Speaking with🔥 Case Lowe for , Ricochet was asked about his time in Dragongate, and he noted that he liked the style. He then compared wrestling to anime.

“Their style for me is my favorite. Again, I like anime, I like the big shows…I say wrestling is anime, it really is. Wrestling and anime are so similar as far as, even for example, old characters like Ric Flair for example. In an anime, when you see the old guy, when you see the grandpa or something come in, people are like, ‘Oh, man, that’s the strongest character in the whole thing.’ Because in anime, the older you get, your power level doesn’t go down. The older you get, the stronger you get. Kind of like in wrestling. When Ric Flair comes back now and gives you a chop, it’s different than back in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Now, he gives you one, it’s going to go crazy. Wrestling’s kind of that way too. The Dragongate style is so similar because it’s so action-packed, and if you really watching the match, the story they tell within the match is so good. By the end of it, you’re so invested, you just jump out your seat. But it’s the stuff they do in between, it’s so amazing to watch," Ricochet said.
