Why does WWE insist on cramming as many legends, Hall-of-Famers and former superstars as humanly possible into one three-hour show?

Yes, we know that when you call something “Raw Reunion,” you need to have a bevy of familiar faces from the past, but it’s almost to the point of having people standing in the background doing next-to-nothing other than getting their 15 seconds of camera time.

Kaitlyn, for example, was on-screen with Dana Brooke and Alicia Fox, and if you didn’t recognize her immediately, you’d have no idea she even appeared (or was in the background of a party scene later). Torrie Wilson and Eve Torres had bit parts. And this writer whiffed on Jillian Hall the first time she was seen on the screen.
