Raven and Jake the Snake Roberts could cut promos better than 90% of today's roster. This is the man that they need at the Performance Center teaching promo classes.
In Raven, you had a performer who could do anything that was asked of him and make it work. It's a crime that WCW and WWE were content to ask so little of him.
The WWE missed the boat on Raven, as they pushed him almost exclusively as a hardcore wrestler. That is not what Raven was about. The Raven character had so much more to offer than barbwire and steel chairs.
It's amusing how he throws in those quotes from 90's alternative rock songs. He definitely used some lyrics from "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins, "Name" by the Goo Goo Dolls, and certainly a few others.
