Richards landed a vicious steel chair shot to JBL’s head during the July 7, 2005, episode of SmackDown. Although he intentionally hit the former WWE Champion in the head, Richards did not mean to connect with so much force.
Speaking on Rene Dupree’s “Cafe de Rene” podcast, Richards revealed that he and JBL worked together with WWE’s website after the show. Both men tricked people, including The Undertaker, into thinking they had real-life issues.
Richards told WWE’s website he purposely hurt JBL as revenge for busting open The Blue Meanie during an in-ring brawl. In reality, the former Right to Censor leader spoke to JBL after the chair shot incident and they agreed to continue the story online.
What did The Undertaker say to Stevie Richards?
Although The Deadman did not aggressively confront Richards, he still spoke to the former ECW star about his situation with JBL.
The WWE icon politely warned Richards he needed to be more careful in the ring due to the company’s number of injuries.
Richards also said in the interview that he “lost a great deal of respect” for Arn Anderson in WWE. The veteran producer allegedly made a derogatory remark about him after he competed in a match against Chris Masters.
