It was June 19, 2010 when Richards choke slammed Cassidy into 6 chairs enroute to becoming champion. 2 days later, Cassidy had career ending back surgery to repair the damaged caused by Richards. Cassidy says that he still has 1 good fight left in him and he is going to ignore his doctors’ orders and bring that fight to Richards on April 1 at the Kingsport Civic Auditorium.
