Pro wrestling legend and IMPACT Hall of Famer Raven had a conversation with Fightful.com on a variety of topics such as how he likes going back to MLW because they always aspired to be like ECW, but they never claimed to be the new ECW.
Raven said:
“I like going back for MLW because they always aspired to be ECW-like. They aspired for it, but they weren’t like some of the other aspirants where they were claiming to be the new [ECW]. So I always liked that about them. They didn’t overpress their own coverage, you know what I mean? They didn’t out-kick the coverage. They knew what they were, and they didn’t have to over-brag about it, overhype it.”
Raven also talked about how he likes working for MLW and how he likes working for people like MLW CEO and owner Court Bauer because they have a knowledge and a joy for his character.
Raven said:
“So I like working for them. I’m really glad I got to go back ‘cause I always liked Court. I always felt like I helped him a little bit, and he’s always said that.” “So that’s probably where I got it from. I like working for people that have a knowledge and a joy for my character, which he really does. [Paul E.] really did, but other people didn’t. I really love working for Court, and I really like what we’re doing, which I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say.”
Raven then talked about making an appearance for MLW and how the promotion did some really cool stuff with him.
Raven said:
“How I’m going to appear, I suppose I can’t really talk about. But it’s really good. The stuff we shot was really, really good. That’s not just hyperbole. I can embellish to an extent, but I’m not going to lie and just say things that aren’t true to get ratings. All ego aside, they did some really cool sh*t with me.”
