So what's everyone's thoughts on Raven? He's one of those guys that has worked for WCW, WWF, ECW and TNA. I loved the tag team/ rivalry he had going with Tommy Dreamer in the original ECW, in WCW was the first time seeing his flock/ nest stable and the whole outcast "What about me? What about Raven?" was awsome too. I liked the song he used in WWF and he had a good Hardcore feud with Tazz, Steve Blackman and Hardcore Holly. I didnt see much of his early TNA "the gathering" but I loved that they gave him the world title but then he kinda went down hill from there when they took it from him and didnt give him a good rematch. Seritonin looked good on paper with Kaz, Matyr and Havok (three talented young X Divison stars) but they didnt go anywhere and lost pretty much every match. They teamed him with Abyss and when he just kinda faded away and now he's sueing WWE even though I wouldnt mind seeing him back in WWE or TNA again for a world title run. So I'm gonna say Yay WCW, ECW and early TNA but meh to the losing Seritonin and later.

Raven is one of those guys that really I haven't seem that much of over the years yet I still love him!

I've seen bits from his ECW stuff (with Sandman, Dreamer) in DVD documentaries and liked what I saw.

I don't really see any of his WCW work (although he was one of my favourite characters from WCW v nWo Revenge on the N64).

I MARKED THE FUCK OUT though when he debuted at Unforgiven 2000. Teaming up with Tazz against Lawler / JR, fueding with Tazz, his rivalry with Rhyno (especially their match at Judgment Day 2001?). I was really interested in the 'Seven Deadly Sins' gimmick they planned to do with him. But then he faded away and got released.

I didn't get into TNA when he was at the top, I started tuning in when he was way out of shape. Seretonin was a good idea but once again (as seems to have happened a lot with Raven) the idea faded.

I'm gonna go with a YAY.

YAY

His ECW and WCW runs were pretty great. The WWE run was not bad, but underwhelming compared to the other 2 runs. Never seen his TNA work.

Raven is mythically badass at the height of his powers in my book.

YAY!

Great all the way around. So what if now he's out of shape, drunk, psycho, and everything else that people bitch about. You could say he's the new Terry Funk in a way.
