http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APJ46WjZ9E0 Warning: the following slide will contain no explicit language or work of a sexual nature. Let's begin with one of the most prominent groups of the latter half of the Attitude Era. Forming under the actions of their 'leader' Steven Richards, the group consisted of current WWE 13 superstars Val Venis and The Goodfather, as well as Richards, Bull Buchanan and Ivory. Whilst Richards entered the WWE determined to eliminate all forms of nudity and excessive violence from our television screens (and 10 years later he finally succeeded), Venis and the Goodfather in particular were turning their backs on their previously 'extreme' characters. RtC experienced some reasonable success, with Goodfather and Buchanan becoming the World Tag Team Champions in late 2000, and Ivory was a long withstanding Women's Champion. Also, for any trivia buffs out there, an interesting statistic is that at least one member of the group won a PPV match between Summerslam 2000 and No Way Out 2001. Their feuds with the Dudleys, the APA and Chyna also provided some entertaining television. Fundamentally, this group was innovative in their unified opposition against what the Attitude Era stood for, and I for one would be happy to hear the sound of sirens blaring out in WWE 13. Last appearance in WWE video game series: WWF Smackdown! 2: Know Your Role (last wrestling video game featuring Bull Buchanan)
