• The Stevie Richards Show Episode 20 | Doing The J.O.B.
    Nov 8 2024

    Jobbers. Enhancement Talents. Carpenters.

    Whichever moniker you wish to use, there is no doubt that they are the STAR MAKERS of the world of pro-wrestling. They play an important part in getting people over. Some make it their duty to make the other guy look like a million bucks. Some become legends in their own right and even though they lost more matches than they won, the fans loved them.

    This week, Stevie Richards will be talking about the importance of "doing the job" and letting another guy go over, who would complain about putting Stevie over and the RIGHT way to lose a match.

    Stevie will also be giving his opinions on the guys who deserved a bigger stage than they got, the stars who weren't allowed to shine as bright as they could, the guys who chose to push themselves and the ones who were just underutilized by the machine.

    Then, Stevie asks "What Went Wrong?" when he takes a look at what happened when Mike Blackwell decided he didn't want to do the job for The Skyscrapers. Stevie will also rank the Nicest Guys in the locker room and end the episode by analyzing Randy "macho Man" Savage's famous Elbow Drop.

    Stevie Richards surprised, entertained and informed the wrestling world in 2023 when he debuted the Stevie Richards' Wrestling Analysis YouTube channel to widespread critical acclaim. Combining his experience in the wrestling profession with his keen eye for detail and a passion for teaching fans and workers alike, Richards achieved over 100,000 YouTube subscribers in a matter of months with his short form videos explaining exactly what went right or wrong in a particular match or manoeuvre.

    With 30+ years working for nearly every major American promotion during their hottest periods (ECW, WCW, WWE, TNA), Stevie Richards is not only dusting off his patented whiteboard and marker to once again break down the psychology and physicality of this crazy business, but Stevie is now adding to his repertoire by debuting a weekly show, imaginatively titled The Stevie Richards Show.

    The "show" in The Stevie Richards Show is the key word - this will not be another run of the mill podcast recorded on Zoom, clipped up and posted 8 times a day on YouTube and featuring a disinterested ex pro wrestler out to make a quick buck. What makes The Stevie Richards Show a "show" will be the attention to detail given to every episode, including added on screen annotations, factoids, images and video and 4K camera set up to give the sharpest, best looking, broadcast quality videos on YouTube. Most importantly of all, The Stevie Richards Show's output will be about quality, not quantity. Every Friday, Stevie Richards and co-host James Romero (WSI | Wrestling Shoot Interviews, Story Time with Dutch Mantell) will discuss the latest news, delve deep into the wrestling profession with more detail and first hand experience than any other podcast, answer fan submitted questions and, yes, break out the whiteboard to break down the what went right, or wrong, in the wrestling world.

    The Stevie Richards Show Episode 19 | Becoming a Wrestling Superstar

    What does it take to become a pro-wrestlng star? This week, Stevie Richards is going into every part of a superstar's arsenal to succeed in the business. Fitness, strength, wardrobe, EVERYTHING. Stevie and James will also talk about the biled height of some wrestlers and work out how many have been lying this whole time, who has been billed too tall and who has been billed TOO SHORT? Then Stevie and James each pick a spot for this week's What Went Wrong segment. Seth Rollins' pathetic punches and Bronson Reed shaking off a Kerb Stomp on a cars hood, then its a deep dive on Yokozuna's Bonzai Drop and the differences in how it was given to those who took it.

  • The Stevie Richards Show Episode 18 | Surviving the Locker Room
    Oct 25 2024

    Following a discussion about a recent Rolling Stone article on Vince McMahon's "Culture of Fear" according to former writers, Stevie Richards opens up about not only his experiences with the writers room, creative meetings and the culture he witnessed but also his experiences backstage and the toxic culture that thrived there for many years. From being literally being kicked from a chair by a veteran and being snubbed for not shaking hands, to taboo subjects that could get you fired if you so much as mentioned them. As well as the divisive "Wrestler's Court" and those who would be banished form the locker room for the worst indiscretions, Stevie will also take a very close look at the case of Mr. Kennedy, the rising star who's WWE career may have been tanked because of one mistake in the ring.

    The Stevie Richards Show Episode 13 | Right to Censor: The Rise

    The Right to Censor faction was one of the most hated groups of all time. Clearly a parody the Parents Television Council who were against the kind of televison product the WWE were putting out at the time. But what was the creation process like for the group? Did Stevie have much say in the creative for the group? Did he have any sway over who would be part of the faction?

    While the group gained traction amd heat from the fans, there was a lot of frustration within the members of the group itself. In this first of a 2 part deep dive, Stevie will talk about the problems he faced and how it affected him and the relationship with his fellow RTC members.
