Davey Richards is at it again...

[Steveweiser]

From this week's second edition of the Observer...

There was an issue with Davey Richards and Future Shock Wrestling in England. When Richards did his tour of the U.K. a few months back, he wrestled for the promotion against its champion, Jack Gallagher. During the match, there was an accident and Gallagher ended up being knocked out. Richards, to save the match, had no real choice but to pin Gallagher and win the championship. It wasn’t what they wanted but it was understood it was the only real option at that moment. Richards agreed to come back to drop the title. Their owner, Dave Pownall, claimed Richards pulled out two days before the planned rematch saying he wasn’t going to get on the plane for “anything less than twice the agreed fee.” Between that and the cost of flying him in, they said they couldn’t afford it. They asked, since the booking had fallen apart, if Richards could at least send in a video. Richards sent a video via e-mail 20 minutes after the show started. They had to get Internet access to download it and edit it and with the exception of the guy doing the editing, nobody saw it until it was played at the show after the main event ended. The sound and video quality wasn’t good and the video was not the outline of what they had asked him to say, but instead his running down the company. Richards sent an e-mail to Damien Smith of the promotion on 10/5 saying, “I’ve told you and Dave now, that I am not coming over because we could not agree on the price. Like I said before, since I am champion, my price has to go up so my old fee needs to be at least doubled before I come over."

Someone get this man a "tryout" match with Brock Lesnar. It would be worth whatever Brock's fee is to see him whip this wanker's ass.

[Bishblast]

He reminds me of an even less professional Dynamite Kid... but I still love the guy as an in ring talent.

Is Richards the long lost brother of Low-Ki or something? They are pretty much complete clones, right down to the shit attitude outside the ring.

Ki really hasn't had a bad attitude for awhile and even at his worst, he didn't hold up promotions like Davey has, and he also had fairly steady gigs in Japan. New Japan cancelled Davey's tour after he pulled that stunt in Iowa.

He'll get him in the ring with Necro

Good for New Japan. He was woefully out of place there.

So will people stop booking this guy already?

[WarChief]

Davey is just a shitty person.

[secretJOKER]

What a shit head.

[Steveweiser]

I'm seeing him next week for AAW - just as well, as they're big enough for him not to pull this crap on them.

[cruiserfan]

On the plus side, Future Shock might start bringing in other US indy guys that aren't Richards and I might be more encouraged to go. Not that the home talent isn't good but I just don't like Davey.

[KobashiChop]

I hate this so much. I'm becoming less and less interested in Davey with each story like this. And I was a massive Richards fan not so long ago.

[Shy Guy]

i am so over davey richards. just f***ing retire already.

[Deleted]

I liked Davey alot 2 years ago but this is just getting ridiculous. It's like he's pulling a Dynamite Kid on promoters nowadays.

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

For his sake, I hope this is fake or there's at least a lot more to this. If this is to be believed, he's pissing some golden opportunities away.

["Playboy" Don Douglas]

"Since I am champion, my price has to go up."

Um, Davey...it's a work. Being champion doesn't automatically mean you get a bump in pay.

[rzombie1988]

I just don't get it with Davey. He went through a whole mess to try to get some respect back and he's pulling crap again.

Was this in the observer? I read it but didn't recall this.

[Deleted]

If this is true, then maybe indy feds will learn never to trust this d-bag again.

[Rave]

Why is ROH still bringing him in when he's pulling this crap on a regular basis now?

Bob Holly's fee would likely be much less than Brock's.
