5 Former WWE Superstars: Where are they now?

#3 Stevie Richards

Whatever happened to Stevie Richards?

Stevie Richards has left behind quite the wrestling legacy. He was the first man to compete in an ECW match and went on to create one the most popular factions in company history. To this day “Big Stevie Cool” still sells a ton of bWo shirts whenever he hits a wrestling event.

He was no slouch in WWE either, forming the universally hated but successful "Right to Censor" faction. He held the Hardcore Championship on 21 different occasions. Richards spent 9 years with WWE after undergoing neck fusion surgery, which was only one of 29 times Richards would go under the knife. He credits his fitness and nutrition for getting him through it all. It was that passion for fitness that led Richards to find his next passion in life - helping others achieve their fitness goals.

Richards recently caught up with our own Gary Cassidy.

He still wrestles at the occasional Indie event, but these days Richards makes his living as a physical trainer. He was one of a lead trainers at the DDP YOGA Performance Center before starting his own brand - Stevie Richards Fitness.

He also has a very popular Youtube Channel where he uploads everything from workout tips to the latest technology information, and even streams video games. He also contributes to a conspiracy theory podcast, if you're into that sort of thing.
