Rikochet, voiced by Carlos Alazraqui in seasons 1–2 and Jason Marsden in season 3, is a 10-year-old wrestler and the protagonist who considers himself the bravest but sometimes acts without thinking. His signature move is the Pulverizing Pinball. Buena Girl, voiced by Kimberly Brooks, is a smart 9-year-old female wrestler who follows the rules strictly and can be arrogant; her move is the Buena Bulldozer of Truth. The Flea, voiced by Candi Milo, is an 8-year-old friend who is always dirty, speaks in third person, has disgusting habits, and is nervous but often helpful.
