Normally during these wrestler interviews, the wrestlers mark out for themselves too much; but In Stevie's case, I think he is a bit too hard on himself. BWO and RTC were entertaining as hell and Stevie's run with Victoria along with the Stevie Night Heat segments really show what Stevie was capable of if given the chance.
The fact that Stevie isn’t a coach at the PC, or a Producer in WWE, AEW, TNA, AAA, or NJPW is an absolute sin. Dude is a wealth of knowledge. As someone who also doesn’t have enough self-esteem and always seems to down himself, I gotta tell you Stevie that you are a freaking gem. You’re a legend & you deserve to be getting paid!
The more I watch these videos, the more I like Stevie's views and opinions. He speaks from experience and isn't BS'ng the viewers to make a quick buck.
For anyone who doesn't know what business in Georgia he's referring to, in 2015/16 Stevie was working for Diamond Dallas Page as a fitness instructor for DDP Yoga. Stevie was teaching there for a while, but abruptly stopped some time in 2017. He was also working in Ring of Honor during 2015/16 as well. There was never any explanation into what exactly happened. Maybe Stevie would go into it one day, but it would be understandable if he didn't. Because there are some people who will never accept hearing a bad word about DDP because of how he helped Jake Roberts, Scott Hall, Buff Bagwell, etc. And Stevie has pretty much hit the nail on the head when in a shoot interview he's said that when it comes to wrestlers, the higher up on the card someone is and the bigger the star they are, that determines their status and worth as a human being in the minds of fans. However there's an Instagram post from Stevie's account in 2017, where he shares a tweet from the MMA fighter Colby Covington publicly calling out DDP and saying that he trusts acts of kindness more when the person doing it doesn't call over a camera crew to film it. And even telling Page to be more like Stevie Richards. Stevie also puts over Covington for being 100% real and admiring him for it.
Yeah, everyone seems to dust DDP's ego under the rug. There's a reason he had legit heat with almost EVERYONE in WcW from 98 on. DDP accomplished something nobody else ever has and I respect the hell put of him, but I'm sure he's a top tier asshole to work with and for.
Stevie is 100%, without a doubt, one of the most solid, sweet, humble, hard-working, genuinely best people you will ever meet in every single way. Just an excellent human being.
Stevie was too nice of a guy to be a top superstar in the wrestling business. But I found entertaining everything he did. There should always be spots in wrestling for a talent that can be given anything and they make it work.
That same thing could be said about any business. The nice guys get walked over in the business world. He was good at what he does, but he was there to "enhance" the product. He never had the charisma or look to ever be "the guy." And you don't have to be in order to have a long career in wrestling.
I don't think a ball has ever been fumbled harder than in how WWE or any other promotion has not utilized Stevie to coach and support the next generation of talent.
@@jayvionwilliams4061 I never said they were hurting financially as a result. You came to that conclusion yourself. But his talent and passion would have been a great asset and many wrestlers would have been better for it. It is unrealized benefit.
Yeah, I agree that Stevie is far too self deprecating. I remember growing up they'd job him out a lot, but there was a short period in the new ECW where they were giving him longer matches and I was really into what he's doing. Stevie knows what he's talking about and has tons to contribute. He's quickly become my top 3 favorite wrestling podcasters.
I think the problem was that he got over as a comedy guy in ECW, but it's really hard to translate that to another audience. It's sort of like Mikey Whipwreck, he got really over with the fans in ECW, but once he went to WCW he was just another job guy for saturday night.
the one thing i love most about these podcasts with Stevie is his brutal honesty and humility, he may never have gotten his just due in the business but i hope and think he’s gonna be very successful with this show! deservedly so!
I’m really glad to see Stevie getting his flowers after all these years. Stevie is one of the most underrated and under appreciated talents we’ve ever had the privilege to see wrestle. I grew up watching the tail end of the Attitude Era and the majority of the Ruthless Aggression Era. I’m most familiar with Stevie’s work from those times. Even with Vince and WWE’s tendency to try to kill Stevie with losses and gimmicks, the fans just couldn’t help but love the guy. Even then, Stevie’s personality and charisma shined through. And on the other hand, The Right to Censor was such a fantastic heel group and Stevie made that gimmick shine. You just had to hate him. Thanks for being here and doing this for us, Stevie and James. This show is one of the best wrestling shows on UA-cam right now, it’s just natural and real and so well produced.
I absolutely agree with James here, Stevie is far too self-deprecating! he has such a fantastic mind for the business and always came across as a star even if the higher ups didn’t see it. I grew up watching wrestling from 97 until this day and I’ve seen Steve and many promotions always excelling whatever he’s up to. When the Stevie Richards channel started and he was showing how things went wrong or how things could’ve been improved, I absolutely loved it and I’m so glad that James is on board now as you both come across as two of the most interested, interesting & genuine people to do this interviewing/exposé type scenario online! Keep it up guys, I love both of your work and I watch/listen to everything I have time to fit into my days! ✌🏼🙏🏼
I had the RTC Stevie Richards action figure as a kid. I was hella entertained by you, Stevie. Main eventer or not, you were one of my favorite wrestlers. Stay awesome, my friend.
Stevie is the type of person that the wrestling business deserves but you never see. With the cut throat nature of the business it’s hard to be successful but Stevie did great. I was a WAY low level jobber the NE INDIES in the early 90’s & was around Stevie. What you see here is who he is. He had a tremendous influence on me when I was around him and wasn’t afraid to tell me I sucked and what the things I did good. He a great man. Honest.
I respect Stevie a lot for having self awareness but it saddens me to hear how much he beats himself up or just so hard on himself in general. I am the same way so I guess I know how it feels. Stevie was a huge part of my childhood and everything he did left a mark in my book. And now at 34 I love hearing him talk because he seems extremely genuine and honest. Keep it up Stevie! 👍💪
Yeah Vince beat ppl into powder needlessly when they could've been used as gatekeepers to certain spots on the card. Stevie could've been a guy that could be a main event gatekeeper if he was built and maintained correctly.
STEVIE WOULD BE A GREAT MANAGER. Good promo, can still move, shouldnt be taking often bumps but can give them out with good technique. I really think good managers are missing other than heyman in WWE today.
I think Stevie Richards would be a great coach down at the performance center for NXT. He would be able to share his knowledge of professional wrestling and not have to take any bumps and he would not have to worry about having to hold onto his "spot" because he would not be on TV. The problem with that is Shawn Michaels.
I hadn't thought about it, but Stevie is 100% right. Guys like Cornette and Maven propelled their personal brand because of their online presence, and people have been begging for WWE to get them back.
the word you were looking for was "sentimental", I love ya Stevie! You should be a fucking psych trainer for talent, you seem to have a great understanding of wrestling psychology
Again, the JBL/Meanie/Richards saga is something that you could never explain to somebody who does not know pro wrestling. Not only that, how the story turned out is pretty heartwarming and inspirational. JBL does not have the best reputation in the world but I mean...even bad guys can turn it around.
@@ryankeefe2102 I can understand that. I remember him before the APA but I was really young and he felt like a glorified jobber. The APA is when I appreciated his work. After that, he annoyed me.
Bro I want to step into the wrestling business. I don’t care if I don’t go to aew or wwe. Stevie I’d definitely go to your school because I love the wrestling business. You can’t always go to people just because they have connections
It’s so sad to see just how little Stevie Richards was appreciated in the business, at least from his perspective. Just because he wasn’t a hard partying, loudmouth meathead, they think he has no value. Goes to show you, at the end of the day, macho environments like professional sports and the wrestling business are just high schools for grownups. Steve, if you’re reading this, they are the ones who lost out, not you.
I remember I was passing the parking garage of the hammerstein ballroom in NY after a wwe/ecw event. You was pulling out in a grey hooptie and you let me cross. I said to myself damn Stevie drives that? I was young and did not realize how wrestlers get paid. Anyhow keep up the great content loving the channel.
Why isn’t Stevie being hired as a producer at least? He and Raven should be two of the most respected minds in the BUSINESS but it seems like only the fans of the product understand what they could bring to each brand
Always liked Stevie, not mainly because of his work as a wrestler but he just comes across as a very likeable, level-headed, positive person, which unfortunately is rare to find nowadays. He's like the best mate everyone needs and seems like a dude who you could easily talk to about anything over a beer.
Stevie Richard’s in my opinion is one of the greatest and entertaining wrestlers of all time. He was never given a chance probably one of the saddest stories in wrestling.
Think about this for a moment if they offered Stevie 100,000 a year at least he’s in the six figures at that point versus 75,000 a year…. At the time Vince McMahon could’ve been taking that extra 25,000 a year that he wouldn’t offered Stevie and pocketed for other things and we know what those things are. That was just play $$$
I respect them for their "no games" attitude even if it gets them heat. Real people still respect them both. In fairness Jim might get a little extra No Games at times...
You know Steve, I've been a wrestling fan for years, but I really didn't know much of you, but I love listening to pro wrestling analysis, I love pro wrestling, you have the most insight in the pro wrestling x's and o's as a professional wrestler. You should have a developmental territory/wrestling school, keep up the show
JBL has no shame in his game. That why I respect JBL. Plus Prime JBL was a Wrestling God hands down. His battles with The Undertaker and John Cena was some of his Best stuff..
I think people give JBL a bad rap. Yeah, he hazed guys in wrestling. He didn't have ill-will for Meanie, otherwise he wouldn't have ever tried to get them to bring Meanie back in. What JBL does is hazing. Literally every single sport does this and guys get hazed pretty bad sometimes until they're "in." Look at the people JBL when he first came in to the business. You know they hazed him really badly. It's people who are snowflakes and have never participated in sports that call it "bullying."
@@jd9119tying someone up and threatening to r#pe them while rubbing soap on their butt is not some regular bullying (which is weird in itself) that's a whole different thing. If he did that anywhere else he would be in jail If you defend that you are not built for regular society . JBL got lucky that Vince is a weirdo that would excuse that JBL is a closet homosexual that has never got over it and a fake tough guy that can't fight
It's weird, but listening to you right now, I actually completely disagree. I think with the right booking, the right matchups etc, I think you could definitely be a needle mover Stevie. You have so much to give, and you could really help a lot of these wrestlers moving up in the system. I don't know, I just feel like you still got something that could definitely be a game-changer. Would love to see you go with the likes of Chad Gable.
I don’t understand why Stevie is considered a pariah in the wrestling business, he seems like such a cool down to Earth guy. I would think he would be a good agent or announcer or something if he can’t wrestle.
You were always memorable to me, Stevie! I think when you are a humble individual, you are your own worst critic. I battle with this myself. Nobody can ever be harder on me than me! Sounds like you battle with that too, Stevie.
he should’ve been a trainer or something. stevie has that thing to him, he’s very knowledgable. i don’t think he wants to be at the “top” he just wants to be appreciated, i understand him.
You probably ain't going to remember but I met you one time I'll show you did in back of a flea market in Quakertown Pennsylvania you are the nicest wrestler that answered all my questions and even took a picture with me
I think WWE owes Stevie a fat cheque through a rumble appearance. It's really the least they can do, plus they can benefit by keeping him in the loop through coaching etc
Would you ever work as a trainer at the performance center if they offered? I think you have so much insight in the business and anyone would be lucky to be trained under you.
You're not taking into account expenses that go with just the upkeep of being professional wrestler. 75 grand isn't much. Wrestlers in general don't make much compared to athletes in general.
In 2010 i trained with Killer Tim Brooks for over a year. It was pretty shit training. Just us showing up at his house & training in his barn by taking bumps & messing around with each other. Killer had like 5 people max that he was training & it was only once a week. But he'd run monthly shows out of his barn where anywhere from 75 to 150 people would show up. Which may not sound like much, but they were packed shows sometimes. 20$ a head as well. Then he had a concessions stand that did remarkably well & photo shoots for kids. I never saw a dime for those photo shoots i did. So he was making a killing on those shows. Especially when you consider he used his trainees & local talent. Most notable person i ever knew from there was Li Fang. Who spent a cup of coffee in FCW but ended up stopping because he wanted to be with his family more. Point is, a wrestling school can be profitable but you own the ring, land, arena & use trainees for your local shows 😆 RIP killer.
Stevie I don't know if you'll ever see this I've been a fan since ECW I live in Allentown why aren't you talking to Tony Khan if you want to train and be a leader for young wrestlers? That's exactly what he wants. Also he seems to give a lot of people that second chance like Jake the Snake Roberts
Maybe WWE wanted to sell your shirts Blue World Order. Or an ECW Documentary. Or something like action figures or be in the WWE Video game. Something. 😀
Normally during these wrestler interviews, the wrestlers mark out for themselves too much; but In Stevie's case, I think he is a bit too hard on himself. BWO and RTC were entertaining as hell and Stevie's run with Victoria along with the Stevie Night Heat segments really show what Stevie was capable of if given the chance.
Exactly! He was pigeonholed into being a jobber for some odd reason but he had the charisma, the promo skills, the moves and the look
Stevie is a gem, he really is selling himself short
Agreed 100%! He needs to mark out for himself, lol..
Rtc is one of my favorite groups .
Cuz he’s a jobber
The fact that Stevie isn’t a coach at the PC, or a Producer in WWE, AEW, TNA, AAA, or NJPW is an absolute sin. Dude is a wealth of knowledge. As someone who also doesn’t have enough self-esteem and always seems to down himself, I gotta tell you Stevie that you are a freaking gem. You’re a legend & you deserve to be getting paid!
Stevie had one of the most underrated super kicks in the history of the buisness
what else?
@@themondoshow another underrated finisher called the Stevie-T, good comic timing, creativity, good work ethic?
Lance Storm probably has the most underrated super kick, holds up to some of Shawn’s best
Ya and one of the most overrated minds in the business…
@@CONCERNEDcitizenforever yet here you are watching his content 😂 only a moron would watch someone they don't enjoy.

It goes to show there can be a big discrepancy between having value and being valued
Stevie should 100% be teaching at the performance center.
Stevie and Glenn Jacobs(Kane) probably the two kindest and sharpest people in the business, really sweet to hear they’re close too
Stevie easily could have been a mid card champion in WWE. Would have loved to see him get a few IC title runs.
A 2024 reboot of the right to censor featuring Steven Richards as the mouthpiece I think would be dope
That would sooo work down in NXT
Especially in today's political environment with all the online censorship. It would dovetail perfectly into 2024.
every reboot is always worse thn the original , just like the matrix 2, 3 ... leave a masterpiece as it is
@@middleclassthrashtrue
I would say….wait until they get on Netflix. Man that would be great.
Stevie in the rumble NOW would have a major pop compared to in 2016
Absolutely. We've seen podcasts lead to appearances so hopefully 🤞
I don't think a ball has ever been fumbled harder than in how WWE or any other promotion has not utilized Stevie to coach and support the next generation of talent.
Al Snow aswell (he was for a while but i think he should be there right now)
How so when wwe is nearly worth 10 billion dollars u really think there stressed over losing stevie richards
Considering they continue to make insane money, I doubt it’s as big a fumble as you’re making it out to be
The big fumble is probably AEW not paying him to come in and tell the young wrestlers how to safely bump.

Would love to see you go with the likes of Chad Gable.
I don’t understand why Stevie is considered a pariah in the wrestling business, he seems like such a cool down to Earth guy. I would think he would be a good agent or announcer or something if he can’t wrestle.
Because he doesn't kiss ass like Taker or Maven
You were always memorable to me, Stevie! I think when you are a humble individual, you are your own worst critic. I battle with this myself. Nobody can ever be harder on me than me! Sounds like you battle with that too, Stevie.
I'm loving listening to Stevie
I don’t comment on many videos but man Stevie seems like such a great guy
I find these really hard to listen to. Hope Stevie does well in the future.
Young wrestlers should listen hard to what's being said by thus guy
Stevie is an odd ball in wrestling because he is a good person just my opinion
he should’ve been a trainer or something. stevie has that thing to him, he’s very knowledgable. i don’t think he wants to be at the “top” he just wants to be appreciated, i understand him.
Vinny be wantin' to party and you got to say NO! 🤣
You probably ain't going to remember but I met you one time I'll show you did in back of a flea market in Quakertown Pennsylvania you are the nicest wrestler that answered all my questions and even took a picture with me
I think WWE owes Stevie a fat cheque through a rumble appearance. It's really the least they can do, plus they can benefit by keeping him in the loop through coaching etc
100 hours a week smh... Bros a work horse
Stevie and Maven, RR 2025
How did you develop the psychology behind your various characters? Notably RTC.
Would you ever work as a trainer at the performance center if they offered? I think you have so much insight in the business and anyone would be lucky to be trained under you.
Nothing wrong with a Philly accent my Philadelphian brotha and Port Richmond Homie!
There's no better time to go back than right now, Stevie. Hunter is the boss, not Vince.
Yeaa but he’s not the biggest fan of Shawn and Hunter look at his recent videos.
Stop being a fanboy
You and Melvin need to collaborate.
Love this show!!
"Hey you kids, get off my lawn!"
Stop complaining about 75 grand saying making 75 grand is nothing. You know how many people would love to be able to make anywhere near that
You're not taking into account expenses that go with just the upkeep of being professional wrestler. 75 grand isn't much. Wrestlers in general don't make much compared to athletes in general.
Can we get Stevie and Glenn on an episode?
Stevie is likeable minus the Right to Censor thing that was horrible.
😆
In 2010 i trained with Killer Tim Brooks for over a year. It was pretty shit training. Just us showing up at his house & training in his barn by taking bumps & messing around with each other. Killer had like 5 people max that he was training & it was only once a week. But he'd run monthly shows out of his barn where anywhere from 75 to 150 people would show up. Which may not sound like much, but they were packed shows sometimes. 20$ a head as well. Then he had a concessions stand that did remarkably well & photo shoots for kids. I never saw a dime for those photo shoots i did. So he was making a killing on those shows. Especially when you consider he used his trainees & local talent. Most notable person i ever knew from there was Li Fang. Who spent a cup of coffee in FCW but ended up stopping because he wanted to be with his family more.
Point is, a wrestling school can be profitable but you own the ring, land, arena & use trainees for your local shows 😆
RIP killer.
You should have gone back to the WWE Stevie and used Ravens finisher and called it the StevenFlow DDT.
That fact you’re cool with Glenn tell me all I need to know about you
What ddp wasn't paying him much? so that's why he left ddpy.
Stevie got the shaft in the WWF and WCW. Such a shame.
Stevie I don't know if you'll ever see this I've been a fan since ECW I live in Allentown why aren't you talking to Tony Khan if you want to train and be a leader for young wrestlers?
That's exactly what he wants. Also he seems to give a lot of people that second chance like Jake the Snake Roberts
I don’t understand how anyone could dislike Stevie.
Maybe WWE wanted to sell your shirts Blue World Order. Or an ECW Documentary. Or something like action figures or be in the WWE Video game. Something. 😀
stevies good in my book
There were good matches in 2016. Everything else was the shits
