Richie Steamboat has been wrestling in FCW since December of 2009. Although Richie has only been on the professional wrestling scene since 2008, he has been able to travel the world to learn the craft. Richie has trained and toured with World Level Wrestling (owned by wrestling legend Harley Race), Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan, World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico, and All Star Wrestling in England. With a wrestling style that has a good mix of striking, arial attacks, and submission holds, Richie looks to be a solid pick for WWE stardom. A handful of his moves will look very familiar to wrestling fans, as they were staple maneuvers used by his father, the wrestling hall of famer Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. Richie is a former FCW Florida Tag Team Champion.
Here are some thoughts from Team Minor Threat about their round 9 Rookie Draft pick:
"Team Minor Threat made Richie Steamboat their rookie selection based on a variety of factors: first he is the son of Ricky the Dragon Steamboat and to carry on the father's name and legacy means a lot...second before joining the WWE developmental territory FCW, Richie traveled all over the country and all over the world paying his dues and gaining experience with a variety of styles. Couple that international flavor with the development he is receiving in FCW and that's a plus."
