10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 15)

5. Raven Saw Himself As A Failure For Never Being WWE Champion

Raven's title haul includes stints as WWE Hardcore, WCW Light-Heavyweight, United States and Tag-Team, ECW World Heavyweight and Tag-Team, NWA World Champion and a whole host of other belts on the independent circuit. In other words, he's had a quite brilliant career.

Try telling the man himself that when he was sitting in a psychologist's chair.

During an appearance on Sean Mooney's Prime Time podcast, Raven revealed that he once viewed his entire wrestling career as one colossal failure because he was never WWE World Champion. To the shrink, that was ridiculous, so he/she asked Raven how he'd see such a career if it was someone else.

That's when the former ECW star, who also enjoyed stunning feuds with Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman, started to make peace with himself. Until then, he'd held himself accountable for not managing to hold the top prize in his industry.

Finally, after years of self-doubt, Raven accepted that he'd had a successful career.
