Raven

I was watching The Crow for inspiration, and the character's name was Eric Draven.
I go, Draven, Raven, quote the Raven evermore.
All right, I got a name and a catchphrase, boom.
Now I need an outfit.
And then I put the outfit together in like two minutes because it wasn't hard to figure out, you know.
And then I came up with the idea of the concert T-shirt because I'm a big believer in ring jackets.
You got to wear or have a bunch of ring jackets because to be a star, you got to look like a star.
But Raven's character wouldn't care about looking like a star.
I had to get an anti-star look that still was a star character that made me look like a star.
And so...
So I figured with the concert shirts, I'd have a different shirt every day, every match, so I could have a variety without having to change my jacket.
And plus, I had no chest.
As a bodybuilder, I always wanted to be a bodybuilder, but I never had the genetics for it.
And so I wore...
So I had a thick waist, no abs, flat chest, but I had big arms and shoulders, you know, at the time, you know, until injuries took their toll.
But that's a long story.
But, yeah, so I figured I'd wear a concert T-shirt, sleeves cut off, I could show off the arms.
You want to accentuate your strengths and hide your weaknesses.
And I hid my weaknesses.
And another weird thing about that is I had really good legs, like really good thighs, but I had such a thick waist that it took away from it.
