Today's News

Stevie Richards talks life after being a WWE / TNA star:

"I have no goals in wrestling. My goal is to continue to be booked, continue to be healthy, and continue to get paid to feed my cats. I have no delusions of grandeur that WWE or TNA is going to call and nor do I think at this point I would even be interested, considering the travel time versus the amount of money I'd make. Waiting for a call (from WWE or TNA) is one of the most poisonous things you can do to yourself because you're not in control of the situation."
