WWE doing "Old School Night" and Slammies set.
 

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.

You know who lives and, in fact, works in PA?

I assume it's basically the 15th anniversary show under a different name.

great, another Jerry the King Lawler match

Which Old School theme?

Use the very first RAW theme music.

Noo the one from 99 is better....MUCH better.

Shawn Michaels dancing on top of Titan Tower.

The only thing that'll make me mark out on an "Old School Raw" would be Razor Ramon coming out.

Owen Hart was the greatest Slammy award winrar of all the times.

Yeah, but I get the feeling he's not making an appearance.

I can't wait to mark out all night long, and be ultimately disappointed at the end of the show.

I bet the Nexus will continue their role as the legend killers.

That would be Awesome...

:y:

Nexus will come out dressed as the nWo and "take over".

I'd probably put it as marking out all month long, and ultimately end up disappointed on the 15th.

THESE are the Old School WWE Themes i'd mark out for!

BUT I would REALLY mark out if Raw started like this

Take a shot everytime Cole says vintage.

Kevin Nash making an appearance would make me mark out for at least 27 minutes straight. Maybe even 33 minutes.

The Outsiders coming out together? Jesus, I'm about to bust one just thinking about it.

Good eye. I said "Razor Ramon", not "Scott Hall". That would suffice.

so are they changing the RAW theme for this one night only or are we finally witnessing the demise of that God-awful Nickleback theme?

I bloody love the Nickleback theme you bastards.

Does anyone out there know what the hell the words to this song were? I could never figure them out.

Someone posted it, and I have thought about it before too. They might as well have a vintage night where wrestlers go back to old gimmicks for one night.

It's my life in a box
And charred to beat!
Taking chalk in my arms
It's the soul of me!
You want fire,
Ashes see me laying face down

What has caught the thorn in your eye?

You've got your hopes up JUST A LITTLE BIT.

FEAR THE BEARD!

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.

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?

If it's the latter I will mark out hard

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.

Piper is the only legend that interests me.

Unless Tarver comes out and stabs the lot of them.

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.

What The Observer said, not me.

I know. Still don't believe they'd do it.

I’m fine with a Legends Battle Royal featuring Jim Neidhart, Ricky Steamboat, Rikishi, Roddy Piper, Sgt. Slaughter, The Barbarian, The Mountie, Tito Santana, Val Venis, and X-Pac.

Al Snow is in TNA and I think Jim Neidhart is still in jail.

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.

Glad I only watch House.

Somebody different would make a change....give the Headbangers another run with the belts:shifty:

Any time Iron Sheik makes an appearance on live TV, the potential for gold is there.

I could totally see the Iron Sheik showing up in Pittsburgh for the Raw show in Hershey.

I can only hope that Shiek drops a couple of f-bombs by accident, on this PG_style shit

WWE Old School
 

Who would be the biggest suprise you would want thier . besides the obvious Rock one ?

Jesse Ventura

Perry Saturn

Ken Shamrock

Mantaur

Adam Bomb

Only one man I would ever choose...

Sgt Slaughter would be cool to see for once

hope they show the video of HBK coming down on the zipline from Mania 12 as well

I hope Damien Demento is on the show.

Only he and The Undertaker can say that they main evented the first RAW. And The Undertaker is dead.

this is confirmed .

see their

Rather have this one

I wish they'd start using the classic RAW theme + set as a more permanent fixture for RAW instead of it being for one night only

really? wow. had no idea they would finally get Sarge to show up for one of these legends things

It's not like Sarge hasn't been around forever. Last time we saw him was his confrontation with Randy orton, 2004_style

He was being sarcastic...

That last post should not have been necessary. Sadly it seems it was. :nono:

Honestly, any one of those would be better than Slaughter, Snuka, MDM, IRS, etc again.

Didn't he guest host Raw late last year?

I think so. I bet he was also in some backstage skit last week. And serving coffee the week before. Sarge is an enigma

The gimmick doesn’t matter to me at all, really, other than something with Goldust and Papa Shango. What about Goldust/Shango vs. Nexus for the titles!?!?

I wonder if they'll have the old school set with the big RAW where the wrestlers came out of. Also Marty Janetty FTW.

Last time you saw him maybe.

He's made appearances in 2005, 06, 08 and 09.

I would assume Bret Hart makes his return tonight.

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.

Woah, The Rock is a lot more jacked then the last time I saw him.

ROCK.....SMASH!!

The old R A W set has been confirmed.

God damn Rock looks like he found a stash of roids.

Is HULO HOGAN going to be there to bodyslammer Andy the gaint? And whut about THE ROCK
