Meet the Superstars:
Raven
wwfeparents.com - 2001


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raven’s path has darkened the doorway of the World Wrestling Federation® before.

In a prior incarnation, the real-life Scott Levy was called Johnny Polo™, playing the role of pampered rich kid. While fans were less than intrigued by his character, the World Wrestling Federation was impressed enough with Levy’s inward creativity to give him a side job as a television producer.

But office life didn’t suit the future Superstar. He left the World Wrestling Federation and re-invented himself as Raven, a grungy, tortured character known for abstract rants reminiscent of Jim Morrison.

He may have inherited his way with words from his father, an editor at the National Enquirer. Raven claims that, as the consummate reporter, the elder Levy was fascinated by the world, but had little interest in his own family, forcing his son to seek attention elsewhere.

After graduating with a criminal justice degree from the University of Delaware, Levy concluded that a wrestling career would provide him with the recognition he so desperately wanted. He trained at Pretty Boy Larry Sharpe’s New Jersey wrestling school, then toured the country under such names as Scotty the Body, Scotty Flamingo and Scott Anthony. All were obnoxious and flamboyant, not unlike the way Scott Levy conducted himself both in and out of the arena.

As Johnny Polo, he managed a French Canadian duo appropriately called the Quebecers™ to the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship in 1993. When he left the organization, he planned to return someday.

On September 24, 2000, Raven made his return at the Unforgiven™ pay-per-view, interfering in a match involving his former Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) cohort Tazz™, and thrilling fans who’d awaited his comeback.

He pledges that his current rampage through the World Wrestling Federation will be as lengthy as it will be memorable.
