Dude, I can't tell you how disappointed I was the next night when Goldberg squashed the Flock and then Raven. I have to believe that is why they let Raven come to the ring with the title at the PPV so he actually got the chance to do it. Kind of a joke really, especially since Raven as US Champion with the Flock could have been so entertaining. I agree completely, instead of doing Raven vs. Goldberg with Goldberg going over the next night they could have made it into a feud going to Great American Bash. On Nitro they could have made Raven vs. Goldberg and as soon as Goldberg had him up with the spear Lodi could have ran in, hit him with the stop sign, and took the beating for Raven. Every week Raven could have cut promos calling Goldberg out and then having Flock members attack him. At some point Raven would have to get the upper hand so on a Nitro when Goldberg was walking to his match he would see say someone taunting at him, the guy would run away and Goldberg would chase him, the chase would lead to the parking lot where Raven would deck him over the head with a chair and the Flock would pummel him to the ground, Raven would then pick him up and Evenflow him on the concrete. The feud with DDP could have continued and they could have made tag-team matches of Goldberg & DDP vs. Flock members. Raven and DDP would've had their match at Slamboree and Goldberg would still wrestle Saturn. With the stipulation being that if Goldberg won he got a title shot. They then would have continued their feud into GAB and Raven vs. Goldberg would be a Ravens Rules match, Goldberg would win after a tough battle, he'd be the U.S. Champion, and Raven would have looked credible because he took Goldberg to his limit. Maybe that sounds better in my head... but I think that's how it should've been booked. Love it! Yeah I was seriously pissed they only gave Raven a 1-day title reign. WCW had a solid 2-month+ feud wasted in a single night. Sadly this wasn't something new to WCW. |

Raven's talents were really just terribly used in WCW. They never really gave him a chance to have any type of momentum. In 1998 when he was one of the most hated people in WCW he could've wrestled Sting on Nitro for the belt and the match would've been great just for the atmosphere alone. Everyone was wanting to see someone shut up Raven and Sting could've been the person to do it. But, instead they gave Sting the belt, stripped him, didn't book him or Hogan for the following PPV, booked the rematch in February, and basically made Sting second fiddle even though he was the hottest thing in WCW at the time.
