My Take
Stevie Richards, born Michael Manna, is the kind of wrestler I find endlessly compelling because he embodies the gritty, ECW-bred school of the craft. At 188 cm out of Philadelphia, he spent years putting his body on the line to get a crowd roaring. What earns my respect, though, is the reinvention: since 2024 he has hosted The Stevie Richards Show, trading the ring for the microphone. I love performers who find a second act in their own storytelling, and as a podcaster he becomes a living archive of the business. That pivot from physical spectacle to articulate commentary is a story I'll always root for.
