Richard Parker
Career Highlights

Richard Parker has called every show in PRIME history from his seat as color commentator.

To Richard, the aim of a wrestling match is winning, so those doing everything possible to get the ‘W’ will earn (the closest he has to) respect. Unashamedly partisan, he'll find loophole after loophole to justify the actions of ‘his’ wrestlers. These will include any ancient by-laws of the state the show takes place in, and claiming that the camera being at just the wrong angle could make something seem illegal to those at home. Quick-tongued, those trying to argue with him will barely be able to get a word in. He comes from a background in sports journalism, from which he was fired for being overly cynical and suggesting that ‘following the rules like a bunch of Special Olympics it’s-the-taking-part-that-counts sissies’ was the downfall of teams. He appreciates the athleticism and technical nature of the sport. He’ll heap praise on a tactical armbar that the fans punish with ‘Boring!’ chants before raising so much as an eyebrow to multiple rotations and daredevil leaps with no purpose.
