The Paducah, Kentucky native joined Ryan O'Bryan and me earlier this morning on air to talk about a lot of fun things including:

His early days wrestling in the Paducah area
How he came up with the name "Ricochet"
Memories of wrestling in Evansville pre-WWE
His most memorable WWE title win
Braun Stroman
Some fun rapid-fire questions about himself and his favorite WWE moments/Superstars
and a lot more!

It was honestly, one of my favorite interviews that I have ever done in my career. So, take a listen to our chat with the "Human Highlight Reel", Ricochet!

Wrestling Matches That Could Win A Gold Medal If Professional Wresting Were An Olympic Sport

I belelive that these are some of the best matches of all time. No gimmicks, just a good old fashioned match that told a great story and left the crowd in awe of what they just witnessed.

See How Downtown Evansville Has Changed Over the Years

I find looking back on the way things used to be fascinating. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm living through the current time period. The conveniences of answering any question we have in seconds, or ordering practically anything we want or need and having it delivered to our doorstep is pretty sweet. But, there is something fun about seeing how things around us have evolved. As an Evansville native, and spending quite a bit of my time in downtown Evansville (that's where the station is located), I've always appreciated the older architecture of the buildings around the area. So, I dug into the Willard Library Archives to see how a few of those areas look now compared to then. Some have changed a little, others quite a bit, and a few don't even exist any more. Take a look.
