| The Stevie Richards Show Episode 40 | Uncomfortable Truths | 04 Apr 2025 | 02:23:33 | |
This week, Stevie Richards talks about the fallout of WWECW: Disember to Dismember 2006. A PPV that speled the end for ECW as a separate brand for the WWE. An end so bitter that it caused Paul Heyman to quit the company alll together. Also, Stevie speaks to the recent comments made by Justin Credible after he appeared on Maven Huffman's YouTube channel where he was confronted with his own reputation in recent years. And, in this week's "What Went Wrong?" segment, Stevie will review the utter botchfest courtesy of FTR and Undisputed Kingdom before talking about "What Went RIGHT?" for a change when he analyses the post match antics of Gunther and the Uso brothers in WWE.

| The Stevie Richards Show Episode 39 | WWECW December to Dismember PPV Review | 28 Mar 2025 | 02:35:59 | |
EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/bwo Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! The Stevie Richards Show Episode 39 | WWECW December to Dismember PPV Review WWE's version of ECW. Dead on arrival? Nothing short of a failure? A missed oportunity? We can debate the above all day and night but what we can agree on is that December to Dismember 2006 was considered one of the worst PPV's either company had put their 3 letters to. Endless promos and matches that went just too long and nonsensical stories and twists. The WWE branded ECW would die soon after this event and become a legend all it's own. This week, Stevie will take a look at the match card of the event and give his thoughts on how the PPV was put together, Stephanie McMahon's involvement in WWECW and if she was qualified to be involved at all and the curious matter of how and why Sabu was written off the show and WWE all together. Elsewhere, in a new segment, Stevie will use some advanced tech to visually demonstrate how a basic tag team match is put together, we ask "What Went Wrong?" when Jey Uso flopped instead of flipped over the top rope and Stevie will also pontificate on the latest John Cena heel promo.

| The Stevie Richards Show Episode 28 | WWE Raw Netflix Debut Reviewed | 10 Jan 2025 | 02:17:32 | |
The Stevie Richards Show Episode 28 | WWE Raw Netflix Debut Reviewed WWE moving it's flagship show, RAW from Cable TV to streaming is a huge change which has been hyped for weeks and months. There has been a lot of rumor and speculation about what to expect from the progamme with the move: A different style of content? Harsher language and violence? Better stroylines? Longer shows? The question now is, did WWE deliver? Why change the ring canvas and fill it with sponsors? Why have a 3+ hour show with only 4 matches? How did one man kill two possible storylines in one night? Was this just a one off with WWE celebrating the move to Netlix with a "Rah! Rah! Go Team!" style production? Or is this what we can expect from WWE RAW moving forward? This is what Stevie will be thinking about on this episode. Stevie will also be conductiong a detailed review of the main event of Seth Rollins vs CM Punk in this week's analysis segment and in "What Went Wrong?", Stevie will demonstrate the right way (and the wrong way) to take CM Punk's GTS.

| The Stevie Richards Show Episode 22 | Paul F'n Heyman | 22 Nov 2024 | 03:08:09 | |
The Stevie Richards Show Episode 22 | Paul F'in Heyman In this episode, we are talking about one of the most polarizing figures in the world of professional wrestling. A man whose name is synonymous with both revolution and controversy. In 1993, Heyman took control of what was once Eastern Championship Wrestling and transformed it into a hardcore,rebellious promotion that will forever change the landscape of the industry.It was a breeding ground for innovation and giving rise to legends like Tommy Dreamer, Raven, The Sandman and many others. Under Heyman's leadership, the promotion became a sanctuary for the outcasts, the misfits and the wrestling fans who wanted something raw and something real. But while Heyman may have been a visionary for his time, running ECW was not without its fair share of scandals. Behind the scenes, Ecu's finances were a disaster, for Heyman's passion for the product was undeniable, but his ability to handle the business side was far less successful. From bouncing checks to lying to his talent about payments, many of the roster members were left in the dark, literally and financially. As the promotion struggled to stay afloat. The company's eventual collapse in 2001 was a direct result of these financial mismanagement issues.Despite all the passion and energy Heyman poured into his promotion, by the time he went under the unpaid wages, the broken promises and the bouncing checks had left a bitter taste in the mouths of many who have worked for him. Today we discuss the legacy of Paul Heyman. Welcome to episode 22 other Steve Richard Show. 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.

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.

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?

| The Stevie Richards Show 12 | Has Wrestling Gone Too Far? | 13 Sep 2024 | 02:33:52 | |
This week, Stevie Richards focuses on weapons in wrestling and just how far is too far. "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland used wooden splinters, staple guns, cinder blocks, chair shots to the head and a syringe in the mouth in the AEW All Out 2024 unsanctioned cage match main event. In fact, most everything but the cage they were wrestling in! So why use all these weapons in one match? Is any chair shot, no matter how "gimmicked", worth the risk? Why ever use a real cinder block to take slams on? On the theme of foreign objects, Stevie also ranks every single weapon that's been used on him, from fire extinguishers to thumb tacks to baseball bats to cookie sheets to ladders and everything in between. And in a special video analysis segment, Stevie discusses the time he worked with a prop taser in TNA wrestling Abyss, only to find out that the prop taser hurt more than the real one! Elsewhere, Stevie reacts to Hulk Hogan comparing himself to Chris Benoit in possibly the stupidest sentence he's ever uttered on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, as well as Kevin Nash getting all jelly over Logan Paul's contract and "not being one of the boys" only to get thoroughly trashed by Logan Paul himself the day after. That naturally leads Stevie to asking the question - who really is the better wrestler, Kevin Nash or Logan Paul? You want the answers? Stay tuned! The Stevie Richards Show debuts on YouTube and all podcast platforms on Friday, June 28th. | |||

The Stevie Richards Show 8 | 5 Star Matches The 5 Star Match has become a huge talking point in the wrestling community.

This week, Stevie Richards will take a look at, what HE considers 5 Star Matches, explain what criteria is met and why some matches don't make the cut.

| The Stevie Richards Show 2 | The Money and The Miles | 05 Jul 2024 | 01:53:16 | |
The Stevie Richards Show returns with a brand new show starring Stevie Richards himself, but it’s the first proper episode of the show after episode 1 somehow only ended up talking about news stories! The Stevie Richards Show episode 2 features The WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA and ROH veteran doing some deep dives on the true nature of what WWE’s “downside guarantee” contracts truly mean, what you can and cannot do while under a WWE contract, payment for injuries and more. Elsewhere, Stevie breaks down exactly what he earned in WWE and how much he ended up spending while on the road with WWE on hotels, rental cars, food, drink, hotels and more. How much money was Stevie left with at the end of the year? Mr Richards reveals all, with a little help from the trusty whiteboard. Speaking of whiteboards, episode 2 of The Stevie Richards show features not one, but two segments on the whiteboard this week, with a return to the wrestling analysis as Stevie re-examined the Bret Hart vs Goldberg StarrCade 1999 match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The kick that Goldberg landed on Bret would give him a concussion that would see Bret eventually hang up his boots and retire a couple of weeks later, but we also look at various head trauma Bret suffered before and after the kick and Stevie asks the question: Did the kick solely end Bret Hart’s career? Is Goldberg truly at fault? Are they just a pair of marks who can’t let go of the past? That might be a bit strong, but it’s an excellent deep dive. Stevie also tackles Kevin Nash’s complaining about CM Punk taking time off to rehab his torn triceps (again) - is Nash complaining because he’s bitter or because he hates CM Punk? And to top it off, Stevie looks at the world’s WORST babyface who, thankfully, has finally turned heel. But before she did, Stevie takes a look at some of the pretty mean spirited stuff she said in recent interviews and wonders how she was ever thought of as a babyface in the first place!
