Raven was king in ECW, and most of his power and influence was built upon the backs of his underlings, hired guns, and hangers-on. It was a more heterogeneous grouping than Raven's other cults, but they did good work: they brought him a pair of ECW World Heavyweight titles, as well as a tag title run alongside Stevie Richards, his most devoted follower.
Ultimately, the nebulous entity that was The Nest did its job, which was to keep whatever babyface was chasing Raven -- usually either Tommy Dreamer or The Sandman -- from getting their hands on him. And, uh, occasionally literally crucifying a guy.
