Still sounds to me like shit writers are to blame. That's my thought process. In fact, I should be ashamed of myself for even thinking that this might be a good RAW. Even for an Anniversary Show, I should've known it was gonna be shit. |

Even for an Anniversary Show, I should've known it was gonna be shit. To be fair, even WWE should've been able to put on a 3-hour show celebrating the past 25 years with the amount of legends they were advertising. Like, the bar was set so low, they really had to try to still fail. |

I was just going to bring him up. Wasn’t he supposed to be there? I thought he was. He was the perfect choice for MAC for Raw 25. He was there for Raw 1. Sad. They wouldn't let him out of the warehouse |

Fallon would have corpsed so much that the ghost of Randy Savage would have somehow made his way into the segments.

If only they had a locker room full of talent who would have been more than happy to be involved in segments with their idols.

If Fallon had refused to take part, then blame him. Being late/delayed can happen to anyone, and he was probably pissed at making the journey to then only sit in the crowd for the night, and then have his only role to be staring blankly at Elias Sampson.
Creative deciding the only thing these stars can do is come out and wave is unforgivable.

Why not just use Cole?
His commentary may be awful but he is really good when he does interviews.

Yeah, this is shit writers at work. Just because the overrated talk show host couldn't make it doesn't mean someone else couldn't be slotted in. Isn't that what they have 40 billion interchangeable brunette interviewers for?

It should have been a dejected Vince grumbling and complaining to himself walking through the building after his Stunnering. He'd come across these legends hoping they'd cheer him up and instead they'd ridicule him for some stupid thing he did in the past. So he could come up to Torrie Wilson, a smile breaks across his face, and says "HEY TORRIE, REMEMBER MR. MAC DADDY?!?!?" and she could point out how that ended for him. He could stumble into the poker game and lose his shirt(literally). Maybe the last one he runs into is Bischoff and they finally have their brawl out into the street, with the cops arresting them both. This would've been incredible. Of course, an idea like that would assume that WWE's wrestling writers had, you know, watched wrestling before. |

Publicly fire every single writer on TV, use their full name. A bunch of lower tier writing trash. And then Vince retires in shame for his last 15 years of failure. His daughter joins him in societal exile for the rest of their lives. Aw shit, middle name too? That's when you know it's serious. |

Fallon was supposed to be doing a bunch of stuff with the Legends......
So you're saying the show could have been worse.

This isn't on Jimmy Fallon.
It's not even on the writers/creative.
The blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the one man with the power to approve or deny every creative idea, and who is notorious for chaotically rewriting shows in a rage minutes before they go live.

Vince's ghost is going to write and then rewrite his own God damn funeral and then make angry faces the whole time because he's still not satisfied with it. Then the minister will refer to him as a wrestling promoter and he'll haunt the shit out of him. |
