The very first RAW that was broadcast in the UK just after Summerslam 95, which featured Shawn Michaels defending the Intercontinental Title against Sid, and Owen and Yokozuna successfully defending the Tag Titles and cutting a promo on HBK and Diesel to build the Triple Header Match.
Of course we had highlights of RAW on WWF Mania or WWF Superstars or All American, but this was the first full RAW broadcast in the UK. Still remember it very well.

In like '93 I was watching TMNT on USA one morning then while the closing credits were rolling they played a promo for Raw featuring the Headshrinkers. I asked my mom if I could watch it later that night and the rest is history.

I remember the last episode of Prime Time where they hyped Raw, so I had to watch it. It was super exciting to me as a kid, just because it looked so different than Superstars or PPV shows. Such a unique feel to that first year.

Definitely Money Inc hitting Beefcake with the briefcase. I'm positive I watched the first Raw, but I have almost no recollection of it. I always watched Prime Time Wrestling when it had the roundtable on tape delay, cuz I was only 5.

123 Kid beating Razor. I remember my brother and I talking for weeks about this jobber (or youngster, as we used to call them) beating RAZOR FRICKIN' RAMON. In fact, my earliest memory of my entire life is being allowed to stay up until 10pm to watch Superstars. This. I was so used to seeing squash matches on Superstars and Wrestling Challenge. I was screaming my head off because someone I didn't actually beat a "bad guy" (I was 7 at the time)

I believe it was a Raw before Summerslam 1999. I remember a few notable bits from that, but it may be 2 or 3 different RAWs that got rolled into one in my head. I remember Mankind returning and facing Chyna, and Crash Holly making his debut.

Marty Jannetty jumping through a window to escape Shawn Michaels. I'd seen Raws (or bits of them) before that but that's my first clear memory. This wasn't on Raw.

For some reason, it's Shatner teaching Jerry Lawler a lesson.

I remember watching Prime Time Wrestling before Raw even started.
Oddly enough, my earliest memory off the top of my head is an episode featuring jobber squash matches with Jake Roberts and Battle Kat.
A quick skim of History of the WWE.com shows that show was around Halloween of 1990.

This wasn't on Raw, it was coincidently almost a year to the day before the first ever Raw. Oh, in that case it must be the 123 Kids victory against Razor. I have a really hard time with the earlier years as I saw clips on other WWF shows or my cousins videos so the order is all screwed up.

I remember watching as early as the last days of Prime Time, however watching the fight in the street between Mr Perfect and Shawn Michaels that included Howard Finkels car, was when I had my first real "OMG" RAW moment.
