Former WWE star and pro wrestling veteran Stevie Richards appeared on an episode of his Stevie Richards Show, where he discussed various topics, including the impact of the scary bump WWE star JD McDonagh took during his tag team match on last week’s RAW.
Richards said, “How did he not break his neck? This is every bit as bad as that dude who did the 630 or whatever and then landed straight on his head backwards; this is the same kind of backlash.”
On the move not being needed in the match:
“This was not necessary in the least. Technically, nothing wrong, it’s a positioning error and I think [Ivar’s] … a really great guy.”
On the likelihood of a concussion:
“If you’re telling me right here that his brain did not smack up against his skull and pinball back and forth? No, no way.”
On McDonagh:
“I’m very, very impressed with the way he bumps and sells — but, that’s a double-edged sword, and I know it better than everybody else. His greatest asset is going to possibly be why he might be, at 53 years old or sooner, feeling the way I felt or more, outside of a spine infection.”
