On Thursday morning, Raven met with WWF officials to discuss his potential future with the company. Raven is currently working for ECW under a contract that is just days from expiring. Meanwhile, Raven also is still under a WCW no compete [for WWF] clause that expires around the same time. This will be the first time since his departure from ECW in 1997 that Raven has had so many options. The WWF has at least some interest, WCW would probably jump at the chance of picking up Raven if they think they can get him, and certainly ECW would like to keep Raven... even though Raven and Paul Heyman have been having their problems on and off again over the last 10 months since Raven returned to the company.
At this point it is not sure exactly how Raven's meeting with the WWF went. However we have had it confirmed by Raven and some of his closest friends that he has always dreamed of being a star in the WWF and that is where he wants to be now.
But if the WWF does sign him... are they signing him for what we know him as... Raven? Or does the WWF still think of him in the lower card, Johnny Polo status that he held during his brief tenure with the company in 1994 (including those backstage interviews at WrestleMania X).
Certainly there are options for Raven and hopefully the doors he wishes to enter are fully open for him. If the doors are not fully open and Raven does not get the spot he is looking for, he may be better off settling for his second choice and not getting buried in the political wrestling games that
plagued his time in WCW in 1999.
