Accordings to all the morons today, everybody and everything is underrated and everybody and everything deserved to be World Champion. People got no standards anymore. Stevie Richards was a dime a dozen midcarder, like hundreds and hundreds of wrestlers with the same barely developed body, mediocre mic abilities, lack of charisma and same standard cruiserweight move set. And that's why they remain midcarders for life.
Had a great experience meeting Stevie back in 1997. Good dude and he made sure to put time aside for all the fans as soon as he arrived and before the show even started. Was a random "variety show" full of stars from past and present at a minor league baseball field in Lake Elsinore, CA and he wrestled a heel Steven Regal. I will never forget it. I am glad he is doing better. I always enjoyed his contributions to the business. And as he was saying... aside from the unfortunate infection, they put their bodies on the line and it can really catch up to them later in life, as he mentioned. There is nothing fake about that...
This brought a tear to my eye. I know you may not see this, but Stevie man, you made my 90s so epic, and I've always been a fan. I was happy to see you in WWE but only because I couldn't see you in ECW anymore, and if it wasn't for you I might have been so-so with RTC, but because of you I loved it. My buddies and I used to talk about how you could've been the next Shawn Michaels, and honestly I've always been a little upset that you weren't ever used more. I'm so glad to hear you're doing better. Much love.
So glad Stevie is feeling better and getting better every day. He was one of my favorite wrestlers from ecw,I loved the bwo,and I even liked the right to censor. He always entertained me. Keep getting better. Awesome clips and interviews,keep up the great work with your channel!
That's so brutal man, glad to see you recovering. I was bed ridden at age 16, dropped out of HS and got diagnosed with Schumanns Kyohosis. It's a degenerative spinal disorder that breaks down vertebre. I have about 9 herniations.herniation. I did go on to get my GED and a certification in Business Administration. There's no recovery, no cure so I've always felt like a guinipig.
Stevie Richards is a Great Wrestler I have been subbed to his channel for years. He's a gamer an has helped a lot of people RESPECT to a Legend of Wrestling ❤❤🙏
Stevie seems like such a down to earth person with tons of knowledge, not only about pro wrestling, but fitness, and life in general. I’m glad things have improved for him.
Big love to Stevie, great guy, I saw a lot of footage of him in a really bad way, so it's positive to see him on the mend and what a bloke to even smile and chuckle about it all, a real testament to the man he is 👍👍, a tough cookie, legend Stevie, 🇬🇧🇬🇧 from Torquay England
Richards should of been a genuine WWF WrestleMania main eventing star. The problem was 2 fold, HBK wasn't done yet. Y2J was being hyped as the next HBK. Richards was literally the next coming of HBK. Phenomenal talent. And a nice person.
What a genuinely nice man. I was never a huge fan of stevie richards the wrestler ( dont get me wrong, he was one of the most gifted i have ever seen), i just never got in to his characters. But i think he is a true breath of fresh air.
His symptoms kinda sound like the same thing I'm currently going through. Walked to the store yesterday and my legs gave out on me after lower back shooting pain.
The most undervalued wrestler ever in all three of the Majors (ECW,WCW,WWE). He took everything they handed him and made it gold. Loyal to a fault, he should have had a run with the WWE World Title because he could have done it as a face or heel seamlessly. I catch a lot of flack but I always include him in my top 5 because I knew when I saw him on screen I would get a dedicated wrestler in a wonderful match or skit.
How much he was on fire with Right to Censor when it first started. I was like it was his time to finally get that belt. Just imagine what he could have done with the title with right to censor. It would have been worth it in my opinion.
@@fingersTitan I always thought the "Good Father" gimmick was silly. I wanted Al Snow in there saying "What does everybody want.... Intelligence" and replace the original head with a mannequin head with the lobes mapped out. He and Bull would have been epic as a tag team.
I've had to many surgeries and isometric exercises is basically all I do just had total knee replacement and a month out walking normal just keeping limber stretching most importantly think James all problems stem from bending the knee while elevating after surgery very important to keep that joint straight when not in use while rehabilitation
Stevie's situation reminds me of Bret Harts. Both had looks that were age defying. Both struck ill and now Father Time is putting back the age he withheld plus compound interest.
Thats crazy he mentioned the dog bite thing as I just last week got scratched and bit by a cat and my whole hand swole up like a softball and the infection spread up my arm by the next day ! Its cool now , but yeah I totally can see how that may have caused Stevie's infection . Because infections like that can also attack other weak points in your body . So my Dr. said anyways .
Man. Sketchy. I havent been to a doctor appointment my entire adult life. I'm 36. Hospital a few times. Emergency room. But my health and overall energy and feeling has been bad. I have no energy normally. Stomach pains. Nauseous. No sleep. Pain in general. I'm stay at home dad of 4 and 6 year olds who I struggle to keep up with. My dad died at 40. Mother is a waste and has bad heart. This video is almost like a sign because it's to much of a coincidence to be just serendipity. Because it's been on my mind lately.....
If it's in your family get checked. Wish I had. The heart attack I had at only 34 I wouldn't have had. Get checked out mate. A simple scan would have shown my blocked artery.
You fucking retard you are 40. You sound like you are dying. It’s not gonna get better by pretending it’s not happening. So many men pretend they aren’t sick and turn a manageable illness into a coffin or a wheelchair for life. Go find out what’s wrong before you don’t wake up one morning and your kids find your body you idiot.
Damn Stevie ! That sucks . Wrestling is a beast on the body . Thats why I cant stand people calling it fake . Even though WWE has made things look as if it is for so long to casual viewers that dont watch it but just flipping channels or something give immediate eye rolls . But real fans know . I wrestled a few years and I damn sure know ! I dont see how guys wrestling every night for 20 years can even walk . Nothing but respect from me !!
Great interview and Stevie seems real nice guy. Damn, we all know wrestlers are a different breed when it comes to pain. But little things we don’t think of like ring mat burns must happen all the time and they are nothing to wrestlers. But a carpet burn stings like fuck to us mere mortals,
Infections are so serious. My mom's friend got one while she was recovering from cancer treatment and the infection took her out. Another guy I know, a bishop, as he retired he fell ill with an infection and over a year later he still walks with a cane.
I had a brain infection was in a coma for 3 1/2 weeks. When I come round I had the spinel tap on my spine to see If the infection was in there. When they did that it's the worst pain!
Stevie richards family has a tee shirt buisness in my neighborhood when me and my friends were younger we discovered a wrestling ring behind the tee shirt store . We definitely had to bne to wrestle . It was like an amazing discovery for a 12 yr old group of kids lol
I used to always think Stevie Richards was Shawn Michaels brother. WWE could have made a storyline of these 2 as brothers/rivals similar to Kane/Undertaker.
Christ this is worrying me now, I have had lower back pain for a few months now, numbness in my left arm too. I keep saying I am going to see a doctor but something else comes up or I end up getting called into work.

Pretty cool!
What a great guy, awesome dude

Always was a Richards fan! Totally underrated in spite of being hell of a hand in the ring and solid on the mic. Glad to see him on the mend!
If you have mid carders like Richards and Al Snow.. Your company is in a good place.
Rtc was so annoying lol. He was money
Accordings to all the morons today, everybody and everything is underrated and everybody and everything deserved to be World Champion. People got no standards anymore.

what about him in rtc? total heel
Big Stevie Richards fan, super glad he's doing better.

I enjoy listening to Stevie. Good voice, well spoken and really down to earth. Hope your feeling better

Ugh, that sounds very unpleasant. Glad you seem to be making the best of it
one of the legit good guys in wrestling. an all around beautiful human. glad to see him getting better. much love and prayers to ya stevie.
Stevie looks great. I wish him the best of luck on his health.
Stevie is such a nice and humble man. Love his interviews
I met him at the old WWF new york in 2000, I was just a young teenager and he was the nicest dude. Big Stevie Super cool
So glad Stevie Richard doing much better🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
God I have always loved Stevies voice, he was one of my favourite workers with BWO, Ravens Flock and Right to Sensor
Stevie Richards is a Great Wrestler I have been subbed to his channel for years. He's a gamer an has helped a lot of people RESPECT to a Legend of Wrestling ❤❤🙏
The classic Stevie Richards and I wish you well my dude.
So glad to see Stevie doing well, one of my favourites, gave me hours of wonderful entertainment ☺
I've always been a Stevie Richards fan from day one and a slight crush on him.
So glad to see he's recovering & doing better.
Looking good. Glad he’s getting better. Comes across as a good guy.
Spine infection is no joke. I am 1.5 years out from one and just now getting back into some physical rehab.
Always loved Richard's since first seeing him in RTC as a kid and loved his work in TNA. A massively under rated talent.
Seems like a great dude. Glad he's gonna be ok.
I'm looking forward to these series of clips.
A great talent to get on the show.
Glad he's well on the road to being better.
Stevie seems like such a down to earth person with tons of knowledge, not only about pro wrestling, but fitness, and life in general. I’m glad things have improved for him.
Love hearing Stevie talk. Youre the man Stevie!! 💙🌎 🚫
You can't get classier than good 'ol Stevie.

Glad you're doing good big man. You are an inspiration to us all. God bless (and screw youtube for not liking the words god bless)
man, the fact he can laugh and make jokes after such a thing happening to him is impressive
I met Big Stevie Cool at an ECW show in the mid 90's and a few signings. Cool guy in and out of the ring. Get better Stevie!
Richards had many great matches with many great wrestlers. He put over so many guys in a fantastic manner.
Whatever success or happiness Stevie gets, he deserves. Just seems like a great human
So glad your doing better Big Stevie Cool. I still lift and do DDPY since 2016. So glad I was born into work ethic and professional wrestling.
Whoa. Had no idea Stevie had severe medical issues. Glad he’s doing ok now.
he sure dont look ok
I had the honor of meeting Stevie Richards back in 2015, hell of a guy and one of the nicest Pros i met. 🍻
Wishing you well, Stevie!
Richards should of been a genuine WWF WrestleMania main eventing star. The problem was 2 fold, HBK wasn't done yet. Y2J was being hyped as the next HBK. Richards was literally the next coming of HBK. Phenomenal talent. And a nice person.
I'm glad you say that because I always felt like he had HBK star potential
Met Stevie a few times at Iron Mike Sharp School of professional wrestling.. Cool dude!!
Happy to hear he's doing better noe. That was a terrifying story.
Love Stevie Richards seems like a proper sound dude
Wow. I knew he had issues a few months back but I never knew it was this bad. I'm happy to see he's doing better and in good spirits.
Glad to see you ok. Infections are not a nice thing to go through. Hope you get even better.
Man so scary just from a dog bite so wild.. Tomorrow is truly never promised 🐶
You can always tell who has TRULY been through it, by their attitude afterwards! Love ya Stevie, Still loved that JBL chair shot!
Several years ago, there was a story about how a guy was licked by his dogs and he caught something (same as Stevie?) and the man lost several limbs.
What a genuinely nice man. I was never a huge fan of stevie richards the wrestler ( dont get me wrong, he was one of the most gifted i have ever seen), i just never got in to his characters. But i think he is a true breath of fresh air.
His symptoms kinda sound like the same thing I'm currently going through. Walked to the store yesterday and my legs gave out on me after lower back shooting pain.
if you are felling like that see a doctor
Hope you get that checked out. Be well.

100% agreed. With a bit more size, he could have been a main eventer in any company.
How much he was on fire with Right to Censor when it first started. I was like it was his time to finally get that belt. Just imagine what he could have done with the title with right to censor. It would have been worth it in my opinion.
Richards and Al Snow are in the same mould.. Both under rated.
@@fingersTitan I always thought the "Good Father" gimmick was silly. I wanted Al Snow in there saying "What does everybody want.... Intelligence" and replace the original head with a mannequin head with the lobes mapped out. He and Bull would have been epic as a tag team.
@@jasondiend4248 that and his run with Victoria on Sunday Night Heat was epic.
I'm glad Stevie's okay. That's a scary and horrible situation that he was in.
I'd like to meet him or speak to him one day.
I've had to many surgeries and isometric exercises is basically all I do just had total knee replacement and a month out walking normal just keeping limber stretching most importantly think James all problems stem from bending the knee while elevating after surgery very important to keep that joint straight when not in use while rehabilitation
Stevie's situation reminds me of Bret Harts. Both had looks that were age defying. Both struck ill and now Father Time is putting back the age he withheld plus compound interest.
That is the best way I have ever someone that went from so "blessed" to so "cursed" according to some people.
BIG STEVIE COOL ..GREAT DUDE

Great to see Stevie doing better, he is a good good to on wwe herre comes the pain
PULLING FOR YOU BIG STEVIE COOL
I'm so glad he's ok.
What a good dude...
Jesus, I hope Steven is ok ! He’s a really nice guy. I’ve heard nothing but good things about him. 😊
Damn I watched this guy in childhood, ruthless aggression era. I want my idols to be healthy. I'll show you, you'll see!
Great interview and Stevie seems real nice guy. Damn, we all know wrestlers are a different breed when it comes to pain. But little things we don’t think of like ring mat burns must happen all the time and they are nothing to wrestlers. But a carpet burn stings like fuck to us mere mortals,
Holy crap, I had the same thing in my knee as a child.
Dude has the coolest voice
Infections are so serious. My mom's friend got one while she was recovering from cancer treatment and the infection took her out. Another guy I know, a bishop, as he retired he fell ill with an infection and over a year later he still walks with a cane.
Where's the full interview?
God bless you Stevie. Jesus protected you!
God bless him! Perfect storm of bad things...I have this kind of luck! I hope you keep getting better Stevie Richards!
Stevie Richards and the chain of unfortunate events.
Love Dancin’ Stevie
I had a brain infection was in a coma for 3 1/2 weeks. When I come round I had the spinel tap on my spine to see If the infection was in there. When they did that it's the worst pain!
Had a similar thing happen to me...would love to chat with one on one with Stevie
Get well soon mate
Oh Bro, it sucks when your once fit body starts to age and past injuries come back to haunt us. You look great, hang in there Bro.
Stevie richards family has a tee shirt buisness in my neighborhood when me and my friends were younger we discovered a wrestling ring behind the tee shirt store . We definitely had to bne to wrestle . It was like an amazing discovery for a 12 yr old group of kids lol
Weird observation...did Stevie get his tattoo removed?
I used to always think Stevie Richards was Shawn Michaels brother. WWE could have made a storyline of these 2 as brothers/rivals similar to Kane/Undertaker.
Big Stevie Kool get better
I'll show you you'll see yeah that great theme song
Christ this is worrying me now, I have had lower back pain for a few months now, numbness in my left arm too. I keep saying I am going to see a doctor but something else comes up or I end up getting called into work.
Fuck that. Go to the Dr. Can't get called in to work if you're dead. Sorry to be blunt but it's the truth.
🙏🏾👏🏾
Former UFC fighter just died of something similar.
Atta boy steve
This guy was the most fit wrestler and is a fitness trainer
Steve should grow the mustache of his beard out I think he could pull off the mustache twirling look.
If life was named John Bradshaw Layfield, Stevie is hitting it in the head with a steel chair.
The BWO should be inducted into the WWE hall of fame of 2024 in Philly
RGT85 brought me here….
Lol I thought it was Adam rose going for Stevie
Hello Stevie....What Exactly Happened to You?....If You Dont Feel Like Explaining The Details Perhaps a Link of Your Story is Online i Can Read?
He had a viral infection in his spine brought on by a dog bite and made worse by COVID.
blue always survives
Wow, he lost a lot of weight. Almost unrecognizable.
U never seal up a dog or animal bite….EVERRRRRRR
I just mentioned on jacob Israel's channel about missing stevie and wanting them to do a show soon again.... this is crazy. Best wishes man...
Someone would have 2 dead dogs
Select few wrestlers that had great superkicks and he's one of them before they became overrated
Omg please tc
