Raw Reunion Roster

Monday night on USA Network is supposed to be a big night for WWE. Monday night from Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay, World Wrestling Entertainment is getting together a huge collection of past superstars for a Raw Reunion. From what I;'m getting, this is a way for WWE to draw their audience back in to watch their programming again.

Below is the full list that's been announced to appear on Raw from Tampa tomorrow night:

Triple H
Melina
Jillian Hall
Eve Torres
Jonathan Coachman
Kaitlyn
Alicia Fox
Candice Michelle
Steve Austin
Hulk Hogan
Ric Flair
Shawn Michaels
Razor Ramon
Kevin Nash / Diesel
Kurt Angle
Sgt. Slaughter
Christian
Ted DiBiase
Eric Bischoff
The Boogeyman
Jimmy Hart
The Hurricane
Santino Marella
Jerry Lawler
D-Von Dudley
Booker T
X-Pac
Mark Henry
Mick Foley
Pat Patterson
Gerald Brisco
Lilian Garcia
Alundra Blayze
Kelly Kelly
Rikishi
Ron Simmons
The Godfather
Road Dogg
Sid

Some of the names on this list is pretty cool to see not going to lie. I know there's only three hours to be able to fill, but there's a couple of problems with this idea. First off, there's three big names from history that are absent: Trish Stratus, Lita and Bret Hart. All absent. Not sure why none of them are there, but I'm sure there's a good reason.

Also, this feels kind of random for having a reunion such as this. Don't get me wrong this seems like a cool concept, but it feels like it was just thrown together. It would make it more special if Raw was normally two hours. The three hour Raw's that have been going on regularly, I know have been done for sponsor build I get it. But still, when Raw would go to three hours it would feel more special.

As for doing it now, that's even more random. If this was say done after either Wrestlemania, or even, since we're in the middle of summer, wait till the Raw after Summerslam. That would have made perfect sense.

Part of the reason I think WWE is doing this is because the product has flat out sucked as of late. The only good thing from last week's Raw was the debut of the Fiend, Bray Wyatt's new character. That's it. What made me want to watch WWE when i was growing up was not only good wrestling in the ring, but great storytelling and less annoying characters. now it seems like WWE's writing staff is trying to force stuff on the fans instead of letting it happen naturally. Maybe I'm not looking at this deep enough, but I call it like I see it.

Still, here's hoping there's at least something entertaining coming out of this reunion tomorrow night~
