WWE RAW Legends Night Special Announced
"WWE has announced that the first RAW of 2021 will be Legends Night.
It was announced tonight that the January 4 RAW show will be Legends Night on the USA Network.
WWE named several Hall of Famers for the special episode - Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Torrie Wilson, and Beth Phoenix."
What do you think of the Legends special? Is this just a ratings ploy after disastrous ratings lately? I'm curious to see if they bring in all these people live to the Thunderdome or do virtual appearances.

ratings ploy just like the last time they had the legends on --- and just like last time when the legends drew a good rating they'll have an otherwise shit show with nothing of interest on it to hook the people who watch to see the legends to tune in next week

This is a terrible idea mainly for two reasons: covid exposure for high risk individuals and it is ineffective without a live audience.

I had no interest in watching Raw prior to this announcement. I have negative interest in watching it now.

Maybe Kurt Angle will crack the case regarding Miz's rights to regain the MITB briefcase

It's been way too long since we've seen Ric Flair and Big Show on WWE television.

If there's one thing TLC missed, it was the Big Show's comically oversized ladder.

Spoiler, they put on an awful show, get a ratings bump, and everyone who tuned in for it tunes out the next week.

Ah yes, the age old solution to ratings woes
"HEY EVERYONE, REMEMBER HOW COOL WE USED TO BE? WE KNOW WE SUCK NOW, AND NO ONE IS WATCHING, AND WE'RE NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING TO FIX THAT... BUT HEY, WANNA REMEMBER WITH US??"
Grade A shit, they really don't get it.
Also, just a little something funny, some people were shitting on Sting's debut saying they "Needed an old star to pop a rating", well WWE are shitting themselves in the ratings, and now they're throwing the legends at the wall... irony is fun.

Carlito being on the list is fascinating to me, but yeah having a bunch of high risk people travel around the time we know the pandemic is going to be at its Christmas peak is a dumb idea.

This is a terrible idea mainly for two reasons: covid exposure for high risk individuals and it is ineffective without a live audience. And the latter really works to make the former seem even f***ing worse. This is a huge and dangerous risk to be taking for people, and it's all to achieve the grand total of a show that won't even have the impact because there's no crowd to play to, when all these people can do anymore is pop a crowd. It's like WWE doesn't even know why they put on legends shows anymore and this is being done out of habit.

Melina and Alica Fox under the same roof. Are you guys thinking what I’m thinking...
That the term “Legend “ is being thrown around rather loosely?

Oh boy, Raw Legends Night! I look forward to seeing a senior citizen make a full-time roster member look like shit.

My only hope is that Carlito returns full-time like MVP and Shelton did so we continue the mid 2000s resurgence.
