Davey Richards Cancels All Indy Bookings Due To Injury, Surgery Required

Independent wrestler Davey Richards has revealed that he has had to cancel all his bookings for 2017 due to injury. He tweeted a statement on Twitter which said, "I can’t apologize enough to everyone but I have to cancel my remaining bookings for 2017. I am going to need surgery on Right knee."

He went on to reveal he has been battling knee issues for over a decade, "I’ve always been someone who has bore my heart inside of the ring & “kept it real” with the fans. I’ve been known to as you call it “no show” events. Truth is ( no excuse) I’ve been battling knee issues since 2006 when I tore my knee the night before my first ROH match. Cortisone shots, Anti inflammatory drugs, Stem Cell therapy, hyperbaric chambers, etc have kept me able to perform this long but not anymore."

Been emailing with Davey Richards today. His right knee exploded on him. He's out for next week. We apologize for the lineup change. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/FKsz8v96DS
