Raven's WCW push...
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?

I didn't really watch WcW but I think I remember Raven hanging out with Kanyon at the time and driving about in a convertible

Yea, but at least he was getting a push. I was just curious where the company wanted to go with the angle.

i think it was supposed to bring chasity into wcw and also to cement kanyon and raven as a tag team.. i thought it was good until it was dropped my favorite one was when they went to the bank and raven took out all this money and they went clothes shopping i think that was where kanyon got the shirt he wore until wcw closed

Yea, but Roddy Piper has to fit somewhere in the angle. I think they were going to do a Raven/Piper angle, with Piper being Raven's favorite childhood wrestler. Hence, he was mesmorized my Piper's cover, but for what reason? Thats what I wanted to know. Where exactly were they going with this?

No he wasn't. That's why he walked out. They refused to push him, Konnan and Jericho into the main event picture.

I remember reading somewhere (either on a Raven shoot interview tape review or on a transcript of a radio interview) that Raven pitched the idea of working with Piper to elevate him to main event status, but Bischoff basically shot it down.
