The RAW Reunion special has now come and gone. The show ended with Stone Cold Steve Austin and multiple other WWE legends having a beer in the ring together.
On Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry shared some details about what happened backstage during and after the RAW Reunion special.
Henry first described the backstage ‘Legends Lounge’ that WWE had set up for them (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quotes below):
“There were a lot of celebrities in the back. Musicians, and MMA fighters. It was just like WrestleMania. The biggest thing – the setup. They had a lounge set up with all these big comfortable chairs, and fruit and drinks, and all kinds of stuff set up in a lounge for the Legends, and it was called the Legends Lounge. And they ain’t never done nothing like that at WrestleMania before. It rivaled WrestleMania as far as the presentation and the set up.
“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.”
Henry was also asked if any of the legends partied a little bit too hard after the show went off the air:
“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.”
