Man I can watch Strowman and Lesnar throw each other around all night long if need be. Forget about the other Matches.

What do you call a celebration of quarter a century let downs? Raw 25th year special.

Raw 25 had alot of promise. ...then squandered it with a few bad moves.....so it's very fitting for an anniversary show.

Great episode of RAW.. A lot of nostalgia with all these legends and former stars.. DX segment was fun, minus the Balor Club's involvement, but it made sense because Gallows/Anderson was to have a match. Austin was fun to see as always. Elias is the best heel in the business.. Brock/Kane/Strowman could've been better, but they were short on time probably..

Anyways, good job WWE.

Fun show all around, time flew by. It was good to see all of the big names of the past.

I thought the reasoning behind everyone at ringside during the final segment was to have that big brawl that they always do before the rumble.

From what I saw, this show was an uber letdown but I still need to finish off about half the show. After reading the first hand account of what the people at the Manhattan Center went through, I feel super sorry for those bastards.

Yeah I saw people at the Manhattan Center saying they paid $1000 to watch Raw on a big screen and get treated to a couple house show matches. That has to suck

They guys decided to buy a ticket. It's their own fault.. They should've went to Barclay's instead or watch it from home like everybody else.

I’m going to use arm chair arm dragging here…every quarterly hour would be a legend, then I throw in my hottest acts.

Braun and Brock would have sit down interviews in hours 1 and 2…then book the big showdown without all the roster just standing there looking dumb.

If I was using the women in a big tag match. …I would’ve asked if any of the women they brought in for this show wanted to work…then keep harping on how many of these “legends” could show up in the women’s Rumble.

Reigns and Miz were perfect…wouldn’t change a thing.

Would’ve left the Bar off the show, used them at the Manhatten centre against the Dudleys and maybe the crowd wouldn’t have acted like spoiled kids. Or even booked guys in a battle royal in the Manhatten centre.

I feel like the Barclays crowd wouldn’t have been so vocal of they had to see a few segments on the tron, if they had both places with equal time and used dark matches to keep the crowd entertained, show would’ve been met with better reactions

Two arenas was a bad idea for show. But financially, it's pretty wise.
