I’m wearing this in honor of the show tonight.



This was the episode of Raw hosted by Flavor Flav. A show that saw Randy Orton hitting Meat Loaf with the RKO, and William Regal showing off his mad rhymin’ skillz, yo.

I think im gonna toss my bitterness to the side for tonight. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show while cracking a few jokes on here. I'm ready for this show.

Action stage left! Action stage right! There is no place to run! All the fuses in the exit signs have been burnt out and there is only one straight and narrow pathway to the Royal Rumble and it deals with pain and destruction and recapturing the magic of Monday Night Raw for the last 25 years! YOU MEMBERS OF FAN WILL FEEL THAT PAIN, FEEL THAT POWER AT RAW 25 AS THE FANS CLAW AND SCRATCH ALL OVER THE BACK OF TRIPLE H AND TELL ME TO DO WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY RIGHT AND WRONGFULLY WRONG! Take the show BACK--take it back to Parts Unknown! LOAD THE SPACESHIP WITH THE ROCKET FUEL! LOAD IT WITH THE MEMES CREATED BY THE ANGER AND FRUSTRATION OF THE SHOW COMPARED TO YESTERYEAR! BECAUSE AFTER RAW 25, THE WWE UNIVERSE. WILL. BE. OUURRRRRRRRS!

[Allie Kitsune]

Yeah, it could never happen, but argh, if only somehow a deal could be worked out for LIJ to show up and wreck Jericho...

ASYLUMHAUSEN , I made yet another version of your Pennywise gif.

If any FANatics are going to the show, or will just be in NYC, check out the Empire State Building tonight. It’s turning red in honor of Raw.

I am so hyped for this show. I also went to the 15th Anniversary show and the surprise appearences made me feel like a little kid again. Can’t wait to see what surprises they have in store.

I remember being at the 15th anniversary show!! That was an absolute blast to be at, especially since I think my dad only knew who the battle royal entrants were, and Hogan

DELIGHTFUL

Tentatively looking forward to this. REALLY don't want it to be another "everyone from the past is better!" thing with old guys beating up new guys for nostalgia pops and then people saying how great it was for the new guy to have interacted with them.

My three favorite Raw matches of all time, by far, are

HBK & Austin vs. Bulldog & Owen - Tag Titles, May 1997

Two Man Power Trip vs. Jericho & Benoit - Tag Titles, May 2001

CM Punk vs. Cena - February 2013

The Dallas ten man tag from 2000 gets an honorable mention, though. The crowd was rabid for that one

Well, I have work tomorrow so won't be able to watch it live, gonna have to avoid Facebook and Twitter all day tomorrow.
