They should start at the Manhattan Centre with this set then go over to Barclays for a segment and change the set at MC to te Big Red Letter set, then over to BC for the next set, and keep changing throughout the night with the relevant guys turning up throughout the night.

It sounds like the 1st hour might be at Manhattan Center and the rest of the show at Barclays maybe?
Shawn Michaels was on ESPN and teased a huge announcement tongight...slik speculates it is one of the following 1. Vince steps down from WWE and announces his football league 2. Vince announces his football league 3. WrestleMania 35 is announced for NYC (my guess is still Citi Field in Queens to host) |

I want a battle royal filled with legends/characters from the past like they did on the Raw 15th Anniversary show. Maybe have the winner get a spot in the Rumble or something.

It feels alright not having Hogan appear or be advertised, he doesn't really have any memorable moments on RAW, not anything from my memory banks.

The only Hogan Raw moment that springs to mind was Hogan and Rock challenging each other for Mania. But the match itself was the part everyone remembers.
Beyond that, he was on the SmackDown brand in 2002 and 2003. |

Yeah, in the early 2000s it was a weird time, but in the 90s I can't recall if he fought Yokozuna or Giant Gonzales on RAW, don't really remember him being a big part. HBK and Bret Hart were kind of showcased. |

Been watching Raw from the beginning for the past few nights. After Rob Bartlett leaves and Bobby Heenan takes his place on commentary he starts doing this thing where mid-match the camera cuts to him with a television on top of his monitor and a remote in his hand as he channel surfs and Vince starts yelling at him to stop. It's so fucking random it's hilarious.

Also, Rob Bartlett appearance at Manhattan Center is a MUST.

Bartlett's commentary aged so poorly. I mean I don't think anybody thought it was good anyway since he didn't last long but there's so much blatant racism lol.

From what I can tell Hogan had 8 matches on Raw in its entire history. Obviously made more appearances but it’s a drop in the ocean in the history of the show.

Going back to rewatch those early RAWs, never thought a Johnny Polo would become Raven. Excellent work by that man

Outside his big return and the Mania feud with the Rock, only other memorable RAW moment of Hogan I have is the time Undertaker dragged him around backstage on a motorcycle.
Goldberg barely had a WWE career and he was on RAW way longer than Hogan ever was. |

Also, they definitely realized it was a bad idea very early on. Just a few episodes in they started going really gimmicky with him. Including having him do an entire episode pretending to be Elvis. |

If I get a dual monitor set-up I'm totally gonna run Raw and Nitro from the same night side by side. I actually tried it with two browsers on one monitor but it's a bit clunky.

Hogan saved Brother Bruti after that no-good Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase smashed his face with IRS's briefcase, brotherjackdude. Brother Bruti had just had reconstructive surgery too, jack.
This led to Hulk Hogan/Brutus Beefcake vs Money Inc at WrestleMania IX and eventually Hogan winning the title out of nowhere, dude. |

Rob Bartlett was basically Bobby Heenan if Heenan had no wrestling knowledge, very little charisma, didn't care about his job and wasn't funny but still tried to do exactly what Heenan did.
