Don Callis, a key figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), recently criticized former WWE wrestler Stevie Richards in a blunt social media post. The incident followed a video in which Richards aired his grievances about AEW talent Kyle Fletcher, prompting Callis to respond with dismissive remarks.
Criticism of Richards’ Commentary on Kyle Fletcher
In his original video, Stevie Richards outlined what he believed to be shortcomings in Kyle Fletcher’s performance and suggested ways Fletcher could improve. Callis sharply ridiculed this advice, insinuating that Richards’ input lacked value given his past wrestling career and current standing. On the platform X, Callis posted a mocking message aimed at Richards and referenced Scott Levy, a fellow wrestling veteran also known as Raven.
Mockery Targeting Richards’ Wrestling Background
Callis sarcastically described Richards’ attempt to offer guidance as akin to “Tommy Dreamer giving nutrition advice,” highlighting what he perceived as Richards’ lack of expertise. He also appeared to mock Richards’ history working under Levy’s leadership during their 1990s tenure in wrestling. The sarcasm implied that Richards’ career achievements were insufficient to justify his criticism of Fletcher or AEW’s stars.
