The Stevie Richards Show Episode 18 | Locker Room Bullsh*t

Stevie needs to realise he is more than enough. He is a very smart guy. He’s kind caring to Fans , an extravert. He has an enormous amount of wrestling experience. He’s a veteran. He’s well liked and respected by a lot of his peers and has worked in every company. He’s a solid worker and is very successful in everything he does. That to me is a role model and a adaptable legend. Stevie if you’re reading this ,you’re a legend brother. Much respect. 😊

[@simplyhuman2213]

Good heart too

[@amg4150]

@@simplyhuman2213 big time. He’s a really nice guy.

[@SomeGuy-mt4hq]

I agree but the extrovert thing is a bit random, doesn't really fit and is also a blatant lie. He literally says in this episode that he's an introvert...

[@amg4150]

@@SomeGuy-mt4hq it wasn’t a lie. If he’s an introvert so be it. The point I was trying to make is he’s genuinely a very nice guy.

Favorite podcast of the week. Love the length of stevies show The #1 English James

[@CeemPlay]

Stevie appreciates his James is the difference between Rene & his James

[@Bino9898]

Hearing JBL back down immediately when someone actually accepted his invitation to fight is peak JBL 😂

[@FundamentallyFlawed]

So glad the YT algorithm led me to this channel! I had no idea Stevie had a show. I've been living on the west coast for over a decade, and Stevie reminds me of so many of the cool guys I knew back in Philly. Great show!

[@Iamtheendoftheworld]

That’s so crazy because he reminds me of many guys I’ve met in the west coast at skateparks 🙏 I mean that with complete love and respect btw

[@ShawnPhillips0531]

Stevie’s audio is so good dude is giving it his all for the show

[@Billy-ng4ih]

This podcast is everything that Café De Rene wasn't. Well produced,professional and entertaining.

[@Steven-rp8zo]

KYV = know your value. Most workplaces have a narcissist bully who will test you. It's good to calmly speak up and let them know you are not the one. Once you are identified as the victim, others will treat you accordingly. Once you stand up most of the time they realize you are not an easy target and they move on. It helps to study narcissism and know some sort of martial art, just to give you confidence. Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai helped my confidence a lot!!! You always hear about the Steiner brothers ribbing other guys except notice nobody ever played a rib on Stevie Ray or Booker T.

[@david-468]

They didn’t prank those guys because they had political power, you have no clue how the world works outside of soyboy bJJ

[@leorocker180]

This was a great episode, you guys have been on a row lately....Stevie unlike so many other veterans, isn't afraid to get real and tell it like it is

[@BBallBios-gh2cb]

We definitely need a HCTP season mode with Stevie playing as himself.

[@k_gene2816]

He’s the world champion with 93 overall on mine

I've been a fan of Stevie for years and it's great to know that he's a solid person after following his podcast.💯💪🏾

[@GulfCoastNihilist]

02:21:35 Randy Orton was named on that Signature Pharmacy list in 2007 and he infamously wasn't suspended, but the other 10 people (including Kennedy) were.

[@gerardovega4641]

I remember that. Somehow randy mentioned something like it was a mistake and it was a year ago that happened. Or something like that. I clearly remember that part lol😂

[@VirgilZandig]

​@@gerardovega4641I think the justification was that he'd already been suspended for a wellness violation during the period he was buying from them. I think.

[@priestfan81]

They couldn't suspend him, because per company rules at the time, they'd have had to fire him. He'd already been suspended twice, allegedly for drugs and treatment of a female performer.

[@OomaGooma]

I’m really digging these 2+ hours long videos. Great stuff, fellas.

[@snattlerake4417]

This is easily the best wrestling podcast with an English cohost named James.

I totally get where Stevie is coming from about not being comfortable around others, feeling like I don’t belong or fit in anywhere.

Orton's account of what happened with Kennedy sounds a lot like Hogan being "paralyzed" by the Undertaker.

[@hopeflorence6748]

@MGPW i agree with you. The video shows Orton had a more legit complaint than Hogan

[@One.Zero.One101]

@@hopeflorence6748 Nah I actually think that was Orton's fault. Kennedy did everything right. It was Orton who over-rotated instead of taking it flat-back.

[@hopeflorence6748]

[@antomate]

Stevie is, hands down, the most honest wrestler right now. Always enjoyed his work - the one thing he has over a lot of wrestler pod-casters right now is that he is genuine and tells it as it is...really, really enjoying this podcast much, much more than I ever expected to. Thanks Stevie and thank YOU James...congrats on d'new arrival.

[@DallytheWop]

Man, Stevie, I just love your show. You really seem like a genuinely cool dude and you have great stories and insight into wrasslin'. You and James have great rapport and it's just such an enjoyable listen/watch

[@Hunty_Mo]

Wasn't it Scott Steiner that said he would only show up for a piss test, it Triple H did, too? 😂

Needed this today! Man, I had hundreds of hours into my NFL 2K5 franchise. Remember the unlockable Darts minigame for your "Crib" in that game?! And the custom soundtracks

I had 100s of hours in franchise myself! I'm about to have a bunch more with the 2k24 mod, if you haven't seen it you should check it out, brings a whole new life to the game, as if it needed it lol it's crazy!!!!!!!!!!

[@gregoryharlow1347]

You're quickly becoming my favorite wrestling channel. I love the long format and how you break it down by category within the video. Your ring construction vid is one of the coolest wrestling podcasts I've heard in 15+ years of listening.

[@patrickdoherty4527]

Really like Stevie. He's such a genuine and insightful guy. That wwe environment sounds like the most toxic environment ever. They all sound like a bunch of immature, overly sensitive bullies.

[@WWESNUMBER1]

I love this podcast... something about Stevie and James is so relaxing and real.... Cheers fellas from Ottawa Canada

[@Gordonislander]

My new favourite podcast, sorry show about wrestling on KZbin. Stevie's analysis and his and James banter is excellent. Keep up the good work lads.

[@CeemPlay]

Sad to see Steve is persona non grata in WWE & AEW

[@YahBoiiTroy]

It unconscionable. Stevie has always been a favorite of mine, way before I saw how honest, cool, and well spoken he was in shoots. This is who you’d want showing young people how to operate, and his humbleness puts him all the way over.

[@BrentonTheLegend]

Probably better this way anyway, now be doesn't have to worry about stepping on anybody's toes, the analysis portion of these podcasts clearly benefits from that.

[@One.Zero.One101]

@@BrentonTheLegend Agreed. Some podcasters are clearly trying to get a job or are still under legends contract so they walk on eggshells when discussing taboo subjects. I feel there is much more freedom in Stevie's analysis.

[@roninwaveman]

When I was a young man I wanted to be a professional wrestler. I'm glad I didn't pursue that. Seems like most wrestlers are insecure, ego maniacs that are always looking for a reason to be offended.

[@shaolin1derpalm]

This is a dual edge episode. It's a great episode but now I hate all the top guys .

[@boraonline7036]

My cents why this "High school cafeteria mentality" worked and also how Vince treated the wrestlers: Most wrestlers hadn't a "Plan B". So they wanted to keep their jobs. So they took the humilation and jumped through all that weird loops of backstage politics. Because I agree with James. As an adult I should have enough dignity and proper mentality to devicide and think different. It's chils play among adults and that's the most weird thing about WWE politics, starting by it's (former) boss.

[@davidbroeringmeyer3089]

I always try to leave shows early, because if I stay to the end I have to keep track of every hand I shook for fear of missing one and offending somebody. If I leave early, I only had to get every hand that saw me leave.

Excellent episode. Somehow the show just keeps getting better.

[@williamschristopher12]

So Stevie can’t even mention AEW in any capacity whatsoever? Man that’s brutal…Stevie should just perform all the “what went wrong” moves on the co-host Great episode!

[@webstranauts]

Retro gaming is still pretty big as well. Stevie should spend some time talking about his experience with the retro consoles through out his life. Stevie was an adult through all of that, where as I think a majority of his viewer were probably fairly young during the 90's. He could better explain the culture of those days. I would love to pitch him ideas, and can't wait for the channel to drop!

Smackdown 2 was great because I would literally end up making most of the wrestlers into RTC members in the "create a superstar" feature by just changing the clothes.

[@charlescomeauxjr9037]

I was in Crowley Louisiana an 11 years old, and I got to shake one of the Fantastics hands. I never forgot how weird that weak handshake was. I later heard about the handshake. I heard it's between wrestler's. I have shaken two maybe 3 men's hands that didn't grab my hand. I usually get my fingers cracked when I shake a guys hand.

[@toddbrantley7378]

Another great episode Stevie. Locker room etiquette or rules has always been odd to me. It can be cool or laid back, but can also be a real mind**** because there are so many things you can get heat for that's beyond ridiculous to me. Side note, it's ridiculous to me (if true), that you can't or not allowed to mention AEW on your show. Anyway keep up the great work and looking forward to many "future episodes."

I very much enjoy these kinds of videos. I'm a former wrestler and referee on the KY independent circuit. Glad I never made it to the WWF. Cause I would've been there at the time maybe when Stevie was there and I would've hated it. I worked from 1996 to 2013.

[@TravelatorH8r]

Stevie I love your positive demeanor I think it's what the internet needs because you come with it everyday . I think it's inevitable you have to do a tech Channel I mean so much goes into the show with software audio engineering plus your love for modding . I'm sure 60% of your time goes into the engineering aspect of this show, so why not make this show also about that? But I digress, that's my vote love you Stevie and James love the show thank you

[@ErnieCT1987]

I do draw a line at being humble and putting oneself down. They are not the same. And though I get you not wanting to make it seem like it was about you being right, nothing justifies somebody kicking you out of your chair. I'm not saying you live up to the ideal of a perfect person (nobody can or should have to), but you never deserved that. Ever. I kind of feel bad for Dean Malenko for not feeling secure enough to tell you in another way, but he had no right to treat you like that. Period. Also, I am so happy that you didn't "get very far" there. The world is a much better place with you being as you are now. The world is temporary. Love is forever.

I cant wait until you guys start interviewing people.

[@SoylentGreeeen]

Very interesting to hear Stevie talk about Vince's relationship to wrestlers. Can't help but think of some fickle god that you're trying to read the mood of or sway in your favor through his following of priests. Of course he didn't mean for you to be let go, he likes you, it was just one of the writer's fault! Whenever these WWE legends speak in his defense now, after everything that's come out, I can't help but think they are victims too, and I remember what Punk said in that interview: that Vince always seemed to try to be a father figure to him (and other wrestlers). I suppose when your whole career depends on that man's whims and he takes a liking to you must feel so blessed.

[@SteveC23]

This was another great episode

[@poiudndudbbd]

Considering what Stevie said early on in the interview about backstage being told how to behave towards people, i suspect Randy and others were told to be cold towards Kennedy and give enough complaints about him so they could fire him

[@chrisp1946]

Do you think that if Randy let go of the headlock that Kennedy might have lost the correct grip due to the jersey?

[@DustinTanner-c8b]

I'm a addict myself and have been since I was 16, I'm now 42. My beast has always been pain pills.My father was ultra abusive and afterwards he would feed me oxycotin 80s and at a young age I found out what withdrawal was. Now fast forward and here I am very tired of the same thing every time I run out of medicine. Everyday I pray that I can get all the way clean and find out what it's like to live a sober life of some kind. After years of the brutal beatings I took my body is really busted up and the pain never goes away but at this point I'm only taking things to help me with my mental pain. This is the first time I ever let this out for anyone to see but the one thing I want to stand out about what I'm writing is that I am still here. I never gave up and fought to still be here today so to anyone reading this looking for hope, not giving up is a huge victory in the battle of addiction keep swinging. You can't win the game if you give up in the 8th inning. Hang in there and you just might hit the game winning home run.
