Does anybody have the low down on why Richards didn't appear as advertised? I know if it's something controversial the Filsinger crew will take the high road, but I'd have been kind of interested in seeing a match between him and Chuck "Thantos" Taylor. I'm sure Star Warrior and Thantos was really good anyway because of how familiar those two are with each other's styles, having worked together so much over the years.
This kind of seems like one of those popular "elephant in the room" topics, as I didn't see one mention of it on the official boards when I hopped over there to check, but I know I'm far from the only person who noticed this.

I had actually forgotten about the live thing... so much about the set, not much about that.

Richards was there apparently. But not sure why he wasn't omega.

Oh there's a reason for it, but I'll not go into it. Has nothing to do with Richards being hurt (he wrestled Taylor later) Jannetty no-showed to little surprise.

Jannetty no-showed to little surprise. Out of respect to the greatest Rocker, that was the other elephant I was trying to ignore. I am really looking forward to seeing how the show turned out once the VOD and DVD are ready.

Let me guess Richards wasn't down with the whole Champions of the Galaxy vibe.

Omega was scheduled to face Death Knight in the opening match. When the match was scrapped, they switched some things around and put Beast Rider-DK on first instead.
Richards-Taylor went off as scheduled in the "Legends" part of the show.

Lol, while I love this game and some great people play, the worst shit is "Im in the know, but I'm not saying" "secretive" crap. If you know, fine, but don't get on the boards with "I know, but ain't saying". You know, just don't say anything, geez. There's many of us that, while loving the game, don't make the trek due to various reasons. I hate the "since you weren't there, can't say". Rant over

Rant on! ...although there is a delete post option that can clear up those double posts, and the need for the third "double post" post. the way the event was promoted got kind of confusing. Could not figure out for crap whether it was supposed to be taylor as thantos versus Richards as Omega at the COTG show, or not. I did know he was advertised as Omega and that he did not appear. In other news, Alex Reynolds as Wolf kind of looked like the went through the Transevolver. I don't ever recall Wolf looking so wolf-like. Maybe he was an early 20130 spoiler.....

Did he have a mask on? I've only seen one pic and he was looking down, so couldn't tell

That dude who played Massacre was a dead ringer for the character! Gotta stay on topic!
