There's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't have seen a segment featuring the Madison Square Garden matches between "Superstar" Billy Graham and Dusty Rhodes on WWE TV last week during Raw. In fact, WWE should be making great use of their video library during a three-hour show to showcase the type of content one could say, find on the WWE Network. Leading into the return of The Undertaker at Wrestlemania by showing 'taker wrestling Triple H in Hell in a Cell on Raw and interspersing it with overdubs from Triple H putting over how impressive The Undertaker is should've happened. As well, if you really want to get over Ryback as IC champ, then show The Ultimate Warrior as IC champ and have Ryback talking about how inspiring Warrior is to what he's doing in the ring. WWE should be looking at Raw as much as stand-alone content as an advertising portal for the Network, too. Creating the link between the past and current WWE products is of absolute importance, and this is the simplest way to make that happen.
