Oh yeah, it was the right decision - from both a legal and a moral standpoint.

~Morally~
Ryan is very likely the murderer of his wife, a showgirl from Vegas who he very recently met and married in a whirlwind affair. This is the behavior of an extremely disturbed individual, possibly a sociopath or a psychopath. Watching him woo and romance another woman is at the very least tasteless and tacky - at worst it's sickening and disturbing to watch. And he should not get one more ounce of fame or attention, especially in any kind of positive light as a good "catch".

~Legally~
The family of the dead wife I'm sure would have plenty of objections to airing tape of this girl's murderer looking like a sweet romantic guy. Not only could it influence potential future jurors, but it's disrespectful to the dead girl's memory. I'm sure they'd use their muscle to stop the show, even if VH1 didn't make the right call. Plus Megan may have a legal case to, in that VH1 obviously did a piss poor job screening candidates. If I were her, I'd be terrified and angry that they led her to such a dangerous person. In fact, VH! may STILL have to answer for that.

Yes, I do believe - especially in light of VH1's hastiness to remove the show - that Ryan was the winner. And that's the last image that should be put out about this murderer right now (who by the way, just escaped into Canada on foot, despite a massive manhunt).
