Yeah initially was like WTF but as the match went on I'm like awwww shit they telling a story. I'm remembering some of this shit. I think that shit was impressive.
The two matches I was looking least forward too.....well probably the least 3 was the Goldberg, Cena and Taker matches. If you gonna bring these OG's like Goldberg back this is proof you might need to do it in a cinematic type atmosphere like Taker and Cena did. You gotta do more than these my finisher vs your finisher type matches.
There's been Black folks in damn near every match tonight on Raw.

Did any of them win a match though?
I didn't get that fun house match. But the ending with big show last night sucked. Is he going to aew?
Big Show is a WWE lifer and close to retirement. He has a new Netflix show, based on his WWE character. He isn't going anywhere.
Man, I popped like a fanboy during that Firefly Funshouse match.
The old Saturday Night Main Event part with the theme song really got me and of course the Vince puppet saying "That's good shit".
I get it's not for everyone, but I enjoyed it.
WWE did about as good a job as they could given the circumstances and the short amount of time to prepare.
I thought the usage of old clips, delving into what ifs regarding Cena, his history and all was OK, I just was expecting an actual match similar to when the Wyatts fought New Day at the Wyatt co.pound, or when Taker fought AJ in the Boneyard Match on Wrestlemania night 1.
Like I said, never really been a fan of the Firefly Funhouse stuff or even a fan of the Fiend character, so that may why I didn't like it.
I like Wyatt, just don't care for the Fiend.
I'll admit, The Firefly Funhouse match told an excellent story, but the way it was delivered just did not connect with me.
Rare to see Goldberg dominated like that.
Damn. I don't remember. lol
Street profits won, but it was like 3 matches in 1. Crews got beat, some black dude from NXT lost. I mean Ricochet is now on his way to WWE obscurity as he is tagged with Cedric Alexander. They won, but c'mon son we know where this is headed.
I never thought I'd see the day Big Show turned into a jobber.
They just kinda wheeled him out there to put McIntyre over and get his reign started off on the right foot.
Big been a jobber FOR YEARS!!!!
I think Roddy Piper had a podcast that featured Godfather and he talked about owning a club
Yeah, Big Show was never given the Andre props. Even though he is better than the great Andre in every way he was never booked as a constant threat as a heel or an unstoppable baby face. Andre during his time did not need a belt because he was over world wide already decades before the tech boom. If they would have put the belt on Andre in the 70s to early 80s who realistically could take it from him. That is the biggest difference between Andre and Big Show.
I remember hearing about Big Show doing moonsaults when he was younger.
Imagine seeing that.
Big Show should have been unstoppable.
Reminds me of when Austin beat him on Raw shortly after his debut. I loved the way the match went and how Austin won (chairs to his legs to get him down for a stunner) but I always felt it was a wasted opportunity to make him a beast. Would have preferred that win be on a big ppv after Show has been just dominating everyone for weeks.
Show came from WCW very few got the rub from there. Hell even Jericho been buried with an anvil around his neck
Remember he did missile drop kicks from the top rope a few times.
I listened to him on the Stone Cold podcast and when he was willing to put Austin over in their first match it went down hill from their. He felt that if he wasn't willing to speak up for himself then Vince didn't see him as guy he could make money in.
Ain't it funny that most of the monster heels like Show, Henry, Strowman are chill and gentle dudes off camera while some of the babyfaces over the history of the business been jerks behind the scenes.
Shawn Michaels is the first name that comes to mind!
Yep, that is who I was thinking of when I typed it. Just did not want to be obvious.

But then Kevin Nash and Scott Hall are a couple of cool ass cats
Always
Hogan is right next to him. May not have been a jerk but he was a master at politics backstage.Yep, that is who I was thinking of when I typed it. Just did not want to be obvious.
That's what I was gonna say. Honestly, I didn't think their run in WWE was terrible. I don't think much of them to begin with. I guess at the very least it should be a lateral move for them going to AEW. They aren't people I'd put under the list of people misused. They just are what they are.
Yeah, if Jim Cornette didn't outCAC himself, he would have been a perfect temporary manager for them in NWA.
