Super athletic indy dude.

In the 90s, that was RVD. I know the ring was smaller and shit, but his ECW run was totally absurd and ridiculous. The frog splash. The cannonball into the crowd. Good times.

In the 2000s, that was AJ Styles. I vaguely remembered him from the dying days of WCW, but he was a big reason I kept trying to enjoy TNA. I'm still VERY happy that he eventually faded and left TNA, rid himself of the TNA stank in NJPW, and then made it big in WWE.

Now, duh...King Richochet. He got me through any lean times in Lucha Underground. I marked out last year in New Orleans at the NXT show. I lose my shit every time I see him land on his feet on the flip when he rolls up on Velveteen Dream. And FYI, I was down for his gymnastics exhibition with dude in NJPW. Every match couldn't be like that, but I'm glad they just styled on everybody physically with that shit.
