Wrath. He was getting very over before he started constantly losing late 98.

I was a big fan of Wolfpack Nash, but the idea to have him break the Wrath streak was unforgivable. They had money in an eventual Goldberg/Wrath match.

Awesome had all the tools but going to WCW and having Vince Russo give him that stupid gimmick is what ruined him.

I always felt that Mike Awesome was the basic inspiration/concept behind Brock Lesnar, and he definitely could've been so much bigger if he'd chosen the WWE instead.

The WWE was no different than ECW by then. Take ECW's top star and put them on the back burner so ECW could go under. I will credit WCW for the work they did with Lance Storm

A 6’6” almost almost 300 pound power based dude that can fly, and you turn him into The Fat Chick Thriller and That 70’s Guy:gucci::martin: that’s some current WWE stuff right there

That's Vinny Russ for ya. He thinks if it's popular on TV it'll be popular in the ring too. Just like that stupid Jersey Shore parody he did in TNA.

It sucks because WCW put a lot into Raven's vignettes and really hype him up. They even had him sitting in the stands acting like an emu just to build his introvert character. Then after the Goldberg squash they changed his gimmick to some rich boy from a posh family and brought in his buddy the Sandman.Raven's Rules was money but the Flock was stuck in the lower card because the NWO was the top heel stable then and the Horseman were second.
I might be in the minority but I always thought Raven and the flock sucked. Raven’s long-winded grunge band spoken word promos used to put me to sleep. I never saw the appeal.

Dude could had been more than just low to mid card status if done right. He was legit Bob Backlund heel nuts status and knew proper crowd control:



Him/Benoit would had been an amazing feud:wow:
