What About Him? What About Raven?

Scott Levy has been wrestling professionally since 1988, winning a load of titles along the way.  He has worked as a wrestling producer, wrestling writer, booker and more over the years.
Levy is best known by the name Raven, although he has used other names.  It is the Raven character which really launched him into stardom.  He has wrestled everywhere in every type of match (some of which he invented).  He is an innovator and possesses one of the most creative minds in wrestling.  He is the type of guy that wrestling needs.
For their debut event, Resistance Pro Wrestling invited Raven.  He didn't wrestle on the card, but he received a huge ovation when announced.  He was also one of the most popular guests at the after party.
I have met Levy several times before and it is always cool.  Raven is an unsung hero in the history of wrestling.  I think his legacy will grow as the years pass and fans realize just how much he gave to the business.
Bringing in Raven for their debut event was a great movie by Resistance Pro.  Their next event is this Friday, 1/13.  It will be hard to top their Black Friday debut, but I know they plan on making it bigger and better.  Check back here for the full report.

What About Raven?

At the Motor City Comic Con 2010, I met wrestler Raven for the first time. Several years ago, JayHawk Evans and I saw Raven wrestling up close at the Pillman Memorial event in 2001. Raven and Justin Credible brawled outside of the ring, practically in JayHawk's lap, but we were never formally introduced.
Raven was an interesting guest at the MCCC. I have to applaud him for his merchandise selection. Look at the table in front of us. There are at least 10 8x10's, a tshirt and some old magazines (with Raven on the cover). That is how you do a show. Raven sold a ton of stuff, because he had a ton of stuff from every phase of his career. He appealed to the fans from all over his 20+ year career.
Too often I see celebs with just a couple photos for sale. They are limiting their success and disappointing fans, too. Bringing a few more photos doesn't increase the luggage that much and it is well worth it.
Raven (or Scott Levy) was spotted at several vendor tables during the weekend. He is a noted comic fan. He looked to be having a lot of fun just perusing the many tables.
Raven would have seemed to have had the perfect weekend. He presented the perfect table for merchandise sales maximization and he probably added a few pieces to his comic collection.
