Stevie Richards disclosed that Vince McMahon was bluntly honest with him regarding his career prospects in WWE. The conversation centered on Richards’ personality affecting his ability to reach higher positions in the company.
On the latest episode of The Stevie Richards Show, the former WWE performer acknowledged his talent for selling in the ring while discussing McMahon’s direct assessment of his character.
The thing that Vince McMahon had a real problem with and told me right to my face, ‘You’re not enough of an a**hole. That’s my biggest problem with you.’ So I think you put all that together and that’s why I didn’t have ruthless aggression in order.
Richards won the Hardcore Championship 21 times during his WWE tenure. The 53-year-old expressed his belief that he possessed the talent to achieve more success but was hindered by his personality traits.
Richards mentioned he appreciates that fans still wonder how his career might have developed if he had received greater opportunities in the company.
