I want to mention Ricochet in particular for one moment. When he did the whole Vader-rage inducing bit with Ospreay, it was exciting because it was new and he hadn't done it with many people.
When he did it with Cesaro, you could buy it because Cesaro is this freakish combination of brute strength and insane athleticism.
Doing it with Ivar (? the bigger guy from the Viking Raiders) kind of made him look bad because this much larger man was keeping up with him and being as athletic as he was.
If he was smart, he would have done that spot with variations where he just overwhelms his opponents on their toes because he was so much faster and athletic than they are. Then again, if he was smart, he'd learn how to throw a dropkick that doesn't look shitty and non impactful. I'm not talking Minoru Suzuki attempting to murder the guy coming off the ropes dropkick, but one that looks like a strike and not him gently shoving a guy with his feet.
