Recently, the ECW legend Raven appeared in front of the fans and opened up about several incidents. Throughout his career, Raven was known for being a part of several wrestling stables. And the most popular one was ‘Raven’s Flock’. 

During the interview, Raven revealed how Hulk Hogan used his star power to make a huge change in his popular wrestling stable in WCW.

Raven said that while he was looking for fresh faces in the wrestling industry to create his most popular stable WCW official Jimmy Hart came and told him Hulk Hogan is thinking about putting his nephew in the Flock.

And since no one could say ‘no’ to Hulk Hogan, Raven agreed and Horace Hogan became part of Raven’s Flock.

Narrating the story, Raven said, “Funny story, Jimmy Hart comes up to me and goes, ‘Hey, Hogan wondered if you’d put his nephew in the Flock’. I was like, ‘Sure. Anything for Hogan.’ Like, what are you going to say? No one’s going to say no. So then the rib is—me, Jericho and Konnan used to hang out…… We would call ourselves the Triumph rant of Useless Information……. The funny thing is the running gag became, ‘Hey, did you know Horace Hogan was Hulk’s nephew?’ I’m like, ‘I had no idea!’”
