The finish of his final match would be no different, turns out. Immediately splitting opinion of not only the live crowd and the audience at home but also those of the host and co-host of The Stevie Richards Show. Gunther stuck to his word and made John Cena give up in his final match. Was it the right way to end the match and the historic career of the "Greatest Of All Time"? The whole event was built on the future of the business making a mark against the company's standard setters and future Hall of Famers. NXT champion, Oba Femi demonstrated huge power and intensity against undisputed champion Cody Rhodes, Sol Ruca put on a wonderful show and impressive victory against fan favourite, Bayley. Then the pairing of Je'von Evans and TNA X-Division champion Leon Slater almost had a quick win over the WWE tag team champions, Dragon Lee and the first X-Divison champ, AJ Styles where the Phenomenal One would show he can still hang with a team whose combined age still doesn't exceed his own. Stevie Richards is here to talk about all those matches and lets us know where they fall on the Garea Rating System (the only rating system that matters).

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 75 | Was I Too Harsh about Modern Wrestling? Following last week's episode, we thought a more balanced approach to the state of pro-wrestling today was in order. We are nothing of not objective on this show. So this week Stevie and James will be looking at more specific subjects of today's wrestling landscape and making a case for the good as well as the bad. Everything from production value to sponsorship to the schedule and the nature of modern wrestlers themselves.

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 56 | The Death of Hulk Hogan + D'Von Dudley Last Match, Fan Questions Hulk Hogan was once one of the biggest legends in sports entertainment. Arguably, the industry of pro-wrestling as we know it would not be what it is if not for the man who became such a cultural icon of the 80's and 90's. He transended wrestling and sports entertainment and became one of the most recognisable faces in the world and remained so for decades and until his recent passing. He wasn't always held in the highest regard and it would be hard to argue that he tarnished his own legacy in one way or another in the latter years of his life. He said and did things that would have a great many fans and peers lose respect for him that he would never get back. How much does that take away from his impact on the industry? How does that compare to the millions he would inspire over the decades, especially those whom he would inspire at a young age and become the stars we watch on TV today?

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 54 | WWE Developmental Part One Sometimes, creative has nothing for you. Sometimes, you're out of shape. Sometimes, you're just not quite ready for TV. So sometimes, you have to go to developmental. Small, regional promotions up and down the USA were known to be the farming ground for future WWE talent and a means for existing talent to get back to basics, come up with a new gimmick or even to fade into obscurity (sometimes). This week, Stevie Richards will talk to us about his time in WWE's developmental territory, HWA. Following the end of his run as the leader of RTC, Stevie was circling the drain (prf=ofessionally speaking) and could have been released from WWE altogether. His time in HWA helped Stevie get back in shape and back in touch with the kind of work that would keep him on the roster for quite some time longer.

Stvie will talk about how the gimmick came to be, the match with Tomko and why it was so bad and he will also discuss how he felt about his career on the back of this PPV. elsewhere in the show, Stevie celebrates the genius of Willaim Regal and Fit Finlay as he analyses 2 matches in this week's "What went Right?", we send our best wishes and get well soon to Jim Ross following his successful cancer surgery before we ask Stevie "What Went Wrong?" in the recent match on WWE RAW between Dragon Lee, Penta and Chad Gable.

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 46 | A Tribute to Sabu This week, the wrestling world mourns the passing of one of it's true innovators. Terry Brunk, better known as Sabu, was an ECW original who truely set a standard for the hardcore style which became his signature from start to finish.

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 43 | Is The Rock Ruining WWE? Of all the great many stories, rumors and news in the fallout from Wrestlemania 41, The Rock's appearance on the Pat McAfee Show has to be the most...eyebrow raising (nailed it) of them all.

This week, Stevie Richards talks about the fallout of WWECW: Disember to Dismember 2006. A PPV that speled the end for ECW as a separate brand for the WWE.

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 39 | WWECW December to Dismember PPV Review WWE's version of ECW. Dead on arrival? Nothing short of a failure? A missed oportunity? We can debate the above all day and night but what we can agree on is that December to Dismember 2006 was considered one of the worst PPV's either company had put their 3 letters to. Endless promos and matches that went just too long and nonsensical stories and twists. The WWE branded ECW would die soon after this event and become a legend all it's own. This week, Stevie will take a look at the match card of the event and give his thoughts on how the PPV was put together, Stephanie McMahon's involvement in WWECW and if she was qualified to be involved at all and the curious matter of how and why Sabu was written off the show and WWE all together. Elsewhere, in a new segment, Stevie will use some advanced tech to visually demonstrate how a basic tag team match is put together, we ask "What Went Wrong?" when Jey Uso flopped instead of flipped over the top rope and Stevie will also pontificate on the latest John Cena heel promo.

Barely Legal was the inaugural PPV held by ECW. It took place on April 13, 1997, from the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. BUt it almost didn't happen.

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 28 | WWE Raw Netflix Debut Reviewed WWE moving it's flagship show, RAW from Cable TV to streaming is a huge change which has been hyped for weeks and months. There has been a lot of rumor and speculation about what to expect from the progamme with the move: A different style of content? Harsher language and violence? Better stroylines? Longer shows? The question now is, did WWE deliver? Why change the ring canvas and fill it with sponsors? Why have a 3+ hour show with only 4 matches? How did one man kill two possible storylines in one night? Was this just a one off with WWE celebrating the move to Netlix with a "Rah! Rah! Go Team!" style production? Or is this what we can expect from WWE RAW moving forward? This is what Stevie will be thinking about on this episode. Stevie will also be conductiong a detailed review of the main event of Seth Rollins vs CM Punk in this week's analysis segment and in "What Went Wrong?", Stevie will demonstrate the right way (and the wrong way) to take CM Punk's GTS.

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 22 | Paul F'in Heyman In this episode, we are talking about one of the most polarizing figures in the world of professional wrestling. A man whose name is synonymous with both revolution and controversy. In 1993, Heyman took control of what was once Eastern Championship Wrestling and transformed it into a hardcore,rebellious promotion that will forever change the landscape of the industry.It was a breeding ground for innovation and giving rise to legends like Tommy Dreamer, Raven, The Sandman and many others. Under Heyman's leadership, the promotion became a sanctuary for the outcasts, the misfits and the wrestling fans who wanted something raw and something real. But while Heyman may have been a visionary for his time, running ECW was not without its fair share of scandals. Behind the scenes, Ecu's finances were a disaster, for Heyman's passion for the product was undeniable, but his ability to handle the business side was far less successful. From bouncing checks to lying to his talent about payments, many of the roster members were left in the dark, literally and financially. As the promotion struggled to stay afloat. The company's eventual collapse in 2001 was a direct result of these financial mismanagement issues.Despite all the passion and energy Heyman poured into his promotion, by the time he went under the unpaid wages, the broken promises and the bouncing checks had left a bitter taste in the mouths of many who have worked for him. Today we discuss the legacy of Paul Heyman. Welcome to episode 22 other Steve Richard Show.

Jobbers. Enhancement Talents. Carpenters. Whichever moniker you wish to use, there is no doubt that they are the STAR MAKERS of the world of pro-wrestling. They play an important part in getting people over. Some make it their duty to make the other guy look like a million bucks. Some become legends in their own right and even though they lost more matches than they won, the fans loved them. This week, Stevie Richards will be talking about the importance of "doing the job" and letting another guy go over, who would complain about putting Stevie over and the RIGHT way to lose a match. Stevie will also be giving his opinions on the guys who deserved a bigger stage than they got, the stars who weren't allowed to shine as bright as they could, the guys who chose to push themselves and the ones who were just underutilized by the machine. Then, Stevie asks "What Went Wrong?" when he takes a look at what happened when Mike Blackwell decided he didn't want to do the job for The Skyscrapers. Stevie will also rank the Nicest Guys in the locker room and end the episode by analyzing Randy "macho Man" Savage's famous Elbow Drop. 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.

Following a discussion about a recent Rolling Stone article on Vince McMahon's "Culture of Fear" according to former writers, Stevie Richards opens up about not only his experiences with the writers room, creative meetings and the culture he witnessed but also his experiences backstage and the toxic culture that thrived there for many years. From being literally being kicked from a chair by a veteran and being snubbed for not shaking hands, to taboo subjects that could get you fired if you so much as mentioned them. As well as the divisive "Wrestler's Court" and those who would be banished form the locker room for the worst indiscretions, Stevie will also take a very close look at the case of Mr. Kennedy, the rising star who's WWE career may have been tanked because of one mistake in the ring.

Recently, AEW and WWE have each had one of the bloodiest and brutal cage matches in their respective histories. AEW had an "Unsanctioned Lights Out Steel Cage Match" at their "All Out" 2024 PPV between "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland. WWE have just come out of their renewed "Bad Blood" PLE which started with the "Hell in a Cell" match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. Each represented an exclaimation mark at the end of long blood feuds and highly anticipated payoffs. So who better to compare every aspect of those cage matches than the Shaman of the Smartboard, Stevie Richards.

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 13 | Right to Censor: The Rise The Right to Censor faction was one of the most hated groups of all time. Clearly a parody the Parents Television Council who were against the kind of televison product the WWE were putting out at the time. But what was the creation process like for the group? Did Stevie have much say in the creative for the group? Did he have any sway over who would be part of the faction? While the group gained traction amd heat from the fans, there was a lot of frustration within the members of the group itself.

This week, Stevie Richards focuses on weapons in wrestling and just how far is too far. "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland used wooden splinters, staple guns, cinder blocks, chair shots to the head and a syringe in the mouth in the AEW All Out 2024 unsanctioned cage match main event. In fact, most everything but the cage they were wrestling in! So why use all these weapons in one match? Is any chair shot, no matter how "gimmicked", worth the risk? Why ever use a real cinder block to take slams on? On the theme of foreign objects, Stevie also ranks every single weapon that's been used on him, from fire extinguishers to thumb tacks to baseball bats to cookie sheets to ladders and everything in between. And in a special video analysis segment, Stevie discusses the time he worked with a prop taser in TNA wrestling Abyss, only to find out that the prop taser hurt more than the real one! Elsewhere, Stevie reacts to Hulk Hogan comparing himself to Chris Benoit in possibly the stupidest sentence he's ever uttered on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, as well as Kevin Nash getting all jelly over Logan Paul's contract and "not being one of the boys" only to get thoroughly trashed by Logan Paul himself the day after. That naturally leads Stevie to asking the question - who really is the better wrestler, Kevin Nash or Logan Paul? You want the answers? Stay tuned!

A very Hulk-centric episode of The Stevie Richards Show this week. Stevie talks about Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff arrival in TNA and how that indirectly impacted his career in the company, the influence and changes that came about on the back of it and a very interesting memory Stevie has from a conversation where the Hulkster let his guard down backstage. Stevie fires up the Smartboard to perform a breakdown of Hulk Hogan taking the Undertaker's Tombstone. Could the Hulkster have sustained a real deal injury from the move and cause the Deadman to fear for his job? Then, in the main event, Stevie takes a look at some of the biggest fibs Hulk Hogan has told over many years including being asked to join Metallica, Discovering Kevin Owens and JUST missing out of the BIGGEST endorsement ever!

The Stevie Richards Show 8 | 5 Star Matches The 5 Star Match has become a huge talking point in the wrestling community. In a world where wrestling has become more divisive than ever, Dave Meltzer's rating system has become one of the hottest topics in wrestling. Fans who want to highlight where most 5 star matches take place, or those who point out that some of the greatest wrestlers to ever step in the ring HAVE NEVER been awarded the 5 stars by Uncle Dave. It seems that even some of today's young performers are out to impress one man over the world as a whole. This week, Stevie Richards will take a look at, what HE considers 5 Star Matches, explain what criteria is met and why some matches don't make the cut.

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

This week Stevie sets out to end the debate once and for all using logic and math. Who was better in their prime, Bret "Hitman" Hart or "HBK" Shawn Michaels? Stevie will head to the smartboard and break it down one attribute at a time and decide who truly was the best of the best. Stevie will also talk about his experiences with both men and tell us why the saying, "Never meet your heroes" is sometimes true.

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!

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!
