Wrestling Legend Reveals Untold Secrets: Inside the Controversial Attitude Era Faction ‘Right To Censor’
“No [I didn’t hate it], I was just happy to have something, and when I heard that music, it’s funny, we talked about it on the first interview. When I had, well, it could be on, I was gonna say it’s never gonna make the volume whatever on [WWE] music, I stopped myself. But when I look at that, like I knew it was an opportunity.
“I knew I was on TV as a character. And even if it sucked, I had custom entrance music, I had the Titan Tron, and looking at that, Chris, that made me think back to Raven, when I was putting on the half shirt and daisy dukes telling me you’re gonna stand out. You’re completely different.
Steven Richards Remembers Right To Censor
“Nobody will ever take your gimmick from you. Because everybody wants to be tough, be a shooter, be a badass. You will corner the market on a specific type of heel, that’s the voice that I heard in my mind. When that music hit. I was like people are gonna hate us so much. This is awesome.”
“The fact that Ivory was so over as the female in the group, she was way more special than us. As a matter of fact, I would have been all for Ivory being the next leader to replace me because that’s even more heat at the time. You’re looking at a woman bossing these big guys around and a woman, she would have been the original Karen if you think about it.”
The faction was in existence for about a year and it was defunct after the Invasion angle started as the members of it became a part of the storyline. Right to Censor is not much remembered nowadays but in spite of being a lower mid card faction, it was extremely popular during its time.
