It's a shame that WWE doesnt fuck with him anymore... the PC could really use a guy like Raven to teach them Ring Psychology now that Dusty's gone. Rest in Paradise Dusty
fucking kevin dunn is a fucking desiese for that companny, I just hope Shane, Steph and H realize that when Vince steps out. Imagine how many guys dont have a job there or even a push because of that fuckhead
+Bob Jones the guy who produced the attitude era was Vince, Shane etc not Dunn. He is a TV producer not a wrestling producer. He probably had a lot of influence in some of your favorite angles such as Katie Vick and Mae Young giving birth to a hand. And maybe stop insulting people on the Internet and grow a fucking pair of balls and get a life.
+Bob Jones And by being WWE executive producer doesnt mean you are a wrestling producer. Ask people that actually know what they are taking about I would love for you to say that to my face but being a coward behind a computer is way easier. It keeps you away from a fucking punch in the face.
My 2 favorite Raven/Scotty moments were real early in his career. 1)When he was gonna face the Handsome Stranger (Buff bagwell in GWF) and as the Stranger came to the ring he'd embrace/kiss female fans. The 5th person was an old lady with a cane. She dropped something and the Stranger bent to pick it up and Scotty (dressed as the old lady) attacked Stranger with the cane! 2)when Johnny B. Badd was cutting a promo with J.R. and Scotty interrupted them and punched Badd in the face (with a roll of quarters in his fist) and coins flew everywhere! J.R. asked "why'd you do that?" Scotty said "I was giving him his change back from earlier!" LOL!
Back when I was broken in, there were many, many guys out there who knew their shit and could train/teach you. Now days it's not the same. Sure, there are proably more guys willing to train you, but many of them are simply marks for themselves and wouldn't know how to properly train you or anyone else. One of the best modern brains in this industry is this man right here, RAVEN! Raven "gets' the business in ways that very few others understand. If I were breaking in today, Raven would be the guy i'd go to.
There was like a three year period where he aged badly, then he seemed to plateau with the aging. Good to see. I was worried he was going to end up breaking down pretty rapidly.
0:00-4:30: Maybe it's just me, but raven's tone of voice makes it feel like the speech he's giving is like a priest giving a serman after reading the scripture
I always wondered what happened to Raven. I remember he would come into the ring and complain, I don't think he ever wrestled anyone. I can't think of anyone he actually wrestled.
It's been what 20 years give or take a couple since he was wrestling, time is a bitch man haha. Some people age a lot more gracefully than others too. Plus I've seen interviews with other wrestlers..mainly Perry Saturn...who said he was one of the crazier dudes back then as far as partying/doing drugs n shit. I'd take Perry's word for it since he had his own problems with drugs haha, and Perry just seems to be a really humble/honest/intelligent guy regardless of demons from his past.
+meavid What he's teaching here is how to make the special effects (which I presume you mean to symbolise "spots") part of the story. Meaningless spots or "special effects" for the sake of spots doesn't add to or further the story, they take away from it. He's correct in his assesment that no-one is being taught ring psychology and I think that is bourn out by the in ring product in most companies, indy or otherwise.
Wow this is Raven he old like I said before all the greatest get old they fade Jesus Christ I'll be old soon old smh with the humans getting old people enjoy while you are young and sexy enjoy please
