Fans of the ‘90s wrestling scene, prepare to step back into the smoky arenas of yesteryear: Nevermore: The Raven Effect, a new documentary on ECW icon Raven, has dropped a trailer that promises an unflinching look at the wrestling legend’s highs and lows. Known for bringing a grungy, raw energy to the ring, Raven was more than just a character; he embodied the angst and grit of a generation that found a home in ECW’s wild, rebellious world.
NWA President Billy Corgan sets the tone early in the trailer, reflecting on the magnetic personalities drawn to pro wrestling and Raven’s uniquely artistic approach. Former ECW peers The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Bully Ray, and Rob Van Dam make appearances to share stories from an era where Raven’s dark, brooding style and unmistakable attitude ignited the passion of an underground fanbase unlike anything seen before.
The documentary doesn’t shy away from Raven’s battles off the mat, either. As Raven himself admits in the trailer, “Wrestling and doing drugs are my two things that I’m really f**king good at,” setting the stage for a raw portrayal of a life as intense and turbulent outside the ring as it was in it.
Featuring WCW alumni like Chris Jericho, DDP, and Lodi, alongside ECW veterans, Nevermore: The Raven Effect promises to capture every part of Raven’s journey—the good, the bad, and the grunge.
