Translating Davey Boy's longwinded I-don't-talk-I-act post:
* Yes, I stole the money. But it wasn't a lot of money. And when I got caught and called out for it, I paid it back.
* We had the promoter over the barrell and tried to change the card to our liking (and since he endorses O'Reilly's version, interesting that these 'warriors' were too injured to wrestle singles but not to work out, and not too injured to slow their runaway act to get to the car)
* I'm a prick and proud of it.
* I stand up for what's right: I was taught 'veteran' guys shouldn't be disrespected, even if they don't act like veterans or professionals. And I'm glad Kozina risked that kid's health, because if I thought there was something wrong with it then I'd have done something about it.
ROH is said to be bringing a show to my area sometimes soon (no date announced yet but looks like this fall). If Richards is on it, I won't be attending. I will in no way contribute to his prick fund.

Well damn. I like the honesty and do think he makes a couple of interesting points but still don't like how he and especially Kozina did. His points are interesting, but his general attitude still screams "douche" to me. Maybe that's just who the guy is, I dunno, but I wasn't a fan before, and I doubt much could sway me now. I do agree with that. He seems like Punk in that he's brutally honest and open with his opinion, he just doesn't have the charisma to bring people to his side like Punk can.

Still doesn't explain why they felt the best way for Kidd to learn was to shoot on him on a match, one of those that breaks kayfabe for no reason, and deliberately doing bad piledrivers with a 16 year old kid.
And I wonder if there wasnt such a outcry, would Richards of returned the money? One right does not cancel out one wrong.

Considering that O'Reilly only saw fit to return his share(were they payed 350 apiece, or all together?) after outcry from his douchy first blog, I'm willing to bet that if he hadn't been called out on it, he'd have kept the money.

It's still not a strong argument considering one of his arguements is that it's not much money. That doesn't make it okay.
I suspect these guys are gonna get heckled about this at a lot of shows.

I want this guy to get a Tough Enough tryout and for Stone Cold (or hell, HHH) to make him squirm so badly.

The thing is, these events, plus that blog, absolutely paint the picture of a guy who would try to buck up on Trips or Austin to show he "won't be pushed around", only to get put in his place in a hurry.

Plus to some people, that's not a small amount. $350 is a lot of money to me, and I know I'm not the only one.

I know the value of the dollar isn't what it used to be, but $350 can still go towards quite a bit of things.

Yeah, f*** Davey Richards. I would like to see a boycott of any show featuring him.

THIS JUST IN: Davey Richards is now officially such a clueless putz that he's gone back in time and replaced Stevie Richards in ECW's annals.

Seriously. I know it goes against the "veteran" way, but beating the shit out of some kid because you felt "disrespected" is insane. LIke you said DR, talk to him. Choking him until he passes out isn't the way to settle a problem you overgrown manchild.
f*** him and his two awful little pals.

So Richards and Team Mouthguard are brought into Iowa and put up into a nice hotel and Kozina beats up a kid and they steal money from a promoter because there was a disagreement with how the card was booked.
And now Richards is saying that Jaysin Strife is slandering him for basically doing nothing but telling the truth about the incident?
Maybe Team Mouthguard should put on their douchey Affliction shirts and just go and try to make it in MMA where they can get their asses beat in a worse way than Kozina did to that kid.

They seem like such huge douchebags. The type of guys who wear Tap-Out shirts and try to start shit with people who they perceive as being weaker than they are. I wouldn't pay a dime to support a card any of them were on.

Honestly I don't wanna get banned for being too harsh nor do I wanna be nasty to other human beings, it's not my way. But as much as I'm just a mark (hey BJ Whitmer you arrogant prick) I hope Davey (especially after that response to a situation he is completely at fault for) never wrestles for another wrestling company ever. He vs. Elgin is second to only HHH/Taker as my favourite match of this year so far but the inappropriate way he has acted in this situation and the way he still believes he's in the right is sickening to me. I hope he's blackballed from wrestling today. Total c*** (and I hate that word, with a passion, one of the few times I've ever used it).

Wrestler culture. Is. INSANE.
You guys are ACTORS. You are travelling stage-combat performers. What on earth happens to these guys to make them buy into this whole thing, much less use it to justify awful behavior?

Only in pro wrestling would you have people defending and applauding this sort of action.
