10 Wrestling Legends WCW Buried

10. Raven

Scott Levy's misanthropic sociopath was a smash hit with the ECW faithful. An effective heel cashing in on the 90s grunge craze, Raven became a dependable heat magnet for the land of extreme. When he arrived in WCW in late 97, it didn't take long for him to get under fans' skin there either.

Sadly for Raven, Eric Bischoff and co. were not into grunge (or nu metal, an aesthetic Raven would later adopt to keep the persona hip) and found his dark persona depressing. Despite the high quality of his promos and psychology, Raven found himself looking up at the lights far too often to be a credible threat. Even the interference of the Flock, a WCW take on his old Raven's Nest faction, wasn't enough to realign his win-loss ratio adequately. A US Title win during his feud with perennial fan favourite Diamond Dallas Page offered a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, he was demolished by Goldberg in a notorious squash match the next night.

The decision to reveal Raven as secretly a spoilt, rich kid brat in 98 provided some funny segments but ultimately became character assassination. Now devoid of the menace and dramatic flair he had in ECW, Raven understandably ditched WCW soon after.
