RAW 25 was subpar. They didn’t put the show together right. Everything felt forced and the show at the Manhattan Center got shit on for being shitty overall. It felt shitty.
The DX shit was dead. HBK and Pac looked loopy.
The brawl at the end was cool but felt like it abruptly ended for the fuck of it. Braun should’ve beat the shit outta everyone there. It needed a RAW 25 moment rather than relying on shitty promos w old guys in it.
Matt Hardy’s character feels dead. The crowd doesn’t react besides that delete chant. Which sucks. It’s the only reason they wanted it, they don’t care about the actual character. Lame shit. I enjoy the character but feel it’s gonna die soon if this continues.
Taker’s speech was a retirement speech, right? It had no reason to ever happen. It was unnecessary filler, weak filler.
No Rock, no Hogan.. they were essential for that RAW 25 IMO.
I don’t criticize the WWE often because it’s just how wrestling gets but for a RAW 25th Anniversary, that was very weak.
It was as basic as old school night.
