This week’s Grilling JR podcast focused on the January 7, 2008 episode of WWE RAW. Ross watched the show as-live and gave his take on various aspects of WWE programming around that period of time.
The WWE Hall of Famer confirmed that Vince McMahon decides who appears in video packages before shows. While Ross considered it “a great source of pride” to hear his voice in the videos, he was also disappointed when Vince McMahon replaced him.
Nowadays, Vince McMahon’s RAW and SmackDown shows open with a video package showing various legends, followed by WWE’s “Then, Now, Forever” slogan. Each show then has another video package highlighting some of today’s top Superstars.
Vince McMahon’s RAW and SmackDown introductions
“The Search” by NF is the theme music that is currently used on Vince McMahon’s WWE RAW show. Although Drew McIntyre is the WWE Champion, Randy Orton is the last Superstar in the introduction.
On Vince McMahon’s other main-roster show, WWE SmackDown, “Are You Ready” by AC/DC is used as the theme music. Roman Reigns, the current Universal Champion, appears last before the show starts.
