  • Raven Shoot Interview - Having known Raven for some 25 years, Vince Russo gets deep into the head of a genius that many don’t understand, or appreciate with the utmost respect that the former writer and friend does. In this interview Raven opens up about many things he’s never discussed before including his battle with narcolepsy, why he hasn’t watched wrestling since 2000, never being comfortable with the cheers of the crowd, what agents had it out for him in WWE, disorders he’s been diagnosed with, his dad’s humor aimed at him affecting his self esteem, why he’s still single, never having “the match”, his thoughts on David Arquette, and Vince Russo’s booking. why he sometimes thinks of his career as a “failure”. Get ready-this is deep-and only an interview that Raven can give!!! Brought to you by RussosBrand.com

    Probably the best shoot interview with Raven since every other shooter won't go as deep as Vince did and man Raven really opened up just listening helped me a lot with my own issues growing up and still have personally till this day, especially with mental health being influenced based on how we grew up and thinking about pursuing my own dreams, it really is amazing. Thanks Vince for just being yourself as you usually are during the interviews because the people you worked with that come on here to shoot really appreciate talking to you and seems the people you were on good terms with you have helped before in some way shape or form in the past and they didn't forget that, you're a good guy forget about what anyone else says I would much rather watch your shoot interviews than the next person you just lay it all down

    Loved the character, Raven back in the day. My favorite of all time!
    Cannot believe he thinks he never had that match of a lifetime, because his match with Goldberg in WCW was just awesome! Far better than anything Goldberg did with Hogan.

      That's because Greenberg sucks and Hogan was old and lazy.
      Greenberg had two good matches. Raven on Nitro and Page in Halloween Havoc.

    I'm not in a place to argue with professionals, but Raven being diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder surprises me. It's quite clear that he has an ego, but he's aware of it, and is even able to laugh at himself. I also don't see that much of a grandiosity gap between how he's talking about himself and what he's actually done... he lives in reality.

  • @poppycock31185
    @poppycock31185 Месяц назад

    The "fans" killed pro wrestling. The fact that every single wrestling forum or message board is people talking about who deserves to be pushed and discussing why someone won/lost a match/belt due to backstage politics rather than looking at it like wrestler A lost to wrestler B because he was powerbombed onto a chair etc.. just shows that the art form and the purpose of pro wrestling no longer exists.
    It's changed into something completely different and it's uninteresting to me.
    Anyone who attempts to view it the way fans are supposed to just get the stupid "it's still real to me" comments.
    I'm just grateful that I got to experience wrestling before it died and became whatever it is nowadays.

People think just because you're smart/genius iq level that you can just do anything or it's just simple for you to do whatever but they don't understand how our minds work. A lot of geniuses are fuckin nuts, even ones that are recognized like Einstein.
