WWF Excess: Raven Appearance: (11.03.01) - Raven was the guest on WWF Excess for November 3, 2001. Raven was shown backstage on a cellphone and talking to a WWF intern about how the Alliance would soon take over the WWF, so she should get on his good graces now by doing some of his laundry in his car, just be sure to separate the whites from the colors.
Raven then made his way out to the set and cracked on Trish's "Daisy Duke" look by asking her if her top meant she was due back in Hazzard County soon. The Coach mentioned the fact that either The Coach or Raven could be out of a job, and Raven said that he doesn't think that he'll be out of a job, because of who they have. The Coach should be sucking up, so he isn't out of a job. Raven said the odds of them keeping a job without some sort of brown nosing is slim. The Coach went over an email, and it said considering the WWF is going to whip the Alliance's ass at the Survivor Series, has Raven thought about his future? Raven said there's always the possibility that the Alliance can lose, but he's always been a survivor. If you watch his career, you'll always see him rise to the occasion. He's never been out of work, or out of the money game, so to speak.
The Coach said that Raven's mind is always way out there, and Raven said that it's not that it's out there, it's the fact that The Coach isn't following Raven at his level. Raven asked about the WWF propaganda. Christian won the European Title back, but we didn't see any footage of that on the show. Raven said that's momentum, and more of a psychological win. Everything that occurs, doesn't have any bearing on the Survivor Series, but it does psychologically. Whoever has the physiological momentum could be ahead. The Coach didn't seem to know what Raven was talking about, and Raven asked him if he knows what momentum means? Raven told a guy in the studio that he's going to be out of a job in two weeks. Raven asked him his name, and it's Martin. He's a camera man. Raven asked him what he's going to do once he's out of a job? Martin shrugged, and he said that he likes the Alliance. The Coach tried to tell the kid to get off the show, and Raven said to let him stay since he likes the Alliance.
The Alliance seems to have the advantage. Raven asked The Coach if he's been listening to him for the past five minutes?! Trish went over an email, and it asked if Raven thinks that Shane and Stephanie picked the best people to be on the team, and does Raven feel left out? What about adding Test to the team? Raven feels slighted, but these decisions aren't made for anybody's feelings to be involved. They are made to get the best results. It's a strong team, and probably the strongest team they can muster, excluding himself. As for Test, whatever. They then showed a large portion of the match between the Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin for the World Wrestling Federation Championship from WWF Smackdown!. Raven said that proved The Alliance has the advantage and he was taking off. They have his pager number and Trish would make a good secretary when she's laid ... if she was barefoot. Raven tells Coach as far as Coach's future, he's S.O.L. Raven leaves and says he'll see them at Survivor Series.
