Richards had quite the career. Check out his time around the wrestling world:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that you see happen to wrestlers more often than anyone would like and that is never a good thing. Richards wrestled for a very long time and that is the kind of thing that can cause a variety of health issues. Hopefully the treatment that Richards is receiving is able to make things that much better, though back problems, assuming that is the case, can take a long time to heal, if they heal at all.
