Raven has officially been inducted into the IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Tommy Dreamer inducted his former nemesis into the prestigious group of legends on the Countdown to IMPACT Bound For Glory. In his speech, Dreamer described Raven’s impact on his career and noted that he was the Joker to his Batman. Raven then came to the stage and delivered his own speech, where he looked back on his career. He highlighted his run in ECW and credited Paul Heyman’s influence on his journey in the wrestling world. He then touched on his brief run in WWE and noted that he was glad TNA, as it was known at the time, gave him a chance to end his televised wrestling career on a better note.

The veteran compared IMPACT to Hotel California, noting that you can check out but you can never leave. He discussed his feud with Dreamer and thanked him for being the yin to his yang and the babyface to his heel. He stated that their rivalry could finally come to an end on Friday night before he blindsided him with an Evenflow DDT.
