While participating in a recent episode of “The Wrestling Classic” podcast, AEW wrestling star Ricochet made some insightful comments regarding his partner, Samantha Irvin. He expressed his skepticism towards the idea of Samantha pursuing a career either in professional wrestling or in the capacity of a ring announcer.
The following are some key takeaways from the podcast:
When asked about Samantha Irvin possibly taking up a guest slot as a ring announcer for one of his matches, Ricochet said, “Probably not, I would say no. The idea doesn’t appeal to me nor does she have any interest in being a ring announcer. Whether it be for UFC, NFL, boxing, or basketball, she has no inclination to announce player’s names. That’s not a responsibility she wishes to undertake,” indicating Samantha’s disinterest in following this career path.
Speaking about the possibility of Samantha being a part of a story or playing a character, Ricochet imparted, “She has a keen interest in participating as a character or being a part of an actual storyline. She has a desire to make the audience feel a spectrum of emotions and take them on a roller coaster ride. However, merely announcing someone’s weight and home city and instructing them to enter, that’s not something she wants to do anymore.”
During the podcast, a video titled “Ricochet on AEW, Will Ospreay, Samantha Irvin, Dream Matches, Social Media & More” was also shared which provides further insight into the discussion.
