I'm not just an "Internet fan" who bitches about the things that we should be seeing on RAW and Smackdown. I'm more than just a fan as I've worked matches and booked shows. I eat, sleep, and breath professional wrestling because I have long term plans in the wrestling business. I'm not just some smartass wrestling fan that thinks they know what's best for the business.
I realize Vince doesn't care what the Internet fans want or even the casual fans for that matter. But the fact is today's casual wrestling fan would respond more to Raven than the casual fans of the last 90s-early 2000s. Whether or not the casual WWE fans are aware of Raven's recent NWA World title win is irrelevant. The fact is if he were in WWE today he would be more over than he was the last time he was in WWE and he would be more over than some of WWE's current workers. Today's wrestling fans, casual or Internet, would appreciate Raven alot more than they did 5 or 6 years ago.

I know your not a smart ass fan who bitches. I've seen you post. But if you've studies wrestling, you would know that the Internet fans are just a little piece of the pie of wrestling fans. A real little piece. That's why all those ridiculous shoots WCW tried to pull never worked. Because 95% of those fans didn't have a clue what was going on.
Alienoid said it perfectly. Why would anyone care about Raven when all he did was job and appear on Heat in the WWE? Even in TNA, they didn't have enough faith in Raven to make him a long-term champ right when he came in. Now they give him the belt when they aren't even on TV anymore.
Like I said, I like Raven. I loved him in WCW. He has a unique character and solid mic skills. But the character can only be taken so far in big companies like WCW and WWE.
