USA Xtreme Championship Wrestling: Raven vs. Ballz Mahoney: (02.26.05) - Raven comes out for an “ECW” reunion. He grabs the mike and says that Foley may have been a star and Al Snow was sort of a star, but the rest of these jabronis were not stars, and he looked pointedly at Balls Mahoney. Balls turned his back on Raven and was attacked for his trouble. The bell rang and the match began. Almost immediately they wound up on the outside of the ring. Raven was handed a cookie sheet from the crowd and proceeded to beat Balls with it. He then followed that up with a crutch, also taken from the crowd. Balls then got the crutch away from Raven and turned the tables on him. He then threw Raven into the ring. Balls climbed to the top of the turnbuckle and Raven nails him with a chair. Raven proceeds to punch Balls until Balls reverses and punches out Raven. Both men are down in the ring, Balls being the first one to recover. He body slams Raven to the mat and goes to the top again, but misses the frog splash. Raven slaps an ankle lock on Balls, but he manages to escape. Raven does a Raveneffect DDT on Balls, but he kicks out. The slow count enrages Raven and he starts to choke out the ref. Balls comes up from behind for a quick rollup. Raven kicks out and brings a chair into the ring, which he sets up in between the second ropes of the turnbuckle. He slams Balls into the chair and rolls him up for several pinning opportunities. Balls continues to kick out. Raven slaps another DDT on Balls but Raven has a sloppy cover so he kicks out again. Raven goes for a chair, but Balls superkicks Raven and he goes down. Raven gets back up and Balls kicks him again. Balls goes to the top and this time nails the frog splash, but now both men are down. As they struggle to their feet, Raven gets the superkick on Balls, this time. Raven places the chair on Balls face and does a leg drop on him. Balls recovers, gives Raven a body slam and winds up getting the win. After Balls celebrates, Raven comes up from behind and starts attacking him. With a chair shot, Raven gets the moral victory.
WINNER: Ballz Mahoney via Pinfall
After the Sandman and Justin Credible match, Raven makes a reappearance leading Balls in from the back by a rope around his neck. He then proceeds to wreak havoc in the ring and throws a fireball in Sandman’s face. He grabs the mike and starts informing the crowd that he was always the true star of ECW and that they should all be chanting ECW whenever he comes to the ring. A resounding Johnny Polo chant is his answer. Frank Goodman comes to the ring and smugly informs Raven that NY has fire codes and he just broke them.. He is now suspended for 60 days. Raven gets on his cell phone and calls Abdullah the Butcher to come in for the April 15th show. Frank informs Raven that when he comes back for the May 21st show, he will be facing Sandman in a steel cage match.

TNA iMPACT: Raven Interview w/Shane Douglas: (02.25.05) - Twelve minutes into the show it’s time to go backstage with Shane Douglas who has Raven standing by.
Douglas: “The fallout from Against All Odds is beginning to hit. Destination X -- it’s already signed: you against Dustin Rhodes, Raven. This time special stipulations: bull-rope match, I can tell you this -- after the way you whipped that boy like a dog he’s gonna be gunnin for you, Raven.”
Raven: “Dustin Rhodes? A bull-rope match -- a bull-rope match? Heh, is that supposed to frighten me? Intimidate me? Terrify me? Dustin have you been taking your medication? You know, Dustin, it’s funny, I’ve invented matches like the Hangman’s Horror, Clockwork Orange House of Fun, and decimated people in these matches that make a bull-rope match look like a Girl Scout meeting. I will give you the beating you should have received as a child. Because someone didn’t care enough to hurt you -- you have become a poor pathetic lost soul trapped in a maze. Your family passes on hate like an heirloom from one generation to another. And only I can give you the punishment you deserve and crave. Life is suffering forced upon us by a merciless caretaker, death by Raven is your only reward. I’m the most ruthless unforgiving being on the planet. I am a human cancer. Only I can make you whole by destroying you, Dustin, I will set you free. (Raven smiles like a lunatic) Quote the Raven, nevermore.”
Raven and Douglas exchange glares, Douglas looks weirded out.
Douglas: “Go back to the ring.”

TNA Against All Odds PPV: Raven vs. Dustin Rhodes: (02.13.05) - These two completely opposite individuals developed a quick hatred for each other soon after Rhodes joined TNA. It is no secret that the two of them can’t stand each other. This grudge needed to be settled in the ring. The two veterans exchanged viscous blows early on, but Raven soon began to work on Dustin’s legs. Raven dominated the majority of the match up, and tried to end it with an ankle lock. However, Rhodes was able to kick out. Raven did end up winning the match using the ropes for a little leverage.
Raven wasn’t satisfied with the win and continued to pound on Rhodes after the bell rang. After knocking the big Texan out of the ring, Raven pulled out a straight jacket from under the ring and wrapped him up. He then rolled a defenseless Rhodes back into the ring. Dustin tried to fight back with his legs, but Raven got a shot to his head with a trash can. The sadistic Raven then buckled Rhodes to the turnbuckle and got a strap out to do some more damage.
Cassidy Reilly ran down to help out his mentor, but was quickly greeted with an Evenflow DDT by Raven. Raven then went to work on Rhodes back with the strap until security came down to break up the action.
WINNER: Raven via Pinfall

Raven: “Calm down big boy, calm down.”
