Never got the hate on Davey Richards. He seems pretty solid. Maybe he shouldn't be getting a megapush in ROH but heh there are less deserving people in the world.
Also just found his Match With Michael Elgin...Cool.

Also just found his Match With Michael Elgin...Cool. No charisma, shitty promos, started his career off as a bad Chris Benoit clone, a billion and one stiff kicks in every match with no reason behind them, no sells big spots just to get on to the next spot. Overall, he's your typical average indy spot monkey who somehow snowed people into thinking he's something more. |

Again , None of the things you said would make me hate the guy as much as you seem to. Different strokes for different folks I guess. |

At least Davey's more interesting than Roderick Strong.
Yeah, I can't even half arse a compliment for Davey Richards, sorry.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.Pretty much. The thing with Davey is that there is no middle ground on him. You either love him or you hate him. The man could give John Cena lessons on how to be a polarizing figure. |

Different strokes for different folks I guess. He doesn't need to be funny or mention "poopy" don't put words in my mouth. He just needs to be good. He isn't. For an example of a guy who does what Richards should be doing SO much better than he does, look at someone like Arn Anderson. Dude was a great, underrated promo guy by being very intense and serious. He'd tell you he was gonna go out and mess you up, and then he'd get in the ring and back it up. If Richards could do that, a ton of his problems would disappear. |

I dunno about that, most people I know tend to think he's alright but another example of Roderick Strong ROH booking (solid enough but lacking in all charisma against guys who deserve that title 20 times more for the purposes of an entertaining title holder), I don't particularly hate him but in regards to threads about how interesting the man is... Well, he's not a particularly great in ring guy and he's like a very depressing brick on the microphone. So yeah, he's alright. He's no marmite! |

On topic, Davey really does look like a wombat. That's hilarious, honestly.

On the other forums I frequent, however, opinions on him are pretty split. So, maybe it's just the people I know that he has that polarizing effect on. |

I know a lot of peoples' opinions soured on Davey after he screwed over Gabe when he first created EVOLVE.
Davey can be entertaining especially as a heel. He was in PWG, and I enjoyed him and Eddie as the American Wolves. He's just so bland in ROH. Like to me, he's a very cheap version of what Low Ki was supposed to be when ROH was first created.

The problem with Davey is that a lot of people think he's an exceptional wrestler. In New Japan, in a lot of the matches he's in, he's actually the least talented guy in there. Rocky Romero's a better wrestler, seriously. Davey is good at knowing what to do in big matches, he just needs an opponent to control the match to stop it from getting too anal and overbearing. Hopefully Steen will do that tonight.

Davey Richards is pretty entertaining everywhere else except Ring of Honor.
That's not Davey's fault.

Overall, he's your typical average indy spot monkey who somehow snowed people into thinking he's something more. The best way to describe him is as a guy who watched a lot of Benoit, Dynamite and '90s AJPW and does his best to imitate them in terms of making a huge spectacle with big "holy s***" spots and sequences but without any of the penchant for story telling and drama that greats like them had. He comes off as a mechanical imitation of what someone thinks a great wrestler is instead of a great wrestler. |

So if Chris Benoit and The Dynamite Kid had a kid together....you would get "The Rabid Wombat" Davey Richards?
Seriously...Davey Richards look like someone couldn't make up there mind if they want a Benoit or Dynamite CAW, so they just say f*** it and created Richards after going back and forward for an hour or so.
