2. Raven

Raven is one of the most iconic characters in ECW history. After trying several terrible gimmicks Raven became nihilistic, depressed, and somewhat sociopathic character who quoted Edgar Allan Poe and headed his own cult called Raven’s Nest.

Raven’s gimmick was inspired by the grunge music genre. Raven not only referenced Kurt Cobain in some of his promos, but he even dressed like a stereotypical “slacker” in leather jackets, torn jeans, and flannel shirts. After joining WWE, Raven became one of the best Hardcore champions of all time and have pretty decent matches with the likes of Kane and Hardcore Holly.
