The enigmatic Raven is one of the most celebrated and the most controversial characters in wrestling history. A champion in ECW, WCW, WWE, and TNA; he is most known for his ruthless tactics and ability to control others into his bidding.

“Quote The Raven….Nevermore” –

the famous Edgar Allen Poe quote has served as Raven’s trademark for many years. Ironically, Raven’s legacy may mirror that of the famous writer, as he borders on spiraling into madness in his quest to achieve his self-described “destiny” to become NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Much like Jim Morrison’s personality transcended music, Raven’s career has transcended wrestling – with a touch of pure evil.

The hardcore legend is known as one of the most sadistic and barbaric stars to ever step foot in the ring. In 2005, fulfilled his lifelong destiny to become the NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

It didn't come easy for Raven as he was faced with then-World Champion, Jeff Jarrett, after his entry into TNA Wrestling in 2003. From there, Raven would go against the likes of AJ Styles and Ron Killings among others on his path to fulfill his destiny. There was a roadblock along the way, however, and it was James Mitchell. At the time, Mitchell was bringing in hired hands to take out Raven as punishment. Unlike Mitchell, Raven was versatile in taking care of issues one to one like a man. Raven disposed of James Mitchell in a bloody war after taking out each of Mitchell's disciples, but not before the maniacal manager scalped his longtime foe in one of the most heinous acts in TNA history.
