Steven Richards, Val Venis, Randy Orton and Vince McMahon

Question
Why don't Steven Richards (Michael Manna) and Val Venis (Sean Morley) wrestle very often on Raw? Did Randy Orton really hurt his shoulder at WrestleMania and have surgery on it? What's the status on Vince McMahon's injury and how did he get hurt at the 2005 Royal Rumble in the first place?

Answer
Hi Shane,

Sorry for the delay, I'm in the process of moving house.

Steven Richards and Val Venis aren't considered good enough probably. The 'Heat' and 'Velocity' style shows are like a testing ground for the WWE to find out whether wrestlers are getting over with the crowd or not. Richards and Venis are probably there to put over new talent.

Yes, Orton has a shoulder injury but believe it happened on Monday Night Raw, not Wrestlemania. Vince McMahon blew his right knee getting into the ring - I'm sure he will cope, lol.

Thanks for your question, Shane.
