I just saw him on Heat, and damn, his ring intro, well, just sucks.
Don't get me wrong, he's a decent wrestler. And when he's allowed to, he can be really funny.
Oh well, just rambling...
Glass ceiling, man. Stevie rules, they're just mishandling him. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that HHH is personally threatened by the talent that is Stevie, and so works to hold him down.
Using a key to gouge expletives on another's vehicle is a sign of trust and friendship.
Stevie doesn't really suck, the guys the WWE has stuck him with do however suck. Stevie could be a great character in the midcard if the WWE turned him lose a little.
Actually, it's my recollection that Richards was booed more during the RTC angle than he had been at any other point in his WWF career.
When they were winning all the time, that is. The losing streak started to kill their heat, and eventually killed RTC entirely.
I never saw Richards in ECW, and saw him only briefly in WCW, so I can't really comment on his stint in either of those two federations.

This is Dusty Rhodes's son we are talking about. He is not Eddy Guerrero or The Rock by comparison of second generation stars, but just a level below, and definitely not David Flair.
"Business has just picked up" says JR. Then right on cue, Molly enters the arena! Never was JR any better in introducing someone. --Raw 7/15
David Flair is supposedly pretty good now, for what that's worth.
Also, that powerslam is Goldust's new finisher! (laughs) Seriously...it is.
As for Steven Richards, he's exactly where he should be. The guy has some talent, he makes me laugh with his craziness, but he shouldn't be any higher than he is. His character just isn't strong enough for it...that and he's such an injury risk.
I've like Richards lately too. I mean if ANYONE but Goldust had beat Richards I wouldn't hear any complaints. If Richards beat RVD, "Man, Richards ain't on RVD's level!" Richards beats Jeff, "There went Jeff's push!" Richards beats Booker, "WHY, WHY, WHY!? I mean BOOKER!? He beat BOOKER!? WHY!?" So, frankly, it works like this, WWE has too many stars. Too many people to worry about some guy (who I like remember) who's biggest shebang in the fed was wearing white socks and talking about the WWE being too riske.
Plus, he's on TV. A lot of Bossman/Godfather fans can't say THEIR favorite wrestler is on tv. So, he a jobber, but he's good at what he does!

I am the consumer and your product is not living up to my expectations. I could open up an Andrew Gilkison message board and cry about it, but that's a waste of my time. In the meantime, I would suggest you work on improving your product. Thank you.
Watching RAW and Smackdown doesn't cost anymore than your posts do. And so, like a good consumer, I'm tuning you out.

I think Stevie is very, very good. He can wrestle. He can talk. He can draw major heat when given the opportunity -- not that he often is. What's not to like? I suspect he may not be higher up the card because he's too thin. You know what Vince likes.

Stevie tends to get injured often which is a real shame because he is good. They should start working him out as an announcer part time and switch him to full time when he decides to hang up the boots.
