10 Ideas WWE Blatantly STOLE From WCW
6. Raven’s “Flock”
Eric Bischoff has dismissed Raven as anything more than a solid midcard act, and he doesn't think the walking grunge rocker with a troubled childhood could've main-evented WCW cards in the late-1990s. That's fair enough, but Raven could do something else: Catch the WWF's eye and influence The Undertaker's career direction.
It's true.
Raven's "Flock" followed him around like lost puppies. Perry Saturn, Kidman, Sick Boy, Lodi and more were all misfit toys who didn't appear to have much of a place elsewhere on the roster when they started cosying up to their leader in 1997. What does that sound like? 'Taker's Ministry Of Darkness, that's what - the likes of Mideon, Viscera, The Brood and Acolytes all fit that misfit mould in 1999 too.
This writer firmly believes that the Ministry was a souped-up Satanic version of Raven's "Flock". The presentation was eerily similar, and Raven always carried himself like some wannabe deity who could do no wrong (everybody else was the problem) anyway.
