    Stevie is an unsung hero in the world of wrestling. I’m sorry for not appreciating him as a talent when he was active but I can’t express how glad I am that he not only survived the business but also seems to have no ill will towards it either.
    Thanks to Big Stevie, James and Rene as always, for letting me in a little bit to enjoy a lovely conversation between friends.

      I agree! For me personally, I felt he really hit his peak/high spot in WWE. That was top level heel work and Richards deserved more recognition for it.
      That group really made people talk about Censorship for years to come! Will never forget it.
      Whether it was funny roles in bWo, or more of a serious heel role in RTC, Stevie was no doubt, very talented.

    Stevie is the wrestler I grew up watching that I’d most like to sit and talk with. He seems to share a lot of outlooks with myself, and is very clearly a stand up guy. I’ve always heard the rumbles of the different “tests” that occurred backstage amongst talent in WWE. In all of wrestling really. But it’s always put a sour taste in my mouth and had sounded ridiculously immature. I was happy to hear Stevie also thinks it’s a bit silly and shouldn’t be something that’s occurring. Especially not at that frequency. He didn’t have to stand up for others, but he did. Definitely gonna check out that CZcams channel and fitness program. Thanks for a great show fellas. 🙏

    Steve is a great interview, ive asked him so many wrestling questions on youtube and hes never answered lol so this is gonna be a full sit down watch for me. He really should have held the IC title during right to censor. Would have made the stable more credible along with having the goodfather and bull as tag champs. They dropped the ball so hard with Stevie, at least let him get the win back on Masters who basically broke his face, that was a let down. Losing interest in that product isnt hard.

    Stevie was always hardcore hbk to me. I loved the story with I believe raven as his underling and winning the belt I think in ecw. That story could have been bigger, or it was and I was just a bit to young to remember more than the angle. I think in WWE he could been a smart ass with a heavy lk hbk diesel thing just more hardcore focus and made that title super legit at the time. But he looks great and he definitely did some great stuff. The Sunday night heat thing is classic. I'd gave him a raise and it's scary that Steph and the rest were oblivious to it which sounds about right.. confirms how bright certain people are. Lol.

    @theomega311 Před 2 lety

    Every single time I see Stevie Richards I think about how much better WWECW could have really been. Just think about it…
    After the way Sabu vs Rey ended you could easily have brought in Don Callis to represent “the network” (ECW on TNN throwback of course)
    Now imagine how much heat you could have gotten when Right To Censor stopped Kelly Kelly from stripping. Imagine how much better “the new breed” could have been IF you put Marcus Cor Von and Elijah Burke in suit and ties.
    I always said if it was me running that show that’s how I would have played it. Keep Paul a face for ECW but have this network and censorship entity fucking with him time and time and time again, makes perfect sense for how RVD lost the ECW title again, you could have Kevin Thorn, Ariel, and Gangrel as part of the New Brood like was originally planned, then you have RTC trying to bastardize the ECW product, on top of that you can get good heat for bringing in established WWE guys to face off with Big Show. So many good avenues we could have seen.
    Probably could have added Super Crazy to that group instead of jobbing on SmackDown, you could have brought back three way dances, and you could have kept the originals strong(er) for the future of the brand. Alas that’s not what we got and there is no way to turn back time now.
    Still holding out hope that Rene can talk Pro Wrestling Noah into doing an American run, there was a time when Go Shiozaki vs Tyler Black was a hot ticket in Florida for Full Impact Pro, can’t help but feel like there are enough stars Western fans know to make that work. Especially if you can get a guy like Eddie Edwards to be a part of said show again.
