this would've been an angle that would've put ECW over even more so than they were back in the 90's. and maybe.........just maybe........ ECW would still be around today.
LOL yeah you're good to book one main event program, but book for an entire show month after month after month. Or book what happens with Hall & Nash after their main event program. What heppens to them a year into booking? Two years?
For the love of God, TNA, give this guy a job in the booking office. Doesn't have to be head booker, just let him tell you when you all have your heads up your asses.
@cashcrazywhiteboy Bullshit.. they have bookers.. in WWE its called the Creative Writing Staff.. TNA its called Vince Russo, Hogan, Bishoff.. dumbass..everyone has a booker..
@RaphaelDeLaGhetto87 WWE stands for World WRESTLING Federation.. they do book matches, and angles and Storylines.. TNA also has Bookers to book matches.. just because they are not called booker does not mean they don't do the SAME EXACT JOB as the bookers from the past.. it's a new age of Wrestling a presentation.. deal with it.. wow so no one is CALLED a booker.. in a nutshell THEY DO THE SAMR DAMN THING!!
Gotta love these know it all smarks. A booker's job goes beyond than just giving talent the finish. An old school booker, which to me is the real epitome of what a booker should be, would have total control of the talent how they're being paid, booked, etc. (not my words but Jim Cornette's who's been in the industry for 30 years so you can guess which opinion I value more).
Those TV writers that you love so much have no knowledge of wrestling history nor have even watched wrestling before coming to the WWE. They look at the GIMMICK, not the actual personality of the wrestler based on whether he's more suited as a heel or babyface, hence you get the crap on TV now or in your words, "new age of wrestling". Where do you think all those old pro wrestling fans are now?
MMA, because they want to see real action in a ring between two great athletes, not some midget running around chasing naked women or superstars too high to know where he's at right now.
By the way, before you go calling someone else a dumbass, maybe you should give yourself a reality check and get out of your parents' dingy basement and go join a gym.
@RaphaelDeLaGhetto87 First of in Texas we don't have many basements so maybe before you go off on people get your facts straight.. I don't understand how telling me to join a Gym is supossed to hurt my feelings, that has now been added to dumbest comments on youtube.. way to go *clap, clap, clap*
I think Raven could easily run a wrestling company. He has the wrestling knowledge, to choreograph and help choreograph matches, the intellect and linguistic skills to write and help write great promo's. As he just said in this he would allow guys to have creative control over their own gimmicks or at least to a degree (unlike wwe where they contradict a character's gimmick all the time). He is also quite a popular guy who has genuine friends in the business who would go under contract with him.
@Mucinyo Tbh i am happy i am not foley. I wouldn't have enjoy getting trap in a dumpster thrown over stage hancuffed hands behind my back and hit in head million times.
I wouldn't mind watching a Raven booked show in WWE of TNA. Even doing some on the independent scene would be great. He is a pretty creative guy when it comes to wrestling. Great worker too.
You gotta love Pro wrassling every wrestler thinks he could "book" better than the other guy...My God whats next "Virgil telling us how he would have saved WCW by "smart" booking!
even though he just pulled this out of his ass on the spot, it seemed like he just planned a storyline that built up well over time better than any storyline Russo has come up with in years!!!
I think Raven would make a very decent booker. He's a VERY intelligent person and also a VERY creative person. However, (and this applies to ANY wrestler) if you're going to be the booker I dont think you should be an active wrestler, pick one or the other. Being a wrestler and the booker is a recipe for failure, imo.
@dubq The diffrence is bookers book cards and give wreslers a story and let the wreslers decied how to get from point A to point b, and a Writer writes a script like wrelsing is a movie and demads a wresler to memerioze their lines
Raven is a very smart guy but lets all remember that hindsight is 20/20 and the ECW never had the opportunity that WCW and WWF had 2 be the best but yet they still were the best at their prime
i always liked raven,... dunno why, i just did he never had a major role, and he wasnt all that much but some guys u just look at n u can tell hes not a complete asshole theres somthing more
I like Raven because he did not care who liked him he had his own style, Raven's style is what Ecw is. by that I mean ECW is just like raven's style and thats what made ECW I grow first show and I always watched it then back in 1993-2001 and if ECW still was here today but it is in TNA atm but if they were here, ECW would be bigger then TNA,and WWE. ''Quote the Raven never more.''
i always liked Raven. He was absolutely amazing in ECW, didnt really get utilized in WCW or WWE/F and did pretty well in TNA. Why he isnt bigger than he is now is beyond me. He is brilliant and a great wrestler and great on the mic. hell of a lot better than john cena
I met Raven once at a wrestling event he did in a small arena in my hometown back in 2004 or 2005, and he wasn't friendly WHATSOEVER. Just nonchalant. Somewhat of a jerk, really.
@HugoRune1976 No, not in character at all. I met him after the event was over (Jerry Lawler was there, as well, & wrestled in the main event) when he was signing autographs and meeting the fans. He wasn't friendly at all--he just seemed depressed. I remember telling him that I loved his time in ECW & how I had a lot of the wrestling pay-per-views on video from that time, and it was just like he was out of it. He said softly and quickly, "Cool" & that was that. Just nonchalant about everything.
@DerrickthePinecone Sometimes it's no different than any other job. I counselor Addicts and when I go home I don't want to talk about much of anything with anybody unless it's something I'm passionate about and that's because I'm usually tired after a full days work. I bet if you had brought up comic books he would have wanted to talk more about that than wrestling. A buddy of mine said RVD is that way, he hates talking wrestling after a show.
raven loves that nose candy you can tell watching his shoots. I heard raven said he would take a TNA booking gig if Dixie could get him a pound of coke to snort; :P
what i like most about him, is his ego isnt so big that he wont take the belt off himself that fucking awesome! and he's smart, he may been on drugs but no one's perfect, i would like to talk to this man and just a have a conversation we would probably learn so much from each other.
How do you know his IQ is 143? Raven's character with the cut off jeans and leather biker jacket seriously kicked ass! As in ECW, WCW and early WWE. Though I have no idea what he thought he was doing wearing a Scottish dress.
However in my opinion employing Nash and Hall is suicide for any major wrestling company! Lets face it, no one actually NEEDS those tossers.
@mrlolassme He is currently the writer for two company's . Big Time Wrestling, and Juggalo Championship Wrestling. Pretty soon I bet Triple H is gonna re hire him. If Triple H can hire back Zack Ryder, He can at least sign the greatest man in the history of professional wrestling. He is the man who can bring back the attitude era... But only if he's in position for power... That's the one and only reason he should go to WWE.
Raven has been underused and under appreciated everywhere he has been except ECW, where he flourished as Raven. Also, on SmackDown Just Bring It, his DDT is the shizit!!!
he was good in he ring his evenfloww ddt was tight. many say he was smart and creative. he co-wrote a tangled web spiderman comiv that was really good
@evilmidget Cornette doesn't deserved to be in the Big 3, Cornette has never had a great run as a booker, remember when he booking for the WWF and Bischoff and Co. took them to the cleaners for 84 straight weeks..
The dude is the most underestimated man in wrestling and they keep him down because he's friggin scary intelligent and the promoters find that intimidating when they go up against brawn and brains.
Imagine having Raven, Kevin Sullivan, and Paul Heyman on the same writing team. Imagine the kind of angles those guy would come up with. Maybe TNA should try the great those guys together to see if the ratings would go sky high. I think they would.
love to watch that dvds - because in my opinion you get a good inside look - how things work in pro wrestling and the old school part of it is also great !
@x2xtreme360 well he was a master degree. he is also a former new york city school teacher. so stryker must have some brains to be a a school teacher.
@MrDivalover1 Really... brains to be a school teacher? Are you kidding me? ANYONE can get a masters degree. ANYONE can be a school teacher. That has ZERO to do with IQ. An IQ of 220 is just out of this world. Einstein had an IQ of 160. 200 is immeasurable.
@MrDivalover1 The higher you go, the less accurate the answer. Why? Because the smaller the sample. "Average" people are the most accurate due to the vast number of "average" people there are. "Smarter" people have less to compare to, thus the inaccuracy. Also, there are many other variables that will affect an IQ score. Mood, fatigue,etc. There isn't anyone with an IQ of 200+. If anyone claims it, it's simply inaccurate. I don't know my IQ. I don't need a stupid test to tell me how smart I am.
It's not really a sterotype to say that Raven is on drugs. He MAY be clean right now, i am not sure but he has a long, long and sordid history with abusing drugs. He has admitted to it many times.
raven was poorly used in his first run in wwf, as johnny polo, back then wwf lacked a real charasmatic heel wrestler. i dnt knw why they used him as a manager/interviewer, especially in an era when vince was pushing youth.
Scott was poorly used until he went to ECW & had creative freedom to become Raven, period. I hated all his gimmicks until then. Raven was one of the most unique & charismatic gimmicks I've seen in over 30 years as a fan.
being a booker is all about your relationship with the owner!!!!;you don't have to be a good performer or maybe a professional scripter!!! no,no,no,no,no!!,you got it all wrong folks!!!! its all about; (the way you lick the owner's ass good)!!!! don't worry; i've been there and i know what i'm talking about!!!!! this is a stupid, ignorant, asshole business with (NO CLASS AT ALL)!!! its only good to watch!!!! that's it !!!!
Why does everyone take this serious? Being a "smart" wrestling fan lost it's novelty years ago. Wanna enjoy this. Be stupid. The more people "know" the more miserable they are.
It's a darn shame Raven has pretty much burned bridges with both WWE and TNA: I wouldn't mind having him on commentary and I'm sure he could add some insight to the booking even in this PG age.
I don't think Raven has burned his bridge with TNA. I know with WWF, the only reason he got shitcanned was because the writers knew he wanted to become a writer, and they worked to get him fired. This was... what, 7 years ago? Things might be different today (I doubt it, though). Corino got fucked over when he was writing, too. WWE today is a lot like it was in 1994, when nobody wanted new ideas and everyone thought they knew what they were doing. It's gonna take an ass kicking to improve them.
I would be interested in seeing raven and shane douglas booking the current wwe and who they feel should be the 2 champions there. I wonder if they would book john cena as a champ??
Raven has been clean since around 2000... He has a Thyroid Condition (it controls body weight, hair, glands, etc...), and it makes it harder for him to lose weight.. that's why he looks fat

@MrDivalover1 Yea, I doubt it. Anything above 200 is just out of this world genius... Stryker is a fucking moron.

@x2xtreme360 well he was a master degree. he is also a former new york city school teacher. so stryker must have some brains to be a a school teacher.
MrDivalover1 9 months ago
@MrDivalover1 Really... brains to be a school teacher? Are you kidding me? ANYONE can get a masters degree. ANYONE can be a school teacher. That has ZERO to do with IQ. An IQ of 220 is just out of this world. Einstein had an IQ of 160. 200 is immeasurable.
x2xtreme360 9 months ago
@x2xtreme360 so you are telling me that noone ever had an iq of 200. what is your iq?
MrDivalover1 9 months ago
@MrDivalover1 The higher you go, the less accurate the answer. Why? Because the smaller the sample. "Average" people are the most accurate due to the vast number of "average" people there are. "Smarter" people have less to compare to, thus the inaccuracy. Also, there are many other variables that will affect an IQ score. Mood, fatigue,etc. There isn't anyone with an IQ of 200+. If anyone claims it, it's simply inaccurate. I don't know my IQ. I don't need a stupid test to tell me how smart I am.

It's not really a sterotype to say that Raven is on drugs. He MAY be clean right now, i am not sure but he has a long, long and sordid history with abusing drugs. He has admitted to it many times.

raven was poorly used in his first run in wwf, as johnny polo, back then wwf lacked a real charasmatic heel wrestler. i dnt knw why they used him as a manager/interviewer, especially in an era when vince was pushing youth.
ant8tfive 2 years ago 4
Scott was poorly used until he went to ECW & had creative freedom to become Raven, period. I hated all his gimmicks until then. Raven was one of the most unique & charismatic gimmicks I've seen in over 30 years as a fan.

I didn't think it was that good. Raven plans out a pretty generic storyline where it's just The Outsiders running through The Flock to get to Raven.

It's a darn shame Raven has pretty much burned bridges with both WWE and TNA: I wouldn't mind having him on commentary and I'm sure he could add some insight to the booking even in this PG age.
Good to see he's doing well.
Psychoblue 3 years ago 2
I don't think Raven has burned his bridge with TNA. I know with WWF, the only reason he got shitcanned was because the writers knew he wanted to become a writer, and they worked to get him fired. This was... what, 7 years ago? Things might be different today (I doubt it, though). Corino got fucked over when he was writing, too. WWE today is a lot like it was in 1994, when nobody wanted new ideas and everyone thought they knew what they were doing. It's gonna take an ass kicking to improve them.

Raven has been clean since around 2000... He has a Thyroid Condition (it controls body weight, hair, glands, etc...), and it makes it harder for him to lose weight.. that's why he looks fat
