10 Wrestlers With 1 Great And 1 Terrible Gimmick
5. Bull Buchanan
In the early 2000s the Right to Censor stable was, for fans of the WWF, the most annoying and irritating gimmick in the company. Which was precisely the point.
Reflecting on their work shows that they were the perfect concept for a group following the Attitude Era’s debauchery: a parody of those calling for the company to censor its antics.
Bull Buchanan was the first to join Steven Richards’ new unit, which was a combination of stars who had little else to do or had particularly controversial characters in the preceding years. Buchanan had struggled in the WWF to that point as a solo star and with short-lived alliances, and he was positioned as the muscle of Right to Censor - which he took too all too happily.
Weird that his next gimmick, and his last before his WWE release, was totally the opposite. Supporting the barbs and diss tracks of John Cena, Buchanan was renamed to B-Squared (which apparently stood for ‘Bling Bling Buchanan’) and played enforcer for the break-out heel. What this essentially boiled down to was wearing a vest, nodding his head and yelling “booya”.
Cena didn’t need any muscle and was better on his own, which not only made Buchanan seem redundant, but he was also completely miscast for the role. The pairing lasted for two completely forgettable months.
