Last summer there was much speculation about Crash Ricky's 30-day suspension from the PWA. Rumors circulated that his suspension was caused due to misconduct behind the scenes. However, it appears that a neck injury sustained at the hands of Dark Venom may have actually been the reason towards Crash Ricky's refusal to return to the PWA.

Dark Venom, long time friend of Crash, executed a brutal stunner last summer shortly after he had interfered in his match against the Professor of Pain, resulting in a no contest. Several sources have indicated that infact Crash Ricky has admitted to suffering a neck injury after that exact stunner but has not indicated if that was the exact reason for his early departure from the PWA last summer.

It is evident that the future of Crash Ricky remains in question. He has talked about a possible return as of late, and if so expect him to be known only as Viper. However that is just a rumor at this time and has yet to be confirmed by PWA officials. When asked about potentially ending the career of his good friend, Dark Venom did not appear to show any remorce for what he had done stating that in the wrestling business one can't worry about such things.

If Crash Ricky does make a PWA return, it will be interesting to see if he targets Dark Venom for the brutal stunner which resulted in his serious neck injury. One can expect Dark Venom to welcome such a contest as he's done so often in the past. It should make for an interesting and intense wrestling match if such an epic battle were to occur.
