They lost the titles in a triangle match. Raven went solo and turned on Stevie. Raven won his first ECW World title when he defeated the Sandman on January 27, 1996, in Philadelphia.

Then on April 19, 1998, Raven pinned Diamond Dallas Page for the United States title. Only to lose it next night on Nitro, to Goldberg. Before leaving WCW, Raven joined Vampiro and the Insane Clown Posse in a group called the Dead Pool. After saying things about WCW on the radio, Eric Bischoff called a meeting before the August 23rd Nitro in Las Vegas, he offered anyone on the WCW roster a limited release if they were unhappy. Raven stood up, and walked out of the meeting. But his contract would not allow him to wrestle in the WWF. He would either have to stay, or wrestle for 1 year in ECW. Unhappy with WCW, Raven returned to Extreme Championship Wrestling. Raven showed up on a TNN taping. He came out and DDT Buh Buh Ray Dudley.

He gave Lawler an Even Flow DDT, allowing Tazz to win the match. Raven has a bright future in the WWF. Saying that he would never return to WCW. And made it clear that him and Paul E. no longer want to do bussiness. As you can tell. Everywhere Raven has gone. He has made an impact. Who knows what Raven will do. How extreme he will get. It leads to the question. "What about me? What about Raven!?" |
