Id maybe like them to take some of the old skool elements and update it for the current look. I wouldnt want the 90's ring every week though as that was special to the time and the novelty would soon wear off.

The blue is a bit too old school for me, should have a PPV for it thought in an old school theme but I do prefer the set up more. I would prefer the all red ropes with black Raw apron.
No crowd lights is one of the big things that makes a huge difference to me.
I wouldn't prefer the old-school guard rails or ringside mats. I much prefer the black. The ropes I would change to black, And I'd have a change in the actual entrance stage. Whilst awesome, I would like a change there.
I think they should keep the lights over the crowd like at old school. The crowd stands out way more and feels like they're more apart if the show and influencing what's happening
I hated the lights on the crowd....because all you could see was everyone sitting on their hands.
The opening to the show was 100000000x better than the current one. It just felt more exciting, with the old school theme & video then the pyro over the ring. I understand why they use all the new stuff, but sometimes less is more.

I love guard rails over the barricade. It's probably not as safe, and not really as spot friendly as the barricade, but I just like the look of them much better. However, if I could pick one thing to keep it would be the entrance stage. The Tron over the block letters is really cool imo, and I like the more simplistic look.

Agree with that. I hate how in recent years the crowd nearly always seems to under dark lights or almost no light at all, it feels like they aren't a part of the show.

I loved the old school Raw. They've spent so many years upgrading all their graphics production etc, that now it feels overproduced. They kept it simple which made it feel more organic and real
