Does Old School have to be the really Old School guys or can it not include the stars of the AE? 90′s is probably old school at this point in time now :/

Also I’ll probably get lots of hate for this but I am in no way shape or form interested in seeing Hacksaw on TV…ever.

The only Old School names I would really like to see at this point would be Mean Gene and Howard Finkel, with JR as a must for calling some matches. The legends are fine, but they should be used sparingly and not take time away from current talent who are already struggling to get even a brief appearance on RAW.

Does this mean Vince is going to be back on commentary for one night?

  Whoever called the last one is most likely, I can’t remember who did off the top of my head, JR, King and Cole I presume

Same old another year, cant they bring in legends as havent seen instead of the same old has been legends with stupid comedy acts they waste backstage in a 5 min segment/promo when they can show the future stars in matches!!!
How many times has rick flair appeared on tv in the past 6 months….all he does is scream down the mic…..
This should be a once in a blue moon show and thus should have legends we havent seen in many years…..

YOUR WELCOME

  Oh no not another person crying about the future stars not getting attention. I am so sick of hearing it who cares if you dont like it nobody is forcing you to watch it and on a side note if the young talent could perform half as good as the old school crew there wouldnt be such a big diffarence in the ratings from now to back then the fact is the majority of the wrestlers are just happy getting their pay check they dont have the passion that the old school had

    Errrr no…… If VInce dropped the stupid PG-13 and kept the same TV-14 or whatever it was before the same and hired some decent writers that actually write up storylines that freaking make sense then the wrestlers of today would just be as good as old school wrestlers.
    The wrestlers only get told what the creative and vince says they have to do. If it was the other way around, we would be saying blood, swearing, top storylines and moves that arent banned each other week.
    
    The fact that I would rather see a 10 min decent match between two mid or lower card wrestler then hear another boring Pipers pit the same old same old which is 20 years old
    
    Or even Rick Flair screaming down the mic as if we dont get that anyway every time we see him……..I would much rather see him as a manager
    
    Bring back DDP again, bring back Ricky steamboat, bring back austin, bring back lita or trish, bring back HBK or Edge anyday! Not in a match but in a segment even!
    - sir-rusty82
      
      Dont you think they would have Edge, HBK etc even Stone Cold acting like his to good for the WWE universe (I find it ironic that the Rock stayed away now Stone Cold is) you wanna talk about facts why do people hate on the retired wrestlers that still have the love for the company and show up and you love all the wrestlers that have left and never looked back and only come back for the $$$ enjoy what you get and stop watching it if you hate it that much because you cant blame everything on Vince do you want him to kidnap old wrestlers just to make you happy

New Age Outlaws will prob be on show since Road Dogg and billy Gunn work for WWE and are bff with Trips.

Well the WWE doing the old school at first after a ppv in a popular home town such as charlotte, michigan, or Chicago now it’s being use a show itself I think it’s a bit much, but hey the WWE does good with it. I was told they was use to slow down the paste give a small rest to storyline and wrestlers now its a show on its own (never a salute) vince can turn anything to gold.

How can you have old school without Stone Cold?
