Is anyone else completely disappointed that they are having an old school Raw four weeks before Wrestlemania? Stupid. They are going to march out the same old old-school guys...I wonder who is going to beat up Sgt. Slaughter this week.

I didn't know they were doing that.

Gotta say I'd love to see Undertaker come out in his original drab black and gray duds for nostalgia's sake.

I'd actually like to see them do a nostalgia match at Wrestlemania each year, assuming they have people available to do it. It'd fill in like 3 minutes of match time, give their older fans some fun memories, and be a talking point akin to surprise Royal Rumble entrants.

Now, if the whole night is to bring back UT with his old garb...that would be worthwhile.

I must admit watching Cena destroy Dwayne week after week last year leading up to Wrestlemania was extremely entertaining. Hopefully he does it again this year.

im definitely most pro cena compared to this thread, but that was a cool segment and even better that it was vs dwayne.

it always amuses me how badly the wwe limits otherwise incredibly talented mic workers/intriguing characters

cena when they just let him tear apart rock (which helps that they legitimately dislike each other)
batista's final run when they just let him do whatever since he was gone anyway
ditto for punk

i will never be convinced that pg wwe is a good thing. actually give these guys an inch and they will take it 100 miles

It's more an indictment of the fact that they script every promo now vs. before when they let the workers write their own stuff and just gave them general direction. Give workers more creative control over their promos and they're far more likely to spring some genius on us than writers who are trying to cram the workers into a specific box.

Well fair enough, but you don't have to completely neuter the performer. The worker running the stuff he's written by someone before taking it to air would solve that problem.

Can't prevent him from going off-script and doing something offensive obviously, but that's already the case with the current system.

Since when do Cena and Rock not like each other? I got the impression they had a lot of respect for one another. I guess that's pretty mutually exclusive from liking one another though.

Assuming we're getting a Taker appearance tonight, which seems a near-lock, I hope they do a lights-out swerve where everyone thinks its Shield instead. Surely they can't pass up that opportunity.

It was pretty much spoiled last week when they showed the video.

and clearly Cena and the other untouchables are allowed to go off the script. i find it hard to believe his rambling promo that led to blowup doll jokes not long ago was written for him.
