Raven's WCW push...

**jindrak** · 07-25-2004, 05:09 PM

I remember he was in the middle of a push (circa early 1999) that abruptly ended due to backstage politics in WCW.

This push had him portrayed as a smart, rich, ivy league punk that was at odds with his mother (with Kanyon by his side). I remember videos were shown inside Raven's home which showed lots of old wrestling magazines in his closet. More specifically, I remember Raven being mesmorized by the cover of Roddy Piper on one of those magazines.

I honestly think that this would've been a terrific angle, with several possibilites that would've ultimately pushed Raven to main event status.

My question- Where was WCW going to go with this angle? I definately know that Roddy Piper was to be involved, but in what scenerio?
