Another thing Austin had forgotten about was his love of sending Raven lengthy prank voicemails after Levy had moved on to ECW. Admitting that he's never enjoyed speaking on the phone, Raven even said he gets bad anxiety whenever he thinks about it. That's probably why Austin ended up talking to his mailbox.

Each voicemail would last around 4/5 minutes. Occasionally, Raven would fire one back at Austin when he knew he was busy, but it was usually the future 'Stone Cold' who revelled in winding up his friend. It wasn't uncommon for Raven to hear messages like, "Call me, Raven! Call me! Caw! Caw! Caw!".

At first, Raven wasn't sure who was sending the calls, then he heard Steve's trademark laugh and realised it was his buddy fooling around. The image of a bored Austin sitting around his hotel room in between shows and sending crank calls to ECW stars is a pretty funny one.
