Who would have ever thought that in 2015 we'd see the following WCW names on one RAW: The Outsiders (Hall, Nash) X-Pac Ric Flair Hulk Hogan Sting Giant Booker T on commentary... Seemed more like a WCW Reunion tonight.... Loved the RAW ending, my only gripe is a selfish one - was really hoping to see Sting appear at the Royal Rumble, since I'm going, and the chances of that happening just went down the toilet.... but still, a great ending to RAW.... I didn't think the rest of the show was all that great, I think when Sting came out, everyone forgot that Daniel Bryan lost...Bryan lost because he's beating Kane on Smackdown. They were just selling the next match to give it credibility for the viewer come Thursday. Plus, Bryan isn't Reigns. He's the underdog, and he has to have a steady stream of him against the world moments. Big picture for the week, the loss made sense imo. I'm okay with it, I was more referring to the general posts on this thread, such as "OMG BRYAN LOST" and "WTF BRYAN JUST CAME BACK AND HE LOST"..... all the griping seemed to end as soon as Sting came out and pointed at The Authority... after that it was "BEST RAW EVER" & "THAT RAW WAS 10/10". Maybe I didn't word my post quite the way I meant... I thought RAW was okay.... a solid 7/10, with the ending being a 10/10. Aside from the very end - there was little in terms of storyline advancement, & setup for the Rumble.

Yeah, it was a decent show. Nothing more, nothing less. The end was great, though.
It's fine to go the nostalgia route, but I also don't want to lose sight of the fact that one of the biggest events of the year is this Sunday and they ignored it for about two and a half hours in favor of legends segments. Raw should sell me a Pay-Per-View, and last night's show failed to do that until the final five minutes.

The end of that Raw was something out of the Attitude Era without a doubt. Those kind of moments don't happen often. Everything unfolded so quick, it was one thing to the next, the crowd errupted, there was carnage in the Ring, shocking appearances, and even after the Sting appearance, Lesnar came out and destroyed everyone. Really enjoyed that. Praying Lesnar retains at the Rumble.

Has Sting ever wore that jacket before in TNA or is it completely new?

I really enjoyed Raw this week. Particularly the final segment.
I know the stip favoured/telegraphed a Cena win but it was booked great IMO. Stings arrival was a mark out moment and he looked in better shape I thought.
Thankfully this all but confirms Sting vs HHH @ mania. Also liked his attire. Lesnar tossing Kane and Show around like the past it bags of trash they are was absolute brilliance to me.
even Cole didn't annoy me too bad this week.......Good times!!
