Raven/Tazz Feud


** WWF officials are very pleased with the current situation within the Hardcore Division. Everything is going as planned, and they are hoping that the current feud between Raven and Tazz will help both them and the title over. WWF has big plans for Raven and Tazz and want to get them over with the crowd as quickly as possible. They figure why not go to what got them over to begin with and that's Hardcore wrestling. They know that both Raven and Tazz can put on a top-notch Hardcore match and keep the crowd interested. They felt the match on this past Monday's Raw was great and hope that they can continue to work great matches and help get everyone including the HC title over.

* Raven has been impressing officials with his stint as hardcore champ. Look for him and Blackman to have a feud with possibly the Hollies to be added into the mix. This program will last most likely 2 PPV's length at the most(pure speculation on the length).

* Raven will be filming some vignettes very soon. The vignettes plan to reveal more about Ravens alleged past, which is hoped will add more depth to his character within the federation, and it should get him more exposure. The vignettes are likely to be filmed in run down looking areas, like Tazzs were, to reflect the hardship of his childhood which these vignettes will depict. The vignettes should begin to air towards the end of the month on WWF television, Raven may however miss sometime from WWF TV while these are being filmed, although that is not confirmed.

News on Raven's Push


- Raven will be receiving more of a push over the next few weeks. On Raw, he was given a Hardcore match against Hardcore Holly, a match he won. Look for Raven to begin a program with Chris Jericho, as Jericho has been in need of a good, solid feud, and Raven is looking to be pushed to the next level.

-Raven and Hardcore Holly will be involved in a heated feud over the next few weeks. The WWF is trying to push Raven deeper into the hardcore division as they see him as a true hardcore wrestler. He may wind up someday in the hardcore title picture with Steve Blackman.

Look for the feud between Hardcore Holly and Raven to continue. Raven has recently taped some vignettes and will be given more microphone time to develop his character on TV. These two are expected to have a similar feud like Holly had with Al Snow. Both men will wrestle a series of hardcore matches that are expected to go outside the arena and into the streets.

- Raven will be pushed into The Hardcore Division in the upcoming weeks. Look for him to begin a feud with both Steve Blackman and Hardcore Holly. As far as Tazz is concerned, he and Raven should be officially splitting up in the upcoming weeks, as Tazz will continue his singles push. YIPPY their splitting up, and it's about time too!

- Word, and rumors have been saying that Raven has been talking to WWF Officials about when he is going to get his push. Raven right now will stay mostly in hardcore matches, and will possibly give a run at the title some point in the near future. Raven is happier just being a hardcore wrestler rather than a ring wrestler, since his arsenal of in ring moves is pretty limited. He will bring new variations to the hardcore fights, and due to the huge amount of good feedback the WWF got on his backstage fights, most of the Hardcore division will shy away from the ring.(Complete Credit to Bill Watson & 2xzone.com)

* Many office and backstage workers were pleased with the turnout of the Hardcore match during SmackDown two night's ago involving Raven and Hardcore Holly. The WWF had ideas to go back to the older style of Hardcore fighting, and it proved to be a success. Word is that these type of matches will continue in the future since the WWF got such a positive reaction to them. It is also part of Raven's little change?....Damn Scott was thrown out onto moving traffic during his match, what's sooo great about that? Raven's little change, what is that all about, that is well unless their changing his gimmick?? Why can't they just leave him and his character the hell alone, go mess with somebody else will you!

Steve Blackman vs. Raven may continue for quite a while. The WWF's main goal was to get Raven "over" as a heel by putting him with Tazz. Now that Raven has been introduced, don't look to see very much of a Tazz/Raven combination any longer. (aww.....Im all "broken" up by that, I know what you're thinking Chica and you're right, thank god) They will both be going singles. Could I be sensing the reformation of Raven's WCW Flock, for those who know me and know how I am when it comes to Scott, then they won't be suprised by my saying that.

Speaking of Tazz/Raven, their feud with Jerry Lawler has come to an end. Don't look for anything to happen between the three in the upcoming weeks.

WWF officials are very pleased with Raven as he is working hard to recapture his timing. Don't be misled about Raven's "standing in the company" by his win-loss record.

Raven is said to be on his best behavior since having returned to WWF. Good behavior may lead him to a major push and a top superstar in the WWF.

Raven is doing great in the WWF despite reports that say he is acting strange in the back and trying to fit in. Everyone who has worked with Scott Levy (Raven) say that he has a great attitude and is doing fine. As long as Raven keeps the postive energy flowing, he will be around for the long run.

And, we all know the deal with Raven. He's either going to work with The Undertaker and Kane, or start up a new flock. Rumored members include himself, Scott Vick (Sick Boy, YES couldn't resist the temptation on that and of course Im STILL WAITING and have been WAITING for OVER a YEAR to see Sicky again, I knew they'd SCREW it up), Perry Saturn, Gangrel, Tom Howard, and Tazz, are you INSANE WWF!?!.

You may have caught yet MORE references from the WWF broadcast team lately in relation to Kane's improved speaking ability. Rest assured that SOMEONE is behind this, and that someone, could be a little bird by the name of Raven. A feud with Rikishi was on the cards, or so everyone thought, it was just a means of throwing off suspicions of Rikishi as the 'devil' driver, so Kane is left in limbo. It's unlikely he will wrestle at No Mercy, but IF it is Raven and/or Tazz, be sure to look for Kane's interjection in their affairs.
