Davey Richards jerks over APW show
« Thread Started Today at 10:14am »
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm normally not a poster, but my friend Knight Wagner posted this, and I thought it needed to be shared.
Knight is a pretty awesome indie wrestler based out of Davenport, IA and has worked with a lot of great promotions, including AAW.
Anyways, here it is. Take it as you will.
Apparently Davey Richards, Tony Kozina and Kyle O'Reilly were booked to appear on a show in Central Iowa called APW. After showing up incredibly late (which he does all the time on every show I've ever been on with him) Davey bullied the promoter about switching the card up. I may be wrong but I'm assuming the card got shuffled on the assumption that he wasn't showing and and they arrived too late to get put back on the card, until Davey spoke up and forced him to put them all back on. They changed into their gear, took their pay in advance and went to the car to get athletic tape, then never came back. They made off with $350.
It's serious s*** and Davey is banking on the promoter not pressing charges and getting away with it. However, there are other things to think about here and that's the internet. Davey was advertised for this event and basically no-showed, stole money and is now liking all references to it on his personal Facebook page which means he's having an ego and laughing about it.
Best thing to do here, folks, is blow it up online. Send the story to as many wrestling news sites you can. Tag people like, Brian Kelley, P.w. Ponderings and Jerome Cusson in it on Facebook (sorry Jerome and Brian, if you want to stay out of this I understand but I hope you feel the same) and spread it as hard and fast as you can. If he wants to quit in 2013, if you guys can help people get organized, you can cut that much shorter.
