Ricochet Gives An Insight Into a Day In His Life

Cody Rhodes vs. Ricochet - Lights Out Full Match

NJPW superstar Ricochet recently shared a day in his life with Sports Illustrated as a part of their “Extra Mustard” series. Throughout the article, he gives his insights on various topics, including his thoughts his girlfriend, Tessa Blanchard’s participation in the “Mae Young Classic,” an upcoming match with Rey Mysterio and more.

Below are some highlights, along with the “Future of Flight’s” commentary:

2:45 A.M.: ARRIVED AT MARRIOTT IN PROVIDENCE WITH GIRLFRIEND TESSA BLANCHARD.

“I worked Cody Rhodes on Friday and then Flip Gordon on Saturday in Troy, N.Y., with Northeast Wrestling,” said Ricochet, whose real name is Trevor Mann. “It was outdoors in a big baseball stadium under the stars, and I’d never done anything quite like that. With the breeze, it was fantastic. Outside of a match with PWG, June 11 was my last show. I’ve really taken the last month off.”

10:00 A.M.: HEARD TESSA AWAKE, YET CHOSE TO STAY IN BED.

“Yeah, there was no way I was getting up,” admitted Ricochet. “I slept through the whole night. I set an alarm to wake up at 11:30, but I slept so well I didn’t even get up. Sleeping comes easy to me. As soon as I lay my head down, I fall asleep like flicking a switch. Tessa woke up earlier, but I woke up about ten minutes before my ride.”

Ricochet also smiled when discussing Blanchard’s role in WWE’s Mae Young Classic women’s tournament.

“Tessa’s making her way,” said Ricochet. “Only four years in, but she’s making plays. Of course, I’m proud of her and happy for her.”

7:00 P.M.: AS A PERPLEXED BUILDING OPERATIONS MEMBER LOOKS ON, RICOCHET FINDS A QUIET SPOT NEAR THE ZAMBONI TOWARD THE BACK OF THE HOCKEY RINK BEFORE HIS MATCH WITH MYSTERIO.

“Pre-match, I go off into a corner by myself,” said Ricochet, who then poured water on his head. “This is the time to pace, drown out all my thoughts, and get into the zone. Once the music hits, here we go.”

Ricochet also noted that the crowd will play a critical factor in the success of his match.

“So much of how I’m feeling is based off the crowd. I feed off them and they energize us. When they’re feeling it when we’re in the ring, that’s when we’re feeling it, too. So I’m feeling out the crowd for their energy as soon as I walk toward the ring.”

They also talk about a potential move to WWE, his thoughts on the product and more.
