I answered the question in this thread about Davey Richards a couple of days ago:

It's got me thinking about Richards and what might have happened to him had he not burned his bridge with New Japan. If I'm remembering correctly he seemed to be really over with the fans and the company seemed to be very high on him. How far do you guys think he would have gone if he hadn't done what he did?
I'm thinking he would have eventually been moved up to heavyweight. He probably wouldn't have gone as high as having a run with the main title. I can see him being in the range of NEVER Openweight and Intercontinental title runs though.
