All I own is the story and the plot (if you can call it that) that goes with it. So don't file a lawsuit! 
Thank You.

Note: I make some references to another story I read at the GBFF, so I must give credit to 'Let's Get Ready to Rumble' by Venkman1. This is not a follow up, just another Ghostbusters/Wrestling blend. Also, to any wrestling fan that has come across this story, I'll explain why I did this at the end. Enjoy.



WHERE: WWF NY in Times Square

    It was typical day in preparations for Sunday Night Heat. Michael Cole & Tazz were going over all the notes, and highlights from the previous week. They were reviewing a segment that featured the Right to Censor in a match against Raven. Tazz shut the tape off in disgust.
    "You know MC, I'm sick of these RTC yahoos," Tazz stated, and started pacing.
    "I hear ya, Tazz, but what can we do about it? Mr. McMahon tried to stop them but even he failed to stop that..." Michael said.
    "Pompous, arrogant, $&*@$?" Tazz suggested.
    "My words exactly. And to make matters worse, they're the special guests for Heat tonight here in your house."
    "Don't remind me MC. I don't care how, but I'm going to get rid of the RTC. But first I have to make a call," Tazz said, and got up and headed for the door.
    "Who ya gonna call?" asked Michael.
    Tazz stopped turned and said...


                                                                                        *****

    "Ghostbusters, how can we help you?"
    Roland & Eduardo looked over at the desk, as the temp secretary answered the incoming call.
    "Ok... interesting... all right sir, just give me the address.... don't worry sir, they'll be there."
    The secretary hung the phone up, and took the message over to Roland.
    "There some thing going on at WWF New York, the person that'll explain everything is some guy named Tazz."
    "WWF New York? Hey Eduardo, isn't there where that Heat program airs from?"
    Eduardo thought for a quick second before responding.
    "Yeah, they do a show every Sunday I think."
    "This doesn’t make sense..."
    "What doesn't?" asked Kylie as she entered the firehouse over hearing the conversation.
    "This doesn't. We got a call from some guy named Tazz to go to WWF New York, on the day that they air a weekly program."
    "What for?" asked Eduardo.
    "He didn't say. All he said was that everything would be explained when we got there," replied Roland.
    "As long as no dead wrestlers try to take over the world again, I say let's do it," said Eduardo, remembering that last case.
    "Eduardo..." Kylie started to say but held back. "Let's suit up and get over there."

                                                                                    *****

    Back at WWF New York, Tazz & Michael Cole were pacing back and force.
    "You think Vince is gonna be mad over this?" asked MC.
    "No... after what happened at Survivor Series, he'll thank us," replied Tazz.
    Tazz and Michael went from the lounge to the restaurant floor. When they got there they saw Raven and WWF spokesperson Shawn Michaels waiting at a table in the far corner. They went over and sat down.
    "How's it going guys?" asked Shawn, taking a sip of coffee.
    "Could be worse..." replied Michael.
    "It will get a lot worse for us if this doesn't go down right..." muttered Tazz, just loud enough for Raven to hear him.
    "Doesn’t what go down?" asked Raven, curious by what the human suplex machine said.
    "You gonna tell them, or should I do it?" asked Michael, seeing Tazz a bit uncertain.
    "I'll do it..."
    Tazz went on to explain how he and Michael were fed up with Steven Richards and the RTC, and that they were going to explain the whole thing to the Ghostbusters.
    "Man, that's heavy," said Shawn, a bit shocked over the whole deal. "You mean Stevie was possessed by some thing before Summerslam?"
    "Makes sense in a way," said Raven. "He never was like this when we were in ECW or WCW, then this sudden change..."
    "Things haven worse around here since he'd," said Michael. "Too Cool hasn't been seen since the Royal Rumble, we lost Jerry & Stacy back at No Way Out, and there numbers have increased drastically over the past few weeks."
    "Don't remind me," replied Raven. "With Edge, Malenko, Trish, and Hunter now with them no one is safe."
    The four continued until the front doors opened and three young adults, two males, the other a young lady, entered. Realizing that it wasn't time for the restaurant to open, Shawn went over to them.
    "Excuse me, but we don't open until later on tonight..."
    "We're not here to eat, sir," said the tall Hispanic. "We're here about someone needed a spook busted."
    "Oh, you must be the Ghostbusters Tazz was talking about," said Shawn. "Hey Tazz, the Ghostbusters are here. By the way, I'm Shawn."
    "I'm Kylie and this is Eduardo and that's Roland," said the young lady. Roland wasn't little time to take out his PKE meter and began sweeping the area.
    Eduardo went over to the table were the others were.
    "Let's not waste time," said Michael, getting straight to the point. "We’ve want to hire you to help persuade err..."
    Tazz groaned and then interrupted. "We want you to take care of the Right to Censor."
    Eduardo had a puzzled look on his face. "Why do you want us to get involved with your business?"
    Shawn, Roland & Kylie came over to table and sat down.
    "You want to know why, here it is..." Tazz started.

    FLASHBACK TO SUMMER OF 2000

    It was another typical Raw is War for the WWF. Little in ring action, and lot of talking. Dancing' Stevie Richards was leaving the building and headed for the airport, ready for the Smackdown taping, even though he was just going to do a run in. Funny thing was that Stevie never made it to the airport.
    Two weeks later, on Raw, Terri Runnels was going to 'flash' the audience when the titantron went black and a prohibited sign started flashing every few seconds. Out ran Stevie, dressed in a white shirt, black tie, pants & shoes, and for the record white socks. Jim Ross noticed that Stevie had an almost blank stare in his eyes despite the expression on his face, but dismissed it, not thinking it important. He wrapped Terri in a large blanket, which had a prohibited logo drawn on it and dragged her to the back.
    Bull Buchanan later caught up with Stevie after the broadcast to ask him what the heck he was doing. Something went down, and on Smackdown, Bull was dressed like Stevie. Over the next few months The Godfather, Val Venus and Ivory also joined Stevie, who over the course of that time was calling himself Steven.
    Mr. McMahon and Triple H confronted Stevie & his group in the ring on Sunday Night Heat. This led to a match at the November Survivor Series, that had McMahon, Triple H, Chris Benoit & Kurt Angle take on the RTC. Everything was in their favor until Stevie was left by himself, then Stevie manhandled Triple H, Benoit and Kurt, leaving just McMahon. McMahon held his own for a few minutes but the possessed Steven soon super kicked him out of the ring and halfway up the entrance way. McMahon was counted out, and Steven grabbed the mic.
    "This is only the tip of the ice berg. Soon more WWF superstars will be force to join the Right to Censor, and it'll be for everyone's own good."
    Steven had a twisted look on his face, but his eyes were dead, over the next few months, other superstars fell under Steven's power. First was Trish Stratus, after Test & Albert were attacked from behind, Steven & Ivory abducted her. Dean Malenko was the next to fall, followed by Edge who sacrificed himself to save his brother Christian. Steven struck a major blow when he set his eyes on Triple H. The Game fought long & hard but couldn't hold out under the constant attacks and mind games. Steven has since been focusing on the Hardy Boys, Kai en Tai and The Undertaker.
    With McMahon out of action, Jerry 'The King' Lawler decided to step and fight the RTC. With the help of Bradshaw, Faarooq, The Kat and others, he managed to hold Steven off, until No Way Out. Steven got control of the Kat for a few minutes and caused her to betray the King. A few days later, The King & Kat were no longer in the WWF.

    PRESENT DAY

    Eduardo looked at Kylie & Roland after Tazz finished. Both had unsure looks on their faces, leaving Eduardo to make the choice of helping them or not. 
    "How do we know this is true?" he asked.
    "The RTC is going to be here tonight, we can have you guys here to take any scans or whatever you do to tell if we're telling the truth," said Shawn.
    The Ghostbusters again looked at each other, unsure in if they should take the case.
    "The last we got involved with wrestling almost cost me my life," Kylie said.
    "But that was a guy coming back from the dead..." said Roland.
    "And let's not forget it was a disguise for the Gozer clown," added Eduardo.  "This Steven guy, according to Tazz is possessed."
    "Okay, you got a point." Kylie then looked at the WWF superstars. "We'll take the case."
    "Great!" replied Tazz. "Cause I've got a plan..."

LATER THAT NIGHT

    In an area out of the sight of the crowd, The Ghostbusters & the WWF superstars stood ready to bust the Right to Censor. Tazz & Michael were up at the broadcast position making like there was nothing going down. They went through the normal opening routine, talking about the past week and telling the at-home audience what was schedule and who the guest hosts were. After a commercial break, the RTC music hit, followed by a heavy chorus of boos. Out stepped Steven and the RTC. Steven had that same dead eye, sick smile look on his face, as well as a microphone.
    "Well it seems that it is time for the Right to Censor to add another member or two. And who better to add that two people that host this immoral program. Tazz & Mr. Cole, you will..."
    Tazz cut him off. "Hey Steve, you forgot whose house your in. I think it's time that someone shut you up and set you back to normal. Yo crew hit the lights!"
    The lights went dead in WWFNY. There was a little commotion in the crowd, but nothing for any concern. They all thought that this was part of the show. On the darken stage, the RTC looked at each other wondering what was going. Steven again spoke into the microphone.
    "Tazz! What ever it is you're trying to do it won't work, you'll become a member of Right to Censor and it'll be for your own..."
    Again Steven was cut of this time by the start of a song being played over the PA system. Suddenly several lights came on, all focusing on one part of the restaurant. A collective gasp from the crowd and the RTC as they saw Tazz with several people standing in the shadows.
    "Let me introduce you to some friends of mine. They're New Yorkers, and like myself they're going to kick your @$$!"
    The song that was being played suddenly changed to the 'Ghostbusters' theme. The crowd went nuts as they realized what was going down and began heading for the exits. Out of the shadows stepped  Eduardo, Kylie & Roland, proton guns drawn and trained onto Steven.
    "On three!"
    "Three!"
    The proton streams shot out and hit Steven, who naturally began to struggle to break free. Suddenly something pulled out of Steven who fell to the ground. It was a small ugly creature with dark red eyes, a large mouth, and a not so happy look on its face.
    The Ghostbusters stopped blasting Steven and looked at the creature. Michael spoke for them all.
    "What the in the crimson heck is that?!"
    "That's the source of all your problems," said Roland as he and the other Ghostbusters attempted to blast the creature, but it bolted out of the way and ran for the exit. It almost made it, when it suddenly fell forward, the Ghostbusters again attempted to snare it again, but again it ducked.
    "This isn't working!" said Eduardo.
    "I have an idea!" said Kylie. "Roland shoot just in front of that thing, me and Ed will hit it from behind!"
    "Right!"
    Roland fired in front of the creature, which turned to avoid his stream, but was greeted with two proton streams that held it fast. Roland joined them in holding the creature. Kylie reached behind her, grabbed and threw the ghost trap out in one smooth motion. She opened the trap and the creature was sucked in, causing the trap to close with a metallic snap.

                                                                                                        *****

    Meanwhile Tazz, Raven and HBK ran up the side to confront the RTC. But they didn't have to, as the RTC looked at each other wondering what was going on. None of them had any memory of the past few months. Tazz then checked on Stevie, who was still out.
    "You mind telling me why I'm in the stupid outfit?" asked Triple H.
    "You don't want to know," replied Shawn.
    Tazz checked to make sure Stevie was breathing. Seeing that he was, he slapped him across the face.
    "Yo! Stevie wake up!"
    At this time the Ghostbusters came on to the stage, and the crowd was filtering back into the restaurant. Everyone was waiting for Stevie to wake up. Finally he did. Slowly, but surely, Stevie opened hit eyes and sat up, grabbing his head.
    "Wha... what happened?" he asked, looking around, he noticed the former RTC members, and then looked down at what he was wearing. "And why am I dressed like a graduate from the postal academy?"
    With a sigh of relief, Tazz and Raven helped him up. Tazz then turned his attention to the Ghostbusters.
    "Okay how much is this gonna run me?" he asked, reaching for his wallet.
    "About two thousand." replied Roland. Tazz paid, in cash. As if on cue, the crowd broke out in the classic Ghostbuster chant until Triple H then came face to face with the three.
    "I'd never thought I'd say this, even though I don't have a clue on what happen, I'll like to thank you. You guys are that damn good."
    WWF New York again became unglued, and for the rest of the night it was party central.

The End.

Sorry for the cheese-whiz ending, but I had to finish this thing somehow. In case anyone was wondering where Garrett was, read my other story 'Garrett's Last Day'.

To any wrestling fan that may have come across this story. I don't know how the whole RTC thing started, or ended for that mater. This was something I planned originally for an Undertaker/Ghostbusters crossover, with the XGBs taking down the Ministry of Darkness, but it has been almost two years since
that storyline died. The RTC was the next best (?) thing.
