Why didn't Razor hit his finish? lol because it would have finished him more than his opponent.

I wish I could drop 50 pounds from the flu I once lost 50 pounds in two weeks due to a Crohn's Disease flare-up and surgery. It's not a weight loss plan I recommend to anybody. Crohns disease is very bad, Braun didnt have that did he?

Incredibly surprised to see such a negative reaction to this show. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly entertained for almost the entire three hours, and I usually despise "celebration"/anniversary shows. I hate how they completely sacrifice the integrity of today's talent in favor of putting over legends and past stars. I thought that was almost a non-issue tonight, with the exception of The Revival (which we all knew was coming after last week.)
They crammed a lot into those three hours, and I thought it was an excellent blend of past and present. I thought the Elias/Cena segment went a little long, and I could've done without the tag match in the third hour. Otherwise, no complaints.
I sympathize with those in attendance in either venue, though. While I thought this was a great show to watch on TV, it's not one I would've liked to have attended.
The only major issue I have has nothing to do with the show itself, but rather, the fact that its mere existence so close to the Rumble only served to highlight just a how poor of a job they've done hyping the Rumble match itself this year.

Vince would be better booking this show with him and Pat Patterson in their speedos around Vince's pool like back in the day.

Randy Orton is probably glad he wasn't involved in tonights show. Would have been a major waste of his time to be subjected to a simple backstage segment where he says one word

Of all the episodes of Raw I have watched over the past 25 years, that was definitely one of them.

After watching Raw for 20 of the 25 years of it’s existence I should have probably known better than to have high expectations.
When the best part is the opening segment that tells you everything you need to know.

i mean i wasnt expecting them to close the Rumble go-home RAW with Austin stunning everyone or DX hitting finishers.... and i wasn't even expecting just an entire nostalgia trip but they literally did NOTHING with almost every single "legend" that was advertised to be there. they hyped the living out of this show (what a surprise) and i legitimately feel BAD for telling a few of my friends who haven't watched any WWE in years to tune in tonight thinking they would see something....you know.....enjoyable. instead they saw a normal episode of RAW, with a few guys who aren't employed anymore doing stuff. it was just ing pointless, and a complete waste of time. im just really disappointed.....and not because everything didn't happen the way i fantasy booked it in my head. because i set my expectations just a little bit high because i figured with ALL the hype they might do something different or something truly memorable and maybe give me some bits and pieces of these guys who were there instead of just throwing them all together in random segments that went nowhere and served ZERO purpose add to that the show was just ing terrible with boring wrestling and a flat out AWFUL main event/ending. just one of the most disappointing nights i've had as a wrestling fan

It felt better sitting on the toilet the other day getting rid of the last remnants of a bad kebab going through my colon, than watching Raw tonight.

I didn't mind tonight's show. I think having it in one building would have been better. I also would have made it 4 hours to space things out a bit better. I though the dx/ Balor club segment was cool. Interesting to see that nothing went down between Taker and Cena.

I was really letdown by Taker's appearance and the fact that Austin didn't get any mic time. Those were really the only two appearances I was looking forward to. Undertaker's promo was just confusing, and I thought the purpose of him being there was to begin the build to a Mania match. Sadly, it doesn't look like that's going to happen now, so the fact that they'd have him even cut a promo and get people's hopes up was dumb. Also, it would've been a lot better if they didn't advertise every single legend ahead of time if they had no surprises planned. Like, they really needed to advertise that Chris Jericho was going to be on the show when all they had him do was be in a two-minute skit backstage? Or advertise Christian just for him to come out and introduce Rollins and Jordan?
Meh, whatever. Seeing Austin was awesome, the other 2 hours and 40 minutes was a bore. At least it's not like there was anything else on tonight that I missed over this.

I'm so happy someone got that reference. I legitimately don't know if I've ever heard someone other than Charlie Brown use "good grief." Unless they were quoting Charlie Brown.

Holy crap, Austin cut an amazing backstage promo that was a classic. He went into total Stone Cold mode for it!

That was almost surely thrown together on the spot. Ideal opportunity to reach out to old and returning fans and they blew it. The poker scene was incredibly lazy. Even with minimal effort they could have produced a series of small backstage interactions like the Henry/Godfather moment.
I confess that I’m a seasonal fan and I’m out of touch with the last 6-9 months of WWE television, but I was psyched for tonight and the only things I enjoyed were the Elias segments and the Miz/Reigns match.
