I've heard a lot about some idea Raven had involving the seven deadly sins. He brought it up to creative but they didn't like it, right?
What did he have in mind exactly?

IIRC he wanted to do a long, multi-layer angle on Heat where he would go from wrestler to wrestler feuding with them with each feud based on one of the seven sins. Again, if memory serves, The Hurricane feud was to be based around the sin of pride, Matt Hardy and Lita around lust or envy, etc.

Again, if memory serves, The Hurricane feud was to be based around the sin of pride, Matt Hardy and Lita around lust or envy, etc. Something like that. I think the way he had planned it out was it would culminate with Lust for Matt towards Lita, and then Raven would reveal himself as Envy for wanting Lita and start a feud.

So Tommy Dreamer would have been sloth? Then who's Gluttony? Also, you have to have two Greeds, and maybe a second Pride and Sloth to go with the second Wrath to be found in WCW.

I don't think it was that Vince didn't like the idea, Raven said Vince loved it, and loved it so much that he considered putting Raven on the creative team and took the time to watch a few of his Heat matches on the monitors. As far as why it never happened, who knows?

I thought it began and he broke someone's fingers after a match. Wasn't that the beginning of that angle?
I thought it was suppose to lead to a new version of the flock because it wasn't too long after the rtc disbanded and Richards was going to join with Buchanan and Godfather as Papa Shango. This may have been a few years before.

Start of the whole Ruthless Aggression Era, blah blah blah. And he broke the fingers of one Aaron "Idol" Stevens.

Raven went into heavy detail about this in the part 2 edition of his RF shoot interview. Probably the longest, most detailed shoot interview I've seen. I know wrestlers get paid for doing these but, I'm sure Scotty would of done it for free as it took him about 10-15 minutes to answer a single question. Definitely get your money's worth here as I always miss something whenever I watch it again.

It sounds like it would be an awesome angle actually. WWE should bring in a character and run this angle. Would suit that weird, British, cyber-terrorist guy who had one promo segment before getting future endeavoured. WWE should hire him back and give him the Seven Sins angle

I was fascinated by the idea of this angle when Raven first mentioned it on TV. I watched Heat and Raw, eagerly anticipating the next chapter, which....never really came. I think he did a little backstage vignette about gluttony, but that's literally all I remember about the angle. I was hoping it was gonna lead to him forming a new version of The Flock, based around the Seven Deadly Sins, but it just never happened.

As far as why it never happened, who knows? I always believed he was canned because when the angle started to unfold, some of the writers were threatened by his creative genius and wanted him out.
