• WWF Veteran Says She Felt Raw 25 Was A Let Down
During a recent edition of Cigars, Scars and Superstars podcast, WWF Veteran Terri Runnels revealed why Raw 25 disappointed her. Below is what the former WWE Superstar said:
“I was very disappointed. I really was. First of all, I was proud to be there and proud to be with my WWE family again; that was wonderful, but pretty much after that, it was kind of like, ‘Wow, really?’ I thought that two location was a great idea because there’s no way that you can fit capacity crowd that would want to see it in that tiny Manhattan Center location.
In order to have it at the Manhattan Center you would have to have it at some other place. I heard from friends that were at the Manhattan Center felt that they got jipped because they only had a few matches and it was dead in between.
I think I am disappointed. I don’t feel like I was disrespected, but I just think that they had; this is my guess, but I believe they had a monster of a show to try to do and figure out.
This many talents coming into Raw that is normally not there like past legends, and I just think it ended up being a time thing; ‘We don’t know what else to do, let’s just have them come out and wave.’ I don’t know, it was just disappointing because I loved my WWE family and all of that and it was just disappointing. It was a let down.”
