Thank You, RD and Harry, for finally inducting The Raven Family Saga. I've been waiting for this one for a while now, as it's the one moment in WCW history when I realized they were doomed. As soon as I saw the Sandman playing his next-door neighbor, I knew that it was over for them. And then, to have the same man show up as...gah..."Hardcore Hak" (another future induction, I'd figure. After all, he had a...thing with Raven's "sister" Chastity) pretty much killed off most of my appreciation for the company. But this was priceless. "What a mark!", indeed.

I have two complaints about this weeks induction.
1.) I am almost as sick of the gay Kanyon jokes as I am the Eddie Guerrero usage. Ok, he's gay, now let's move on with our lives.
2.) He spent 97 words apparently talking about the angle, when in reality he was just making a comment about a conversation about Bobby Eaton, who had nothing to do with the angle.
Am I the only one who is not exactly a big fan of the introductions written by others then RD?

krazyeman, i agree. Sometimes the inductions not written by RD just doesn't quite cut it, i think. they're ok, but not at all as good as RD's. then again, some of them are also really damn good!

Something about this induction confused me. Was the character the artist currently known as Sandman played really "Jim"? Because I could have sworn someone came from this storyline (with Chasity as their valet) named "Hack" (and regardless of this, I could have also sworn there was a subtle Dewy reference in one of their conversations)

He was Jim at first. I was watching the videos a few weeks back of this angle. It seemed strange to me in 98-99 and still does today.

RD is wrong about this though.
Raven DID smile before this goofy storyline.
Back during the whole feud with Sandman, he smiled AND laughed while having Tyler Fullington under his control.
Granted it was an evil smile and laugh, but a smile and laugh nonetheless.

As a kid I liked this storyline. I vaguely remember it now, but I remember that I thought it was a good twist to have the reason why Raven is the way he is because he came from a rich lifestyle that he never liked and wanted to reject.
I never noticed the oddness of this storyline until I saw it inducted, but surely I'm not the only one who thought that it's such a good pyschological twist to have someone who seems so poor, so demented and so downtrotten in life to come from a well to do family.
And yes, this induction lead me to make an account...

1.) I am almost as sick of the gay Kanyon jokes as I am the Eddie Guerrero usage. Ok, he's gay, now let's move on with our lives. Well recently he's been saying that WWE fired him because he was gay, and I know he's come under fire before for going on and on about his homosexuality when people don't really care, so you could argue that if he would move on with his life perhaps everyone else would move on with theirs.
