10 Greatest Paul Heyman Creations
7. Raven
Prior to joining ECW, Scott Levy was still finding himself in the wrestling business. Having been part of WCW's Light Heavyweight division as Scotty Flamingo and a loudmouth manager in WWF as Johnny Polo, Levy had yet to reach his potential in the wrestling industry. Luckily for Levy, that would all change when he entered ECW.
Rechristened as the grungy Raven character, Levy was given the opportunity to explore his dark side. He became the complete antithesis of everything he had been before, trading the neon colours for black and delivering brooding promos laced with twisted rhetoric.
Unlike Scotty Flamingo and Johnny Polo, Raven was a complex individual with serious depth to explore on-screen. The emotional storylines that followed further enhanced his character's presentation as a tortured soul and elevated Levy to heights he would likely have never achieved without the gimmick.
Raven went on to become ECW Champion twice and hold the ECW Tag Team Championship on four occasions. He also went on to great success in both WCW and WWF with memorable mid-card runs in both promotions, before enjoying a career resurgence in TNA with one final World Title run.
