1234-5678 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 I have no idea. Maybe Stevie is getting cut, or maybe WWE is letting him do this one shot for 3PW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted December 28, 2003 WWE allows people in the under-card who don't get many House Show appearences, to find bookings elsewhere....EXCEPT NWA-TNA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest PowerPB13 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 Maybe Stevie is getting cut Stevie: Talented, entertaining, not a hoss. Nope, can't see any reason why WWE would want to keep him around. -Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought if you were contracted as a wrestler, then you couldn't work Indies. Jerry Lawler and Al Snow are contracted announcers, so they can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought if you were contracted as a wrestler, then you couldn't work Indies. Jerry Lawler and Al Snow are contracted announcers, so they can. Dreamer has appeared in several indy promotions, including RoH. Plus I've seen him on IWA from sometime last year too. Al Snow/Lawler are technically under contract to WWE and appear on house shows sometimes, so they'd have to get clearence by WWE maybe. Remember, WWE veto-ed Lawler working for MLW show "War Games" because he wasn't suppose to be on another promotions (TV) show and MLW broke the agreement.

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 WWE probably cleared it, and Meanie is smart enough to know that Stevie as a face could still draw fans to the ECW Arena. I'll be there anyways, since I enjoyed the show yesterday, but seeing Stevie back home will be an extra added bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought if you were contracted as a wrestler, then you couldn't work Indies. Jerry Lawler and Al Snow are contracted announcers, so they can. I think there was a news item about this months ago. The WWE allows lower-card workers to take indy dates (w/ approval from the WWE, I think) to make extra money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since he spoke to the wwe to get permission to use richards couldn't he have asked for Nova as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2003 Yeah, guess what? Stevie Richards isn't that good. Just because he was decent in ECW doesn't make him any good now. And I can say, with confidence that he wasn't all that good of a wrestler to begin with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He came back from that serious neck injury and is arguably in the best shape of his life. Not to mention his enviable charisma and mic work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2003 Stevie was also booked as a clueless putz in ECW and he played it too a perfect T. He was just getting ready for a big push before he took off for WCW, and hell his PBP on the Sandman vs. Raven "old-school rules" match was fucking GODLY.

I didn't say he was one of the best workers. I said he has excellent workrate. I feel that there's a difference between the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2003 Stevie was an expert at what he did. It just may be that he is not well suited for the WWE approach to prowrestling. His comedic style is much more suited for an indy/smarter crowd, where the comedy is a bit more subtle then, "you look like a piece of monkey crap *insert mass applause here*) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
