Trivia / Stevie Richards

• Acting for Two: He was also Lloyd Van Buren of the ECW hotline.
• Defictionalization: Canadian Wrestling's Elite named their May 18, 2013 event, which featured Richards in the main event, Stevie Night Heat.
• Executive Meddling: On the August 23, 1999 Raw, Stevie and Meanie presented the first The Blonde Bytch Project vignette, a mockery of Sable. It was scrapped out of concern for her lawsuit and because, allegedly, Vince McMahon was unaware of The Blair Witch Project and didn't know how many people would get the joke.^note A similar fate would befall Paul Burchill's Pirate gimmick in 2006, due to Vince not knowing about the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
• Old Shame: As "Stephen" in Right to Censor, not that Stevie disliked the group itself but because he does not think he was doing his best work or was in the best physical shape while he was at the head of it, suspecting that may have hurt what may have been a stepping block to bigger pushes rather than what he got when the group broke up (none went too far afterwards, truth be told)
• Real Life Writes the Plot: John "Bradshaw" Layfield legit beat Blue Meanie bloody during a worked brawl segment during ECW's One Night Stand in 2005. Stevie Richards was with WWE at the time and took exception to this, so a few weeks later, when the Blue Meanie got a match with JBL, Stevie Richards, during a planned interference, got a measure of revenge by winding up with a steel chair and shoot-applying it forcefully to JBL's forehead. And chair shots to the head were still allowed - unprotected ones at that. JBL sustained a legit concussion, and if that weren't enough, ate the pin in the match. Despite the fact that Meanie actually hit the Meaniesault, that didn't get the pin. It took Batista running in and attacking JBL for Meanie to score the pin.
• Real Song Theme Tune: In ECW:
  • The Offspring's "Nitro (Youth Energy)" and "Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)"^note This was Raven's theme.
  • Stone Temple Pilots' "Dead and Bloated"
  • Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar"
  • (as "Baron Von Stevie"): Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"
  • (as "The Fabulous Ones"): "Surf Rider" by the Lively Ones
  • (as "The Stamford Hillbillies"): Hank Williams Jr.'s "All My Rowdy Friends"
