I don't mind the set ups, but I disliked the episodes in general. They usually shot a lot of bad angles for laughs, usually at the expense of the talent that would be there every other week of the year. In general, I think WWE is too focused on nostalgia too much of the time, so I'm fine with them not doing these anymore.

Rather than treating it like some corporate dress down day or in this case 'dress as your old gimmick day' I would like them to actually just bring back more old school elements on a regular basis.

I just want the crappy lighting changes back. It looks too HD these days. It should be darker and a little more grungy like it used to be. Now its almost like a black tie event the way they approach everything. It seems more like business and less like fun

I love the old school setup. There's something endearing about it when it feels less polished and more intimate. Most of the time WWE feels like a machine and the wrestlers are just expendable, interchangeable parts. RAW, Smackdown, and most PPVs have the same setup these days. Just makes things monotonous.

Eh, was never big on them. Seeing returns is usually fun, but too many wrestling fans live in the past. They want everything to be like it used to be. From belt to gimmicks to arenas. I love old school, but I don't care for the rehash.

I enjoyed the old school raw episodes. Would love to see them bring it back. Also they should do old school Smackdown with the old fist set!

I miss the days when sets were simple like this. I can't stand these LED sets/ring posts/aprons they have today.
What happened to tradition?

I'd like to see them bring it back.
What I think would be amazing is if they had a story line where the shield guys kept getting screwed over, then they used it to set up a full blown shield renion (gear, theme, entrance, everything) and they came out like that, and because they'd always have guys dress as their old gimmicks it would appear to be a one time thing, then have them do it again the next week and have them cut some kind of a "you thought this was just for old school raw? Well the shield doesn't conform to the standards of the wwe, the shield does what we want, when we want,and we wanna be on top, so we're back, to take back the spot that is rightfully ours." And they come back together and take over the wwe, become free agents, and just dominate both shows for awhile, and once they dominate for a while they split and say something like "like we said, the shield does what we want, when we want, and this may be the end for now, but the shield will always be lying in wait,waiting for a time that we are needed". Then they go back to their singles runs. I'm sure a lot of people will hate this cause "they've already teased so many shield reunions who cares if they actually get back together anymore?!?!?" But I'd love it.

It was cool the first time around, felt like something special. Nowadays if they did something like that it would be just to parade out a bunch of 60-70 year old guys to make an appearance.
I don't miss it.

The Only one I liked was when JR Made an appearance on commentary then afterwards smacked Cole with his hat.

Yes, I really miss the old school RAWs, and I wish that they'd make them a yearly event again.

Yeah, I'd love to see the legends and the old style stage and the old outfits and gimmicks of current wrestlers.
Really hope it happens this year.
Plus I think it's a huge ratings draw.
