Raw started in 1993, but the last few years of Prime Time they were noticeably cutting back on the arena matches and focusing more on extended skits and showing matches from the other syndicated shows. Speaking of, with WWE improving the quality of their syndicated shows so quickly, I remember how jarring that was as a kid. All weekend I would watch this slick ass state of the art (for the time) production and then on Monday night I'd watch Bobby and Gorilla banter between matches from MSG that looked like they could have been from either 1986 or 1976 based on the quality.

Wrestling fans have always been appreciative of someone coming from outside the wrestling and actually performing well. So many celebrities have come in and were obvious in only being there for the check and taking it as a joke. Even if a celebrity kinda sucks but you can tell they really were into it and having fun (like the Johnny Knoxville stuff) people tend to give it a pass more or less. When a celeb comes in and not only took it seriously but actually ended up being good at it, they almost always get a big pop for that. It's actually even more impressive in a way that a guy who built his brand on being a douchebag took the time to train and take this WWE adventure of his seriously.

It should be noticed that the show was largely babyfaces going over, and one of the times heels won (the Usos) is probably leading to an angle with the Street Profits splitting. Makes for a much different feel to the show when it's not hours of heels making faces look like geeks for the all important HEAT.

Yeah there's at leash two giant video boards in that stadium.

Brock playing Jason Vorhees here is fucking great

Brock is amazing

Theory's mouth makes him look like a damn muppet.

I'm sure Mayor Kane and Ronda had a fun chat backstage about how school shootings are all false flags.

Ronda finally being heel like God intended is a good thing.

Looks like Io's main roster name is going to be IYO SKYE

Theory cashing in on either Brock or Roman, even if they beat each other to bloody piles of meat, would me more unbelievable than anything the Corny Cult complains about.

Logan Paul is magnitudes more well known than anyone in WWE.

Man, not having Double J come down that long ass ramp with his horse is an unforced error on WWE.

Per Dave, Logan wanted to be a babyface when he signed and WWE didn't want to rock the boat with a famous person who wanted to be there.

Pat has babyfaced Michael Cole so much that Corbin gets booed for shoving him. That's actually impressive.

Pat's another one who's amazingly good at this in a short period of time.

HAHAHA A CHORUS SINGING BUM ASS CORBIN

I love that they are going fully cornball with MMM.

Styles vs Not Tomasso should bang pretty hard.

It makes sense, she didn't fit in the new direction of NXT 2.0 and Vince didn't see her as main roster material. That obstacle is gone and the guy who was behind her biggest push is in charge of creative.

Daddy Paul is back!

If that's the only thing Hunter changes, it will make WWE 1000% better.

You're not wrong, but I'm thinking with Roman's new deal he may or may not be doing the Wales show.

I wonder if the plan is to belt Brock so Drew can get the big win in the UK?

Say what you will about the guy, but Heyman is absolutely working his ass off to get people excited about a match we've seen over and over for years.
