Merzbow Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 That Slamboree theme sounds very familiar, is it another of the infamous WCW rip-offs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The British Bushwacker Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 On the subject of legends matches/shows , i quite liked the 'Old School RAW' that they did a couple of times, old graphics, titantron etc and legends popping up in random matches and segments, you'd think with 3 hour RAWS they would have done more of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 If the Jannetty/Martel match had gone ahead as originally advertised, the Model would have faced the Rockers in singles at successive SummerSlams. I need new hobbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who doesn't watch Raw week to week, and haven't done so regularly for around 7 years now, I do miss the guest hosts. I know they were far from being universally popular, but I remember tuning in specially if there was someone interesting hosting the show, Bob Barker, Jesse Ventura, Piper etc spring to mind.

The King Of Swing Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 One of my favourite random facts, is that Brutus Beefcake and The Honky Tonk Man were on opposing teams three years in a row at Survivor Series. 87, 88 and 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted August 2, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2017 Meanwhile Davey Boy Smith and Warlord faced off at all five PPVs in 1991 (first guy Warlord went after in the Rumble, singles at WrestleMania, six-man at SummerSlam, opposing team at Survivor Series, singles at This Tuesday In Texas.)

Jesse Ventura as guest host was one of my favourite episodes of RAW in years - I was gutted they never went anywhere with his suggestion that there was a conspiracy in WWE to keep John Cena on top; I must have fantasy booked about two years' worth of TV off the back of that! In 2009 Jesse said there was a conspiracy to keep Cena as champion; in subsequent years you got R-Truth going full conspiracy theorist, CM Punk doing "shoot" promos about worthy talent being held back, Daniel Bryan's angle against the Authority, and Bray Wyatt talking about "the machine" and so on. Imagine if they had kept Jesse in their good books as a semi-regular guest, and managed to tie all of that together, would have been brilliant. Or a convoluted mess.

Oddly (or perhaps not), they were then placed as numerically far apart in the subsequent Royal Rumble as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventura was the best guest host of Raw by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted August 3, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Guest host time was probably the last period I watched frequently. Bob Barker was my favourite too. Always remember though, for every Jesse Ventura or Bob Barker, there was a Jeremy Piven... Edited August 3, 2017 by Gus Mears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
