Why does Stevie Richards get so much love on here?

[Mozenrath]

I like him a lot. I would never put the world title on him, but I'd be all for an IC/US sort of belt.

We need a European type belt again for guys like him.

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

I think the fact that he isn't used very often, as was previously brought up, bothers people.

I felt the exact same thing in regards to Rob Conway, being marooned on HEAT losing to Hacksaw Jim Duggan every week. Was he a prodigy? No, but I liked his 'Con Man' gimmick and thought he was a great wrestler. The fact that he was never given an opportunity bugged me.

He's good, but not great,IMO.

I never saw anything extraordinary out of him. A bit humorous at times, but that's it for me.

Just average.

Good-average?

To me it is, he's good as a midcarder, but by the way some people praise him on here, you'd think he was the next Austin or Hogan or something.

Exactly.

As someone mentioned, we need the European title back. It'd be perfect for him and Nunzio to feud over.

Because 90% of the I.W.C. are fanboys?

Let's face it, the guy is average at best.

He's done nothing of note for the past 10 years, nowadays he's a 6/10 worker who can't cut decent promos.

ECW Stevie was good, don't get me wrong. But the undeserved worship he gets on here from some people is scary.

*ducks*

THANK YOU

Stop right there!
I am NOT a fanboy!...Wait...*looks at signature*

Never mind, go on.

[pathogen]

He's great on the stick, and his ring work is solid, I like him.

[Fundertaker]

I'LL SHOW YOU! YOU'LL SEE!!!!

(so long for anyone to post that...)

[CuJ0 Will Keep Dancing]

He get's about the same amount of love from the IWC as Val Venis...

*shrugs*

[stevierichardsfan]

hey i loeve stevie so dont doubt him*runs away crying*

[Sephiroth]

There is a bit of nostalgia in it, too. A lot of people remember his BWO days, when he was a staple act for the promotion. And yeah, the fact that he is under-utilized adds to it.

I've long wondered, who gets more love, Stevie or Jericho? Bashing either one of them is a sure fire way to get flamed.

[royboy8]

Has he been on since losing in the first round of the elimination thing to face Punk for the title?

[Real Folk Bruce]

I couldn't give two pieces of crap what he does,but he is half-decent
in the ring and on the mic,and he was kinda funny in the BWO. On these boards Stevie is considered so underrated that he is overrated. Not unlike CM Punk and Jericho.

Richards is more entertaining than a lot of the roster.

Maybe to a minority of fans, but even when he's on TV, it's not like I've heard any "Stevie" chants.

Apart from his BWO stint, the guy's just boring.

Just HOW is he more entertaining? Without Meanie or Nova flanking him he's a dud.

[thesam07]

Stevie gets love from I.W.C. because he's a beautiful person.






end of discussion.

edit/: also, i disagree that Stevie was only entertaining when in BWO. I marked out every time when he was Steven Richards in the Right To Censor. Great faction. Despite what You say "person with an opinion".
