Since someone already mentioned Katie Vick... ...let's go with Fake Trump vs. Fake Rosie. See, in their infinite wisdom, WWE actually hyped this up as if people wanted to see two bad impersonators (one of whom was sending up a celeb who hadn't been relevant in over a decade) go at it in a ring. They convinced themselves that anybody cared about Rosie O'Donnell enough to laugh at a poor impersonation of her Yeah, you think it's bad there? Try being in the UK. If it wasn't for his WWE run I wouldn't have heard of Trump until 2 years ago. Also nice progressive WWE with Rosie being a heel because she's a lesbian. And to top it all off, this was Ace Steel, the best worker out of the Second City Saints' only appearance on the main roster. I believe he appeared once before in 2004 when Eugene cut his hair to hype up his Taboo Tuesday match with Eric Bischoff. As for the topic at hand, It's hard to narrow it down, but a lot of those 2006 and 2009 Raws were just awful.

I have to confess, I almost bought tickets, to the Piven Raw. I ended up staying home and watching. The only memorable thing for me, was "Summerfest"

I dunno a lot of the early ones were pretty dire... especially not helped by Rob Bartlett.

To be fair, Rosie is completely unbearable and unlikeable, with it having nothing to do with her being a lesbian. She was made the heel via VKM's friendship with Trump.

Reading all this, It makes me think I made a good decision of only returning to watch the WWE in the Fall of 2012 after a 10 years absence.

The one with ZZ top as guest hosts. Or the 3 stooges as guest hosts. Both were abysmal.

"Rock This Is Your Life" as just f***ing interminable. Bro, it's still the highest rated segment of Raw! I turned to WCW during that bullshit. I never did that before, because I always watched the replay after Raw ended.

The episode where Rock vs. Hogan was announced is one of the most boring things I've ever seen in my entire life.

January 1, 2007-Well lets see the year starts off with Cena jobbing which does not sound that bad except it is to Kevin Federline. I remember watching this Raw and making a joke online during the commercials that Rob Conway was going to be on Raw since they saved him for the bad Raws. As soon as the commercial ends guess who comes out to do a job. Then at the end of the show Cena gets revenge on K-Fed. As bad as that Raw was surely next week had to be an improvement right?
January 8, 2007-So lets see the night before Triple H injures his quad and is out for a while. Since Raw is down a major star it is decided to move someone to Raw. Now on Smackdown and ECW there were a lot of good talents avaialible who could have added some benefit to Raw. So it is only natural that they move The Great Khali to Raw. The same Great Khali who just a few months earlier WWE did not feel was able to work a match on live television. Then you had Umaga attacking Cena which ruptured Cena's spleen. As bad as everything previously mentioned was it was not the worst thing on this Raw. The worst thing was the Trump vs O'Donnell match.

I can remember that 'Raw Bowl' in 95 or 96 being absolute trash. They literally tried to incoparate american football rules into a muti-man tag match.

I DID buy a ticket to the Piven Raw. (In defense, I was at Mohegan Sun for unrelated reasons, had no clue Raw was there the day I was up there and just stayed for it, and at least Mohegan Sun's a really good arena if you want to meet wrestlers after the show.)

I've been to a few Raws there, but we left after the show I met Dolph at a Raw at Webster Bank Arena One Raw at Mohegan Sun, that I was at, was the one where Matt Hardy came back, after the Edge/Lita stuff (with, I think the HBK Larry King segment)

"Rock This Is Your Life" as just f***ing interminable. Rose tinted glasses on my part, but dude that segment drew an 8.1 quarter he rating (took the whole quarter hr to finish but still). This wasn't exactly Austin/ McMahon in 97 but the damn thing was funny. I was a rock hater and a mankind hater but I simply could not change the channel. Nitro has some filler match on so I had no option, but still it kept me

The E. Stanley Kroenke episode made me embarrassed during "that" Vince promo.....
The ONLY redeeming thing from that farce was the board's reaction when Batista came out with the basketball.
