During a recent episode of his 83 Weeks Podcast, Eric Bischoff discussed his opinion on how Raven, when he initially joined WCW, may have benefited from having some additional context provided to him.
Bischoff admitted that he was putting the blame on himself for failing to develop a more compelling history for Raven.
“That was actually me putting heat on myself for not creating a backstory, not allowing the audience to get why your character was in the frame of mind it was in. It was like that grunge kind of frustrated, that angst that was such, at least to me, a part of that character, but the audience never got a chance to understand why and I think had that backstory played itself out for a period of weeks or months. and then we integrate the Raven character, and physicality and then storyline, I think it would have had a much better opportunity to be successful.”
