Raven : Part 2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: 'WrestlePalooza' 1997

Although the two had feuded for most of the past 2 and a half years, Tommy Dreamer had never actually scored a victory over Raven. Days before 'WrestlePalooza', Raven signed a contract with WCW and was told by WCW that he could stick around ECW until 'Hardcore Heaven' 1997. Tommy Dreamer, however, wanted him gone sooner, so he proposed the loser-leaves-ECW bout, which Raven accepted. Thus on June 7, 1997, at 'WrestlePalooza', the match was held and Tommy Dreamer got his first win over Raven, sending Raven off to WCW sooner than he had expected to leave.

Answer: June 30, 1997

Less than a month after leaving ECW, Raven was spotted in the first row on an episode of 'Nitro' on June 30, 1997. Commentator Mike Tenay tried to find out why he was there, but got no answer. During the main event of the show with Diamond Dallas Page, the Giant, and Lex Luger vs. Randy Savage and the Outsiders, a number of people made run-ins, including Raven who jumped over the guardrail and got into a staredown with Scott Hall, but never got involved with the brawl.

The following week, his former ECW lackey Stevie Richards joined him in WCW, as Raven began his latest group, the Flock.

Answer: 'Clash of the Champions XXXV'

On August 21, 1997, after having 'negotiated' a contract for himself in WCW, Raven finally made his ring re-debut against his lackey, Stevie Richards, in a 'Raven's Rules' match. Raven defeated Richards with the DDT, after dominating most of the match. Stevie would only stay for a few more months until he departed back to ECW.

Answer: 11

Although not all of them were in the group at the same time, there were a total of 11 members of the Flock. They were Raven, Stevie Richards, Perry Saturn, Billy Kidman, Chris Kanyon (Mortis), Scotty Riggs, Horace, Sick Boy, Lodi, Van Hammer, and Reese.

Answer: Diamond Dallas Page

During an episode of 'MTV Live' on March 18, 1998, following interviews with the Foo Fighters and Matthew McConaughey, Carson Daly went on to talk with Dallas Page. During the interview, a monitor began to show Raven from backstage. He began to talk but the monitor went staticy on him, as DDP laughed.

The static then went away as Raven said the following: 'How come there's no static for Matthew McWannabe? How come there's no static for the Foo Fighters? And how come there's no static for Diamond Dallas Page. You ripped me off of my US title and now I'm gonna rip you off. Quote the Raven nevermore!' Just as the image left the screen, Raven hit the scene and blind-sided DDP with a shot to the head with a stop sign.

As Carson and the Foo Fighers moved out of the way in disbelief, Raven then DDT'd DDP through a nearby table. Raven then looked at the camera, pointed to the U.S. title and said 'Yeah, the US title.

This should be mine, this should be mine right now. In fact, I think it will be (takes the title) Quote the Raven nevermore'. Raven then walked off camera with the belt in tow.

Answer: 'Spring Stampede' 1998

Raven had feuded with Diamond Dallas Page and Chris Benoit since January 1998 and the feud escalated with Page after Raven jumped Page on an episode of 'MTV Live'. While Benoit moved onto a feud with Booker T, Raven and Page continued to fight over the U.S. title, leading to their match at Spring Stampede. On April 19, 1998, Raven, still bringing with him the U.S. title and with his Flock in ringside seats, met up with Page. Sickboy made an early attempt to take out Page that proved unsuccessful as Page and Raven soon brawled to the floor.

The two began to fight near some of the 'Spring Stampede' props around the aisle, including a stagecoach that Raven tried to climb before being tossed from it into some bales of hay. Page, however, then climbed the stagecoach and dived down onto Raven.

They continued to make use of more props before making their way back to the ring. They fought for another few minutes before Raven called on his Flock to begin to run interference. Billy Kidman, Van Hammer, Sickboy and Lodi all ran in, unsuccessfully, as Page fought them off one at a time, before Reese gave Raven the lead with a modified-Baldo Bomb onto Page. Raven could only get a 2 as Page took the advantage right back. Kidman ran at Page again and took a diamond cutter, however, distracting Page from seeing the debuting Horace nail him from behind with a Stop sign. With Page stunned, Raven DDT'd him onto a kitchen sink that had been brought into the ring and got a 3 count and the U.S. title for real seconds later at the matchtime of 11:51.

The U.S. title would be the highest solo achievement Raven would hold in WCW. The next night, however, Raven lost the U.S. title to Goldberg on 'Nitro', making his reign stand at only one day.

Answer: Mortis

With his feud with Dallas Page not yet settled, Raven challenged Page to a 'Bowery Cage Death Match'. Page accepted and thus the cage with weapons match was signed. Raven, who had been jumped by a mystery person a few times in the month leading to the PPV, had forced WCW Commissioner J.J. Dillon to give him a security team, and he brought them with him to the ring. Page and Raven made good use of the various weapons that were placed on the turnbuckles and other places in the cage, including a garbage can, bullrope and even a VCR.

The two took turns working over the other, trying to knock each other out for a 10 count to win the bout. After 5 minutes of this, the ref got knocked out and Raven's Flock began to come ringside. Passing by Raven's guards, Reese, Scotty Riggs and Sickboy broke the lock to the cage, but before they could enter the ring, Van Hammer, who had been recently fired from the Flock, came out from under the ring and ambushed the 3 Flock members and left them laying before Raven's guards escorted him to the back.

After returning, 2 of the guards entered the ring and un-masked, revealing themselves as Flock members Kidman and Horace who went right after Page. Page managed to fight them off, but was soon hit in the head with a fire extinguisher by Raven, who then hit Page with his own finisher, the Diamond Cutter. DDP managed to answer the count by the re-vived ref at 8. DDP and Raven brawled back and forth once more, until DDP caught Raven with a Diamond Cutter of his own, which was enough to leave Raven down for the 10 count, giving Page the win to the match and the feud. As Page left the cage to celebrate amongst the fans, the 3rd of Raven's guards began to handcuff the fallen Flock members to the guardrail before entering the ring and handcuffing Kidman and Horace to the cage. The guard then worked over Raven for a bit before handcuffing him to the cage as well. The masked guard then removed his mask to reveal...another mask. The mask of Mortis, the man whom the Flock had been tormenting for some time when not dealing with Page. Mortis then un-masked himself, revealing his face to the world as the wrestler known as Chris Kanyon. He then picked up a chair and blasted Raven over the head with it. Kanyon then left the cage and would go on to be Raven's next big feud over the summer months, after also admitting to being the mystery man who had been attacking Raven.

Answer: September 13, 1998

Having had a falling out with his former Flock teammate Perry Saturn a few months earlier, the two had begun a feud over what should be done with the rest of the Flock. Saturn wanted Raven to disband the Flock. Raven, of course, had no such interest in doing so. Finally at Fall Brawl 1998, September 13, a match was held between the two with the stipulation being that if Saturn won, the Flock would be dissolved and Raven would have to go it alone, and if Raven won, Saturn would have to re-join the Flock. Raven was accompained to the ring by Flock member Lodi and also Chris Kanyon, whom had joined up with Raven after a few months of feuding. Kanyon, however, was forced to be handcuffed to a ringside rope so that he could not interfere in the match. Saturn then came to the ring and he and Raven exchanged words.

The bell rang and the match began. Raven took the early lead before Saturn came back with a number of suplexes, kicks and more to send Raven reeling to the floor. Saturn worked over Raven some more until Lodi distracted Saturn long enough to let Raven get a move in and take the lead. Raven tossed Saturn back in and worked Saturn over for a few minutes before Saturn came back with a lowblow. Saturn took over, even catching Raven with a drop toehold into a chair, one of Raven's usual holds done onto himself. Flock members Horace, Scotty Riggs, Sickboy and Kidman arrived soon thereafter at ringside with a table, but Kidman then darted off to the top rope where he stunned the Flock by nailing Raven with a flying dropkick. Raven then was caught in a Death Valley Driver by Saturn, but it only got a 2 count. Horace, Sickboy and Riggs, meanwhile, attempted to chase Kidman down and ran after him to the back. Saturn quickly went on the offensive, nailing Raven with a variety of manuevers, ending with a Michinoku Driver that only got 2. Saturn then applied the Rings of Saturn onto Raven. Raven wouldn't give it up and Saturn broke the hold after Lodi jumped on the apron for the distraction. Raven got up and grabbed a hold of Saturn, but got low-blowed, as Saturn also knocked Lodi down from the top rope where he had climbed. Saturn went back to work on Raven, but the ref wound up getting knocked out as Saturn got tossed into the corner. Kanyon, seeing the ref down in front of him, pickpocketed the key from the ref and uncuffed himself. Kanyon quickly entered the ring and nailed Saturn with his finisher, the Flatliner.

He then placed Raven on top of Saturn before running back to the corner...and re-cuffing himself and waking up the ref. The ref could only make 2 before Saturn kicked out. Saturn then low-blowed Raven and knocked Lodi off the apron again, this time through the table brought to ringside earlier. He turned around into the Evenflow DDT by Raven, however, but only for 2. The 2 then fought for another minute before Saturn managed to catch Raven in a 2nd DVD for the 3 count as Kanyon vainly tried to run back in, only to, of course, find himself re-handcuffed and unable to unlock himself again in time to make the save. The Flock was set free by Saturn, and Raven would be without a group of flunkys from then on.

Answer: Chastity

Around the end of 1998, Raven had become more depressed than usual, due to the loss of his Flock, and his mother showed up at Nitro. She wanted him to come back home for a while, and he reluctantly agreed. Once back home, the cameras quickly caught up with the rest of his family, including his 'sister', played by one of his former valets, Chastity.

A week later, Raven's 'friend' Jim turned up as a visitor to the house. Jim, formerly the Sandman, would soon be written right out of this storyline and start wrestling in WCW as Hak. Chastity followed Raven back to the ring in early 1999 as well, before turning on him at 'Uncensored' 1999 to join up with Hak.

Answer: The Deadpool

Having suffered some injuries in the May of 1999, during a short tag title reign, with, of all people, Perry Saturn, Raven returned to action on July 19, 1999 during a Konnan vs. Vampiro bout. Raven and the Insane Clown Posse interfered on behalf of Vampiro, drawing in Konnan's allies to support him. Raven, Vampiro and the Clowns soon became the Deadpool. Raven, however, would only be in the group for a little more than a month before accepting his release out of WCW.

Answer: Tommy Dreamer

On August 26, 1999, just days after having left WCW, Raven came to the rescue of his old enemy Tommy Dreamer, who was getting beaten up in a 2 on 1 bout vs. the Dudley Boyz. Raven, unannounced, hit the ring, DDT'd Buh Buh, and scored the pinfall, winning the two the tag titles in the process. Raven and Dreamer would have a very un-easy alliance and tag reign that would last until January 2000.

Answer: 'Anarchy Rulz' 1999

On September 19, 1999, Raven returned to ECW Pay-Per-View, teaming with Tommy Dreamer in a successful tag title defense over Steve Corino and Jack Victory.

Answer: 4

Raven has held the ECW TagTeam Titles 4 times. The first was won June 20, 1995, with Stevie Richards over the Public Enemy. The second was won with Stevie Richards over the Pitbulls on October 7, 1995. The third was with Tommy Dreamer over the Dudley Boyz on August 26, 1999. And the fourth was on March 4, 2000 with Mike Awesome over Tommy Dreamer and Masato Tanaka.

Answer: Missy Hyatt

Missy Hyatt never acted as a valet for Raven. Francine turned on Tommy Dreamer and joined up with Raven in March 2000 and left him for Justin Credible in April 2000. Lori, the Sandman's ex-wife, was with him from June 1996 to February 1997. Kimona, who Raven brought in after Beulah left him for Tommy Dreamer, was with Raven from January 1996 to April 1996.

Answer: Rhino and Scotty Anton

On the July 14, 2000 episode of ECW on TNN, Raven came to the ring to make his goodbye speach to the ECW crowd. Before he could say much, Scotty Anton (former Flock member under the name Scotty Riggs) and Cyrus made their way to the ring. Cyrus and Anton bad-mouthed Raven, until Raven laid out Anton with a DDT, drawing in Rhino, who gored Raven through a table. Scotty Anton than put Raven in a sharpshooter before The Sandman came to Raven's rescue.

Answer: 'No Mercy' 2000

At No Mercy 2000, Raven teamed with Tazz in a tables guantlet match. They defeated the team of Too Cool before losing to the Dudley Boyz when D-Von legdropped Tazz through a table.

Answer: Steve Blackman for the Hardcore title

On the December 22, 2000 episode of 'RAW', Raven defeated Steve Blackman outside the building for his first ever title in the WWF, the Hardcore title, a title he would go onto hold several times in the coming year.

Answer: Tori

Starting with an apperance on the February 9, 2001 episode of 'SmackDown', a masked ninja girl began to interfere on the behalf of Raven in his matches, helping him escape with his newly won Hardcore title. Finally on the March 11, 2001 episode of 'Heat', Molly Holly got a hold of Raven's ninja girl and de-masked her, reavealing her to be Tori. Tori would disappear soon after, turning up months later on 'Tough Enough'.

Answer: William Regal

Raven, now representing ECW in the WWF, took on and defeated WWF Commissioner William Regal with a DDT after getting some help from Tazz.

Answer: a mop

Raven's old Flock teammate, former tag team partner and former enemy Perry Saturn had been going around with a mop after suffering one concussion too many. This annoyed Saturn's valet, Terri, who took off with Saturn's mop and wound up becoming Raven's latest valet soon after. On the September 17, 2001 episode of RAW, Raven sent Saturn's mop through a wood-chipper, further agitating him. Saturn would get some revenge, scoring a win over Raven at 'Unforgiven' 2001.
