Right to Censor

The Right to Censor was a faction in the World Wrestling Federation. The group was a parody of the Parents Television Council, who were, at the time, protesting the level of violence and sexual content in WWF programming and threatening to boycott several of their sponsors.

The group was formed when wrestler Stevie Richards began to randomly appear on WWF programming to cover up the bodies of scantily clad women or remove "hardcore" weapons such as tables from matches. He was eventually joined by Bull Buchanan, The Goodfather (formerly the Godfather), Val Venis, and Ivory. The group would temporarily force The Kat in to its fold, but the Kat and the WWF parted ways before that storyline could completely play itself out.

The group had a moderate level of success, with Buchanan and the Goodfather holding the WWF Tag-Team Championship and Ivory capturing the WWF Women's Championship before entering in to a high-profile feud with Chyna. The group was finally disbanded when they lost a series of matches against The Undertaker.

Ironically, the actual function of the group was to provide storyline cover for the WWF to accede to certain wishes of the PTC, the very group the Right to Censor was intended to mock. For example, the WWF knew that the Godfather's status as a pimp and his explicit references to marijuana and his "Ho Train" were making him a liability. On an episode of SmackDown!, the Godfather fought Bull Buchanan in a match, where if the Godfather won, the Right to Censor would disband, but if he lost, Godfather would lose the Ho Train. When Buchanan won the match, not only did the Ho Train end, but by the next Raw, Godfather had "seen the light" and joined the RTC himself, now called the Goodfather. In this way, the WWF was able to tone down the content of the shows, while transferring fan resentment to a storyline faction.
