Independent pro wrestling star says WWE "has come knocking"

Davey Richards posted a new Myspace blog in which he acknowledged that WWE has approached him. "This year many have said Ive more great matches then anyone, vs. KENTA, vs. (Bryan) Danielson, vs. SHINGO, vs. (Kenny) Omega, vs. (Roderick) Strong, etc. Even WWE has come knocking.

"But no one understands why, its not for attention I do this, its not for money, its not for notoriety. Its for my beliefs, my morals, my creed. I am a man who believes hard work must be rewarded and laziness must be punished. I've simply walked away from places before who I feel have not shared this moral with me.

"Evolve is my opportunity to not seek out big paydays, not to seek out mainstream notoriety, or to even gain attention. Evolve is my place to seek out the best, outwork them, and beat them." To read the full blog, visit Davey's Myspace.com.

Powell's POV: Obviously, Richards is promoting the EVOLVE wrestling promotion that he's starting along with Gabe Sapolsky. It's interesting that WWE has approached him, but he didn't go into any additional detail on that.
