WWE doing "Old School Night" and Slammies set. [Archive]

Would combine these with the KOTR thread but that deserves its own thread IMO.

From PWInsider:

The 2010 WWE Slammy Awards will take place on Monday 12/13 in New Orleans, LA as part of a three hour Raw.

WWE will also bring back their "Old School" theme for the 11/15 three hour Raw in Hershey, PA, so expect lots of legends appearing that night in some capacity.

From PWInsider:

WWE Hall of Famers Sgt. Slaughter, Roddy Piper, The Iron Sheik, Dusty Rhodes and Jimmy Snuka, as well as Hacksaw Duggan have been booked for the 11/15 Raw "Old School" night in Hershey, PA.

The locally announced dark match for that event will feature John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett vs. Sheamus.

Mr. C

11-02-2010, 11:18 PM

The Observer says that the plan is to go back to the 1993 RAW set and theme with no pyro. Also, they confirmed Dusty Rhodes, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, IRS, Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper, Sgt. Slaughter, and The Iron Sheik.

I feel nothing but sympathy for this.

Are they doing this RAW set for ONE NIGHT ONLY or will it be a permanent fixture?

I don't believe they'd do the old RAW set and have no pyro. MAYBE the 1999-2001 RAW set.

lol though if they do they should hold it in Hammerstein.

Unless Tarver comes out and stabs the lot of them.

Mr. C

11-04-2010, 10:25 PM

They should put Vince McMahon at the booth with Jerry Lawler and try to get guys like Ahmed Johnson and Marc Mero, then you could have the usuals that are already there like Goldust and have them put on the old school attire. The personalities/wrestlers they’re offering up are just a bunch of agents and people who constantly make appearances.

Only of those guys actually wrestled on Raw though? Before they made appearances as "legends"/HoF'rs?

By the looks of it, we're getting a retro Raw set and music, with nobody that was actually fully active when Raw started up.

Gimme guys like Ahmed Johnson, Farooq, The Godfather, Steve Blackman, Ken Shamrock, etc, Guys that were around and active on Raw. Not the same old "legends"/Hall of Famers (DiBiase, IRS, Duggan, Slaughter, etc).

I just saw a commercial for this on TV... is it bad that I marked not so much for the spot itself, but when I saw the original "USA Network" logo on the bottom too?

I wonder if they'll keep up the "Old School" theme and air and episode of Silk Stalkings afterwards.

How about an episode of Walker Texas Ranger before it at 7pm? I used to watch an episode of Star Trek TNG at 7pm before Nitro started.

This 8pm Raw really fucks up my DVR schedule up. House and How I Met Your Mother take up my 8pm spots.

Tonight they should have Barrett order Cena to give the Attitude Adjustment to one of the legends that Cena admires. I think it would be a cool angle for Cena to reluctantly hit the move on Jimmy Snuka or somebody old school babyface.
