This is a Roleplay written by me

[The rowdy ZWF fans are all inside the arena as the Titantron shows the ZWF logo on the screen. The image starts to twitch. The ZWF logo then dissolves into black and white fuzz has the screen just shows static and a crackling noise can be heard over the sound system. The noise fades and so does the black and white static. The screen is now pitch black. The crowd is quiet, then, Raven’s voice comes over the sound system]

Raven – What about me?

[WHAT ABOUT ME? Plays as the crowd get on their feet and await the arrival of the Hardcore Legend, Raven. After a moment or two of waiting, Raven walks out onto the stage to a warm reception from the fans. Raven stands at the top of the ramp and looks at the fans and grins. He walks to one side of the ramp and looks around; he then does the crucifix pose. The crowd pops to this and Raven walks over to the other side of the stage and doea the Crucifix pose again. The crowd on that side pop too and Raven makes his way to the top of the ramp. Raven moves the hair away from his face and begins to walk down the ramp. Raven makes his way down the aisle with his eyes fixed firmly at the ring.]

[Raven approaches the ring slowly with cool, confident feel to his walk. He climbs the steps and walks along the ring apron. Raven steps onto the first turnbuckle and then onto the second turnbuckle, he then performs the crucifix pose.]

[Raven jumps off the turnbuckle and into the ring as he then walks towards the ropes. Lillian Garcia hands him a microphone. Come and Out and Play is still playing as Raven walks into the centre of the ring. The music dies down and the crowd go into a hush. Everyone is focusing on Raven; the camera zooms in on him. Raven lifts the microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak.]

Raven – For many years, there has been a concept of the human mind that has puzzled me in the way that I wonder why it exists. This concept is what can be the dividing line between Failure and succeeding, following or being followed, celebrated or mocked. I am talking about Fear. Everything we do in life contains a certain element of danger, and what does danger bring? Fear. Fear of making a mistake, fear of failing, fear of being shown up. Fear is one of those things in life that no one can escape from. Everyone suffers from fear and everyone will give in to it at some time in his or her life. One person here in the ZWF who doesn’t suffer from fear is me, Raven. Because you see, there is no need for me to suffer from anything that is put in front of me. All the fear I had inside my body was diminished long ago in my childhood. My father, for reasons that I didn’t know then, regularly beat me and I still don’t know now. Just imagine being me, a small, shy and quiet child being brought up in a broken home and living in fear of his father. I would often come home from school with a smile on my face, until my father would come home in a drunken rage and beaten with a slipper. But at least he was showing some emotion…that is more than what I can say for my mother. My mother never loved me, never cared for me. Now some of you people might find this amusing and you might snigger at my misfortune. But what gives you the right to do this? YOU HAVEN’T FELT PAIN LIKE THIS BEFORE. But that is one of the reasons why I am here, I am here to make you all feel my pain.

I was sitting at home when I got a call from an old buddy of mine and he told me to watch the ZWF on television that night. He had just signed a contract with this company and suggest that I take a look and see if I would be interested in coming into this company too. So that night I sat down on my couch and I watched Lightning. That night I saw a show that had everything: Action, Drama, Comedy and most important of all, great wrestlers doing what they love, and that's wrestling in front of some of the wildest fans around. And I am glad that I watched Lightning because I witnessed one hell of a show which swayed my decision to join this company. I haven't been wrestling for a while now and I felt that it was about time that I got back into the game. And that is what I plan to do here. I am also going to be doing one thing, and that is to be setting high standards for myself. And they don't get any higher than the World Title. Now I know that is gonna rub some wrestlers the wrong way but they will have to learn that everyone who is in wrestle is in it for one thing only, to be the Best! I have proved many times that I can beat the best, just look through my career and you will know what I am talking about.

I am a two time ECW Heavyweight Champion so it is fair to say I know my way around the ring. The ring in ECW was mine, all mine and this very ring in the ZWF will soon be mine. Now I understand that there is a big main event going on tonight at Snowed In, it is a seven man Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. This match has some of the greatest talents here in the ZWF putting their careers on the line for the chance to become the Heavyweight Champion. I just hope they don't all, in someway, get seriously injured. Because then I won't have any real competition for my Title chase. I have no problem in waiting for my title shot, I don't, because I know that I will have to earn it. So I realize that I will have to go through the whole roster, picking off every superstar as I go. But after all the wrestlers have fallen to my Evenflow, it will be time for the Heavyweight Champion to come up against me. It doesn't really matter if the champion is Jerry Lynn, Triple H, Buff Bagwell, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rob Van Dam or anyone else in this company. The fact of the matter is everyone will fall prey to the Evenflow and everyone will embrace me as their One True Champion. My Impact will be felt tonight and my name will be remembered...

Quote the Raven...Nevermore

[Raven walks over and and gives Lillian Garcia the microphone. He then slowly walks over towards the edge of the ring where he climbs out and makes his way up the ramp. Raven stands on the stage and looks at the crowd before walking backstage. The crowd are buzzing after that as ZWF goes to a commercial break ]
