Thunder: Raven vs. The Giant: (10/29/98): Raven. Heenan calls him the dirtiest athlete in sports today, how Raven loses every match he has. Schiavone punctuates this remark with that of Raven's downward spiral. Kanyon tells Raven repeatedly NOT to wrestle the Giant. Raven gets thrown around like a rag doll. Kanyon again implores him to leave and not wrestle Giant. He seems genuinely concerned here. Tenay theorizes that Kanyon always wanted to be in Raven's Flock and that's why he's sticking with Raven through his difficult period. Raven seems determined to continue on regardless. Raven tries to take out Giant's leg. No good. More rag doll tossing. Raven gets hit with a kick to the side of the head by Giant. Giant runs Kanyon off sort of. Raven tries a high risk move and misses. Giant catches him and Raven reverses it and slams him into the ringpost. Kanyon gives Raven a chair. Raven hits Giant with the chair 3 times! Kanyon gets a table from underneath the ring and distracts the Giant.
Now, while this is going on, Raven sets up the table in the ring. Raven tries to pull Giant into the ring. He gets stuck on the ropes as Kanyon grabs his leg. Raven bounces on the ropes to give him a little --uh --"groin trouble." It works. His master plan is to smash Giant on the table it seems. He tries and Giant stops him. Giant then CHOKESLAMS Raven through the table! Giant lays him out 1 2 3. Raven gets pinned, Kanyon comes and cradles him as the credits roll.
WINNER: The Giant via Pinfall.

WCW Monday Nitro: Kanyon vs. Prince Iaukea: (10/26/98): Kanyon comes out with Raven to his usual reponse: the crowd heckling him as he does his usual "Who's better than Kanyon" speech. Out comes Prince Iaukea. Kanyon actually fought Iaukea on the October 8th edition of Thunder. This match was fairly similar. Lots of high flying moves by both men. Iaukea gets thrown outside as Raven looks on. Kanyon attacks him. Prince tries a power move on Kanyon, but Kanyon reverses it into the Flatliner. Kanyon wins.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Halloween Havoc: Raven vs. Chris Jericho: (10/25/98): Raven comes out, makes a speech about how he should have been informed he was gonna work the PPV and was not going to wrestle cause of his mistreatment. Jericho taunted Raven and made him wrestle out of spite. They each try their finishing moves once without them working. Lots of Raven's rules type wrestling goes on and they fight mainly outside the ring. Kanyon comes in at one point, but proves worthless. Raven gets the upperhand at one point, tries the Evenflow, but Jericho reverses it, yet again, into a Liontamer. Raven taps out quick and Jericho wins.
WINNER: Chris Jericho via Pinfall.

WCW Saturday Night: (10/24/98): No Raven Activity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thunder: Kanyon vs. Chris Jericho: (10/22/98): Out comes Kanyon with Raven. Raven is really out of it. Kanyon does the whole "Who's better than me" speech. Outcomes Jericho, being all annoying and obnoxious, per his gimmick. Kanyon and Jericho fight for the T.V. Championship. Kanyon gets in a lot of good moves and reversald on Jericho, he actually has him beat at several points in the match. The turning point comes when the referee is accidentally knocked out at one point. Raven runs in the ring to evenflow Jericho, but Jericho reverses it into a Liontamer and makes Raven tap out. The ref counts Raven's tap as a loss for Kanyon! Raven slinks into the corner obviously hurt and pissed off, while Jericho starts his whole victory routine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Monday Nitro: Kanyon vs. Scott Putski: (10/19/98): Kanyon comes out to ringside, sans Raven. The camera pans on a tattooed couple, perhaps to suggest that those fans that like Raven and his associates are nothing but freaks. Kanyon does his little "Who's better than Kanyon" schtick with the audience. They boo him, of course. Kanyon's mic skills have improved a lot. The lisp is pretty much gone and he doesn't sound like Daffy Duck. Here comes his opponent, Scott Putski. Can't figure out what this guys gimmick is supposed to be. Something like a preppy, wanna-be gothic jock. This guy just pisses me off. Match starts as Kanyon says to send out the opponent so he can get another notch on his belt. Announcers talk about how innovative Kanyon is for a while. Kanyon dominates this joker early. Putski does get a lot of slams and takedowns but it's nothing compared to Kanyon's repertoire. Kanyon sets up Putski with a fireman's carry and clims the steps to flapjack him on the canvas. More give and take. Kanyon eventually does the Flatliner on Putski for the win. Kanyon then gets on the ropes and says, "I'm the king of the world!" I think he's been watching WAY too much Celebrity Deathmatch on MTV.
Raven no-showed Nitro. He was billed as being on Nitro on WCW Saturday Night, and at one point his music came on but Raven never showed. Instead Rey Mysterio Jr. came out to fight Kidman, even though Rey wasn't supposed to debut until Thunder.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Saturday Night: Lodi vs. Konnan: (10/17/98): Lodi comes out with several signs. "EVERYBODY LOVES LODI", and "RAVEN MISSES LODI." Lodi gets on the microphone and screams about how the WCW suits are making him face Konnan against his will. He then calls out Konnan by referring to him as "Obi-Wan-Jabrone" and tells the "gangster wanna-be" that "boxers go on the inside." Konnan then tells Lodi that he'll show him how to work the mic and he does his usual "Arriba La Raza" routine. Lodi and Konnan then have a surprisingly good match beofre Konnan makes him tap out to the Tequila Sunrise.
