20th Anniversary Of Raw What A Let Down……

Well guys I am back to discuses last nights Raw 20th Anniversary show which I’m sure most if not all the WWE universe  tuned in to watch! I have to admit I had high hopes for this one and after reading quite a bit of news about it online I couldn’t wait to see what the company had planned for this land mark episode, switching the TV on and the last few seconds before Raw started I had butterfly’s in my belly this is a show I have been watching since I was two years of age. When the opening titles started, my jaw dropped it was so awesome seeing the old school “Raw Is War” titles as well as many others and then I thought “ya no what this might be pretty dam good” oh how I was wrong.

The fact is after reading about the Anniversary show, I read that the company didn’t want it to be like the 1000th episode and wanted to bring back legends that maybe haven’t been on other shows. Which I felt was a great idea and with talk about the undertaker returning and the legend Stone cold being there I couldn’t control myself, after 20 minutes into the show not one legend had I seen and it just seemed like a normal “Raw”. I decided to wait and see and the only people that ended up being there was the WWE legends that you always see pretty much once a month Mick Foley, The Rock and Ric Flair and don’t get me wrong I love these guys but why not use other wrestlers from the past 20 years who don’t always get a spot!

To be honest my view is this the company really has gone down hill and if your a new breed wrestling fan or old school like myself you can not say that statement is not true. It seems to me they have just become lazy I mean why not do like a show where the new wrestling stars of the WWE and old school stars from the WWF talk about THEIR fave moments and match’s of Raw, then show them clips I feel that would of been more interesting than what I wasted 4 hours of my life on which I am not going to get back. I mean come on WWE even the clips you showed are ALWAYS the same ones Vince being blown up, DX and stone cold beer truck! It was just such a poor ass show that you could see not much time or effort was put into it and that’s really sad because there will come a point when fans will just stop wasting their time tuning in because you are just seeing the same thing every week.

All in all it was a complete let down and the only highlight of it was seeing finally at the end with Booker T, I just hope the company will start to realize that money really isn’t everything and us fans should be the most important people at the end of the day its us that makes the show! Thanks for reading and please leave comments below about what you thought of this!
