A friend of mine who follows pro wrestling as closely as I do had a simple inquiry after a pair of scissors was plunged multiple times into the bloody head of Swerve Strickland.

“Is Ricochet interesting now?” was the question I got.

And the answer is just as simple: ‘Yes.” 

What we saw from Ricochet on “AEW Dynamite” last Wednesday — in its first simulcast on Max — was not only a turning point in his wrestling career, but one of his finest hours.
