Biography
Trevor Mann, performing as Ricochet, built a global reputation not in the traditional wrestling heartlands, but through breathtaking performances in Japan and the independent circuit. His style is a kinetic art form, blending parkour, lucha libre, and an almost supernatural body control that makes the impossible seem routine. This arsenal earned him the nickname 'The One and Only' and made him a standout wherever he competed. His success in WWE, where he won the United States and Intercontinental Championships, proved his appeal could translate to the biggest stage. Now in AEW, he continues to push the envelope, his matches less about stories and more about experiencing athletic spectacle, captivating audiences who watch in anticipation of the next move no one has seen before.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Ricochet was born in 1988, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
