Enigma 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 "Rick Michaels, who works regularly for Bill Behren's NWA Wildside promotion, will be joining World Wrestling Entertainment as the two sides agreed to a deal today. Behrens made the announcement on the NWA Wildside message board this afternoon. Michaels is slated to take a backstage role with the company (he has a talent for designing ring outfits) and will be on the road fulltime starting with this Monday's Raw taping in Chicago. It stands to reason they may use him in the ring at some point. Michaels is a former NWA Wildside champion and has held the NWA Tag Team championship with David Young." credit: Mike Johnson/PWInsider.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thuganomics 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 As I recall, Rick can't wrestle anymore. He seriously injures his neck a couple years back, effectively ending his career. Or so I thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 They just need the guy to sew up new black trunks for all the young up and coming hosses. How good is Rick Michaels' work as a designer? Does it have the 1990's Marty Jennety Rockers look or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted April 7, 2004 Yeah, I didn't think Rick was wrestling anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 Actually, Rick injured his spine a couple of years back. He's been wrestling on the Friday night Wildside shows that showcase the rookies coming from the Wildside Training School (run by Rick and HBK trainee Todd Sexton), but I heard he's nowhere near what he used to be. As for his ring gear...he was probably the most sought-after gear-maker on the indies, and the few guys I know for sure that he made their gear have really good-looking ring gear.

A Happy Medium 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 I think I remember this guy being an announcer on PCW shows here in Dallas. Anyways...since Choken called for it.... *puts on "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell* I think Edge needs new tights...his are SO 1999!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted April 8, 2004 Yes, a lot of the time when WWE sign new guys, they hardly ever let them work - not even at House Shows. You do have to take into consideration their training, but it still happens a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2004 If Stevie wants to continue the "Stevie Night Heat" gimmick then he should get a vest or some airbrush Jimmy Hart gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like he's going to be on Raw anytime soon... That's what I meant - they work for Heat, although they don't convey what they are probably meant to, which is him being the leader of the pack. I meant for is he was to be used on Raw as anything but a lackey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
