This happened in my hometown. I was in the front row when it happened. I would have broken Stevie Richard's neck myself, but then I took an arrow to the knee
When someone asks me "how many total surgeries have you had?" I know the answer immediately. If you have to stop and think about it, you've either had a really tough life or you're a pro wrestler.
alot of guys talk about steve austins injuries (a broken neck) and of kurt angels broken neck and how he won a gold metal. and of droz's broken neck....why does noone talk of steve's injuries. he has risked his life in ECW, WWF, WWE, WCW, AND TNA....who else can say that?
Stevie deserved better in this business....i was a fan of his way back in the old ECW when he had the intentionally ridiculous mullet, and did goofy parodies with the blue meanie. it was kinda funny to see Joey Styles interview him without referring to him as a "clueless putz" lol
but he had the ability and mic skills, and as you can see here, the heart, he should be a huge star
some wrestlers retire sfter an injury like this but stevie is passionate ecw is in his blood he would never retire(Ric Flair Line)he should be in the hall of fame
Poor Stevie! I miss him in wrestling and I wish him the best of luck in the rest of his life.

It's his decision, he knew the risks - he got the glory, you can't have it all.

I never knew this happend to Richards and I can't help but feel bad for the guy
with how many surgery's hes had done to his neck. And I thought Terry Funk
and Mick Foley had it bad.

One of the best and one of the most underrated, under used and under utilized by every company that he has been in.

Steven Richards was supposed to win the ECW title the night Funk injured him I hear. Not sure if thats true though.
This interview was SUPPOSED to be the start of a upper-midcard push for Richards, but, as usual, they dropped the ball.

Richards' bad luck continues. His lung collapsed during a surgery to see what kind of lung infection he had.
Stevie has given his all to this sport and has never gotten rewarded for it. Jealous wrestlers have tried to put him out permanently.
