Ricochet is still speaking out about online criticism, and this time he’s drawing a clear line between what he thinks is fair feedback and what he calls straight-up trash talking.
The AEW star has remained in the spotlight after backlash tied to his controversial MS tweet, and the conversation about criticism came up again while he spoke with Adrian Hernandez on the Unlikely podcast. During the discussion, Ricochet said people often confuse real criticism with simply tearing companies down.
He explained that he believes many people claim they are offering criticism, but in reality, they are just attacking companies or spreading negativity. Ricochet made it clear that he thinks there’s a big difference between honest feedback and comments meant to stir reactions.
“And then whenever someone's like, ‘No, that's not really true.’ And then someone's like, ‘Oh, what? You can't take criticism?’ It's like, ‘We're in 2026. Everybody's taking criticisms.’ It's like, but when you are literally just taking a moment to trash and dog whatever company that you're talking about, it's like, it's not a criticism. That's just now you're just trash talking and speaking your opinion. Like two different things.”
His comments come at a time when his own social media activity has been under heavy attention, making his views on criticism especially relevant. While some fans agree that negativity dominates online conversations, others believe criticism comes with the territory when public figures make controversial statements. Ricochet’s stance shows that he’s not backing away from speaking his mind about online culture, even after dealing with major backlash for some time now.
Do you think Ricochet is right about the difference between criticism and trash talking, or should public figures expect stronger reactions when controversy hits? Let us know your thoughts and leave your feedback.
