It's a shame that WWE doesnt fuck with him anymore... the PC could really use a guy like Raven to teach them Ring Psychology now that Dusty's gone. Rest in Paradise Dusty
fucking kevin dunn is a fucking desiese for that companny, I just hope Shane, Steph and H realize that when Vince steps out. Imagine how many guys dont have a job there or even a push because of that fuckhead
+Bob Jones the guy who produced the attitude era was Vince, Shane etc not Dunn. He is a TV producer not a wrestling producer. He probably had a lot of influence in some of your favorite angles such as Katie Vick and Mae Young giving birth to a hand. And maybe stop insulting people on the Internet and grow a fucking pair of balls and get a life.
+Bob Jones And by being WWE executive producer doesnt mean you are a wrestling producer. Ask people that actually know what they are taking about I would love for you to say that to my face but being a coward behind a computer is way easier. It keeps you away from a fucking punch in the face.
Back when I was broken in, there were many, many guys out there who knew their shit and could train/teach you. Now days it's not the same. Sure, there are proably more guys willing to train you, but many of them are simply marks for themselves and wouldn't know how to properly train you or anyone else. One of the best modern brains in this industry is this man right here, RAVEN! Raven "gets' the business in ways that very few others understand. If I were breaking in today, Raven would be the guy i'd go to.
There was like a three year period where he aged badly, then he seemed to plateau with the aging. Good to see. I was worried he was going to end up breaking down pretty rapidly.
My 2 favorite Raven/Scotty moments were real early in his career. 1)When he was gonna face the Handsome Stranger (Buff bagwell in GWF) and as the Stranger came to the ring he'd embrace/kiss female fans. The 5th person was an old lady with a cane. She dropped something and the Stranger bent to pick it up and Scotty (dressed as the old lady) attacked Stranger with the cane! 2)when Johnny B. Badd was cutting a promo with J.R. and Scotty interrupted them and punched Badd in the face (with a roll of quarters in his fist) and coins flew everywhere! J.R. asked "why'd you do that?" Scotty said "I was giving him his change back from earlier!" LOL!
0:00-4:30: Maybe it's just me, but raven's tone of voice makes it feel like the speech he's giving is like a priest giving a serman after reading the scripture
+meavid What he's teaching here is how to make the special effects (which I presume you mean to symbolise "spots") part of the story. Meaningless spots or "special effects" for the sake of spots doesn't add to or further the story, they take away from it. He's correct in his assesment that no-one is being taught ring psychology and I think that is bourn out by the in ring product in most companies, indy or otherwise.
It's been what 20 years give or take a couple since he was wrestling, time is a bitch man haha. Some people age a lot more gracefully than others too. Plus I've seen interviews with other wrestlers..mainly Perry Saturn...who said he was one of the crazier dudes back then as far as partying/doing drugs n shit. I'd take Perry's word for it since he had his own problems with drugs haha, and Perry just seems to be a really humble/honest/intelligent guy regardless of demons from his past.
I always wondered what happened to Raven. I remember he would come into the ring and complain, I don't think he ever wrestled anyone. I can't think of anyone he actually wrestled.
Wow this is Raven he old like I said before all the greatest get old they fade Jesus Christ I'll be old soon old smh with the humans getting old people enjoy while you are young and sexy enjoy please
10 seconds in and he's already eating. Bless this man and his mind
"Just put the heat on me doring"
wassup9801453 I think he is diabetic
Nicholas Nicholas He has type 2 diabetes.
wassup9801453 still love me some Raven so sexy he is?
Such an underrated talent and mind
Agreed
Indeed
totally
If there is one man who NEEDS to be part of WWE's creative, it's Raven! The guy is beyond intelligent & talented.
He seems like a great teacher
This guy looked like a damn rockstar in the 90s. One of the best DDT finishers after jake🐍 and gangrel
Legit the three best DDTs, Jake The Snake, Raven and Gangrel
Storytelling > Flips and Kicks
How can you hate this? So much respect for Raven.
When talking about how a heel should act, a certain 'Bruiserweight' came to mind. Feels like that kid got the memo.
It's a shame that WWE doesnt fuck with him anymore... the PC could really use a guy like Raven to teach them Ring Psychology now that Dusty's gone. Rest in Paradise Dusty
he didn't get on well with the office. kevin dunn HATES him and as long as that prick is the exec producer and on the board of directors.... no raven
fucking kevin dunn is a fucking desiese for that companny, I just hope Shane, Steph and H realize that when Vince steps out. Imagine how many guys dont have a job there or even a push because of that fuckhead
+Alex Shakur Kevin Dunn is a disease? Are you fucking serious? The guy who produced the Attitude Era? Wow you are such a fucking douche smark

What an amazing opportunity; to get to learn from Raven.
Raven was so cool back in the 90's WCW....he had the best entrance music....and would walk to the ring like he was hung over!
One of the brightest Wrestling minds & wrestling characters of all-time.
Raven is smart.
Christ IsLord he's in MENSA his actual intellect is higher than most know

lmao you've never stepped inside of a ring, why do you feel the need to make up a fake story with this many details?
Loved his advice here to the young guys.
He is very right about what he is saying.
3:23 the moment when he realized he was getting older.
Electronic91 LMFAOOOO
Raven hasn't aged at all, lookin good. As good a philospher as ever.
SnakeEngine I agree
There was like a three year period where he aged badly, then he seemed to plateau with the aging. Good to see. I was worried he was going to end up breaking down pretty rapidly.
He never misses an opportunity to bury Elix Skipper. LOL
@@sdc3536 it is sold as a "moment"
Lmao that’s true 🤣
Raven should be working backstage with WWE

6:12 Raven's career
Damn that was funny as hell.
Dude can put it all together in the ring, no doubt about that
0:00-4:30: Maybe it's just me, but raven's tone of voice makes it feel like the speech he's giving is like a priest giving a serman after reading the scripture
Reminds me of a teacher in high school
LMAO 9 seconds in and BAM Raven is eating fucking ice cream hahahahah
I eat ice cream for breakfast.
he's got diabetes
cream the raven nevermore
6:52 hey! It’s Dr. Acula!
If you’ve seen Raven’s Restler Rescue....you’ll know what I’m talking about
Chris Jericho is a good example of a great heel like he's describing at the beginning.
Such a cool guy
raven is a true master of the wrestling business
I was taught this... When the match starts, establish the heat, babyface comeback, shine, heel cuts off face, heel takes over, finish.
Babyface gets shine, heel gets heat, Raven gets a tasty frozen yogurt.
i love raven hes such a legend
He is teaching great and he is funny
Why isn't this guy a trainer some where
+Will Tonkin Because he teaches that workers have to actually work instead of perform.
Was Wondering Why He Hasn't Started His Own Indy Promotion
Where is Raven's school at? I have no experience but I got a burning desire to be a heel at an indy show.
When Raven says "shine", does he mean the part in which the babyface shows why she/he's superior until the heel takes control?
Exequiel Ortega yes
story > special effects
+meavid What he's teaching here is how to make the special effects (which I presume you mean to symbolise "spots") part of the story.

+6steveo9 I agree
Man I miss Raven... but he's looking real rough here!

EricJh21690 They're all good dudes from that era and especially that group... and they all beat themselves to shit.
Poltergeist he doesn't look that bad, more down is hair and facial hair
@@EricJh21690 reason he got addicted because he saved a woman from being raped not sure of you knew that
@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 Nah I wasn't really aware of that but I can totally see someone self medicating after something like that
I always wondered what happened to Raven. I remember he would come into the ring and complain, I don't think he ever wrestled anyone. I can't think of anyone he actually wrestled.
You must of never watched him then.
The reason why? Because wrestling has never been about the wrestling, it is about the characters and the build.
Yo wtf is up w that jagged ass top rope?
lmao right
I bet the students taped the ropes.
Ravens genius
Now that's how I feed my eel
RIP Raven...he was ok
Holy shit he looks rough. I thought he'd be WCW era Raven forever.
drug and alcohol addictions gonna make you age bad bro
Alexander Farzaneh Thank God he managed to clean himself up.
Reminds me of Val Kilmer
Very smart
You know if someones a good teacher by looking at the students and they all look confused as fuck
Is this man eating a parfait?😂😂😂
I'm Thinking Greek Yogurt
raven eating ice cream I love it
need that shirt
the guy at the end talking with raven is ravens illegitimate son
Sounds like bender from futurama
Why is it that teachers and road agents are always the wrestlers that never drew any money??
SmithCommaBenjamin they have experience and the time to be able to teach.
Those who can’t.....teach!!!
Wait, so NO ONE liked sci-fi?
Alexa bliss gets so frustrated she throws a tantrum. Lol
raven is similar to like jim cornette and jim ross and scot hall etc in that hes such an intelligent dude nd u kinda wouldnt expect it
holy shit he looks like he's 75 yrs old.
Wow this is Raven he old like I said before all the greatest get old they fade Jesus Christ I'll be old soon old smh with the humans getting old people enjoy while you are young and sexy enjoy please
I love the watch he is wearing in this vid.............
lol raven ripping off nirvana t shirt, looks great tho glad im not the only fan
5 people aren't sci-fi fans...
Ice cream
Ravens a smart guy and gives good advice but man he looks pretty bad here! Looks like he's aged about 30 years since I last saw him in WWE
Low key though the wwe sucks because they couldn’t handle every underrated super stars gimmicks and promos they couldn’t gave them a big push

Looks like crap but he makes sense
So punche
