WHAT ABOUT HIM? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN
24th June 2002 - HeAT Show
This is wriiten not as a journalist or a reporter just as a fan, ok?
Oh my God, has the unimaginable happened, As I signed on to AOL on
Tuesday Evening I was greeted with an IM stating, Raven has gone.
This puzzled, but yes Raven has gone, but thankfully only from RAW,
so now he homes from crappy Sunday Night Heat where he faced Matt Hardy,
which he won with help from Feet on the Ropes, which realistically I
can't see how it affects the outcome that much but the WWE like to use it
to get the Heel's across to the fans, a typical example of this being Test.
Yes Raven was made to leave RAW in a pathetic replay of what was trying to
get something like the original Loser Leaves Town Match at WrestlePalooza 1997.
How they thought they could do this in about 8 minutes I do not know.
Of course it was against Tommy Dreamer, a feud which the WWE/WWF have
never done anything about until they want shut of Raven
They must prefer Dreamers, spewing character which I think totally pales
in comparison to his true Innovator of Violence character which proved such
a great hit in ECW. To be honest I don't think they want to use ECW ideas,
I mean they took away the wriped jeans shorts from Raven and Credible.
Raven's new look seemed ok I suppose but I woud not be a happy chappy if I
was Justin Credible seen as he only gets 1 minutes TV time when he interfers in
the Hardcore match every 2 weeks or so, pathetic role I know.
So what does the future hold for Raven, well a few weeks back on crappy HeAT Raven actually quit only we ae supposed to totally forget this as never
happening because they felt it was too early to get shut of him.
He will be back, you can bet on that, rumours are, and I damn hope these are true,
is that the WWE will bring Raven back with Rhyno and try to form something
similar to that of the Nest in ECW and the Flock in WCW.
Other candidates to join them being, Perry Saturn who has a non-existent
career at the moment, and Stevie Richards, who has had a recent spell as Hardcore Champ, then there is the ever returning Kanyon who is fully fit so it
is believed so it does seem a mystery why he hasn't been brought back in, is
this a sign. Another possibility is Justin Credible, who Raven has been teaming with
in House Shows and on crappy HeAT and he had been forming something during
the days of the Alliance.
On the matter of Richards, he actuallty teamed ith raven in a Tag team match
on crappy HeAT against the Hardy Boyz. What happened here was that Raven and Stevie were actually doing well as a team, Raven went for an Evenflow
on Matt Hardy but matt countered and tried to get the Twist of Fate but Raven
ran out the ring leaving Richards alone to get beat. After Richards started
screaming at raven saying 'Why did you leave me'
Its funny how they (WWE) are dealing with this as if you could get to see
regular HeAT and other House Shows then you would see the best of what the
are trying to do around the triangle of Raven, Dreamer and Richards.
We will wait to see the outcome, we will see, we will see.

29th June 2002 - RAW House Show
Raven vows for revenge against the elder of the Hardy brothers Matt, anyway
what does everyone think of Raven's new music 'End of Everything' by Stereomud,
I think its pretty good and is available for download in my Themes section.
Anyay this match kicks off with both guys getting a even share of the match, Raven then hits Matt with a Twist of fate, yes his own move thats not a mistake, this gets
a 2 count. Raven then thinks he can do Matt's Leg Drop from the top rope but
unfortunatly fails goes for the Evenflow which is reversed into the Twist of Fate and Goodnight Raven, down for the three.
WINNER: Matt Hardy via Pinfall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the match Raven decides to string Matt up on the ropes, legs either side and Raven walks off, as Matt walks up the ramp with the aid of 2 officials he is attacked
by Brock Lesner who as you can guess destroys Matt.
30th June 2002 - House Show
Raven pits himself against Bradshaw for the Hardcore Title, basic Hardcore
stuff, Stevie Richards then enters the ring and Super Kicks Bradshaw, (could this
be a sign of a reformation Flock) and helps his pal Raven get the pin with
an Evenflow
WINNER and NEW CHAMPION: Raven via Pinfall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the match Crash Holly enters steals a quick pin on Raven, Stevie rolls up Crash
to gain the belt before Bradshaw recovers to regain the Hardcore belt, there is alot
of these merry-go-rounds occur.
