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. It's not charisma then I don't like about Richards, it's the fact he thinks Top-Rope Dragon Suplexes and Shooting Star Presses into Kimuras are perfectly valid mid-match moves and no-selling all of big moves done to him, too. If you like him, hey, more power to you, but to me, after that crapfest that was his ROH main event run, no thanks on seeing him anywhere.

Like others have said, two different types of asshole, but both are about par in terms of how big of one they are.
Then again, I seriously wonder sometimes if Davey doesn't have a drug problem or something going on with the way he seems to have mood swings and random bouts of self-destruction in regards to his career.

I don't watch ROH, and I recommend that no one judge a wrestler based on their performance there. Not-so-subtle hint: PWG is where most guys truly shine.

Yes, I know you're shilling PWG again, and yes, I have seen him in PWG, in ROH, in New Japan and elsewhere, and to put it bluntly: I don't like Richards with a fox, I don't like Richards in a box. I don't like Richards here or there, I don't like Richards anywhere.

I think Michaels was worse.
Sure Richards has some problems, but he never seemed to go out of his way to damage a guys credibility, or cry about losing like Michaels did. Michaels was straight up whiny and vindictive bitch back then.

The only similarity they have is that they both had Sunny days. The difference being she was in her prime when Michaels was having them.
