10 best current wrestlers you have never heard of

#6 Davey Richards

Looks can be deceiving. Richards is a great wrestler

If Davey Richards were half a foot taller and 40lbs heavier, there’s no doubt that he would’ve not only been signed by WWE to a full-time contract, but he’d probably have been quite successful, too.

Richards is a fantastic wrestler, and he proved this in both singles and tag team competition. He has won many championships all around the world in promotions such as CZW, NJPW, PWG, ROH and TNA. One would have to be incredibly talented to be booked to win championship gold in all of these promotions. That just shows you how good of a wrestler Davey Richards is.

To prove how good Richards is, consider the following: Richards is one of only two non-Japanese men not signed to WWE to have had a 5-star singles match in over a decade. Richards had a 5-star match with Michael Elgin at an ROH show in 2012, which was a testament to his abilities.

This led to Richards signing a developmental contract with NXT, but sadly it didn’t lead to anything beyond a single shot at the NXT Tag titles. However, despite being in his mid-30s, there might still be a chance Richards would return to WWE, now that he has obtained even more experience and qualifications proving his talent.
