Current TNA wrestler Davey Richards recently spoke with Donald Wood of Ring Rust Radio about
a variety of topics. Check out the interview down below:
What’s the Legacy He Wants to Leave:
“I want to be someone who tried to bring life to pro wrestling. There’s a lot
of people who are just out for themselves and their characters and just people
I wouldn’t consider good people and it’s good to see good people that work are
come out on top like Bryan at WrestleMania or me and Eddie Edwards and there’s
a bunch of others. I want to be someone who tried to help other people and who
inspired people and things like that. If I can leave that I’m not concerned
with how much money I make or how big of a star I become, more or less just
someone who people could be inspired and motivated by I guess would be what I
would like to leave behind when I’m gone.”
Thoughts on the Undertaker’s Ending:
“Records are made to be broken, that’s the biggest thing. I mean, when there’s
any big change people just crap on it, but I read something online that said he
chose it and I mean, he looked like an old guy in the ring because the guy’s
been around forever and has done everything. He’s made a ton of money, he has
the legacy, apparently he’s got an awesome character that will live forever, so
I doubt he went home and started crying, I’m sure he’s not at the courthouse;
he’s loving life. I think they could have picked a better guy to end the
record, but I don’t work there so it doesn’t matter, it’s good for both of
them.”
What Led Him Choosing TNA over WWE:
“I never really wanted to go to WWE. The tryout there was awesome. It was
really fun and I can’t say enough good things and I learned a lot, but I told a
few of the guys during the initial tryout with Eddie that this was not for me
just because moving down to Orlando is not what I wanted to do and wrestling is
not the only thing I want to do with my life. To give up everything and just
live in that world is not my idea of a great life or a perfect life. TNA
offered me to be able to wrestle with some of the best wrestlers in the world,
I could be on television, I could go and entertain crowds but I could still
come home and be Wes. I could be Davey, then I could be Wes. It was just better
for me and I couldn’t be happier in TNA, it’s been great.”
Who would he like to see in TNA:
“Michael Elgin. I would definitely like to see Michael Elgin. And you never
know, you just might. I’m going to leave that at that, but that’s definitely
the one person I had a lot of fun working with and have a lot of respect for.”
