Ricochet Comments on “Speedball” Mike Bailey Joining AEW

A recent episode of The Mark Hoke Show podcast featured Ricochet as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Ricochet’s thoughts about “Speedball” Mike Bailey joining AEW and him recently making his official debut in the company.

“Yes, I’m very excited. Obviously, I’ve known ‘Speedball’ for a long — I don’t even know how long. A long time now. I remember when he first started debuting and stuff on the independent scene. So I’m very aware of Mike Bailey as well… But yeah, it’s great to have Mike Bailey. You know, new blood on the roster. A new guy that I am gonna be able to just smack in his mouth. A new guy that I’m gonna be able to just basically dog walk and not have to worry about. But, for the company, it’s great. I mean, for me, I’m not really too worried but for the company, it’s great.”
