Professional wrestling legend and former WWE star Raven who is a former two times ECW World Heavyweight Champion recently explained how he still felt like a 28 year old while wrestling in spite of being a 58 year old.
Raven came to WWE back in 2000 and fans were really excited to see him in WWE. Everyone was expecting to see another main event star added to the roster. He had an amazing record in ECW before coming to WWE. He won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship two times in total during his ECW run.
Raven Explains How He Still Feels Like A 28 Year Old
But surprisingly WWE refused to push him as a main event star. He had huge fan following that were quite upset with WWE for not pushing him on to the main event. He was mostly treated as a lower mid card whose constant focus remained the WWE Hardcore Championship which he won for a total number of 27 times.
In 2003 he left WWE never to return to the promotion ever again. He joined TNA Wrestling and once again he had been treated as a main event star. He won the NWA World Heavyweight Championship one time in his TNA career. He did not wrestle after 2014. We hope he gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame soon.
Raven had been a legend of hardcore wrestling and was one of the biggest names of the Extreme Championship Wrestling ECW. He had been a former two times ECW World Heavyweight Champion and his rivalry with Tommy Dreamer was really loved by the fans.
Raven who is a former two times ECW World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke to PW Mania where he explained how he still felt like a 28 year old while wrestling in spite of being a 58 year old. Here is what he had to say;
“I’m in good health. I’m just suffering injuries from my career. You know, the shoulder replacement I probably needed for 10, 15 years. I haven’t had a lot of big injuries. But I’ve had a couple, I herniated three discs in my lower back.
“I had my left shoulder replaced in 2013 and it was so painful that I said that’s it I’m not getting the right one either replacing too but I’m like I’m not getting that until I absolutely have to and now I absolutely have to.
“Then I got to two knees replaced last year. And then I should be a perfectly healthy young man and or old young man. I still feel like I’m 28 inside. I’m 58 but I feel 28 and I probably have the organs of a 78 year old.
“Yeah, it’ll be probably a year because, I’m gonna get my shoulder replaced and let it heal, but I’ll be 59/60 then, I’m not going to take any bumps. I never took any bumps before. Why should I start now?”
