6. Has A 'Happy-Go-Lucky' Approach To Wrestling
Stevie Richards would never make it as a top-level talent in any of the promotions he worked for, but he was always regarded as a safe hand, someone company officials could rely on to piece together a solid match. Reliable workers aren't quite ten-a-penny, certainly not ones who can be relied on to get the job done on time and without a hitch. Richards was regarded as one of those men in every promotion he worked for, which is really a massive compliment to how he approaches the business as a whole. It's no secret that Stevie Richards was never going to headlining WrestleMania, but he did manage to carve out a successful career for himself, employed by all the biggest promotions in North America. Looking back on his tenure, Richards is overwhelmingly positive, feeling that he's blessed to have worked for WWE, TNA, WCW and ECW, looking upon it as a good thing that road agents knew he could get their newest project over or fill up time nicely on the program with a good match. Having no regrets must be difficult for those wrestlers who don't make it to the top, but in his own way, Richards did make it.
