Dont think so, he just had reconstructive knee surgery, but he did post on instagram i think it was, that he'd see everybody at Mania

Nash was just looking for a private jet to get there, he's not getting it so he's sulking.

He's such a worker

Well he's been publically announced as being there so he's clearly pulling a stunt.

He's probably worried the less leg room will cause him to tear a quad.

Lord TSC

omg Kevin Nash wtf thought he was dead lol

HandsomeBob

I really miss Punk.

WWE put up the Ruthless Aggression Raw theme but with "New Era" superstars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vijK9nA824U

Jerichoholic

This was my favorite Raw theme, better than the lame emo metal themes and obviously Nickleback.

On second viewing it is cheesy as ****, reminds me of better times though.

Will the "Huckster" be there?

Jerichoholic

The Huckster wants to be in the Bullet Club.

demanufactured

Wonder if Buff Bagwel will be let into the building?

Agent Coulson

I want to see Gillberg vs Goldberg.

Agent Coulson

We need Corny giving his State of Address on modern wrestling.

Yes!!

Wwe seemed to put the intro to this weeks Raw up on YouTube briefly, before pulling it. But this is the Internet so it's out there now

https://streamable.com/kz6bx

Put aside three minutes and watch cause it's a nostalgia feast.

Rock Lesnar

Im old enough to have watched raw from the start, i remember been shocked at the time when Razor Ramon got beat by the 123 Kid as i was a big Razor fan at the time, Austin and the beer truck was obviously great but my favourite episode is when Austin turned up at Pillmans house, that was just something else, the intensity of both lads just made the angle seem so realistic

I remember all these angles vividly also! Looking forward to Raw now

WWE really know how to put together a video package. That was awesome.

Jesus Nostalgia overload.

I wish there creative was as good as there video production people.

SureYWouldntYa

Video packages have been a serious strong point with WWE for years

Watch the Daniel Bryan "Monster" one about once a week

One thing WWE don't do anymore is proper titantrons for people and it's a pity, it's usually just a simple graphic with their name/logo/catchphrase

CastorTroy

Do you think we'll get something for the benefit of those with flash photography?

irish_stevo815

2 great video packages by the E there.

Would be kinda fitting if Taker actually makes his final appearance at Raw 25 (except for his HOF entry), being that he was there for the very first Raw.

Speaking of HOF, surely Goldberg is the marquee entry this year, meaning Taker won't be goin in this year??

Jerichoholic

That intro is all kinds of great. Had to laugh at Stephanie being in it with the Women's Revolution though, as if it's just as big as Austin/Tyson.

Agent Coulson

What kind of shape is Neidhart in these days would he be ok to make a public appearance?


It would be a shame if RAW 25 doesn't have at least one of the surviving members of The Hart Foundation on it.

PTH2009

looking forward to raw 25 and aim to stay up for it all

I knw lots of people are agaisnt it but I'd be happy if they set up Cena vs Taker but I'm getting my hopes too much and taker will announce his retirement instead

going to be nostalgia overload 2mprrpw

Well according to edge on his podcast this week he won't be there as he's coming back to Ireland to film Vikings again. Christian didn't say one way or the other.

I think Christian was added to the list of legends returning last week so he should be there.

Lord TSC

I am wondering/hoping if there'll be a Legends Battle Royal, or something like that. A "match" where they can have a load of legends appear, like the one they did at Raw 1000.

Well I don't know when the podcast was recorded so maybe he didn't want to say it before it was official.

Well Jim was never in great shape physically.

Itssoeasy

On the app WWE are really stretching the meaning of the word legend with some of the names that will be on raw.

Jerichoholic

Jim would be up for the crack alright.

Hococop

**** it let's give the shiek some air time haha

Rock Lesnar

I think some legend is gonna meet Strowman, i just hope its not Austin, i know they done it a few years back, but i would like to see Jesse Ventura and Vince do commentary again.

I also want to see plenty of stunners to

Neil3030

So that's

Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Ric Flair, DX (Triple H & Shawn Michaels), The Dudley Boys, Scott Hall & Kevin Nash, Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler, Nikki & Brie Bella, The New Age Outlaws, JBL & Ron Simmons, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, The Godfather, Brother Love, The Boogeyman, Teddy Long, John Laurinaitis, Sgt. Slaughter, Jacqueline Moore, Torrie Wilson, Terri Runnels, Maria Kanellis, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly, Chris Jericho, Eric Bischoff and Jeff Hardy

.....

....who have to make Roman look really really strong... :pac:

PTH2009

i imagine a heel tag team will be attacked by the APA and/or Dudley boyz

DX will have a comedy segment, same with Godfather, brother love

Taker will have his few mins, same with Cena

Possibly not many matches on the show

apparently https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/wwe-raw-25-expected-bigger-post-wrestlemania-episode

Jerichoholic

Ron Simmons will say "Damn", and it still won't be funny.

I'm assuming most of these legends are just going to be involved in someone cringe party segment backstage, where Ron is going to sign the thing off with a damn. Awful.

ShagNastii

With Bruce Prichard's current appeal he could get a lot of time. Will we see an actual Brother Love show/segment?

Im gonna guess that will be The Revival :mad::mad::mad:

Rock Lesnar

I can see strowman running through legends, next thing, he's standing over good old JR, glass shatters, oh hell yeah, here he comes with the bmf walk, strowman knocks him down, and is ready to destroy him :mad:, but wait, break it down, its DX, they storm the ring and take Strowman out with all their finishers, that finishes with a pedigree, and Triple H stands tall as we go off the air

ShagNastii

Find it hard to buy into the APA since their prime in the Attitude Era.

Simmons has been milking a really lame gimmick and catchphrase anytime he has appeared in the last decade. That, and JBL really isn't APA Bradshaw if you catch my drift. If JBL is making a significant appearance it should be as rich 'murican John Bradshaw Layfield.

While Ted DiBiase laughs and Hacksaw Jim Duggan goes HOOOO! Which then leads to Godfather showing up and then Teddy Long dances with the 'Ho Train' before Sgt. Slaughter says "pipe down maggots" to probably canned laughter while I hope they get paid for turning up to do a 30 second skit.

The Nal

We're basically looking at a 3hr version of the gimmick battle royal

Had they done a gimmick Royal Rumble I'd watch it out of a morbid curiosity

Yeah, this will definitely happen unfortunately. Same every time.

I know his podcast is popular but can't see Prichard getting much air time. I'd say he'll be involved in something like the segment mentioned above.

I hope they don't make a fool of Bischoff in some segment. Forget all the WCW stuff, he was the best Raw GM in history for me. Please keep Stephanie away from him.

Agent Coulson

To be honest I would not be surprised at all if the only air time Prichard gets is the white suit been shown on tv.
