Loss Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 JJ Dillon has an important announcement about Raven. Well, that feels like an oxymoron. They want to sign Raven's WCW contract. Stevie Richards is immediately out to claim that he too has signed with WCW. Stevie is great here, and it's weird that his WCW run was so short and not notable. Stevie apparently put together the deal for Raven, but Raven goes into a long poem before tearing up the contract. Stevie calls him on it and Raven slugs him.

Kevin Ridge Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I hope Richards got a commission in this contract signing of Raven to WCW. Why would Raven do a public contract signing?! The Genius is a much, much better poet than Raven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strummer Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 we've had this discussion before but was a Gen Xer/slacker/grunger still a workable character in 1997? Hell from 94-96? There were still some remnants of that culture in society but it was definitely fading. I was a freshman in college at this time and I don't remember seeing hardly any grunge type kids anymore. In fact it was so long ago I can't even remember the style at that time anymore. I just remember hearing a lot of Third Eye Blind songs on the radio.

Matt D Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Wrestling is always four years behind, at least. The fans are used to it. Add in the southern/conservative (socially not politically) WCW fan base and sure, why the hell not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Stevie was good here but this feels like it has been drug out way too much and Ravens apathetic character doesn't play well in retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 WCW sure did a good job making Raven's signing look like a big deal. Stevie & Raven had a great chemistry together depsite their personnal issues. Gotta love Gene & Dillob's appaled look as soon as Raven begins to recite a poem. Funny stuff.

BackToBionic Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I was at this show and you couldn't hear a word of this. In the days before giant screens everywhere, these Nitros with their extended backstage (ringside in this case?) segments were pretty boring half the time for a live crowd.

PeteF3 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Richards has taken the liberty of negotiating Raven's contract on his behalf, and put together a blockbuster deal that sees Raven getting a full-sized rental car and tape deck and *almost* as much money as Dancin' Stevie. Somehow Raven is less than impressed. Raven's poetry may not be as good as the Genius' but Poffo didn't have Okerlund and Dillon there to play off of it, either.
