Davey Richards has been a staple on the independent scene for most of this century. Probably most famous for his cross-promotional tag team with Eddie Edwards as the American Wolves, and a Ring of Honor run that included a World title run, Richards’ career hasn’t been without controversy. But up to this point, that controversy has largely been about not appearing for bookings or retiring multiple times.
Those issues seemed to be in his rearview the past couple years, as the 40 year old from Washington state wrestled for MLW and smaller promotions all over the world. But it’s beginning to seem he’s accused of something much worse than no showing events.

Yesterday (Mar. 16), Anarchy Wrestling announced he was off their April show
Then today, the St. Louis-based school Richards was associated with tweeted that they were no longer working with him
Shortly thereafter, Prestige Wrestling followed suit
Richards has disabled his Twitter account, and speculation was rampant about what was causing these companies to abruptly stop doing business with the wrestler. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp was the first to go on the record with more information, tweeting:
Many companies have terminated their association with Davey Richards due to violating their policies and code of conducts, due to allegations of domestic abuse.
I’ve spoken with St. Louis Anarchy, who confirmed they’ve fired Davey Richards for a violation of their code of conduct.
Richards had privately denied any allegations to several who he’d been in contact with.

Let me just say this: there are 2 sides to every story, Davey may or may not be the one at fault here as in situations like this it's always best to look at the past & we don't even have to go that far back to do it this time. Johnny Depp & Amber Heard. Everyone took Heard's side with multiple studios throwing Johnny under the bus, as it turns out he was the real victim. My point being if you're going to try and blackball someone then you better damn make sure all the facts are true and you're going after the instigator and not the victim.
