| Rick Richards |
-Staff Member's Name: Rick Richards
-Staff Positions: Ringside Play-by-Play Commentator; Part-Time Reporter
-Notes: Providing
more color commentary than his partner in crime, Dave Deyo, Rick Richard's
commentating style is more informal than that of his colleague. His slightly
falmboyant style seems to have a fan appeal all its own, though, and with
it, Rick gets the job done nicely. Though he usually sides with the fan-favorites
(but not always), he tends to have a way of occasionally finding the "silver
lining" in some of Planet Wrestling's shady characters, and will occasionally
play favorites (or at least Devil's advocate) with them. Having been the
host of "Rick's Picks" (a televised editorial with his future
outlook on the fed's wrestlers and matches) in the past, Rick has (or seems
to pretend that he has) a better knowledge of fancy moves, new finisher
names, rookies, and of the secret goings-on in the federation. When it
comes to trouble with wrestlers, Rick may talk big when a troublesome wrestler
is out of earshot, but he's is a true coward at heart and might just hop
into the crowd if he feels that he's in for a closer confrontation with
a hostile wrestler.
