While speaking on the Behind The Turnbuckle podcast, wrestling veteran Jonathan Coachman believed that Triple H was a factor in Ricochet not reaching the top level in WWE. Coachman explained that Triple H, who prefers storytelling and hard-hitting matches, might not have favored Ricochet’s high-flying, spot-focused style. According to Coachman, Triple H’s preferences influenced how Ricochet was utilized in WWE.
>“I believe part of the reason he didn’t make it in the WWE to the levels that a lot of people thought he would, Tommy, is because when you have Triple H who’s the head guy and Triple H was always, his style was always storytelling, it was always hard matches that you really sell, the hair and all that. That was not Ricochet’s style. It’s a high spot after a high spot after a high spot. And I think, for at least Triple H, and he’s the end-all-be-all, he just doesn’t like that style on a major superstar.”
