Oh god, some of those Raws from late 06 and early 07 were awful, there was a period where I only watched Smackdown. I can't remember many specific episodes cos all the shittiness has kinda blurred together in my mind. I guess the one with the infamous Rosie O' Donnell/Donald Trump segment with the TNA chants has to be up there. I wanted to shake every single person in the audience's hand that night for rejecting that crap Vince was throwing at them.

The A-Team episode, where Bradley Cooper showed up for 10 seconds, and there was a long, excrutiating story about how the King's crown was kidnapped, was just awful. And Piper was the big heel because Rampage Jackson looked like Mr. T. The sad part is that the basic idea of Piper hearing that "The A-Team" is going to be on Raw and thinking that he can attack Mr. T does have potential for comedy. The problem was that A) the guy he hired to kidnap T was Ted Dibiase, whose whole character is "I'm stinking rich!", and B) when Piper arrived, his reaction wasn't "Who's this?! And where's Mr. T?" instead of apparently thinking that his enemy is the fictional Barracus, no matter who portrays him.

Raw in 2006 was horrible. One of the worst periods for the WWE that I can remember.
I actually can't think of any individual Raw's from then that stick out as the worst since their were so many bad ones.
Gonna have to go with Lakers vs Nuggets Raw. That was embarassing. Although, any of the three hour specials could be included since instead of making use of the time, the WWE decide that 'special' means including a bunch of terrible skits instead of having an extra few matches or giving time to matches already on the card..
I also remember a terrible Raw before the guest host saga where Eric Bischoff was in charge for one night. I can't remember much of it, only that it was horrendous.

I don't remember many specifics but in 2003 some of the episodes were terrible. It often seemed like Triple H was cutting 30 minute promos on the regs.

In fourteen years of professional wrestling fandom, this is the single worst episode of any wrestling program I have ever seen.

The one with "This is your life, Rock." Does it count as only a segment when it takes up 1/4 of the entire show? this is a joke, right?

In fourteen years of professional wrestling fandom, this is the single worst episode of any wrestling program I have ever seen. The worst part of Little People's Court wasn't that it aired. No, the worst part of it was the fact that they RECAPPED it later in the very same episode. It was almost as if Kevin Dunn and Vince McMahon were demanding that the fans enjoy that stupid skit.

12/14/2009 - The 2009 Slammy Awards with Guest Host Dennis Miller. That's the worst episode of wrestling I've seen in 20+ years of watching. This. I always know I'll have an ally in agreeing upon this being the single worst piece of wrestling-based television of all-time.

In my 5+ years of watching,I'd vote this the worst I've ever seen,Dennis Miller's brand of "Comedy" really didn't tickle my fancy,it just made me dread the rest of the show.

Vince McMahon's two-hour filled Take That against the owner of the Denver Nuggets, culminating in a match where the heels dressed in Nuggets jerseys.

Don't know how true it is but I heard stories that several from the audience went to the restrooms/concessions and was stopped by security and they were told that was not a good way to act toward the WWE. Anyone else heard something similar?

It's hard to remember exact shows from 16 years ago, but there were some bad Raws in 1995.

I think its a bit unfair to compare anything pre-Attitude. The WWE was not what it is today in terms of money, production value, etc. Throwing anything pre-1996 away, I think the absolute worst Raw is the K-Fed Raw where he first challenges Cena. The show ended with Big Dick Johnson with DX painted on his ass and Bischoff's face in said ass. The entire show was poop on a plate. I think there have been shows with worse segments, but on whole, the one above was so terrible I actually remember detail. This one www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/11062006/mainarticle

I've just noticed a trend that terrible periods of Raw tended to coincide with when reformed DX were active.
Even worse, 2009 DX also had the guest host debacle dragging the show down too.

Going back a bit, I think I remember the RAW after Survivor Series 1997 being a terrible, godawful mess, for obvious reasons.
