The Raven character turned Scott Levy into one of ECW's biggest stars during the mid-1990's, and that success parlayed into a great run in WCW from 1997-1999. Sadly, Vince McMahon didn't view Raven as anything special and the character struggled to rise above mid-card mediocrity in WWE upon joining in 2000.

That was a source of much frustration for Raven, but he explained this week how he managed to turn a negative into a positive and defy company expectations to thrive despite a lack of interest from the creative team.

Raven's story is joined by facts about the likes of Jerry 'The King' Lawler, Ken Shamrock, The Rockers and Charlotte Flair. There are also fresh stories about a special stipulation match John Morrison pitched to WWE and exactly what WWE told Kurt Angle he couldn't do during his Hall Of Fame induction right before WrestleMania 33.

Let's dig in and look at this week's facts...
