So when Prince Nana walked into Wembley Stadium less than two years after Jimmy Rave's death, with his new star client wearing Rave's iconic robe, well... Some of us may have been a little misty eyed. 🥲
That's why the robe means so much.

With Nana, Rave transformed from a somewhat bland babyface to one of the best heels on the indies.
He was one of the first major "anti-workrate" guys, who figured out how to work a style the 00s indie fans hated, while still keeping his matches interesting. He became a heat magnet.

I was recently chatting about Jimmy Rave's robe (that Ricochet currently has in AEW), and realized a lot of people may not know Rave's tragic story, or why the robe means so much.
Rave was the "Crown Jewel" of the Embassy, Prince Nana's original star client in the old ROH. Nana gave him the robe.

Bret Hart vs. Bob Backlund, July 1994. The match where Backlund snapped and locked Bret in the crossface chickenwing after losing, with a bunch of refs unable to break it, before finally letting go himself and staring at his hands like he was possessed. I was hooked for life.
