Raven - ECW Wrestling on TNN - January 31, 1999
Crucified for the sins of my humanity ...
Crucified for the sins of my compassion ...
Crucified for the sins of my past ...
By the flesh of my flesh, and the blood of my blood,
You will crucify the raven, NEVERMORE!
Raven - ECW Wrestling on TNN - October 15, 1999
"It's 5:30 in the morning in New Orleans on Bourbon Street. Look at these dirtballs, it's a complete den of iniquity; there's decadence, debauchery, a neighborhood of chaos, a haven for sin. As I look around these filthy animals following me, sinners each and every one of them, I realize one thing. That it's better to have a condemned soul, than no soul at all.
So Tommy Dreamer . . . shut up . . . Tommy Dreamer, look at these morons, these fools, these jesters and buffoons, these idiots. They're your people, Tommy, and for them and all their problems, and all their sins, and all their hatred, and all their anger . . . I feel your pain, Tommy . . . Ha! I feel your pain! Ha Ha! I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Ha Ha Ha! I love it, Tommy. You see this, this is it, These are your people, Tommy. This is my home, Tommy. Sinners, one and all; no one cares, no one worries. Tommy Dreamer, you and your little 'white meat babyface' world. 'I do it for the people, I don't care about my back, I'll survive for you people!' What hogwash, Tommy! It's crap! They don't care about you any more than they care about me. They just want to leech onto my stardom. But that's ok, Tommy. I'm garbage, a piece of crap. I've lived my life and I deserve what I get."
Raven - ECW Wrestling on TNN - September 17, 1999
"For two and a half years Tommy Dreamer, we fought an epic battle of mythic proportions. We had a friendship based on love . . . and a hatred based on friendship. You scarred my face, you battered me unmercifully . . . and you took MY GIRL! But the one thing that you could never do, was beat me Tommy. You could never beat me and I always pinned you. Two and a half years Tommy, after I came to ECW . . . to exorcize your demons, it was time for you to graduate . . . so I gave you your victory.
For two and a half years Tommy Dreamer, I stayed away from ECW. And with me gone, your life lost it's meaning, and your career lost it's purpose, and your relationship with Beulah lost it's foundation. You'd lost your focus, Tommy (laughs). You lost the girl.
Keyser Soze said the greatest trick that the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didnt exist. Well Tommy, I exist and I'm going to be your own personal demon because this savior has already been crucified for your sins . . . Quote the Raven . . . nevermore."

"Where's my pyro at?"
Raven & Saturn - WCW Thunder - April 1, 1999
(Mean Gene Asks About Raven & Saturn's Split)
RAVEN: "What are we doing together? We're together - We're together! What do you mean, Gene?"
MEAN GENE: "Well now, there was a big split, everybody knows about it. Raven and Saturn were on opposite ends of the stick, so to speak.
RAVEN: "Are you saying we broke up?"
MEAN GENE: "You broke up.
SATURN: "What do you mean we broke up? I didn't even know we were dating!"
MEAN GENE: Oh please, enough of the - uh - levity here. Gentleman, I should point out for the record, Spring Stampede is a week and a half away, but all of a sudden . . ."
RAVEN: "Hey Gene, aren't you curious about all the fighting we did?"
MEAN GENE: "Yes, I am curious."
RAVEN: Let me explain, Gene. Its nothing compared to the fighting we used to do in high school. In fact, in summer camp, me and him fought all over this girl Beulah McGillicutty. Oh, it was . . ."
SATURN: "That wasn't me! That was Tommy, goof!"
RAVEN: "Whatever."
(Mean Gene asks about their match at Spring Stampede against the Horsemen and how the titles won't be on the line since Raven helped Rey and Kidman win them from the Horsemen)
RAVEN: "That may have been a miscalculation on our part, but I never liked Benoit and I definitely don't like Stinko Malenko, to borrow Jericho's toy to turn a phrase. Ummm, it seems to me and Benoit's last feud ended in Panama City and apparently our current feud has restarted there, and I just don't like them' so I'd figured I'd rather give the belts to Kidman and Mysterio, cuz I know we can whip them."
SATURN: "And the way I figure, we gave them the belts, they at least owe us a title shot.
(Saturn says they're gonna break up the Horsemen, Mean Gene plugs the Spring Stampede PPV)
RAVEN: "What about me, What about Raven?"
Raven - WCW Monday Nitro - March 16, 1999
(Raven is being interviewed by Riki Rachtman about his loss at Uncensored and his betrayal by his sister Chastity)
RAVEN: "You know, you'd have thought I'd seen it coming. I mean, I did set her hair on fire when we were six years old. But, you know, I got her her job in WCW and I got Hak his job. What about me? What about Raven?"
(Riki then questions Raven about how strained family gatherings might now be since his sister turned against him)
RAVEN: "Family functions suck. The only reason I'd go to family functions is so I could sit at the kid's table anyhow. I'd go there for the money, and I used to go there cuz of my sister. If she thought that Dutch ovens were horrible as a child, wait til she sees what I do to her and Hak. I'm going to crush both of you like Jerry Falwell at one of Saturn's bondage balls. Quote the Raven, nevermore . . ."
RIKI: "O . . .K"
Raven - WCW Thunder - March 11, 1999
"I always say, if chaos is inevitable, why keep order? But WCW wants everyone to, 'Respect Their Authority,' [phrase in quotes said in a Eric Cartman voice], so they're gonna put me and two boneheads in a triangle match at Uncensored. Now, I was always told by the old-timers that you had to talk good about your opponent so it'll up the buyrate. So, Bam Bam Bigelow, you have nice tattoos. And Hak, you don't sweat much for a fat guy. So, I've got . . . one . . . two . . . I got SIX words for ya . . . What About Me! What About Raven! Quote the Raven, nevermore!"
Raven - WCW Thunder - February 28, 1999
"As I sat at home, these last few months, suffering through the debilitating trauma of mental illness . . . visiting half a dozen shrinks . . . and in and out of sanitariums . . . I was forced to suffer the further indignity of listening to two jobbers talk about, 'They're Hardcore'. Bam Bam Bigelow, and a man that I used to call one of my best friends, who was even out here earlier talking about 'Hak's rules', which is a blatant and shameless rip-off of 'Raven's Rules,' which I started. I was the one that put people through tables; I was the one that drop-toe-holded people on chairs; What about me! What about Raven! So the way I see it is, they're gonna have to pay. And I'm not sure when, because I guess J.J. Dillon will have to make a match in all his ineptness . . . but the way I see it is, when it comes down, I'm gonna stomp you two like narcs at a biker rally. Quote the Raven, nevermore."
