🌠Stevie Richar👍ds says he made the most money in royalties for video game payments during his time with the Right To Censor.
Stꦆevie Richards was in WWE, WCW, ECW, and TNA. While he had success in all companies, he says he made the most money during his time as Steven Richards as a member of the Right To Censor in WWE. That character was featured in three video games, half of Richards' overall WWE game appearances, andꦕ he now says that he made the most money on royalties from video game payments during his time as that character.
Specifically, Richar🥀ds he was paid the most for one of the WWE SmackDown games which featured his RTC character. That could have either been the second game, "WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role" or WWF SmackDown: Just Bring It." Richards says he made between $30,000 to $40,000 with those royalty checks but there's no clear way of knowing because royalty checks also encompassed other merchandise as well. However, he knows that the video game took up a large portion of the check.
"I don't have an exact figure, but I have to say the smackdown game where I was right to censor Steven Richards paid me the most. And I would say that was probably between $30,000 to $40,000 as a total check. See, there's no way of knowing if that's the exact number, because, once again, pay-per-view DVDs, we were on all the pay-per-views. We were in other things that were, like the encyclopedia, I don't think came out just yet. There were definitely different things that we were figured into. But the video game probably ate up a lot of a large portion of that check," he said. "As time went on, each royalty check got less and less and less. But there was no way to truly break down how much I was getting paid strictly from the video game that wasn't part of the sleeper cell that handled the accounting."
Stevie Richards' most famous video game appearance came in the Nintendo 64 classic, "WWF No Mercy." Learn what Richard has to say about replacing Big Show in massive storylines in that video game's career mode here.
