WHAT ABOUT HIM? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN
JULY 2002
2nd July 2002 - HeAT Show
Raven believes he should get another chance, as do we Raven fans and this
match is to determine whether or not Raven gets that chance. Coke and Fries are taken from a fan by dreamer to use on Raven as the match is heavily involved with Finishers. Dreamer goes for the Spicolli Driver but Raven reverses into an EvenFlow which Dreamer everses into a DDT of his own, Dreamer DDT, thats gets a two count. Raven hits the EvenFlow and we have ourselves a winner.
WINNER: Raven via Pinfall.
Dreamer gives the fan his shirt afterwards for being a good sport, but did the fan have a choice, not that he would have minded in the end.

Raven was granted his match due to his last victory over Dreamer, this match was to determine which superatr ended up on top.Raven was shown in his locker room from earlier today and Terri showed up and asked him how he's feeling right now, considering he's no longer able to be on RAW. Raven said
he feels betrayed and ripped off. His career is in jeopardy because of Vince McMahon. He feels like a pawn in some billionaire's chess
game and when he lost, he was ushered out of the building like a child who
had been grounded and sent to his room. Terri said that he'll get his rematch tonight on Heat and Raven said that Tommy Dreamer will pay for the indignities that he suffered. Tommy Dreamer will feel the wrath of his retribution. It's time for someone else to feel his pain because if you cut us,
do you not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, dowe not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? Quote the Raven... Nevermore.
Raven exchanged words with Tommy Dreamer and then he grabbed him by
the shirt and spit in his face. Tommy took his hand and rubbed it on his
own face and ate the spit and then he knocked Raven down. The match
ended as Raven locked on the Evenflow and had previously avoided a
Spicolli Driver and a Dreamer DDT.
WINNER: Raven via pinfall

Stevie Richards was also in action on this episode of HeAT and although raven was not involved in any way the bringing together of Stevie and raven again seems more and more likely. raven has been feuding with Matt Hardy, and using Matts moves, for example, the 'Twist of Fate' and the 'Top Rope Leg Drop'.
In Stevies match with matt Hardy on the same day Raven faced Dreamer, Stevie also used one of Matt's moves in the 'Side Effect', Stevie also imitated Matts gunhand symbol with his Arghhhhh. Somethings fishy will these two form a Flco of some sort again?, What role will Dreamer play?

Raven battled Bradshaw in a quest to gain the Hardcore Title, this was his plan
to get back on RAW, if he had a title he would have to feature, yes?
Before the match Bradshaw showed Lillian Garcia that he had produced a Texas Hardcore Belt which looks pretty pathetic really.
Well anyway when the match got underway Bradshaw takes off his cowboy hat, Raven jumps him, smashing 2 trash can shots on Bradshaws temple. Bradshaw picks up the ringsteps and knocks Raven out. Bradshaw then goes rodeo and hogties Raven. Raven can't get out and gets smashed with a trash
can lid, but then gets free from the ropes. Bradshaw tries to powerbomb Raven quite a few times, but Raven reverses. Raven gets hit with a fire extinguisher but then unleashes a series of 3 vicious shots on Bradshaw that destroy a
cookie tray. Raven then rams Bradshaw in the stomach with a huge potted
plant to a huge pop from the crowd. Raven drop toe holds Bradshaw into an open chair in the corner. As Raven staggers up, Bradshaw wraps the
bullrope around his arm and knocks Raven out with the "Lariat From Hell"
and successfully defends the Title.
WINNER: Bradshaw via Pinfall

28th July 2002 - HeAT
Raven faced Crash Holly in this episode of HeAT. Before the match Raven was questiong by former Valet, Terri, Why he hadn't signed up with one of the new GM's on RAW or Smackdown, Raven retalited by stating;
"With what leverage, Terri? My level of exposure isn't half of what it needs to
be. Besides, how attractive of a free agent would I really make? And even so,
do you really think they'd allow me on Smackdown? They'd find some way to get me off of there. Because, every time people see me, they say I'm a freak. They say I'm a degenerate. They say I'm depraved. Well, labeling people is the
product of narrow minded individuals. You see, I'm not depraved ... they are. Well, I guess I'm gonna stay here on Heat, because if I can't be on RAW, I
am going to take delight on turning Heat into my own personal playground."
So as the match got under way as Raven works on Crash's Knee for alot of this match with Crash going for numerous rollups resulting in many 2 counts.
Raven goes for the Evenflow but its reversed into a Crash Suplex, Crash has yet more near falls before going for a Tornado DDT only for his knee to play up on him. Raven takes this oppetunity and hits the EvenFlow, 1, 2, 3.
So what does this mean if Raven wishes to stay on HeAT, is he planning a reformation of the Flock in the near future, he had been tipped to team with the eventuall returning man-beast Rhyno, but whos to know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a non televised (Dark Match) Raven faced off against Matt Hardy in a
battle which saw both men using each others moves. Matt got the pin with
the Twist of Fate.
Also is this night Raven and Justin Credible made their way into the Hardcore Title match Bradshaw V Stasiak and double teamed the Texan and Raven
gained the cover. Not sure if this could mean Credible by the side of Raven in
the future, prehaps part of a Flock, I wish.
