Richie was a very good student in school, and while attending middle school (Collins Middle School) his report card stated that he was failing a class, but Richie was smart and kept every paper he got back, and when the report card read that he failed, he took all his papers to the principle, the teacher got in trouble, and he passed the class.[1]
He graduated Oak Hill High School and the Fayette Plateau Vo-Tech on June 2, 1989, little did he know 18 days later, he would be starting a legendary career.[1]
Richie went to go see his dad after he graduated, he went up to Canada at a wrestling show on June 20, 1989 for Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling that was run by Emile Dupre. Emile was a guy short, and Richie knew little about the business, but did not want to let his father down, so he wrestled. That day was the beginning of one of the most legendary Indy-Wrestling Careers ever. On June 20, 2011, he will have wrestled for 22 years.
