Vengeance Ends Raven's Career in Title vs. Career Match at "Wrestlemania 4"

Raven and Vengeance have a lot of history together. These 2 men actually began working together as a tag team for a many weeks, but Vengeance knocked Raven off of the ring apron a few times at "Summerslam 2." Then, Raven turned on Vengeance in the buildup to "Wrestlemania 2." During the build to "Wrestlemania 2," Commissioner Penska tried to kiss Vengeance, and he pulled away. So, she booked Raven vs. Vengeance at "Wrestlemania 2" in a Loser Leaves DCW Match. Raven ended up defeating Vengeance, and Vengeance was released from the company. Vengeance also lost his World Championship Match opportunity that was granted by DCW Owner Ryu Hayabusa after Vengeance won the 28 Man Elimination Royal Rumble 2 Match.

After Vengeance was fired on the night of "Wrestlemania 2," he disappeared from DCW for 14 months, and he returned at the end of the "Survivor Series 3" pay per view Event after Goldberg just helped Hollywood Hogan defeat Dismembered in the DCW World Heavyweight Championship Match. 6 months later, Vengeance was rehired by DCW Ryu Hayabusa and granted his World Title Match for his victory in the 28 Man Elimination Royal Rumble 2 Match. Vengeance faced off against the DCW World Heavyweight Champion Hollywood Hogan at "Royal Rumble 4," and Raven showed up to help Hogan defeat Vengeance igniting their feud once again.

One month later at WCW vs. DCW: "Summerslam 4: The Invasion Begins," Vengeance was able to win the DCW Intercontinental Championship. One week later on RAW, Raven challenged Vengeance to an Intercontinental Championship Match, but Vengeance said he would only give Raven the championship match if the match was turned into a Title vs. Career Match. Raven agreed to the terms. 

Now let's take a look at this Raven vs. Vengeance match at WCW vs. DCW: "Wrestlemania 4: The Invasion Continues." Vengeance nails Raven with a huge backdrop outside the ring at 2:13. The match eventually led to the backstage area. In a hallway, Vengeance hits Raven with a fire extinguisher at the 5:44 mark. Around a minute later, Raven hit Vengeance with a backdrop near a pool table in the bar area. Not long after that, though, Vengeance nailed Raven with an Evenflow DDT on the floor at 7:04, but it wasn't enough to gain the victory. By the 9:55 mark, Vengeance has hit Raven with 2 devastating Jackknife Powerbombs in the back of a production truck. Vengeance then covered Raven for the pinfall victory at 10:00. This storyline has come full circle, and now it's Vengeance who has finally gotten his revenge, and Raven's career is over. Raven has been fired!

WINNER: VENGEANCE
