- Had a gimmick in which he wore a suit and censored inappropriate things, such as language and nudity. He started this gimmick by censoring a stripping Terri Runnells.
- His "censor" gimmick started when Vince McMahon wrote a letter to the head of the PTC, threatening that if the PTC didn't back off from making sponsers pull out of Smackdown!, he would create a character making fun of him, mimicing him in every way. When the PTC didn't back off, he "repackaged (wrestling term for getting a new gimmick)" Stevie Richards into his new character, Steven Richards, who goes around violating people's first amendment rights. The head of the PTC was flattered that he was represented by this anti-constitutional vigilante.
