I don't know. Since it's a legends Raw, I might actually be able to mark out. You know, pretend it's just a nostalgia show?

So... uh... 1 hour of Hogan, 1 hour of Triple H, and 1 hour for everything else!

WWE officials are hoping for a big number from RAW on it's debut with USA Networks. This is partly because of the return of Triple H, who by all indications will return to feud with Ric Flair and appearances by Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin. As one source reports, if the rating is not above a 4.0 then WWE will be very disappointed.

If they can't pull 4.0 with the legends they['ve got returning, they don't deserve a 5 AM infomercial slot.

I hope they pull a good rating... However, if they want it they need to... gee... I don't know....
GET THE FUCKING WORD OUT!!! There are a good number of non-internet fans (also known as Lernarites) who don't know what's going on unless they see John Cena's face for a whole 1.6 seconds on the USA network during an ad for everything on USA. With all due respect to Spike TV, otherwise known as the "We fuck sheep network before WWE Raw came on" let the WWE say what's going on. Vinne Mac Daddy made Spike TV what it is... Maybe if Eric comes out and says "Do NOT miss RAW on this day! Check your local listings for this 3 hour RAW with many legends, and the reintroduction of a very special title..." (okay, I just want to see the Hardcore title come back) |

3 Hours is probably better for the egos they'll have in the building. Hopefully all the legends are involved with younger guys at the show. Hogan vs. Cena, Austin vs. Benjamin, Foley vs. Carlito, Vader vs. Kane, etc.
I'm not sure how much it would cost the WWE, or USA, since i'm not an expert on television, but do you think a regular 3 hour slot is too much TV time for the WWE? Have them dedicate the two hour timeslots to the SmackDown! guys or something, while sort of combining Heat and RAW. It probably wouldn't work out, but anything new keeps me interested. |

Maybe the stage will have a new design. They might as well reinvent everything.

I hope they do have a different set, etc. I think RAW could use a new logo as well. I don't know why, but I think black & gold would be an effective colour scheme for RAW. The red should probably stay, but I'm in the mood for a change.

Yeah, they've had the current design for quite awhile. SD could use something new as well.
Ooh, maybe RAW can have a big open hand above the Titantron. ![]() |

No if they put something on top of the Titantron it'll be more than likely some kind of HHH altar that he and/or the WWE will make the superstars, fans, etc. bow down to. ![]() |

1st hour : Triple H promo
2nd hour : Masterlock challenge and a horrible unfunny Carlito's Cabana ( Because honestly. Carlitos Cabana is the most overrated thing ever. Its not funny. Its slow and Carlito seems like he cant think of material ) 3rd hour : John Cena sucks and Kurt Angle owns as usual. Triple H finds a way to get in the main event. The end. |

The current RAW logo and parallelogram design has been around for about 3-4 years, no? Before then it was the stencil "RAW IS WAR" rectangular logo, back when it was WWF. I think it's too soon for a LOGO change. An arena/set change, sure...

Hopefully they'll come up with some great matches. If not, it's just going to be twenty promos and three matches.

I'm guessing the night will be filled with promos/backstage segments and a few matches.

JR said in his most recent Ross Report that he wants to see a 2/3 Falls Match on TV. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels or Kurt Angle vs. Shelton Benjamin having this match on a 3-hour RAW would be an effective way to get it in.

You know... personally, instead of hyping the returns of stale old characters, how about they hype some crazy insane maybe PPV quality matches?
Ya know... have some excitement instead of egostrokement? |

Okay, that actually WAS true of Nitro, but when Austin and Hogan were big, each of them were still in decent shape. Triple H used to be the man, instead of the poison vince has injected into the WWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe...And Foley? Foley still is...He's just not a wrestler anymore. We're not getting Hogan vs the Giant or Michaels vs Hart or Rock vs Austin or Mankind vs Taker. We're getting some retired wrestlers, most of which can't perform anymore. That's less like nostalgia (where you'd watch those matches for old time's sake) and more like learning there's no Santa Claus, and your dad's not a superhero (And whatever other myths kids go under). ...Sorry if there are any spoilers there. |
