Ring Rust Radio recently interviewed Davey Richards. You can listen to the full interview above and read a few highlights below:
Choosing TNA vs. 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.”
Thoughts on Taker’s Streak 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 court house; 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.”
Possibility of Working Singles in the Future:
“Obviously I want to be World Champion, but that’s down the road, when it’s right. Right now and for the foreseeable future, I’m completely rejuvenated and completely putting all my stock into the Wolves and I know Eddie is too. I know there will be some time where we’ll both want our singles runs, and that’s to be expected, but I’m sure there will be a time when people don’t want to see the Wolves any more. But for now, it’s definitely all about the Wolves.”
Being World Champion:
“It’s definitely something I want to do, and I know I can do, and I know I will do, but right now I’m just focused on our tag team.”
Someone He’d 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.”
