Every Member Of Raven's Flock Faction, Ranked From Worst To Best

Raven joining WCW featured the most over ECW heel at the time coming over with the same gimmick. ECW pushed Raven as the ECW Champion leading Raven’s Nest with a cult-like faction behind him. WCW kept the spirit of the act alive when Raven had The Flock behind him to enhance his character.

The Flock was a relatively successful faction that existed for quite some time with noteworthy rivalries against Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg and others. Raven was allowed to have his own act cutting cryptic promos and inspiring others to follow his lead. Each name to spend time in the group had varied results. The Flock members will be ranked from the worst to the best looking back at WCW history.

10 Sick Boy

The forgotten Sick Boy had a place in Raven’s Flock when the faction needed more depth. Sick Boy mostly took part in the group attacks, but he had little upside. WCW booked Sick Boy to be the first or second name leading attacks and getting beat up by Raven’s enemies.

Sick Boy trained at the WCW Power Plant and received the opportunity due to WCW wanting more talents called up from there. Unfortunately, nothing more came from Sick Boy’s run beyond being another member of The Flock.

9 Stevie Richards

The talent level of Stevie Richards would rank him above most others on the list, but he didn’t have a great run in Raven’s Flock. ECW made Richards a pivotal member of Raven’s Nest to warrant WCW bringing him in with Raven.

However, things changed in the dynamic when WCW portrayed Stevie completely as a lackey without the bigger moments that came in ECW. Raven bullied Richards and defeated him decisively in matches before Stevie left WCW.

8 Horace Hogan

WCW wanted to find an ideal role for Horace Hogan when they hired Hulk Hogan’s nephew. Many of Hogan’s friends from WWE were hired with him in WCW, but he actually went as far as to get his relative hired with minimal experience.

Horace was first placed into Raven’s Flock with no mention of his last name or relation to the biggest star in the company. The Flock ending did see Horace getting more pushes and placed in storylines with Hulk that always failed badly.

7 Reese

Ron Reis had quite a few odd storylines and roles in WCW during his tenure there. Most fans will remember him for the short-lived and absurd gimmick of The Yeti when bear hugging Hulk Hogan with The Giant.

Reese was the name used when he joined Raven’s Flock as their big man enforcer. The face of Reese being shown and no acknowledgment towards the past Yeti role made him feel like a new person. Unfortunately, his career never panned out beyond being making other wrestlers look strong.

6 Van Hammer

Another failed big man from the past to get another chance with Raven’s Flock was Van Hammer. WCW tried pushing him with the musician gimmick in the early 1990s, but he struggled to have competent matches in the ring.

Raven adding Hammer to his group did help to have a familiar face with an intimidating presence. Hammer showed little personality and sadly continued to stall. WCW used him in a few roles after the Flock ended, but it wasn’t in the cards for him to be a huge success.

5 Lodi

One of the secondary Flock members to find a way to stand out was Lodi. WCW added the lower card enhancement talent to the group to help with the depth and to provide a role Raven wanted for a comedic presence in the Flock.

Lodi had humorous signs every week that became the calling card of The Flock. Even if they didn’t have a match or storyline that night, the members sitting in the crowd always stood out when fans detected Lodi’ signs. WCW tried pushing him in a tag team with Lenny Lane afterwards that reached a ceiling quickly.

4 Scotty Riggs

WCW turned Buff Bagwell heel to join the New World Order and end his American Males tag team with Scotty Riggs. Bagwell received more television time in the top act, but Riggs had to rebound and find a new path to television time.

Raven recruiting Riggs led to him being the first wrestler to push back against The Flock members. Riggs losing a match to Raven and injuring his eye led to him finally joining with a new look. WCW having Riggs wrestle with an eyepatch helped him stand out.

3 Perry Saturn

ECW used Perry Saturn as one half of the most over tag team with John Kronus for quite some time. However, WCW didn’t have any interest in bringing Kronus or continuing The Eliminators tag team when they signed Saturn.

Raven adding Saturn to The Flock saw them working closely together for the first time and having chemistry. Saturn was the second most important member of The Flock having important matches at various points. The end of the group even saw Saturn winning the war by beating Raven to disband The Flock.

2 Billy Kidman

Billy Kidman was one of the rare unknown members to join The Flock and become a bigger star afterwards. The Flock had many strengths, but they weren’t known for having great matches unless Raven or Saturn was put in the right spot.

Kidman being a great cruiserweight talent showed his potential by having some underrated matches when he was in the ring. WCW used Kidman in the story of the group breaking up when he helped Saturn defeat Raven to disband The Flock. This inspired a great face turn for Kidman to break out as a beloved fan favorite.

1 Raven

It would be fun to try to argue someone above Raven when ranking all member of The Flock, but he clearly carried the group. WCW wanted it known that this wasn’t an equal group and that members had to follow Raven’s orders to remain involved.

Raven was having some of the best promos and matches in WCW during his push. The Flock even held great appeal due to Raven having heat with the audience. Eric Bischoff has admitted in recent years that he hated Raven’s character and never fully pushed it. Raven could have been a bigger star if WCW saw in him what Paul Heyman did in ECW.
