I. Intro:
Hello, this is my first shot at a guide, so if it comes out sucky, Oh Well.
I made this guide because Raven is my favorite wrestler, and in my opinion one
of the best in the WWF right now. Of course we have'nt seen him on tv since
forever, and when ever he comes back, he's still probably not going to get a
push.
His promos are some of the most peotic, and haunting promos probably, ever.
Well, I hope this guide is of some use to you.

WCW.com Bio (credit WCW.com):
"What about me? What about Raven?"

It was a good question considering his miserable past documented in ECW. Raven
is the master of self-pity. He's also a master of taking incredible amounts of
punishment and coming back for more. A two-time ECW World and two-time ECW Tag
Team Champion, Raven can take it from the best of them, and dish out twice as
much.

Raven's violent and bloody feud with Tommy Dreamer was his defining moment in
ECW the first time around, but even he learned to put the past behind him, for
it was with Dreamer that Raven captured ECW gold. Now on the same side again,
the possibilities for this sinister native of the Bowery is endless.
