mattdangerously Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wasn't online much at the time, so I'm curious: Did Raven coming back to ECW come as a surprise? Or was it well- known he'd left WCW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 IIRC it was pretty well-known. At least I knew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I remember losing my shit like I was a freaking little girl when they did that reveal. Arn being in disbelief and saying that Ricky was "just a man" had me fanboying so damn hard.

Stuttsy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wasn't online much at the time, so I'm curious: Did Raven coming back to ECW come as a surprise? Or was it well- known he'd left WCW? IIRC it was pretty well-known. At least I knew... It was pretty well known that he was headed to ECW but they did something kinda cool with it. At the Queens show that was right after Raven left, Paul E did an in-ring promo about mid-way through the show and someone (multiple someones) start shouting for Raven. Paul E stops in mid-speech and says something to the effect of "You'll get him in 90 days when his no compete's up, promise" and then he finishes his promo and goes on about the show. Raven returns in the final segment helping Dreamer beat the Dudleys and winning the tag-team titles. But I always thought that was a neat little "swerve" way of addressing the obvious without completely giving away the surprise - it seemed plausible enough to quell the speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah, we all knew Raven was showing up in ECW. He walked out with Eddy/Dean/Perry/HWSNBN, but it was pretty quickly established that WWF had no interest in him at the time. Which didn't leave many options.

ebbie Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Cena coming back at the Royal Rumble was fucking insane. Like, "What the fuck is this guy made out of?" disbelief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Jericho returning at the Rumble last year was surprising. I didn't see the Diesel return (2011?) coming either. I still remember freaking the fuck out at Lesnar's return and waking up my roommate at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah, we all knew Raven was showing up in ECW. He walked out with Eddy/Dean/Perry/HWSNBN, but it was pretty quickly established that WWF had no interest in him at the time. Which didn't leave many options. No he walked before that. Eric Bischoff gave a speech where he said that anyone who wanted to leave could go - no strings. Raven was all 'yes please' (he wasn't the only one), but then Eric Bischoff said that they could go but not to WWE. Raven left for ECW anyway, but got signed by WWE soon after the WCW contract expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
