10 Insane Details Wrestlers Put Into Gimmicks (And WWE Didn’t Care)
7. Raven's Seven Deadly Sins...On Sunday Night Heat
The last WWE act of a talent Vince McMahon hilariously never even really wanted to hire, Raven's Seven Deadly Sins act was perfect fodder for the internet forums that current Wrestling Twitter would have you believe didn't exist in 2003.
It's as dated to feel charming now, but there was a prevailing energy amongst those that hadn't given up on WWE that now was the last opportunity for the company to push all your favourites before this f*cking Triple H push destroys us all. They didn't, and it did, with this Sunday Night Heat fare yet another example of a wrestler reaching for a mythical brass ring that'd only be pulled away if they got close to it.
Working through all of the famous trials as virtually nobody looked on, Raven had nonetheless cultivated something of a following for the concept until, with some mutual satisfaction, he was released. WWE cared so little for his departure that he was able to show up on a TNA pay-per-view two days later, jumping straight into a NWA Championship programme with Jeff Jarrett.
