Raven Thinks Backstage Politics Will Stop Him From Being Inducted Into WWE Hall Of Fame

Raven was recently inducted into the IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Fame, with the former NWA/TNA Heavyweight Champion inducted into the HOF by long-time rival Tommy Dreamer.

However, the cult figure doesn’t believe he will ever be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, with Raven saying the following during a virtual signing with K&S Wrestlefest:

"I would've liked to have been world champion in New York [WWE]. But you know, that's a hell of a lot of politics,” said Raven, before explaining that the same ‘politics’ will possibly scupper his chances of going in the HOF.

"A lot of the heat's my fault though because I had to be the smartest guy in the room,” Raven continued. "Even if I wasn't, I had to act like I was so I burned my own bridges. I knew it back then but couldn't help it."

Regarded as one of the great minds of modern wrestling, Raven was a multi-time champion across ECW, WCW, and WWE, and was the first wrestler to have an action figure of himself from all three companies, as well as TNA.
