The Stevie Richards Show Episode 46 | A Tribute to Sabu

This week, the wrestling world mourns the passing of one of it's true innovators. Terry Brunk, better known as Sabu, was an ECW original who truely set a standard for the hardcore style which became his signature from start to finish.  Steadfast to a fault when it came to his own gimmick and unapologetically honest when dealing with those who would cross him.  Sabu was a true icon of a generation and will be sorely missed.  In a special tribute episode of The Stevie Richards Show, Stevie and James both talk about their admiration for the legend and share stories from their time spent working with Sabu.

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 43 | Is The Rock Ruining WWE?

Of all the great many stories, rumors and news in the fallout from Wrestlemania 41, The Rock's appearance on the Pat McAfee Show has to be the most...eyebrow raising (nailed it) of them all.  What did he say? Did he even say anything at all? Is he just making stuff up as he goes? Is he passive  aggressively burying Triple H? Is he planning a hostile takeover? Or is he just full of crap? Elsewhere, what should Cody Rhodes do when he shows back up on TV? Is a heel turn and a run as the next "Paul Heyman Guy" the right move for Bron Breakker? And what can we expect from WWE's aquisition of AAA?

These are the questions, now lets see if Stevie Richards has the answers!

As Wrestlemania 41 looms, Stevie and James are taking some time to discuss what many believe to be the greatest WrestleManias of all time, WrestleMania X-Seven.  Although many look on this event fondly, you can hear how it wasn't Stevie's most enjoyable PPV he was apart of.  Stevie will also talk about what goes into creating the huge visual specticle that is the "Grandest Stage of them All", what goes on backstage and the real difference you notice when performing in sucha huge stadium.

In the news, Stevie will talk about the rather awkward promo exchange between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton and the reason Swerve Strickland is going after WWE Hall of Famer, Booker T  following AEW Dynasty.

Finally, Stevie will get into analysis mode and find out who does the greatest spear in all of wrestling before asking "What went Wrong?" between Willow Nightingale and Marina Shafir.

This week, Stevie Richards talks about the fallout of WWECW: Disember to Dismember 2006.  A PPV that speled the end for ECW as a separate brand for the WWE.  An end so bitter that it caused Paul Heyman to quit the company alll together.

The Stevie Richards Show Episode 39 | WWECW December to Dismember PPV Review

WWE's version of ECW.  Dead on arrival? Nothing short of a failure? A missed oportunity?  We can debate the above all day and night but what we can agree on is that December to Dismember 2006 was considered one of the worst PPV's either company had put their 3 letters to.  Endless promos and matches that went just too long and nonsensical stories and twists.  The WWE branded ECW would die soon after this event and become a legend all it's own.

This week, Stevie will take a look at the match card of the event and give his thoughts on how the PPV was put together, Stephanie McMahon's involvement in WWECW and if she was qualified to be involved at all and the curious matter of how and why Sabu was written off the show and WWE all together.

Elsewhere, in a new segment, Stevie will use some advanced tech to visually demonstrate how a basic tag team match is put together, we ask "What Went Wrong?" when Jey Uso flopped instead of flipped over the top rope and Stevie will also pontificate on the latest John Cena heel promo.
