Raven Says He Has Final Say on Documentary, Wanted To Make Sure It Showed All His Baggage

During a recent live recording of The Major WF Podcast, former WWE, WCW, and ECW star Raven spoke about the documentary about this life and career, Nevermore: The Raven Effect. According to the wrestling veteran, he had the final say on the cut, wanting it to show all the positives and negatives of his career. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Raven on having final cut on the documentary: “The documentary, it’s a look at my life and career, warts and all. I had a final say on the cut, so I made sure that it showed all the negative as well as the positive. I felt that the only way, I told the director, who’s a really good guy, Geordie Day. He made a film before on Probert, Bob Probert. I don’t know if anybody’s seen that, but I heard that was really good, and another one on Manson, he won some kind of award for… and he had to get to the question, well, why did a director want to make a documentary about you? Okay, let me answer.”

On how he met the director who wanted to make the film: “He heard me on Austin’s podcast, thought I was interesting, and thought I’d make a great documentary subject. So I was like, yeah, so it’s pretty cool. So, you know, at first I thought he was full of shit because- but then he backed it up, and he told me what he had done, and I saw it, and I saw clips of it, and I thought it was really good. But I wanted to make it all, you know, the negative, too. Show all my baggage, all my issues and I think he captured, did a really good job. It’s funny, it’s like, do I like the film? Yeah, I think it’s a great film. Do I like watching it? No.”
