Best use of legends on Raw?

[Lizuka #BLM]

I think by far the most fun bit was the DX / Angle stuff, but there was really no need at all for the tag match it led into, especially with them so strapped for time.

Though I enjoyed how homoerotic that Undertaker bit came off.

I just realized - was Madusa the only woman they could find for this?

Probably the Taker-L.A Knight-Bray segment. Knight so easily belongs in the same sphere as a WWE legend and current main eventer (who’s stealing the show in his current feud btw) and Vince relegated to him to a third rate managerial position. Just ridiculous. Lord knows how many others over the years fell into the same unfortunate pit.

But I loved the DX segment. Legitimately funny and had me cackling.

DX/Kurt Angle & Imperium was the best use. Hilarious and didn't end with DX beating up on Imperium.

American Badass was cool for me since I'm a big Taker fan but the best usage of the legends tonight has to be the DX/Angle segment with Imperium.  That was just so much fun and it was cool seeing Teddy again.

That was a better use of legends across the whole show than we’ve seen before, outside of the usual comedy poker game. They didn’t bury any current talent either, which is a complaint a lot of people tend to have.

Teddy with a Scott Steiner goatee was life-changing

I wasn't sure about the DX segment at first, they have done this like 5 times now, but they managed to pull a twist with it involving Angle, backing down from a fight in a funny way that was self-depreciating, and focusing it on the modern talent by the end. That was great. The Godfather and Ron Simmons getting bribed to open their wall-less door for Corbin/JBL was funny. Alundra putting her women's belt on the gambling table was a good gag, as well.

Felt they'd definitely learnt a bit of a lesson with the DX bit after what happened with The Revival.

It was a notable change that the legends were there to put over the current generation. Flair was there to put over his daughter, Taker was there to give kudos to Bray, and DX were there to admit Imperium would murder them and back Seth Rollins and the Profits.

[Ben Wyatt]

The Road Dogg's "Well, I'll tell you what...aw who am I kidding?" before slinking away had me rolling.

Outside of Trish and Lita, she is about the only woman fans might recognize as “legendary.” You can argue for Ivory or Victoria but I don’t think the legacies are comparable. Was it really do long ago that there was buzz of Bull Nakano going into the HOF?

I mean if the likes of IRS qualifies as a legend for the men, that opens up the door to dozens of women to come in as legends.

The DX/Angle/Imperium/Rollins/Profits/Teddy segment by default but man that segment felt like it went on forever.
