This was unbelivably AWESOME.

I had a big grin on my face just seeing this. Absolutely beautiful.

What's the purpose of it?

WWE put on an episode of Raw that was "old school". Had a bunch of veterans on from the early days of Monday Night Raw and they used the first theme but updated it with todays wrestlers. That was pretty cool.

You forgot to mention that they also had the original Raw set, apron, turnbuckle pads, and ring ropes, too.

I loved every minute of it. : D

I honestly thought there was a hell of a lot the WWE could learn for its regular programming from Monday night. Keep it simple, keep it about the wrestling product, and look, it works.

I absolutely loved the intro, loved the set, and really liked the little things like the interview area up near the stage. Its odd how much you miss things like that, but some of the great moments from when I started watching WWE had that backdrop of Mean Gene on that raised stage, with the excited crowd and the flashbulbs behind. It works so much better than yet another in-ring segment.

I'd love them to keep that RAW theme and intro for good. Never happen of course.

I'll have to watch that after work. Sounds pretty awesome.
