Raven Discusses ECW's Creative Decline Starting With Barely Legal

in WOOGame3 months ago

This clip is from a 2003 interview with Raven, and it was posted on the Title Match Wrestling's YouTube channel. He discusses how ECW wasn't creatively unique by the time ECW's first PPV, Barely Legal, took place. The mention of so many talents who left the company by that time, and the need for more money, led to creative burnout by Paul E.

He talks about his relationship with Paul E. being strained heading into Barely Legal. He also talks about the build up to the PPV not being just Taz vs. Sabu - as it was advertised on the poster promoting the event. Raven discusses how he vs. Tommy Dreamer and the storyline angle between he & The Sandman were the emotional stories which carried ECW television to help ratings.

Other topics he covers are interesting as well.
