Raven wrestling seminar 

I learned more from this than from 6 months of hands on in ring training. I like Raven's point, about asking why, what makes this work, and I used to get so frustrated that the answer was always "Because I said so".

Excellent seminar. Raven's teaching method has a higher information retention rate for his students because it encourages a more personal method of engagement. You notice he creates an argumentative discourse with the students, but he always reaches his intended point without ridiculing anyone. It's effective because the students will remember what Raven was arguing with them about, how the argument ended and what they learned from that; because an argument is more memorable than just having information thrown over you monotonously for hours. Brilliant seminar and you can tell he does quite a few.

I'd listen to Raven's advice over and over. Same with Al Snow. So fucking good. And it makes perfect sense. You can apply this to story arcs in general. Letting the bad guy get ahead so that the good guy can learn more about what to do, and how to combat it.

Raven’s Mensa IQ is really showing off here! He questions these young bucks with the Socratic method like a freakin law school professor! Great post!

Not only one of my favorites, but a beautiful way to explain what wrestling is..

Immediately only a few minutes in and he reminds me of my favourite teacher I had in school. Love how he engages everyone in the room, asking questions, getting their input and building from it.

Props to Raven. He’s a good teacher. He explains things so well.

Raven and Al are 2 of the best minds in the buisness, and i love the emphasis they put on why, thats a major part of whats missing today, and i loved how he talked having a look, ive always thought the same thing just never heard anyone talk about it

Im no wrestler, but I have such a huge respect for Ravens in ring story telling.

Just watching the first part, I’m extremely fortunate to be born and raised and still living right next to a great Pro Wrestling school and promotion

Scotty's fit here is actually a vibe, he usually doesn't dress that fly outside of the ring.

Hollywood needs to listen to Raven on how to tell a good story.

I ran into Raven after I was at Backlash 2001 at a Wendy's right after the show. I went all out for that Raven vs/ Rhyno match and wrenched my voice out for a week.I was right behind him in line, marking out over the match to my buddy I went with. I thought he was just another fan turning around and laughing. He got his food, turned back to me and chuckled then walked away. some other dude was like "Dude that was Raven!" I was like... oh f*...."

This guy teaches on a different level from most, every aspiring wrestler should be exposed to one of his seminars

Raven is one of the few guys I've seen who could talk effortlessy for hours about the psychology of wrestling. Foley and Cornette also come to mind.

That was very entertaining

It made me lol when raven said I see some of u nodding off don't blame ya lol

Raven is one of the smartest minds in the business... I believe the answer he was looking about with the "why does the baby need to shine"... is this. The Babyface needs to shine... So that the HEEL can get heat.... and The HEEL needs to get HEAT... So that the audience has a reason to want the Babyface to make the comeback and get the Finish.

So good. He’s brilliant.

Raven definitely was my idol as a kid, I wrestled him in "04 I think. He made our March really easy and enjoyable

one of my all time favorites and an inspiration to my career.

Wow. I am amazed this even exists

Raven is the best !

Raven could easily be a stand up comedian

Awesome that he brought up Stephen Thompson lol. Cool he’s into MMA as well as wrestling.

Raven had a a better match in this video than 80% of the matches I've seen in the last 10 years

Still one of the most brilliant people I've ever seen just his mentality and understanding of psychology

One of thr smartest wrestling minds out there

These kids are dopes.....

Quote the Raven never more!!

Raven was in the MArine Corps.

This is awesome. I love it when he makes the kid job to him during training and says "I didn't say get up, bitch" LOL! Awesome.

What I love about Raven the most is his ADHD moments like mine. Like man I know how it feels to be having a good point or story and just FORGET lol

Man this is some great info

damn. Raven looking younger!

26:30 Very good example! Marty does look like he's thinking ahead. HBK is very go with the flow. Jericho, RVD two different. I remember a story about Rick Rude not knowing a single thing and would get lost in matches.

Damn its a shame nobody there knows Wonderboy Thompson dude is a beast KickBoxer

Raven is extremely intelligent. I did his taxes for a few years and I swear he knew exactly how much he was going to owe or get refunded before I even got started…no lie!!

There were rare wrestlers that were " OVER " CACTUS JACK, NEW JACK, the Road Warriors, wrestlers that were so over that they weren't heels or babyfaces, anymore, they were just over

me too

1:55:14 is when the video ends and it repeats btw for anyone wondering about watching a 3 hour video lol. ;)

🤙🔥

Kool

i got my pic with Raven a while back and my girl at the time loved raven ! so when they got their pic together , my girl leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek for the shot and Raven shifted his head away as the picture took !lol!!! and she was cute too ! wasnt like she was ugly !!! i couldnt help but laugh !!!

I reffed eactly one show. was supposed to be like 1 or 2 matches but they tricked me lol. i was dealing with a tag partner that wasnt legal on the apron. he started saying "turn around" but it was in a tone where i wasnt sure it was a work or not lol.

Is it to establish the baby face as the one the crowd subconsciously roots for and the heel the they boo?

13:00 I've thought this for years!! If a wrestler during an actual match can put his hands on and intimidate a referee at will throughout the match, then the ref has no authority. If the ref has no authority, why is he/she in the ring other than to tell the talent when to wrap it up? If you're going to go through the charade of having a ref, for the appearance of it being an actual sporting event... then you have to bestow the same level of authority to the ref as football and basketball does... if you put hands on a ref, you're out. Not only out of the match but a possible suspension (Which would make sense of a ref having hands put on him during a match, if it was part of a storyline where the heel went rogue, or the face lost his/her cool. Those would be the only outcomes that made sense. Otherwise you may as well just have the two competitors in the ring with no ref, and let them go at it in a no disqualification styled match. 🤷‍♂

The GOAT

The big gimmick was cactus jack, new jack, and you

…does that make sense

Drinking game every time he says "You know what I mean?"

Harley Race didn't wear shiney boots

Raven what's it like being cuss out by ecw hat guy???? Always at the ecw arena shows

I couldn't even last 30 minutes..... Advertisements every two minutes is ridiculous and way over the top and it made this unwatchable There were other seminars on this channel that I wanted to watch....but if they have the same advert setup....no thanks....I won't be back

when youre in there with a guy who has that much experience in the business, dont be a smartass and tell him what hes saying isnt true cuz you wanna look cool, you listen to the reasons he gives for his questions because he knows his shit, its no wonder these ppl havent gotten anywhere

This video would be better if I didn't have stupid ads every 3 minutes

He explained so much and Im still confused as to how Pro Wrestling actually works in layman's term!!!

Teach 'em how to sell, but they're wearing a mask, you can't use a facial expression, johnny walker, Don Jardin, Bill Eadie

fucktill 1:30 i dont understand shit hes saying. xD

Smarks isn't going to like Raven's comment on heels always losing is not a big deal.

Truth Martini is a legitimate trainer in the Michigan area. You can't handle the truth though

im surprised he didn't fall asleep with this whack group of students.

🐦‍⬛🤼🏻‍♂️🎤

And definitely STAY OFF SOCIAL MEDIA....jesus, you see The Fiend on TV all about this craziness, creepiness's, animalistic creature...then I see him on IG posting with other wrestlers or his kids etc...

I love raven to death. But its so obvious he was drunk or high here. Firstly he kept forgetting what he was saying, then asking the people what he was talking about. Then he kept repeating himself so much and said a lot without acting saying anything. You can see some of the trainees at times chuckling and laughing too when hes not looking. He also argued with them a lot as if they were totally wrong at times they were right. When he asked questions and someone answered he barely said "correct" or agree with them as if them getting it right was bad or even opinion based questions he'd just cross question them again for no reason. Was a bit cringe. Still love Raven though all time great heel for me. Maybe his age now got him like this but i honestly think he was hammered lol.

Wrestling seminars are a waste of good money if the seminars are all talk and no in ring training. Why go to seminars when you can listen to wrestlers 'talk' on youtube ?

I love Raven’s opinions on wrestling, but I got tired of listening to him browbeat the students and argue them into submission instead of just imparting the information.

This is what needs to be removed from wrestling. This heel, face crap

Hello sissy

he's certainly no Al Snow. He's mostly just rambling and not truly teaching anything. Carny vibes. Marks will say "have you ever taken a bump" 😂

Why does Raven look like a Dominican barber?

Raven books such BORING heat and his comebacks are so 90s catch up grandpa
