Forever etched in history as the first man to compete in an ECW match (way back when it was still Eastern Championship Wrestling), **Steven Richards** has had more personalities than John Cena has had World Championships.

On June 26, 2000, Stevie Richards debuted an extremely memorable character, that of **Steven Richards**, shorthaired and in a shirt and tie, reminiscent of Michael Douglas's character from the movie Falling Down. Over the next few weeks, he cut promos condemning the risqué content of WWF programming and preaching conservative values (the gimmick was a mocking reference to the Parents Television Council, which was publicly criticizing WWF content at the time). He became a full-fledged heel, formalized his name to "Steven Richards" and formed a stable known as the Right to Censor. He spoke for, managed and tag teamed with his recruits: The Godfather (renamed the Goodfather), Bull Buchanan, Ivory, and Val Venis. When Chyna was featured in Playboy magazine, Right to Censor objected, and feuded with her and her (onscreen) boyfriend, Eddie Guerrero.

The game was expected to include The Big Show in the roster. When it became apparent that he would not be returning from Ohio Valley Wrestling, he was replaced with Steven Richards.

## The Big Show

***The Big Show** redirects here, as his part in all storylines from that year are played by Steven Richards. Big Show was in Ohio Valley Wrestling at the time of No Mercy's publishing.*
