As IMPACT Wrestling gears up for its annual Bound For Glory pay-per-view, the latest inductee has been revealed for the company’s Hall of Fame!
Established in 2012, it has become tradition for Bound For Glory to welcome the newest member of the IMPACT Hall of Fame. Beginning with Sting, the likes of Ken Shamrock, Abyss, Gail Kim, and Team 3D have since entered, with Awesome Kong the most recent inductee.
Now, they’ll be joined by Raven. The ECW legend was unveiled as the 2022 inductee into the Hall of Fame during the Anthem-helmed promotion’s Victory Road special.

Though better known for his work in Extreme Championship Wrestling, Raven was synonymous with IMPACT Wrestling throughout its early history. Debuting in January 2003, he enjoyed one reign as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, a title he gained upon winning the King of the Mountain match at the 2005 Slammiversary.
During his time in then then-TNA, Raven participated in some memorable matches, including the inaugural Monster’s Ball and his own creation, the Raven’s Clockwork Orange House of Fun match. Rivalries with Jeff Jarrett and Larry Zbyszko, and alliances in The Gathering and Serotonin were among his highlights.
Officially departing the promotion in 2010, Raven made his latest appearance for IMPACT Wrestling this past July, appearing at Against All Odds to promote the return of his Clockwork Orange House of Fun match between Sami Callihan and Moose.
