8 Wrestlers You Didn't Know Were Jewish

5. Raven

In the 1990s, Extreme Championship Wrestling had a reputation for taking some of the talented grapplers who were overlooked or underutilized by WWE and WCW and allowing them to develop into interesting characters and talented performers. One of the greatest examples was Raven, who was a manager in WWE under the name Johnny Polo and a wrestler in WCW as Scotty Flamingo, but never really got a chance to live up to his potential. In ECW, Raven found himself, becoming a grungy, nihilistic genius who engaged in legendary feuds with The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer. In one infamous angle, Raven (with help from Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie) tied The Sandman (atheist Jim Fullington) to a cross. A legitimately angry Taz confronted Raven backstage, asking him how he would feel if somebody did the same thing with a Star of David. Raven could only muse, "Do you know how many boards of wood that would take?".
