I attended the show last night and thought it was great. Walked up to the box office around 5pm and was able to buy 6 floor tickets together to a show that was allegedly sold out a week ago. Sat on the last row of the floor, right in front of the entrance area, so when it came to people making their entrances the seats turned into front row lol. I'm not sure how well it held up just watching it on TV from home, but being there in person with the old school set and theme and everything was awesome. Glad Taker is back and facing Punk at Mania, even though we all already know the outcome. Anyhow, I thought it was one of the better RAW's as of late. Here's my pics from the show if you're interested... www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152613327745313.1073741827.650195312&type=1&l=5820673251

WWE just will never make everyone happy and i get that. I loved being there last night and the crowd was electric big time for the Rock and Undertaker especially . When he came out to start the show, the fans were going nuts. I don't think it translated as well on camera, but by no means was that crowd awful or dead all night. It was amazing for most of it. It died for some of the time like Del-Rio/Barrett, but when u see the same match a million times, you die down a bit. I enjoyed the hell out of myself last night and was happy to have been there live. The Outlaws, Ric Flair, Rock, Taker... Just a great night and Punk looked great.

Scoring pretty good seats the day of the show is relatively common, too, even when they say it's "sold out". I've actually walked up to the box office the day of a house show expecting to just buy some cheap seats to get in, and my friend and I said "what's the best you've got?" The guy looks at his map and says "how about front row?". WWE (along with all other acts) almost always throws out whatever tickets they no longer need for comps, promos, etc, at the last minute

Never got front row that way before though... thats pretty impressive.

for the people who went last night, im suprsed you guys had a good time. when i was watching, all i could think was how upset the fans were for not having much matches going on or sort ones. espically what Fandango pulled. im sure no one cares about him because i certainly dont.

I was quite disappointed with this Old School Raw, the first one was SO much better. This is the kind of show that should be done when build-up to a PPV doesn't have to be done so much. Even though the first OSR took place on the Monday before Survivor Series '10, it was really well done. Toward the end of the show, I thought about the first OSR and all of the legends standing in front of the set, they stretched from one end of the set to the other. Last night, they would've have barely covered up the "RAW" letters. I loved seeing the legends that were there, I just wished there had been more of them. I wished they had done "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews on the program and not through the app. I also loved the old set-up and themes, it was awesome to hear "Thorn In Your Eye" on Raw again. I am totally against the way the set up was done for the WM Punk/Undertaker match. It should have been done differently. No Undertaker to start off the show, no Fatal 4 Way match. It should've been Punk with a continuation of last week's promo to close the show and Undertaker coming down to the ring with the ever iconic shot of the WM logo in the background.

Punk interrupting Mae Young's birthday party was golden.

I was at the show and let me say it was awesome. I was so happy NAO wrestled Undertaker returned Triple H was awesome The Rock had the biggest pop I every heard it was great to finally see him live. I think it will be Ryback/Henry at WM Also I think that Show might be turning face IMO and at WM I think it will be The Sheild vs Sheamus,Orton,and Show The Show/Punk/Orton/Sheamus match was good LOL w/ D-Bry taking the $100 A kid was behind me and everytime someone got hit he would be omg he is out cold and he really though The Big Show was dead when he was laying on the floor. I got the new HHH shirt Flair was awesome and Flair did something looking at AJ that was not shown on tv dont want to say anything else about that. IMO I give Raw a 10 out of 10 I cant wait to go to Over The Limit

I was there as well and I feel the same way. I was surprised people said the crowd was dead. It was sold out and the atmosphere was great for the main segments. Sure there was some downtime during ADR vs. Barrett and matches like that, but I thought the crowd was good. I also loved the show. It's by far the best WWE event I've been to, including a couple PPV's.

I got stuck working a double last night and had to DVR the show. Finally got a chance to watch it and what a great show, I love the Old School Raw! Seeing the New Age Outlaws return to action made my night though. I am jealous of all of you who actually got to see the show live!

I wish the WWE would go all out for the Old School RAW.
- Big Show wearing his all black singlet, coming out to his theme from Vol. 4 - Kane with his original theme (the old costume would be cool too) - Other guys wearing throwback attire, with throwback music (Orton, Jericho ((where was Jericho anyway??)) R-Truth, Rock, etc). - Finkel ring announcing the entire night. Cole wearing the RAW is WAR denim jacket. Ross commentating - Legends not just thrown randomly outside the ring for no reason. - Classic backstage promos - NO Twitter, Tout, DYK....any of that crap
doing this kind of show on the RTWM was pointless. it was just the same rushed, jumbled storylines with the red white & blue ring.

^Thanks! Some of my pics turned out like crap, but those were a couple of the better ones. - Other guys wearing throwback attire, with throwback music (Orton, Jericho ((where was Jericho anyway??)) R-Truth, Rock, etc). Jericho has been on tour with Fozzy in Australia for the last two weeks. I believe it wrapped up yesterday though so he should be back next week.

oh alright, i didnt know Jericho was away, makes sense then. RAW was severely lacking the awesomeness of Y2J this week.
