Tonight is Old School Raw. They'll have the retro Raw entrance, graphics, ring aprons, and awful announcer jackets. They'll bring back all of the usual legends including Ric Flair, Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, IRS, Rikishi, Scotty 2 Hotty, Roddy Piper, Mean Gene Okerland, DDP, Booker T, New Age Outlaws, Roddy Piper, and Bob Backlund.
The Big news about Old School Raw is that Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will be on Raw again. They are teasing that he will lay out one of the legends. You would think Ric Flair, but I'm not sure how much physical damage he can take. Brock needs to take out a loved character in order for it to really get over, otherwise Brock will probably get cheered. I could see him taking out Rikishi just for the power spot, but I don't think people will really care if Brock destroys Rikishi.
Last week Stephanie announced a straight one on one match between Randy Orton and John Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Only it's not a straight match, it's a "there must be a winner via pinfall or submission" match which means No DQ, No Countout, No Holds Barred. Whatever. I have no interest in seeing these two wrestle again, but I am interested to see how they book themselves out of this. It doesn't seem that Cena will win the title, but I can't see Orton beating him two straight times.
Daniel Bryan joined The Wyatt Family last week in a move that doesn't really make sense. Over the weekend at house shows, Daniel Bryan debuted as Daniel Wyatt dressed up like Duke The Dumpster Drose. Is Bryan actually turning heel, or is this a way to destroy The Wyatt Family? I'll give it a few more weeks to see where they're going with this before I make a judgment on the angle.
Will we continue to see the cracks form in The Shield? There was a report in this week's Observer that if/when Roman Reigns leaves The Shield, they may add.... MASON RYAN as the new member. I really hope this doesn't happen.
2014 NTWT PREDICTIONS!!!
(Still working on the results of the 2013 predictions. They will be posted shortly.)
- Predictions may be made over the next two weeks. You can make your predictions until Sunday, January 19.
- Each person may make up to SIX predictions. If you make more than six, I will only count your first six.
- Your prediction MUST be specific and able to have a clear Yes or No result. For example:
- Good Prediction: Roman Reigns will hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship twice in 2014.
- Bad Prediction: Roman Reigns will have very good matches in 2014.
- Good Prediction: Brock Lesnar will defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
- Bad Prediction: Brock Lesnar will not be on TV full time in 2014.
- Good Prediction: Jeff Jarrett will buy TNA in 2014.
- Bad Prediction: Impact will average under a 1.0 rating in 2014 (I'm not going back and looking up the ratings for every single episode of Impact for the year).
- THINK ABOUT IT. If your prediction can't have a clear YES or NO answer, come up with a different prediction.
- Go out a limb! Predicting John Cena will win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2014 is a boring prediction. Predicting Samuray del Sol has been signed to WWE (according to Superluchas) and will win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2014 is a bold prediction.
