"Raven shoots on Joey Styles!"

Basically, he says what all the rest of us have been thinking. It's a great read, and to be honest, he exposes Joey Styles to be a money grabbing hypocrite.

Yeah, it's totally ridiculous. I pray for a lengthy reign....

If that long...how long did Ron Killings hold it last time around, by my reckoning it was 2 weeks...

Don't get me wrong, I'm no huge fan of Raven's conduct outside the ring, as he really is a berk in some senses, to put it lightly, but I'm still on his side regarding the whole Joey Styles/WWE thing, even though he is himself hypocritical.

Raven finally won the NWA title at Slammiversary. If you ask me, the title changes hands too often to retain credibility. The only guy to hold it long enough to be noticed is Jeff Jarrett. Hopefully Raven has a nice lengthy reign....

Raven - also a hypocrite.

Raven, then Scotty Flamengo, left WCW for ECW in 1995 and criticised the booking, the stupid gimmicks and Eric Bischoff. However, when Eric Bischoff came calling with an open cheque book in 1998. Raven was quite happy to go back on everything he said.

Then when it all went wrong for Raven again and he ended up back in ECW in 2000, he said and I quote "I will never again let money rule my decisions".
Then when Vince came calling with an open cheque book... guess what, Raven went back on his words...

Fast forward to 2004, Raven is 'Happy' working aon open contracts for several feds and will apparently 'never again tie himself down to a contract'...TNA open their cheque book and, well...you get the idea now.

Raven, despite being a hardcore 'legend' is something of a bitter old man, who feels that wrestling owes him something. He's also a man living in a glass house and throwing stones...

But then again everyone has their price. If someone offered you a shed loads of Cash to do commentary for one night. Granted you dont like the person. But im sorry you'd be a total fool not to do it..So JOEY STYLES STILL RULES!!

It's a shame he didn't have the guts to say anything that would have shown at least the slighteset bit of integrity.
