More on “Raw Reunion”

As mentioned, WWE announced last night that the July 22 episode of Raw will be called “Raw Reunion” and will feature several WWE legends, including Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and several more.

Here’s the full list of wrestlers who were named in the promo: Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Diesel, Kurt Angle, Sgt. Slaughter, Christian, Ted DiBiase, Eric Bischoff, Boogeyman, Jimmy Hart, The Hurricane, Santino Marella, Jerry Lawler, D-Von Dudley.

And it sounds like there will be lots more added to that list. Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that he asked his sources if several specific names would be at the show and was told “yes” for pretty much all of them (other than The Rock), then he was told to add about 35 more names, so it looks like WWE is going to try to pack as many past superstars on the show as possible. It is being billed as “the biggest reunion in WWE history.”

Meltzer also noted that the idea was mostly USA Network’s. USA hasn’t been happy with the low Raw ratings recently and reportedly gave WWE a list of suggestions, and a Raw reunion was one of them. Another suggestion was what became the 24/7 Championship.
