gruff" for a little guy. Can physically project himself like a "man" and doesn't necessarily come off like a little boy. In the stuff I've seen anyway. It's a good sign that he won't automatically end up being beaten by Goldust in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match.

Ricochet has loads of potential to be a huge star for them. He's young enough, has a unique/high energy style and seems likable. Give him a few months in NXT/Perf. Center and his promos will be up to be par too.
Most of the time when people are bad at cutting promos it's because they are self-conscious about public speaking -- a lot of the wrestlers know how to sell 'physically' it's just a matter of the right person working with them to teach them how to sell 'verbally' and help them get past concentrating on being self-conscious of how they sound/look when doing a promo. |

When you take a acting class that's one of the first things a teacher works with the class on. They focus on making words into actions. And the actions are always focused on someone else, whoever you are talking to.
If you are saying a line/cutting a promo maybe your action is you want to destroy your opponent, confuse your opponent, piss off your opponent, etc. Once people get in the hang of using words as actions, they tend to stop being self-conscious/focusing on themselves speaking and become much better performers. |

NXT. Let the fans like myself who have no idea who this guy is see what he can do while getting a loud pop from the smart fans who know his shtick.

Tom Smith, a medieval era peasant magically traveling through time to 2018. He could come out with a pitchfork and dirty clothes and talk about "crops" every promo.
