AEW star Ricochet was recently reprimanded by a WWE veteran, who also targetted Tony Khan. According to the veteran in question, Vince Russo, both of them are at fault for their tendencies regarding social media.
Ricochet is often seen interacting with fans on social media, as well as clapping back against people who argue with him. For instance, he recently responded to a fan by insinuating that Vince McMahon also had significant financial support from his father, making him similar to Tony Khan. This tendency, according to Vince Russo, is also very apparent in Tony Khan who also engages in social media verbal battles at times.
Speaking on Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated:
"They all do it bro, he is not the only one that does it. Tony Khan does it."

The WWE veteran did not agree with Ricochet's social media comments
Regarding Ricochet's claims about Vince McMahon getting financial backing from his father during the early days of WWE, Vince Russo said that the AEW star was sorely mistaken.
Speaking on the same episode of Writing with Russo, the veteran talked about how Vince McMahon took a huge risk with WrestleMania 1. He explained how it was a make-or-break moment for the promotion.
"Vince mortgaged everything he had and put everything on the line. Vince didn't have that money man... Vince would have been finished, if WrestleMania 1 was not a success, Vince was done. So Ricochet really needs to learn his history because Vince did not get his money from his father man."
Ricochet is currently signed to AEW. It remains to be seen what he plans to do next in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
