This week, we sit down with wrestling legend Raven and filmmaker Geordie Day, director of the new documentary Nevermore: The Raven Effect.

It’s part wrestling psychology deep dive, part emotional reckoning — a candid conversation about the blurred line between character and self, the chaos of ECW, and what it means to wrestle with your own legacy. Raven opens up about therapy, mental health, and how he turned personal pain into one of wrestling’s most complex characters.

Geordie Day shares what it was like to document that process, from uncovering rare footage to capturing the genius (and madness) behind the man who defined the extreme era.

We also talk creative freedom, why ECW felt realer than real, and how Raven’s story mirrors the evolution of pro wrestling itself.

🎥 Nevermore: The Raven Effect premieres in Philadelphia at Philamoca October 11–12, with streaming available November 18.
