The Stevie Richards Show

Welcome back to The Stevie Richards Show! It's Episode 4 and Stevie will be taking a very close and detailed look at the problems that plague AEW. It begins with looking at a breakdown of costs which has found its way online and equates to a $4 Million spend on just one PPV and subsequent TV show. It shows how much is being spent on almost all aspects of the shows production, rental of equipment and costs for talent and man hours. Stevie will then head to the smart board for a theoretical but completely radical shake up of the AEW roster. Who will make the cut in Stevie Richards' version of AEW and why do some stars NOT make the cut?

Enjoy!

Stevie Richards surprised, entertained and informed the wrestling world in 2023 when he debuted the Stevie Richards' Wrestling Analysis YouTube channel to widespread critical acclaim. Combining his experience in the wrestling profession with his keen eye for detail and a passion for teaching fans and workers alike, Richards achieved over 100,000 YouTube subscribers in a matter of months with his short form videos explaining exactly what went right or wrong in a particular match or manoeuvre.

With 30+ years working for nearly every major American promotion during their hottest periods (ECW, WCW, WWE, TNA), Stevie Richards is not only dusting off his patented whiteboard and marker to once again break down the psychology and physicality of this crazy business, but Stevie is now adding to his repertoire by debuting a weekly show, imaginatively titled The Stevie Richards Show.

The "show" in The Stevie Richards Show is the key word - this will not be another run of the mill podcast recorded on Zoom, clipped up and posted 8 times a day on YouTube and featuring a disinterested ex pro wrestler out to make a quick buck. What makes The Stevie Richards Show a "show" will be the attention to detail given to every episode, including added on screen annotations, factoids, images and video and 4K camera set up to give the sharpest, best looking, broadcast quality videos on YouTube. Most importantly of all, The Stevie Richards Show's output will be about quality, not quantity. Every Friday, Stevie Richards and co-host James Romero (WSI | Wrestling Shoot Interviews, Story Time with Dutch Mantell) will discuss the latest news, delve deep into the wrestling profession with more detail and first hand experience than any other podcast, answer fan submitted questions and, yes, break out the whiteboard to break down the what went right, or wrong, in the wrestling world. The Stevie Richards Show debuts on YouTube and all podcast platforms on Friday, June 28th. YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/@StevieRichardsShow

We are 3 episodes in to The Stevie Richards Show and we couldn't be more grateful for the fantastic response to the show so far and the number of people who have tuned in and subscribed. Thank you!

This week, following The Rock's suggestion that his "Final Boss" heel character is the greatest heel of all time, Stevie will give his thoughts and nominate who he thinks is ACTUALLY the best heel ever and WHY!

Then Stevie will talk about the various moves that have been banned, used and banned again in the ever changing rule book of WWE. Which moves actually represent a great risk, which ones weren't so bad and which are the moves that aren't banned but should be?

This week' whiteboard segment takes a very close look at the botched kickout from Money in the Bank 2024. Was Damien Priest out cold? Why wasn't he looking for the count? What went wrong?

Finally, Stevie will talk about what it was really like to wrestle Goldberg. Is he reckless? Can he work? How do you plan a match with Goldberg?

The Stevie Richards Show returns with a brand new show starring Stevie Richards himself, but it's the first proper episode of the show after episode 1 somehow only ended up talking about news stories!

The Stevie Richards Show episode 2 features The WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA and ROH veteran doing some deep dives on the true nature of what WWE's "downside guarantee" contracts truly mean, what you can and cannot do while under a WWE contract, payment for injuries and more.

Elsewhere, Stevie breaks down exactly what he earned in WWE and how much he ended up spending while on the road with WWE on hotels, rental cars, food, drink, hotels and more. How much money was Stevie left with at the end of the year? Mr Richards reveals all, with a little help from the trusty whiteboard.

Speaking of whiteboards, episode 2 of The Stevie Richards show features not one, but two segments on the whiteboard this week, with a return to the wrestling analysis as Stevie re-examined the Bret Hart vs Goldberg StarrCade 1999 match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The kick that Goldberg landed on Bret would give him a concussion that would see Bret eventually hang up his boots and retire a couple of weeks later, but we also look at various head trauma Bret suffered before and after the kick and Stevie asks the question: Did the kick solely end Bret Hart's career? Is Goldberg truly at fault? Are they just a pair of marks who can't let go of the past? That might be a bit strong, but it's an excellent deep dive.

Stevie also tackles Kevin Nash's complaining about CM Punk taking time off to rehab his torn triceps (again) - is Nash complaining because he's bitter or because he hates CM Punk?

And to top it off, Stevie looks at the world's WORST babyface who, thankfully, has finally turned heel. But before she did, Stevie takes a look at some of the pretty mean spirited stuff she said in recent interviews and wonders how she was ever thought of as a babyface in the first place!
