Report: Last Night's WWE Raw Reunion Caused "A Ton Of Headaches"
WWE's latest nostalgia show was rife with backstage issues.
Last night's WWE Raw Reunion special was everything fans have come to expect from such nostalgia shows, with three relatively harmless, inconsequential hours producing all kinds of daft content for older fans to sink their teeth into, and enough shambolic stuff to raise a black chuckle from the so-bad-it's-good-crowd.
Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like things were particularly smooth behind the scenes.
This is according to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online Daily Update. He wrote that "tonight's show has evidently been a ton of headaches," adding that "there was more than one segment written that had to be changed today because talent involved were flagged by medical from doing anything physical."
Meltzer then stated that "many segments have been changed at the last minute, and not due to Vince changing his mind, but due to things medical wouldn't allow to happen."
The night saw a number of legends fall victim to minor assaults, including Mick Foley passing out to a Bray Wyatt-inflicted Mandible Claw. Most didn't get physical, however, and while WWE can't overrule their medical department, it's nuts that they didn't consult the returnees on their condition prior to scripting segments.
