WWE's Ricky Saints Pinpoints Aspect Of Pro Wrestling That He Doesn't Excel At
WWE star and former NXT Champion Ricky Saints is a smooth operator when it comes to both his talking skills and in-ring abilities. Despite all the flawless attributes he has to offer, the "WWE SmackDown" standout has one blemish that he wishes he was better at.
"Believe it or not, I'm not that good at a lot of, like, jumping off the top rope," Saints revealed during his interview on "HUGE POP!" "I get up there, and I'm very unathletic in my head...The way that I think I'm jumping, and then reality of it, is just two different things."
Since joining the blue brand, Saints refuses to wait in the back of the line for his big time moments. Right from the start, Saints' first main roster match on May 1 was against then former Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes in a non-title contest. Though he came out of it with a loss, Saints kept going, issuing challenges for the Men's United States Championship twice (his last televised match for it occurred at Night of Champions this past June) and recently for the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship, though he didn't secure the title win over Rey Fenix. Nevertheless, Saints has had a masterful breakout year on the main roster.
