Raven Had To Have A Therapist Convince Him His Career Was Successful

Raven recently sat down with SOUNDSPHERE, where he was asked if he felt his character in WWE reached it's full potential.

ā€œIt wouldā€™ve been if I would have made it to the top of WWE but, that was ā€” WWE, I had heat with [Vince] McMahon, long story and so I never really got what I felt was the push I deserved in that company andā€¦ so no, I didnā€™t get to do everything I wanted, but what I did do, I felt the work I did in ECW will stand up against anybodyā€™s work any time, anywhere, ever. Whether itā€™s work rate, whether itā€™s matches, whether itā€™s storyline, storyline especially.ā€

On having to talk to a psychologist:

ā€œYou know, I had to spend time on a psychologistā€™s couch to be happy, to accept the fact that my career was incredibly successful but I felt like it wasnā€™t a success because I didnā€™t get the WWF Title, you know what I mean? Because I wasnā€™t used on ā€” I didnā€™t need the title but being used on top in WWE butā€¦ if anybody else had came to me and said, ā€˜Iā€™ve had this careerā€™ and it was the same career that I had, I would have said, man, what are you ā€” thatā€™s so stupid. Why are you not satisfied? You should be more than satisfied. But I held myself to a higher standard, you know, to a much higher standard than I held everybody else and I felt like, you know, even though when I got in the business, I thought if I tried it and Iā€™m not successful, I wonā€™t be a failure because I tried. Thatā€™s all that matters is to try. To me, thatā€™s all that matters but, then I hold myself to a different standard which I ā€” after spending time on a psychologistā€™s couch, I learned not to hold myself to a different standard because what it ā€” itā€™s just arrogant to be honest. Itā€™s just pretentious and arrogant to hold yourself to a higher standard but itā€™s easy to fall into that trap though. Itā€™s just hard to get out of it.ā€

Raven provided an update following his recent knee-replacement surgery:

ā€œI got one of my knees replaced so Iā€™ve been rehabbing that and Iā€™m gonna get the other knee replaced soon as Iā€™m done rehabbing the first knee and then next year, Iā€™m gonna get the ā€” I already had one of my shoulders replaced. Iā€™m gonna get the other shoulder replaced.ā€
