Yeah that Final Battle match sucked but it was Kozina who beat up the young wrestler and Davey actually did give back the money. IIRC, he gave back the money a week or so later due to public pressure. It's not like he realized he did something stupid and gave the money back ten minutes after he stole it. I don't know if it was your intent, but it reads like you think giving back the money makes it all ok. It doesn't. He wasn't going to give the money back if the story didn't get out. Exactly. And I read his "statement" about the situation, and it basically boils down to "Well, if you think we did wrong, f*** you".

No it wasn't my intent and i apologize that it came out that way it's just that it keeps being brought up over and over again and everyone seems to forget that he did pay it back so while it wasn't okay by any means it isn't like he kept it and has done it again since.That said i got no problem with hating his matches. It's less that people forget it and more that people aren't impressed by people who give back stolen money to avoid PR/legal ramifications from stealing it, doubly so if someone somehow comes off as even more of a douchetwat during the "apology" than they did for stealing the money in the first place.

I've never been impressed with Davey. And the only thing I want so hard from The Wolves is Eddie. Just sayin' You know you want to get stiffed by Davey.

There are multiple people claiming that Davey hurt a kid, when I never heard anything besides Tony Kozina legit choking someone in a match for being "disrespected." It's not O.K. that Davey and Kyle let that happen, but it seems sanctimonious to pin that on Davey.

I'm catching up, so I'm seeing Richards' rise (and fall) second-hand having already seen peoples' opinions but I just don't see it with him. In regards to his in-ring work, he's good but just comes off as obviously trying entirely too hard to be like the wrestlers whose style he enjoyed without putting anything unique behind it. Whether it's social anxiety problems, being a douche, or any combination of the two to varying degrees, it just doesn't make the guy appealing.
I think I can pinpoint the exact moment I made up my mind that I was not a fan. I was watching a a match from Japan(I want to say against Devitt but can't remember for sure) and he just kind of yells "I'm gonna f**king kill you" while running at his opponent. Very generic, no real emotion or story behind it, just "This is what indie fans chant a lot and now I'm gonna say it."

Can't believe people are defending his douchery by saying it's social anxiety. He might have it, but that's not why he's a ginormous cockbag. He's just a prick through and through, and no offence, but the way you're going "OH, THE SAME THING HAPPENS TO ME, I HAVE THAT" just comes off as trying to justify any douchery you've committed.
Don't do that shit. It's like people who self diagnose themselves with Aspergers and think it allows them to be c***s on the internet.
Anyway, The way I always see his wrestling style is basically that one kid that was in your group of friends who was constantly giving himself new powers when you were playing superheroes so he was invincible & had to one-up everything you did by having a better version. That's what he does, but in front of an international audience.
And in regards to the Kozina thing, he was totally culpable, he stood by the curtain shouting shite about being disrespected and a bunch of other stuff in a f***ing kayfabe promo. Dude, if you're getting offended by something someone said in a promo so much that you feel the need to get your friend to beat the shit out of them, you're in the wrong line of work.
Oh, and his "'MURICAN STRONG STYLE" shite and Jiu Jitsu Jackass schtick totally makes him come off as the type of prick who'd buy a Tapout shirt and then think he's an MMA badass.
