We always put on wrestling in the office and when Ricochet's music hits, we drop everything to sit back and watch. As a result, when we first started the 'With Authority' podcast, we had WWE Superstar Ricochet featured prominently on our list of dream guests.So with WWE Raw coming to Chase Center on October 11, we reached out and insisted to speak with the future of flight -- our absolute favorite wrestler.  We had a crazy schedule that week and Larry wasn't able to make it, so Casey and Ricochet went one on one instead. They covered everything from how young Trevor Mann became Ricochet, what he was thinking as he attempted a double moonsault off a cage, and touched on the upcoming WWE Draft.
