1	* In 2000, he was named the third "Most Hated Wrestler" by ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated.'' Why is being ranked #3 so significant? Because #1 that year was ''Wrestling/KurtAngle'', #2 was ''Wrestling/TripleH'' and #4 was ''Wrestling/JeffJarrett.'' All three guys were World Champions that year and were pretty much the most significant heels of the year. Richards didn't even hold a title that year[[note]]''Right to Censor'' won Tag Team Championship at some times in 2000, but [[Wrestling/CharlesWright The Goodfather]] and Bull Buchanan were the ones holding the belts[[/note]] and was strictly a midcarder. That's a testimony to what a tremendous heel he was in his role as the BigBad of Right to Censor.
2	* The Right to Censor gimmick itself is worth mentioning. Much like Bill Alfonso's role in ECW in 1995 as the LawfulEvil referee who angered the fans by attempting to enforce the rules in a promotion that largely ignored them, RTC angered the fans by depriving them of what they wanted to see (essentially, sexy Divas and violence). The difference between Fonzie and RTC was that RTC would tell the audiences that they were bad people for wanting to see sleaze.
