10 Lesser-Known Ridiculous WCW Moments

7. Raven's Faking It

Raven made a career out of playing the tortured loner, taking the gimmick from ECW to WCW. The character was largely unchanged in the latter organization, at least at first. After a couple of years, though, it was revealed that Raven actually came from a wealthy family, and his mom was worried about him.

That prompted a visit from Kanyon, who came to cheer up his friend. After he appealed to the star to try and get out of the dumps for the sake of his friends and family, though, Raven broke the fourth wall, looking straight at the camera and commenting, "What a mark!"

It turned out that Raven wasn't depressed at all - he was simply pretending in order to keep mooching off of his rich parents. To that end, Raven took Kanyon out for a spin in his sports car, went to the bank to take out a bunch of money, then went shopping for fancy suits.

The video probably didn't do anything for Raven's character in the long run, but it was surreal in an "Did I just imagine that?" sort of way.
