By mid-1999, it was becoming abundantly clear that the tide was turning in the Monday Night Wars and that WCW were going to come out as runners-up.

It was a mixture of things that led to the situation so Eric Bischoff called a locker room meeting to air things out. It backfired big time as Bischoff ran down how nobody outside of Hogan and Piper didn't draw enough money and slammed the young guys for not being grateful. Bischoff would then literally point at the door and proclaim that anyone who didn’t like the situation could walk out.

Without hesitation, Raven stood up and marched out the door. Bischoff thought it was a bluff but Raven held stuck to his guns, was released, and soon jumped ship back to ECW rather than WWE.

It showed that Bischoff was losing control of his locker room and that Raven wasn’t afraid to hold to his own beliefs. It was a very bold move considering Raven was never exactly a top guy, but he would go on to appear for WWE in the future and enjoyed a fair amount of screen time and popularity.
