1* DracoInLeatherPants: FWE opening up Wrestling/TommyDreamer's HOH lead to an influx of mutant fans who won't boo Stevie Richards very easily, even after he reverted to his heel WWE persona.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse: On the September 10, 2007 ''Raw,'' Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's flunky Jonathan Coachman told him that, in the online poll on WWE's website of who the fans thought would be revealed to be Vince's "son," Richards was in second place, leading to Coach bringing Richards in to see Vince. Considering how Richards had not held a title for five years[[note]]He scored his 22nd, and final, win of the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwf-hc.html WWE Hardcore Title]] for less than a day on August 18, 2002[[/note]] and had not even had a [=PPV=] match[[note]]The [=Mexicools=] (Juventud Guerrera, Wrestling/{{Psicosis}} and Wrestling/SuperCrazy) d. the Blue World Order (Richards, the Blue Meanie and Nova) at ''WWE The Great American Bash 2005'' on July 24, 2005[[/note]] in two years at that point, it just showed how Richards had been able to retain a fan base from his years in ECW.
3* MemeticMutation:
4** (from his BWO days): "WE'RE TAKING OVER!"
5** Richards himself, as the replacement for Wrestling/ChrisBenoit.[[note]]The reference/joke being that after Chris Benoit's crimes got him {{unperson}}ed from any sort of WWE promotion, that Stevie Richards was slotted into any and all records of his matches and accomplishments. This may be a reference to how in the story mode for the ''VideoGame/WWFNoMercy'' video game, Richards was put into all the spots that would've belonged to Wrestling/BigShow, who was absent from the game after having been sent home for his weight issues.[[/note]]
6** Many fans joked that after WWE eventually went PG that "Right to Censor won."
7* NeverLiveItDown:
8** His post-ECW career could not have been helped by how Wrestling/JoeyStyles would constantly refer to him as a "clueless putz."
9** Along similar lines, Wrestling/JimRoss would say he's "goofier than a pet 'coon."
