Malenko worked as a WWE producer between 2001 and 2019. The former WCW star was given the responsibility of approving match finishes between superstars before shows. He also informed talents about who would win and lose matches.
Speaking on Rene Dupree’s “Cafe de Rene” podcast, Richards revealed that Malenko responded sarcastically when asked who was going to win between him and Venis.
According to Cagematch.net, Venis won all 13 of his one-on-one matches against Richards in WWE between 1999 and 2004.
How Dean Malenko responded to Stevie Richards
Although Val Venis always defeated Stevie Richards in their matches, the former ECW star still thinks Dean Malenko should have shown him more respect.
He added that the long-time producer apologized after the incident and clarified that he did not mean to cause offense.
Richards added that he also had an issue with veteran producer Arn Anderson in WWE. The Hall of Famer once inadvertently made an insulting remark after Chris Masters injured him.
