10 Seriously Overlooked WWE Heels

During the 'Attitude Era', who would wrestling fans hate more than those TV network executives who were trying to censor WWF programming? That was the thinking behind the Right To Censor group, a heel stable led by Steven Richards. Lost on lower-level shows like Metal and Heat, Richards was ideal for such a role.

The man's raspy voice only added to the annoyance. Young males were incensed when Richards told of his plans to rid the company of nudity, bad language and extreme violence. Recruiting the likes of Bull Buchanan, The Godfather (renamed The Goodfather) and Val Venis, the group eventually also added Ivory.

In total, RTC existed for less than a year. From August, 2000 until May, 2001 though, Richards and his merry crew were a riot as stuffy, suit-wearing heels. Even their entrance music, consisting of little more than alarms, was grating.

It's startling to think that the idea didn't last longer, Steven Richards in particular really delivered his lines with aplomb. After Right To Censor disbanded, his WWE run was never quite the same.
