Raven

I think you had one of the most entertaining Hall of Fame speeches ever.

Thank you.

Halfway through, you ask the crowd to boo you.

Yes.

And then at the end, you give Tommy Dreamer a DDT.

Yes.

Was this just like, just Raven being Raven?

Yeah, I never felt comfortable for a long time with cheers.

It's like being egotistical and insecure.

It's funny.

It's when people do compliment you, then you feel embarrassed and awkward and uncomfortable.

The thing you're craving more than anything is to be praised and to be complimented.

And when people do it, all you can do is shy away and feel really weird and stupid about it like you don't deserve it.

So it's really fucked up.

You know, and luckily once I dealt with, did therapy, I got much better at taking compliments.

But that's why I chose being, you know, being a heel because most people don't want to really be a heel.

They just, they want to be, most people want to be cheered.

Everybody wants to be cheered.

I like to be booed because it's the same, means the same as cheers, but it's more, A, it's more visceral, I think.

Um, cause you gotta, you gotta have a, have a gut reaction of fuck you is a pretty strong reaction compared to yay, let's go.
