If there was a best of Raw thread I would only be able to name like 5 Raws that were great. There are too many bad episodes vs good ones.

I don't even remember anything specific that happened on the Rock birthday special, just that it was 2 (or 3?) straight hours of Rock fellation. Not a word.

Depends on how you look at it. None made me angry like the night after Survivor Series 2001. Flair shows up the night after the Invasion ends. Even his home state crowd was fairly mild in a 'where the f*** have you been?' way. In terms of causing serious long term damage, you'll NEVER convince me that this episode doesn't take the cake.

Yeah, this would be my second choice.

I want to say the one with HHH's "Terri Schiavo" promo, but I don't remember the rest of that show at all...

You're also forgetting all these bizarre skits based around the A-Team remake, which ended with Roddy Piper (with Ted DiBiase, Virgil and Irwin R. Schyster as his goons) kidnapping Rampage Jackson (who was in character as B.A. Baracus) because he wanted revenge on Mr. T for WrestleMania I and II. But because he wasn't around, he basically Excellent Question Shelton'd it and kidnapped Rampage instead. Naturally, this led to the guy who was Murdock, Mean Gene Okerlund and Dusty Rhodes making the save. THAT WAS THE LAST SEGMENT BEFORE THE NEXUS RIOT MATCH BETWEEN CENA AND PUNK. I also remember Bradley Cooper showed up to open the show and got right the f*** out because it was obvious he didn't want to be there, and they didn't even get that much from Liam Neeson, so they went for Dusty as if you squinted a lot, he sort of might look like Hannibal. I love it when a plan comes together, baby.

That episode with Dr. Ken or whatever the hell his name was. When was that...2009-ish? I just remember wanting to strangle the life out of him for being unfunny. The matches were pretty shitty too from what I remember. That was just utter garbage. Monday's show was just boring as all hell. Between Chris Jericho being on screen in general to Seth Rollins channeling his inner Triple H and boring me to sleep by talking to the painfully unfunny Rusev/Lana bullshit to that shit main event...all of it was so damn bad.
Not nearly as bad as the episode I mentioned though.

Remember this is subjective. I loved 2000 but there is only 1 particular episode that will be number one for me from that year it's the night after Judgement Day when Rock destroyed everybody throughout the night. But in the last 8 years there hasn't been many. I loved 2013 Raw, favorite era of Raw of the 2010's.

Actually wasn't the ENIS!!!!!! Raw considered terrible mostly because it was the one time WWE had everyone's sympathy as they were screwed out of their rental of the Pepsi Center because the owner had no faith in his basketball team and managed to piss it all away by doing what was essentially a two hour f*** you to Denver and ENIS!!!!!!

If you're wanting the worst, WWE in 95 was just plain garbage, period. It was also half the length of Raw most of its run and a third the length of what it's been for several years now, which makes it very hard for those shows, as bad as they sometimes were, to compare with how wretched some of the stuff since has been. Fair Point.

Rock's birthday special is definitely in the running. The things I mostly remember were Pitbull coming out with the Miami Heat cheerleaders. Some celebs wishing Rock a happy birthday, particularly Paul Walker (RIP) and Vin Diesel. Also, The Rock kissing Mae Young in front of Vickie Guerrero for some odd reason. Let's not forgot when Rock said "WE GOT HIM!" in the wake of Bin Laden's death. Thank you for pointing out why the episode sucked. I spent the first page of the thread thinking that, every time someone brought this episode up, they were talking about the "this is your life" segment with Rock and Mankind. But yeah, the birthday episode sucked.

I remember tuning in to watch Raw back in the 90s and for some reason instead of having matches they had people showing dogs. I thought it was horrible, but people must have liked it, hey did it a few more times.

To be fair, it gave us WWE acknowledging the Batista basketball meme by having him enter with a basketball in his hands.

"Rock This Is Your Life" as just f***ing interminable. Bro, it's still the highest rated segment of Raw!

I didn't watch episodes from late 2007 to early 2016.
Man, I've missed some doozies, as I would call them.

I just went back and looked at the results of this show again. I swear, it needs to be way high in the running even with the amazing Nexus ringside destruction. The night featured not one, not two, not three, not FOUR, BUT FIIIIIVE gimmick matches. Now that could be awesome, except every last one of them sucked ass. Gimmick #1 - Chris Masters won a handicap match over Caylen Croft & Trent Baretta. Gimmick #2 - Big Show beat Chris Jericho in a Body Slam Challenge. Gimmick #3 - Kozlov defeated Santino in a Dance Off. Oh shit! Gimmick #4 - Maryse won a 3 minute Woman's Diva Battle Royal. Gimmick #5 - Randy Orton defeated Edge. Oh snap, this is probably a good match, right? Wrong. It goes less than 2 minutes, someone had their arm tied behind their back, and it ends in a DQ. Wheeee! That was all in one show, and those are just the f***ed up goofy matches. Try these others on for size: The Hart Dynasty defeated The Great Khali & Hornswoggle in a one minute tag team match. Kane and Sheamus beat on each other for 7 minutes and it ended in a count-out. Miz & Ryder took on Morrison & R-Truth. This at least had some potential to be solid, except it barely went 3 minutes. Matt Hardy and Drew McIntyre waged a minute and a half long war to decide who would own TNA's main event scene in the future. Then the main event was Cena and Punk which was also cut short to debut the Nexus. Ho. Ly. Shit. This is atrocious. Yeah, I remember that episode was particularly awful. Which I'm almost convinced they did on purpose, because it made the Nexus attack stand out that much more. There were passionate stern WWE lovers I knew online even saying "You know what, this episode is godawful" which said a lot when, during that time, some of those people defended everything.

The post-Survivor Series 2001 RAW (aka NOTHING HAPPENED IN THE PAST 7 MONTHS!!!) was horrible from a quality and business standpoint
Also didn't get the big deal about Flair's return either
