The upcoming documentary features the central character Raven, a celebrated alumnus from ECW/WWE/WCW. Raven admits that putting the documentary together wasn’t an easy task.
The documentary, tagged “Nevermore: The Raven Effect,” is set to be released at a yet-to-be-announced date. The premiere of the film trailer happened just this week.
Raven made an appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast recently, divulging his experiences during the production of the film.
Some highlighted parts of the podcast are as follows:
On his feelings when he watched the movie during its edit process: “It was tough for me. I’ve got enough problems to fill a magazine stand. The process was rough indeed. Whenever the director wanted my opinion on the movie, I was not eager to watch it. I avoided watching it for a good number of months, but when I finally got to it, it was brutally hard for me.”
On his participation in deciding the final input for the film: “The director wanted to know my thoughts, he asked for my opinion on aspects like this or that should be retained or moved. I also wanted to air my views, I believe he had the final say, but I felt it necessary to contribute. For instance, there was this shot of someone unrelated to me that appeared earlier in the movie, I felt it was irrelevant and suggested it be removed. But every review was a grueling process.”
Brett Lauderdale confirms he increased Nick Gage’s payment for a match against Jon Moxley in GCW after the AEW World Champion made a request to that effect.
Despite taking a temporary hiatus from GCW as stated by Gage on Blvd Bullies, he recognises Lauderdale as a strong ally who significantly advanced his career.
Lauderdale made this shocking revelation in a tweet:
“I was paying Jon Moxley – a top figure in the TV industry for nearly ten years, a world champion, and the most relevant wrestler in the industry more money than I was paying Nick Gage for their GCW match.
Yes, as requested by Mox, I did elevate Nick’s match payment to match the amount he received for wrestling Chris Jericho on TV.
I acknowledge you guys may not really care about Nick but he has been my brother for 2 decades plus and that reality is unchangeable.
During the same interview, the show hosts made constant attempts to have him say damning things about me, but he vehemently refused. Not only did Nick refer to me as a friend, but he also called me FAMILY.
We have traversed a lot in 20 long years. Those who are true to the course would know. To all others, frankly speaking, go f**k yourselves.”
Mistico, a celebrated figure in CMLL, made public his decision to relinquish the CMLL World Historic Middleweight Championship.
Mistico on the CMLL Informa programme aired on October 30th, stated that he was progressing towards light heavyweight status and was weary from the numerous title defenses he has made.
He plans to transition to light heavyweight to compete for those championships.
The now vacant position demands a tournament, which CMLL intends to hold. Mistico was the title-holder for a whooping 2,263 days, having conquered Ultimo Guerrero on August 21st, 2018, to clinch the title.
