An oddly appropriate fit in 2002's wild west era for the prize considering his more recent past as a Right To Censor zealot, Steven Richards' short back and sides betrayed his extreme past even if his weapon shots served as a painful reminder of his ECW legacy.

His 21 turns as Champion were mostly amassed at house shows, though he did escape several Raws with the title in tact.
