[Pulp Fiction]

Jonathan Coachman, Brother Love, the Brooklyn Brawler, Harvey Wippleman, Teddy Long and the Boogeyman all were lumped in to one very short segment.

Brother Love received the 2nd loudest Pop only behind Stone Cold. Brother Love should have had his own segment of the Brother Love show.

The poker game with the APA, Ted DiBaise and the other people they weren't sure what to do with seemed like a last-second idea.

Jericho was cheated of screen time as well.

The tag team match was nothing more than to set up the Dudley Boyz and a table spot.

Reigns vs. The Miz was terrible as well. No reason this should have been on Raw 25.

The ending was terrible as well. We get it, WWE.... you're making Braun in to a unstoppable force.

Well... let's go ahead and rip this one to shreds lol

Jonathan Coachman, Brother Love, the Brooklyn Brawler, Harvey Wippleman, Teddy Long and the Boogeyman all were lumped in to one very short segment.

How many segments do those guys deserve?

Brother Love received the 2nd loudest Pop only behind Stone Cold. Brother Love should have had his own segment of the Brother Love show.

Brother Love only got a pop because it was a "smark" crowd and Prichard is over with that audience because of the podcast. WWE already has those people's money because they bought tickets. To most people watching at home, they probably don't know Brother Love. We all do on here and we know Prichard's contributions to WWF, but you always have to be looking for NEW customers.

The poker game with the APA, Ted DiBaise and the other people they weren't sure what to do with seemed like a last-second idea.

What else are they going to do with APA? They basically played poker every week when they were a team. They built that segment for the nostalgia of those guys, getting Ted Dibiase on there and getting a pop for the Dudleys as they take advantage of Heath Slater. That's Heath's job, be stupid, funny and lose.

Jericho was cheated of screen time as well.

I'm sure they don't want to give Jericho more screentime since he's doing this indy wrestling deal with his cruise and working in New Japan. That's competition and it's surprising they honestly let him do anything, let alone in that NJPW shirt.

The tag team match was nothing more than to set up the Dudley Boyz and a table spot.

Already covered this, but what else would you do with the Dudleys?

Reigns vs. The Miz was terrible as well. No reason this should have been on Raw 25.

First of all, it was a good match. But they had an IC title change on live TV and they took advantage of the hot crowd. Those guys wanted to see Roman lose and Miz got plenty of heat. I think Miz is one of the best things going and notice they had him enter right after Daniel Bryan. If Bryan gets cleared, which he's trying to do, I think they've sewn the seeds of a great match at a huge PPV between those two.

The ending was terrible as well. We get it, WWE.... you're making Braun in to a unstoppable force.

Yes, WE get it. But there are folks watching this who had no idea who Braun Strowman was and they saw him lay out Brock Lesnar.

I think this was a pretty good piece of business.

Had the show opened with the nWo driving up in their own Jeep like DX did and setting the stage for a Monday night wars type of showdown throughout the program, fans of a certain age would have Marked out like no other.

All of the Legends that were brought back deserved ring time. Not a short backstage segment. I realize some of those guys may have not been able to do anything physical in the ring, but they deserved to walk down the ramp and be seen in the ring. Not on a video board.

The Brooklyn Brawler deserved to 'Job' to somebody on Raw. Somebody on the main roster would have been the best.
Having Harvey Wippleman as his manager would have killed two birds with one stone.
The Boogeyman appearance during this segment was about as good as expected.

Brother Love doing a segment with his old 1980's TV preacher set would have been the best thing since..... well, You Know. #DootDootDoot

The APA's poker game, IMO, was good, but not the best way they could have been used. The crowd would have been happier seeing a 'Clothesline from hell'.

The Undertaker should have come out in his grey's with his original theme. This would have been the spot for an NXT talent to get smashed by the Phenom. This would have been much better than his odd segment.

The Bray Wyatt vs. Matt Hardy was so bad. JR and The king deserved to call a match with a legend. Raw 25 is a milestone. Why waste air time on a match we will probably see 4-5 more times this year.

Introducing the Divas was great, they deserved to be recognized... but having the Godfather come out after they were introduced and saying his famous "Pimpin' ain't easy" line and dancing with the ladies would have been such a memory from the Attitude era.

Ted DiBiase pulling a little kid (a plant) out of the crowd and doing the "I'll give you $100 dollars to bounce a ball 10 times in a row" gimmick would have been so great. Let the kid get to the 9th bounce and kick the ball away.... best Heel move, ever.

I can get by with Jericho's short screen time, but The List should have made more than one appearance.

The tag match could have been used to get the APA a match and let the Dudley Boyz do their thing as well.

I'm sticking to my guns on the IC title match. Reigns vs. The Miz was terrible timing, Raw 25 wasn't the place for it.

Kane, Lesnar & Strowman did deserve a segment, but not the ending and not the way it went down.

Like I said earlier, The Rock & Mick Foley's "This is your life" would have been the best segment of the show. Replace the Peep show segment..... IMO, this would have made the show. (Yes, I know the Rock wasn't available.)

The ending should have been DX vs. the nWo finally settling the Monday night wars like it should have been done. When legends put the new guy over, they do it by going out on their back. The 2001 Invasion angle was so bad. VKM could have got the big names from WCW to come to this show unlike in 2001 when most of the big names were under contract with Turner. Let DX & the nWo fight it out, then show DX helping the nWo up and giving the fans a closing scene of DX & the nWo in the ring together with the Monday night wars finally settled the way it should have been done.


Raw 25 wasn't the night to advance current storylines. This was a night for us fans in the 25-50 year old range. Some may be younger or older, but this was for the those of us that watched the WWF on Saturday mornings and flipped back and forth between USA & TNT on Monday nights. There will be plenty more shows for the current talent.
