WWE might be in a bind trying to come up with an NXT name more generic than Davey Richards. John Smith

Do not want ... but if the fates demand this must happen, they might as well make him Repo Man II.

I would love it if he was signed and instead of being the tough guy badass he wants to be they gave him the goofiest gimmick possible. Right now I'm leaning towards stripping fireman, but if some FAN members can think of goofier stuff for Davey to be I'm all ears. Son of Shango: The lovechild of Papa Shango & the Fabulous Moolah's ghost. CruTwo: Failed clone of Jamie Noble that has become self-aware and seeks to destroy the Cruiserweight Division. Upon finding out it's already dead, he becomes a Diva hair stylist named KweeThree. Rapid Dave: He joins up with Jack Swagger & Zeb Colter, speaking out against Sin Cara, who he thinks is Speedy Gonzales in disguise. Jack: A farmer that escaped the videogame Harvest Moon. He carries a variety of farm tools that he uses to attack opponents. He also seeks out to woo the Divas, often experiencing sappy, romantic moments with cheesy music in the background. Evad: Escaped mental patient that thinks he's John Cena's hat. That last one is a winner. I want him to get signed, his first time in the ring with a mic, he actually calls himself "Baby Benoit", and he's fired during the commercial break during his match.

There's like no downside to him getting signed by WWE. He gets taken off the indies for a while and we get a bunch of ridiculous stories of him being an asshole before he's inevitably let go.
It's a win/win.

This might be one of the few times a former internet darling getting constantly jobbed out on tv might not be demonized

I've only seen him wrestle once and he reminded me of Dynaymite Kid. I wouldn't mind seeing what he could do in WWE, especially if he's going to have matches with guys like Tyson Kidd and Antonio Cesaro.

I stopped following Ring of Honor in 2009 so forgive me if I'm out of the loop, but just WHAT happened between then and now? From the look of it, people sound like they want his blood. He used to be liked by majority of people back then, at least that's what it seemed like?? ? ?? His Team Ambition crap turned a lot of people away, but the other big issue is his constant talk of retiring at the end of the year (which I think he's done every year since 2010) that results in him getting more money or a push. He also takes himself way too seriously I will say this about Davey, when he actually doesn't take things seriously, he can be fairly entertaining from a character standpoint (see him in Team Statutory in PWG) For those talking about Johnny Gargano, outside of Dragon Gate USA, I don't mind him at all. Even in DUSA when he was in Ronin he was enjoyable... of course, everywhere I've enjoyed him it's when he's paired with Chuck Taylor so there might be that.

I don't understand all the hate here. People are talking like he's the only person trying to make a bigger name for themselves and no-sell their opponents offence.
I got to meet him last year at the ROH shows for Wrestlemania weekend. He came across as a guy who really loves wrestling and loves meeting his fans. He was out the front after his phenomenal match with Michael Elgin (which was given ***** by some places) continuing to meet people and taking photos, even though he was being asked to come backstage by ROH people.
He's an amazing talent in the ring. He might not be the absolute greatest on the mic, but if Seth Rollins can come to WWE and make such a marked improvement, there's no saying that Davey couldn't as well.
I'll end with this. Davey has been linked, style wise to Chris Benoit, who also wasn't great on the mic. But up until certain events, Benoit was very much loved because he put on the best matches on the card when he was allowed. WWE wont tolerate some one with no backstage pull in the company, no-selling offence.
If Davey gets a chance in NXT/WWE, he'll have great matches (especially with the talent that has been hired in the past few years), the fans and WWE Universe will love him purely for his matches.

He used to be liked by majority of people back then, at least that's what it seemed like?? ? ?? They claim all he does is no sell. He "stole" money from a promoter (which he sent back to the promoter 2 days later) just to prove a point. The whole Team Bandit video thing was basically NWA: Smoky Mountain's idea he said. Davey seems to get more hate than anyone who has stiffed wrestlers out of money and other wrestlers who really held up and stole money from promoters. If the only thing you can do to make some ill-defined point about respect is to take money from someone, bolt without working, and return it only after it gets out that you actually did take the money and you start getting heat for it, then really the only thing you proved is that you're capable of being a colossal douche. Of course he's going to try to spin it to make himself look better.

Richards has the charisma of a peanut and is an egotistical jerk. He would not last a minute in the WWE.
