And now, what started off as a quick brucey bonus round but ended up being a catch-all thread to get a few mid-size names out the way, we have the members of one of the most successful teams of mid-2000 to early 2001, the team who are going to rid the WWF of the smut and gratuitous violence and nudity of The Attitude Era, the do-gooders who will wash away the evil of the modern world, they feature a former pimp, pornstar, bodyguard, o.g G.L.O.W member and former blue World order member (and apparently 21-time WWE Hardcore Champion?!), it’s the thinly veiled parody of the Parents Television Council it’s…

I had a whole thing written about each member’s careers before RTC but somehow lost it so just a poll on mid-2000 to 2001 I guess but feel free to talk about their careers as a whole inclusive and exclusive of RTC

Favourite Moment/Match
  • After an initial year of mimicking other gimmicks, Stevie (now Steven Richards) appears on the June 26th 2000 Raw wearing the classic Right TO Censor garb, and promises to “clean up” the WWF as a parody of the Parents Teacher Council a real-life pressure group protesting against the raunchy nature of the Attitude Era cover up the bodies of scantily clad women or remove hardcore weapons such as tables from matches!
  • Over the summer, Richards would recruit Bull Buchanan & The Godfather (renamed “Goodfather” repenting his pimping ways) and would have their first major match at Summerslam 2000 vs. Too Cool & Rikishi!
  • In the next month, Val Venis joins, repenting his former life as a pornstar, and the four take on The Dudleys & A.P.A at Unforgiven after RTC keep trying to censor their drinking and table smashing!
  • The Dudleys would get their revenge defeating B squared and The Goodfather in a “Tag Team Tables Invitational” match, however, Richards & Venis would defeat Chyna & Mr Ass at No Mercy 2000!
  • Buchanan & The Goodfather win the WWF Tag Team Championships vs The Hardys on RAW (November 6th 2000)
  • At Survivor Series, Buchanan & The Goodfather team up with Edge & Christian in a losing effort against The Dudleys & Hardys, however, new recruit Ivory, who recently won the Women’s Title from Lita on Smackdown in a fatal four-way with Trish & Jacqueline, defends her newly won championship vs Lita!
  • At Armageddon 2000 we get peak RTC! Val Venis beats Chyna in the neck-breaking angle! Ivory beats Trish & Molly, Buchanan & Goodfather… lose the titles to Edge & Christian in a four-way also involving the Dudleys and K-Kiwkk & Road Dogg!
  • At Royal Rumble 2001, Venis, Goodfather & Buchanan are all unsuccessful in the Rumble match, however, Ivory retains in a “match” against Chyna, who gets the Owen voice for potentially breaking her neck!
  • At No Way Out 2001, Steven Richards defeats Jerry Lawler to gain possession of The Kat and end her “Right To Nudity” movement. The storyline is dead in the water however as both Kat and Lawler would be out of the company in a week!
  • At Wrestlemania X-7 the Right To Censor after a year of relative mid-card dominance are defeated as Ivory loses the Women’s Title to Chyna in a squash match and Bull, Val & Good lose to The A.P.A & Tazz (for some reason) accompanied by Jacqueline, effectively ending their career relevance both as a group and individually from that point on.

Greatest stable of all time.

LOVED them. Well, I detested them because I was a mark back then but they provoked such a strong reaction, and looking back it’s a very clever way of getting round some outside influence on the business.

None of them were spectacular in the ring, but taking previous reprobates like Godfather and Val Venis and putting them in this stable was genius.

I remember being distraught thinking The Dudleys were joining them but it was just the old bait-n-switch.

Great times, great stable

Hard agree, bit like Regal and Angle, fuckin hated them as a kid but in retrospect they were an absolutely incredible heat magnet. Somewhat ironically Ivory is probably the most talented one?

Stevie was my guy from about 99 onwards (JUST ahead of Kanyon & Chavo). No idea why, but i was a full on Richards mark.
Stevie and Ivory were so fucking good and get nowhere near the credit they deserve.

Plus Stevie would get a 5 for the not big or indeed clever but richly deserved JBL chair shot.

It’s funny all their careers just sort of… Ended when this gimmick/arc was done

It was indeed. The fucking toxic, bullying prick was made to take it as punishment and boy did Stevie make sure he felt it*

*concussions and CTE are obviously not something i find funny. But that gross fucker couldn’t be more deserving.

Loved my unappreciated mid-carders.

Still get a bit sad about Kanyon’s horrible experiences when watching 90s WCW.

Stevie went on for ages on heat didn’t he?

15

Venis had a decent run as Chief Morley no?

16

Yeah but did it make a sound

Maybe, I don’t really know that era, was it over?

I’ll always have a soft spot for Papa Shango. He was my first ever exposure to wrestling. I saw him on a TV against a jobber and before the match began, he made the jobber bleed black stuff and I think it was a fairly quick finish. Was a bit disturbed at the time, as I was a young kid, but still it makes me think of that whole era of starting to watch wrestling

Quite enjoy how he inadvertently made Sid kick out of Hogan’s Leg Drop for the first time ever
