It seems like every time I read about him two points pop up.
1. He's incredibly talented as a performer.
2. He's a massive dick.
So could this be a fair comparison at all? Also, wasn't Richards one of a slew of indie guys who got a WWE tryout recently. Could another Kliq be far behind. Maybe it's true that thing about the more things change the more they stay the same.

Has he vacated nearly every title he's won rather than lose to someone who isn't his friend, costing the company he works for money and gotten away with it? Has working with him killed the momentum of nearly every rising star that he's been paired with? If the answer's no to either, then he's not 90's Shawn.

Shawn Michaels, even in his worst day, never got into the ring with a rookie and legit bashed his face in for no reason beyond the fact that he felt he could get away with it.
This comparison is insulting to the Shawn Michaels of the '90s, and when I'm saying something is insulting to a narcissistic drug addict, that says a lot.

they're both total assholes but for completely different reasons. Shawn Michaels was a pill-fiend who'd cry like a 5 year old and pick up his ball and go home whenever he didn't get his way. Davey's a midget version of Bob Holly or Bill Demott.

This comparison is insulting to the Shawn Michaels of the '90s, and when I'm saying something is insulting to a narcissistic drug addict, that says a lot. Given how HBK got the shit beaten out of him backstage by Bret, and his ass kicking he got from a marine, he probably was less apt to pick a fight with people in the ring because of how it'd turn out for him, keeping most of his options in the realm of backstage politics, rather than physical. |

Davey didn't bash a kid's face in, that was his friend and trainer Tony Kozina. Davey goes through mood swings it seems. Sometimes he's legit a humble dude, cool to be around, and willing to put people over (like Chris Dickenson this weekend at Cage of Death) and other times he's a complete prick (see the whole Iowa situation) |

Yeah, Shawn just gives splashes to guys that just got paralyzed and pins them, way more honorable. This is coming from a huge 90's Shawn Michaels fan. |

Davey Richards is nowhere near 'incredibly talented'. I think he looks badass and don't mind him as much as others, but he's really nothing amazing in the ring.

HBK never had Davey's talent. Prime example...  |

I think in order for Davey Richards to reach full 90s Shawn Michaels status, he'd need to be drugged out of his mind and be on top of one of the biggest wrestling federations in the world. He is neither of those things.
I wonder sometimes if Davey has had some sort of head injury or chemical imbalance cause it seems like he's really cool sometimes and then his reputation comes out.

Over in the WWE forum everyone was raving on about how you only have to listen to Richards talk about wrestling for a few minutes and you like him.
Yet everyone in here doesn't seem tio like him

For all of you Davey doubters, I suggest checking out his recent PWG work. He still gives his all and has put over countless wrestlers, and most likely will again this coming Friday/Saturday (vs. Gargano & Ricochet, respectively). I've seen Shawn Michaels sell...so no. |

Somehow, I doubt he's still not a terrible wrestler just because he wrestles somewhere else then ROH or EVOLVE or whatnot. |

Somehow, I doubt he's still not a terrible wrestler just because he wrestles somewhere else then ROH or EVOLVE or whatnot. It makes a world of difference. PWG is his home promotion, ever since 2005. And now that they have a permanent venue, he knows what the crowd wants and adapts. He's very charismatic and entertaining in PWG, the promotion that gives him the freedom to do whatever. |
