That might have been the most rambling Stone Cold has ever done in a promo.
Meltzer did mention he originally wasn't meant to be on tonight's show due to being very busy with another film. Guess he managed to get a compromise made in order to show up at the beginning. |

Love how USA forced WWE to fly all of these people in for a nostalgia show rather than let them build to the second biggest PPV of the year

The 24/7 stuff made the show worthwhile.
That said I haven't fully enjoyed a nostalgia show since the Raw 15th Anniversary Show and I'll always view that show with rose colored glasses because I was there live and it featured a battle royal that included Steve Blackman. |

Very underwhelming show tonight based on the hype going into it. Only the 24/7 stuff and Austin's drunk promo were interesting from the legends/former stars side and the non-reunion stuff was average at best.

Raw is replaying on USA at 11:45, for some odd reason.

Austin 13,000,000,000,000 x more charismatic than anyone on current roster was my big takeaway from RAW tonight

Apparently this was the size of the crowd for Smackdown's house show while RAW Reunion was going on. Doesn't seem like it got any better as the show went on according to the same reporter from PWTorch.

At first I thought that they were cooling down the wildcard format with just Carmella appearing on RAW. But then I realized that we also had RVD appear on the show

A comment I have seen repeatedly across the internet about RAW Reunion is that it came across as a series finale.
Interesting. |

According to the Observer, this show had a bunch of rewrites made not because of Vince but because Creative wrote and planned out the show before any of the legends and former stars got medically tested first.

My only takeaway was all the women on the active roster and Kelly Kelly Candice Michelle and Alundra Blayze won the 24/7 title

I'm holding out hope that he'll promo in the street clothes, but have matches as The Fiend.

I would not have Bray do any promos in the ring. If he needs to do a promo, then it needs to be a Firefly Fun House taped segment. Let the two "characters" be separate. There is no reason for Bray to do a promo in the ring.

In a record that seems like it’ll forever be safe, Pat Patterson became the oldest champion in WWE history at 78 years old.

Buzzed through the results over on the main page.
Doesn't look like I missed much. Some of ya's was right in predicting the 24/7 belt being a hot potato for the night. |

Thought it was a good show. Cena was a surprise to start the show. Biggest surprise for me though was RVD showing up and Street Profit dude talking about the smoking session. Can't go wrong ending the show with Stone Cold.
I didn't like that throughout the show the legends and the faces won everything. They completely shit on The OC, could have had the NWO back the OC at leadt. Best thing to come from that though was the possibility of HBK vs AJ Styles bit at the end. Good show but sad they have to pull this to have one. |

Also didn't recognize Madusa and thought she was Ivory at first going by what she was wearing. Didn't get the "won't have it long" line until she was walking to commentary and I realized it was her.

I was opposed to HBK coming out of retirement, but since he already has, I'd love to see a program with AJ. Hopefully culminating in an AJ win where he acquires the moniker "Heart Break Man".
