7 Best Ways WWE Can Utilise Rumoured Returning Stars

7. Stevie Richards

One of the most underrated elements of WWE circa 2000 was Stevie Richards' work as the uptight censor Steven Richards, head of The Right to Censor, a faction of midcard stars who struck out against the inappropriate violence and sex that permeated the company's programming.

Richards was loud, obnoxious even, but he spoke with great conviction and was never anything but believable.

Even when he moved on from that gimmick, becoming the kooky boyfriend of Victoria and a staple of the hardcore division, Richards was always a great hand between the ropes.

It should be no surprise that WWE would be interested in bringing him back into the fold as it embarks on its second brand extension. While Richards is smart enough to adjust his style and still be an effective in-ring performer at this point in his career, he would better be served working in the company's Performance Center, where he can both train competitors in the ring and coach them in their development as on-screen characters.

A star for WWE, ECW, WCW and TNA at different points throughout his career, Richards has a wealth of experience to draw from. Vince McMahon's promotion has a wealth of young stars who could benefit from his expertise.
