Remember when a blizzard forced them to cancel a RAW event but they still had an episode full of sit down interviews and backstage segments?
I wish they would do something like that once a year. That particular episode was during the Mania build but I feel like a format like that can help move story lines along while also giving the wrestlers a day off from in ring action.
Sure it may not be everyone's cup of tea but I did like how different it was and think it's something that could work once a year

It was a nice change for once but I would not make it a yearly thing.

This was the night after the 2015 Royal Rumble, right? Talk about your dodged bullets... Reigns may have had to dodge them literally if they had a proper show that night with all the anger and resentment in the air.

Definitely shouldn't be a regular thing, but it was such a different and interesting episode that it's no surprise they proceeded to take zero cues from it moving forward.

I loved how it broke up the monotony of the usual show and forced them to do something fresh and interesting.

I was pretty bummed out cause I had really good seats for this show, and instead we had our tix moved to a so-so Smackdown instead.

And people give Nitro gyp when it only featured on hour of non wrestling segments.
As if the idea could never work.

Refresh my memory, please. Wasn't that Raw supposed to be in Boston? The year that we got absolutely annihilated by multiple blizzards?

I 'member the conspiracy theories that the producers were feeding Reigns his lines, but I don't know if that was true.

This was the show where Dean was wandering around trying to get somewhere right?
I loved this show if I'm remembering correctly.
Or was that the Iceland Volcano show?

I didn't remember this, and then realized here that it was the night after Rumble '15.......which is when I finally made the break. So I wouldn't have remembered this. lol

It led to one of my favorite Ambrose moments. Seeing how its Dean, I can also believe that all of this stuff actually happened.
