From WCW Thunder, 1999. We're told that WCW cameras were "let in" to observe Raven and his dysfunctional family... The Levy Fam is at poolside ... Grandma, Mom and "Sister" Chastity are sitting together at a table ... Raven (or Scotty) is sitting alone as family friend Kanyon cleans the pool. Suddenly, a voice erupts off camera ... enter "Jim" aka The Sandman in glasses and lounging clothes. No beer. No barb wire. No Kendo stick. No cigarette. No cool stuff for Jim. Jim exchanges hostile greetings with Kanyon and walks over to his family, slapping Kanyon on the back in the process. Kanyon does a delayed flip into the pool and Mom gets angry because they just had the pool cleaned. Jim goes to kiss Chastity and she holds a magazine in front of her face ... he exchanges fluffy greetings with mom and grandma. Mom discourages Jim from talking with Scotty ... Jim talks about how big his kids are getting when Raven approaches and argues with Mom. Raven storms in the house and Mom tells Jim to go talk with him ... Jim follows Raven as the three women bicker. Later ... Jim and Raven are playing a board game ... Jim tells Scotty to dump Kanyon, that he's a loser. Raven wants to look at Kanyon's photo in his high school yearbook and asks Mom where the book is. Mom replies, it's in the garage in a box labled, "Scotty's Stuff." Raven gets mad that all his stuff is out in the garage, especially since it was all "tasteful." Scotty and Jim go into the garage. Raven reaches up into a cabinet and instantly finds a stash of his stuff ... in the form of vintage, 1980's Roddy Piper posters and pin-ups. Jim asks what he found and Scotty replies, "nothing." We never saw "Jim" again ... Hardcore Hak emerged but with no relation to Raven ... Chastity would continue to be Raven's sister until that whole "Live Bait" thing got out of control ... We never saw a Raven-Piper feud, of which, this vignette was obviouslly setting up.
