should be a great show

 

Anything that involves Dusty Rhodes is gold!

 

can't wait! shall we call it WWF for one night?

 

I sure am


I want Vince to do the commentary with King tonight!

 

Excited to see Iron Sheik break backs and humble mother fuckers !
Always like seeing Piper too

 

GUESS WHAT MOTHERFUCKERS?!

Sheiky Baby is in the house tonight!

I'M GOING TO BREAK THE NEXUS BACK, FACK WADE BARRETT IN DA ASS, AND MAKE THEM ALL HOOMBLE!~

Not to mention it's WWF tonight. OMFG, I'll mark out if they go full fledged mode and really act like it's the 90's again. If I hear "World Wrestling Federation" by Vince McMahon, it would be the most awesome thing to happen in wrestling in YEARS.

 

would be cool to see vince on commentary for one night.

 

Really looking forward to RAW, it's going to be good seeing all these legends return for one night again. I'm also hoping they go all out, and have the old school entrance, as well as the old school theme. Man, that would be awesome!

 

GUESS WHAT MOTHERFUCKERS?!

Sheiky Baby is in the house tonight!

I'M GOING TO BREAK THE NEXUS BACK, FACK WADE BARRETT DAVID OTUNGA IN DA ASS, AND MAKE THEM ALL HOOMBLE!~

There, now we're all set.

Not excited about this Raw at all, I don't like the 80's/early 90's of wrestling at all, but Sheiky Baby will be there, so there's a positive. But why are they doing an Old School Raw instead of building for Survivor Series?

 

It does make room for the Survivor Series elimination match though, since there isn't an obvious match right now using guys on the main roster can't you just see the remaining Nexus members against a team of Legends?

 

I agree with Pryo, why are they doing a unecessary gimmick raw show when they have only announced three matches for Survivor Series, which by the way is this coming sunday

 

Pyro is right this time, I don't care for those old wrestlers at all.
And if Dusty Rhodes speaks, please WWE, please give us some subtitles. That guy is just horrible.

 

I can see that happening, but wouldn't you rather see the 5 Nexus guys that aren't Cena and Barrett face a SmackDown team? I figured that's why they were invading SmackDown. Fuck the legends. I don't want to see Piper's 10,000 lbs. ass waddle down to the ring looking like the Loch Ness Monster.

Otunga, Gabriel, Slater, McGillicutty, Harris vs Big Show, Kofi, Swagger, and 2 other random guys. I don't know who. Not Rey or Del Rio, they should be facing each other, and not MVP and Ziggler, since they should also be facing each other for the US title. Maybe just throw 2 useless guys in there like Masters and Reks.

IC title you mean?

And yeh, i'd also rather see them facing Team WWE again instead of facing legends, i just cringed at imagining Slater overselling one of the legends' weak punch.

 

No, I meant the Hardcore title. ~_~ Of course I meant the IC title, what title is Ziggler holding? Come on.

From a match perspective absolutely, Nexus vs Legends would suck. It would however allow for a much more dominating win since the Lengends don't need to be protected in that way which is good for the group as a whole, I would have Nexus finish with 4 members, Otunga being the only one pinned :lmao

I guess you're right on that. I think they could find a way for Nexus to beat Team SmackDown, though. Have one of the weak ones get pinned.

If you don't care about keeping Nexus look even slightly relevent then sure, go with Team Smackdown.

Why would they look more relevent going against guys who haven't been relevent themselves in 15-20 years? Sure, they'd win easier, but the match would look worthless. A match with Team SmackDown would at least carry some legitimacy.

My picks would be Big Show, Kofi, Swagger, Rhodes and Kaval (you'll note that I've picked former NXT pros currently on Smackdown and not involved in their own angles, if Christian wasn't injured he'd be on the team instead of Swagger)

I hate Swagger, but he should be on the team. He's a former World Heavyweight Champion, it adds legitimacy to the team. If Christian wasn't injured, he should replace Rhodes. Kaval can stay so he takes the easy pin, and maybe have Hennig pin him to push the fact that he feels he was screwed coming in as the runner up on NXT season 2. Not that I want to see that dolt pushed, but it makes storyline sense.

 

I was only a baby when all these old guys were wrestling, so I'm not really fussed about this "old school" Raw tonight.

I'd much prefer some Attitude Era nostalgia. /broken record

 

YES!

I say we call it WWF for this night

 

Well tonights show can got 1 of 2 ways... Be pretty epic or be a total shitfest... I'm indifferent on which it will be, I never go into a show expecting anything so yeah we'll see what happens.

 

I suspect it'll be the latter option - a total shitfest.

 

would be cool if they used the old title design belts for the night

Return of the superior WWE belt!

 

Looking forward to this, if it's done right then it'll be pretty great.

 

I wouldn't get my hopes up really. The show won't be all that imo.

 

No one is going to suggest that they'll do this old school thing while building the current feuds/matches for Survivor Series? They are going to have three hours, it's pretty safe to assume they'll do just that, while having interviews or whatever with some legends. I'd be shocked if Miz didn't interrupt someone while they were giving a promo in the ring.

 

Woohoo! I can't wait to see Sheik, Piper, Rhodes, DiBiase, Slaughter, Snuka, and Jim Duggan because we never see them on WWE anymore. Yawn.

Though I will mark for Sheik lol

Going to miss the first hour or hour and a half which sucks but I doubt I'll really miss much

 

I do look forward to RAW, as I do most weeks, but three hour RAWs do tend to end up pretty shitty.

I would have thought they might want to concentrate on the overall lack of build-up for Survivor Series rather than giving some older wrestlers screen time...for not much of a reason. Hope they get to build on some potential matches for SS on this show rather than having the legends featured throughout.

 

One thing about these 3 hour shows, the first hour is usually dreadful shite then picks up a little.
Plus the past couple of 3 hour specials haven't been too good so it doesn't bode well.
Prove me wrong Vince, prove me wrong!

 

i would mark for Dean Malenko

 

Tatanka is going to be there tonight also so I'll be marking

 

Indeed. This in itself makes the entire show worthwhile.

Fucking Tatanka. YES!

 

For anyone unsure, RAW starts at 1am tonight in the UK.

1am UK time

 

I just hope that it's not just the same few past wrestlers who either work backstage and/or show up every time WWE has a special RAW show. Yes, that includes Rhodes, Dibiase, Steamboat, Shiek and Pipper.

JR on commentary would be great.

Obviously the Fink will probably be there.

We shall see how it goes. I may actually share football TV time with RAW tonight. Tatanka being there helps convince me to watch.

 

The Miz on Piper's Pit please.

 

This.

Or if not Miz then at least let Santino on.

I'd love a segment with any combination of Miz, Riley, Santino, Piper, & Sheik.
