MVP: Stevie Richards’ Assessments Are Wrong, Kyle Fletcher Comes To Me All The Time For Advice

MVP responds to Stevie Richards’ recent comments about Kyle Fletcher and AEW.

Earlier this month, Stevie Richards stirred up some controversy after making comments about AEW and Kyle Fletcher, specifically saying that he doesn’t think that there is anyone in the company that Fletcher can learn from.

Speaking with TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast, MVP responded to Stevie Richards’ comments, saying that his assessment of the situation is wrong. MVP also revealed that Fletcher comes to him frequently and asks him for advice on promos and matches.

“I like Stevie Richards, I would consider him somebody that I get along great with but his assessments are wrong. Kyle Fletcher comes to me all the time and asks me advice on promos. Periodically, he’ll come and ask me to watch a match and I’ll give him feedback. I will volunteer feedback to anyone that asks for it. I don’t go around to talent offering it, but if they seek me out and ask me for my 20 years of experience based advice, I will give it to them. My nickname for Kyle Fletcher is superstar because he looks like a star, but he’s still young. He’s got a lot to learn. I don’t think any of us at his age had it figured out yet and that would include Stevie. To say that there’s no one there to mentor him, I wouldn’t call Edge no one. I wouldn’t call Christian no one. I wouldn’t call Shelton Benjamin or Bobby Lashley no one. I think there are quite a few people there that can teach him quite a bit. His aptitude is pretty good, there are certain things you just got to remember. There’s also youthful exuberance and the young guys still want to go out there and do things that from a veteran standpoint several years down the road I don’t think they need to do. I think sometimes they do things gratuitously but it’s their road to travel. It’s for them to learn.”

MVP continued on and said that Fletcher is someone who is looking for advice because he wants to get better.

“We all grow at our own pace, but I like Kyle a lot. He’s a smart kid. Thoughout wrestling, you’ll have young guys that ask veterans for advice because it’s the thing to do. Then you’ll have youngsters that ask veterans for advice because they genuinely want to apply it and get better and grow. I think Kyle is one of those guys.”
