7 Notoriously Hated WWE Storylines (That Weren't Actually So Bad)

A lot of people hated this short-lived stable with a vengeance because it seemed to go against everything the WWE was about at the time. Namely: boobs, butts and profanity.

But the underlying beauty that so many horny dudes missed out on - amidst their blinding fury over the constant blue balls the Right to Censor provided them, no doubt - is that the group was openly mocking groups like the Parents Television Council, who continually denounced WWE in the media for their risqué and vulgar content.

By turning these pseudo-activists into characters (or rather, caricatures) in their program, they used the protests to their advantage.

The group's roster was equally inspired. Steven Richards kicked things off with his sudden anti-violence stance, interrupting hardcore matches to remove tables and trash cans from the ring. This, of course, contradicted the hyper violent acts he'd used to make a name for himself in ECW.

It was this "born again" character development that formed the foundation of the stable, and propel their storylines for the year they were together. Former porn star Val Venis, former pimp The Godfather (rechristened The Goodfather), and former ta-ta flasher The Kat were all slowly brought into the group, renouncing their debauched ways and diligently working to make audiences forget about all the tasteless things they'd done during the Attitude Era.

Not only did the RTC help its individual members evolve from characters that had grown stale, but it did so while taking the p*ss out of overly-sensitive advocacy groups.
