Monday’s episode of Monday Night Raw was the big Raw reunion show, and quite a few legends were in the house for the event.
Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry was part of the show, and he recently noted on Busted Open Radio that WWE took great care of the legends backstage.
“If you can visualize this – you walk into the door and here’s a table with all these fruit bowls, and carrots and celery, and dips and drinks, and all kinds of potato chips of every brand, a little dessert tower, and then you see just from 20 yards of big couches, with little tables and tablecloths on them, and welcome signs. I’m like, ‘Man, this is some VIP-type stuff, I’ve never experienced that.’ So, they did it really, really well and it was a really good job at making everybody feel at home and comfortable.”
The show ended with a toast in the ring, but after Raw went off the air the party didn’t stop.
It was later reported that Ric Flair bought several rounds of drinks and pizzas for WWE stars at the hotel bar after Raw, and according to Mark Henry, Steve Austin and Ric Flair “got lit.”
“Ric Flair. The doctor gave him a clean bill of health and said it wasn’t the alcohol, it was your heart, and he got that fixed. Him and Steve Austin got lit, I mean… [whistles]. Ric Flair, he did everything but take his clothes off. He danced in the bar, he did the whole ‘Naitch’ thing. It was pretty damn special, man. It was pretty special, glad I got to see that again.”
