The Film
“Wrestling is such a brutal business, it doesn’t surprise people that it attracts sociopaths, fame whores, coke whores and adrenaline whores, but why did it attract an artist?” asks Billy Corgan, frontman for the Smashing Pumpkins and wrestling promoter. Nevermore: The Raven Effect examines the pivotal shift in wrestling history, through the eyes of Raven/Scott Levy, a brilliant, inventive, complicated and controversial performer. To those in the know, the ECW was an extreme and hazardous wrestling circuit that featured bloody matches, often involved real weapons, and bonkers and never before seen story angles. Raven was instrumental in setting the tone in the no-holds-barred ECW and in the process influencing the direction of wrestling as we know it today. Now approaching sixty, Raven/Levy and many others look back at an era when an extreme personality thrived in an extreme environment - the only question is, how did he live to tell the tale? Directed by Geordie Day (Director - Tough Guy: The Bob Probert Story; Producer - Charles Manson: The Final Words).
