As noted, WWE has announced a special RAW Reunion episode for July 22 from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. WWE is billing this as the biggest Reunion in history. The reunion special was suggested to WWE by the USA Network, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. It was recently reported that USA officials suggested several ideas to WWE as they have been disappointed with the ratings for RAW and SmackDown. One of the ideas was the WWE 24/7 Title and another was this RAW Reunion episode. WWE's promo for the reunion special listed several Legends and Hall of Famers. Meltzer noted that there was talk within WWE of there being 35 or more stars booked for the special, but that wasn't confirmed. It was also noted that the USA Network suggested names to be brought back for the reunion, but there's no word yet on who else they suggested. www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/07/usa-network-reportedly-suggests-raw-reunion-special-656376/

It would make sense that USA Network executives love Sgt. Slaughter, I suppose.

WWE wants a clean slate for Heyman and Eric? Well here's the show to do it: Everything, EVERYTHING over the past few years has been a plot by Ted Dibiase. He used his wealth and influence to push the business into a direction he liked. Why? A gentleman's bet with JBL for 1 Dollar.

At least for me loading Raw with legends has the exact opposite result - these nostalgia shows are always total trash so I'm keeping well away from this one.

Apparently he's been MrElijah all along.

Greg Valentine, Jim Duggan and Sgt. Slaughter. Yay, I was totally watching when these guys were active in their heyday and will be nostalgic. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}No I wasn't and no I wont. If Slaughter was his Commissioner self, maybe.

Over/under on the number of inauthentic guffaws Cole gets out over the course of the entire show any time a legend says their catchphrase or does a signature spot?

I noticed D-Von was among the legends advertised for the show, but clearly Bubba is too busy intimidating Ring of Honor fans into not booing his wife.
Please be Reverend D-Von. Please be Reverend D-Von. Please be Reverend D-Von. Please be Reverend D-Von. Please be Reverend D-Von. Please be Reverend D-Von.

Cole: HA HA HA and that right there is a VINTAGE display of why WWE legends are so beloved here by the WWE Universe! Graves: That's right Cole and this is what it's all about. Renee: oh Cole: HA HA HA YEAH!

It’s almost like devaluing 95% of your roster, for over a decade, can come back to bite you. And all you’re left with is going back to the arid well of thes stars of yesteryear.
