During a recent appearance on the “Battleground Podcast,” Davey Richards explained how he got started working for the NWA despite having been asked to work Impact Wrestling’s Slammiversary pay-per-view event.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how he started working with the NWA: “Actually it happened — as people know, right now I am under contract with MLW. And Impact Wrestling had wanted to use me for their Slammiversary PPV, and Billy Corgan happened to be there. After my match, I was — I’m always one of the guys who does his match and then leaves right away because I have another career, I wear many hats. [laughs] So he caught me, I was like, ‘Hey, you’re coming to St. Louis.’ That’s where I’m based out of right now. And we have a really vibrant scene here. My team, Team Ambition we’re, just doing great things. And I was like, ‘You know if you need anyone else.’ And we started talking about me coming on the show and defending the MLW National Openweight Title.”
On Corgan: “He’s such a godsend to the wrestling business, because not only is he passionate about it but he’s not afraid just to pull the trigger and make things happen. Which I mean like, there’s always going to be a reason not to do something in life, you know what I mean? But he’s a guy [who’s] like, ‘Hey, we can find a way, let’s find a way.’ And it’s like, ‘My man.’ So we found a way to make it work.”
