4	Raven's Nest was a ProfessionalWrestling PowerStable in Wrestling/{{ECW}} from 1995 to 1997. Wrestling/{{Raven}} put together the group for the purpose of destroying his [[{{Kayfabe}} longtime nemesis]] Wrestling/TommyDreamer, which stemmed, in the storyline, from when they were kids and Dreamer had been mean to Wrestling/BeulahMcGillicutty when she was the fat girl at summer camp. It was the biggest group in ECW ''ever''. There would often be ten or more people in the group at a time.

6	Later, Raven created other incarnations of the group in Wrestling/{{WCW}} such as The Flock and The Dead Pool,[[note]]Although Raven quit WCW and went back to ECW a month after the latter group's inception, which continued together without him as The Dark Carnival[[/note]] and in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] such as The Gathering and Serotonin.
