Raven’s WCW debut (well, return)

When Raven came in on the June 30th 1997 episode of Nitro, he was involved in a big WCW/Sting/NWO/Hennig (who just debuted there too) clustermess brawl, jumping over the guardrail and watching the big main eventers (Hogan, Savage, Outsiders, DDP, even Chono were involved) battle it out. Why did they never follow up on it? Just to have a "who's DDP's mystery partner at BATB" angle? Next thing you know Raven is involved with lackey Stevie Richards and JJ Dillon for signing a WCW talent contract….chances Hogan (or Nash) kibboshed a big Raven angle in a top spot?

Dude, spoilers! I'm still four weeks away from that one. We'll cover it from the Observer when we get there.
