In 1999, Richards went to the WWF. After briefly being associated with the Dudley Boyz and teaming up with his old partner Blue Meanie, Richards got a haircut and formed a heel stable called Right to Censor.

Following a short stint as part of The Alliance as the manager of KroniK, Richards began using the gimmick of a psychotic jobber. He was drafted to RAW during the roster split, but spent most of his time on Sunday Night Heat. He eventually formed an alliance with Victoria. As Victoria started to turn face, the duo quietly separated. Richards made a name for himself as one of the mainstays of Sunday Night Heat and became the self-proclaimed "General Manager" of Heat.

Richards's role as a jobber has been at times physically tasking and he was legitimately injured during the RAW debut match of Chris Masters in February 2005. After returning from injury, Richards faced Masters in a rematch but lost to Masters for a second time.

Richards made an appearance at the ECW reunion event ECW One Night Stand, reuniting with his bWo comrades and proclaiming "We have only three words for you – we're – taking – over!"

Richards was traded to SmackDown! on June 30, 2005 and has reprised the bWo group with Nova and Meanie. At the 2005 Great American Bash, the bWo lost to the Mexicools (Juventud Guerrera, Psicosis and Super Crazy) in a six-man tag team match.

Richards went on to become the main eventer of WWE Velocity (much like his time on HEAT) and began slowly dropping the bWo gimmick.
