WHAT ABOUT HIM? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN
AUGUST 2002
4th August 2002 - HeAT Show
Raven walked out to �End of Everything� with somewhat of a cheer this week.. Raven made his way to the newly positioned RAW announce Table, still set up from RAW. Raven pulled on a headset and had a some guy bring him a chair
to sit down. Raven then intoned that as part of his quest to turn Heat into his personal playground, he will now wrestle when he wants, interrupt matches if
he so desires or even do commentary he wanted,and so Shelton Benjamin vs. Justin Credible match alongside Coach and D Lo was Raven�s choice.
This to me sounded as a blast in the past remembering an old WCW quote
on his first Nitro Show.
�I signed your contract, but I won't conform to your rules. I put certain stipulationsin the contract. I'll sit where I want, I'll wrestle when I want, I'll wrestle who I want, I'll wrestle how I want; that means no disqualification; and you, will pay me what I want. Quote the Raven, nevermore��
Raven began to diss Benjamin sayng if he went to school with Lesner that
didn�t make him a good wrestler before laying into D�Lo�s commentary skills. He stated that he is been wrongly treated by the appearance he gives and that
he isn't miserable at all, but rather he's ecstatic despite what others think
but Raven isn't depraved, it's the people. Raven then mentions that D Lo was
a CPA before he became a wrestler and says that he must of cheated to get
into this position. D Lo tells Raven he may have been shady in his past, but Raven needs to step off. Raven says if he and D Lo fought, D Lo would fall prey to the Raven Effect. Raven says he would be the first person to kick out of
D Lo's finisher at a 2 count. Raven says everyone is a freak, they all conceal
it & he's a victim because he's open about it; if D Lo has a problem with it,
he should do something. Raven and D�Lo start at it throwing punchs across
the Coach, D�Lo got in a sucka punch and Raven went across the Table as
Coach held D�Lo back.

D'Lo Brown called out Raven because of his loss to Jonny Stamboli last week, Raven came out to a huge amount of boo's really hitting a good heel reaction. This week he was refusing to fight again, stating...
D-lo Brown, I've come out here to regretfully inform you and all of these depraved sociopaths that I won't be able to compete tonight because of a sprained ankle. I'm sure you people would love to see me wrestle injured, perhaps risking permanent physical damage. Well, that's typical of you degenerates, parading around with a facade of caring and compassion while deep inside lusting for bloodthirsty spectacle. D-lo, this is your fault! Your unprovoked attack on me last week left me with a severe physical trauma which is only matched by my disdain for your reprehensible behavior. D-lo Brown, your transgressions have a price; a liability that must be paid in full. So I have enlisted the aid of someone who is not unfamiliar with the term "debt collection." D-Lo Brown, prepare to pay!
...and called out not the coolest, not just the best, but Justin Credible. Credible lost the match but afterwards Raven entered the ring and delivered an EvenFlow, to D'Lo, who will be seeking even more revenge next week.

With the D'Lo, Raven fued heating up, D'Lo made his way to the ring this time hoping to face Raven, Raven made his way out along with the following quote...
D-Lo Brown, you degenerate reprobate, I accept your challenge. But not tonight. Understand that Heat is my personal playground and I will not allow anyone to dictate terms to me! But you will have an opponent, because there is a ton of people back in the locker room who would LOVE to make an impact on Eric Bischoff and show some ruthless aggression. So tonight your opponent is not just the coolest, he's not just the best, he's Justin Credible
Credible came out and Raven cheered him on from ringside, D'Lo hit the SkyHigh for the pin before Raven stepped in with an EvenFlow before making his Crucifix Pose exit. Raven was then interviewed backstage with Terri stating...
"D-Lo Brown was once again a victim of the rules of Raven's playground. I almost feel sorry for Justin; but in chess, pawns must be sacrificed. But let me assure D-Lo Brown that the games aren't over and I'd like to personally bid him welcome to the clockwork orange ride in Raven's house of fun"
