I don't remember the 1995 intro at all. Well I do but I can't recall it being that elaborate.

I don't seem to be getting any ads at all. I just get the message telling me there is going to be an ad but then it jumps straight to the intro video for the year. Using Firefox here.

Man the sad thing is that I remember everyone of those themes. But I think we can all agree that I wanna be loved sux. The only thing that saves it is Mickie James and Maria's scenes in it. Across the Nation was the best. They should have stuck with it

Shame the 97-98 transition theme from Raw at 9:00 to the Warzone at 10:00 wasn't on there. My favorite ever.

I remember The Beautiful People being used for a few weeks as a Raw theme. That was Smackdown's theme |

My lord '95 really SUCKED. That should be inducted into Wrestlecrap STAT. I love the way the intro in 1997 gives of a completely different vibe than any of the ones before it.
Being a big movie fan, and a director/photographer at heart I'll alway love the big epic pan shot at the start of the '97 intro of those giant... I'm not sure what to call them "garage doors" opening up and seeing the wrestling ring off in the background. Steve Austin walking through some huge explosions. And the giant brawl in the ring between the top guys in the company at the time. It's just... cinematic ally correct, whoever did it was a genius.
1999 will always be another one of my top picks. I just love how in your face it is. It's also interesting to note that it makes me sad that the freakin' INTRO to the '99 shows is going to end up being better than tonights Raw....

That's when they had pyro for the Warzone as well. It sucked if you were at a taping for it. Because it would seem like the haze from the opening pyro would just clear off and then......here comes the Warzone pyro. |

Someone appears to be missing from the 2004 intro..... You know... I was thinking the same thing. If Chris Masters made it into one of the intros (and I've already forgotten the year it was....) you'd think a major player like Benoit would have been in at least ONE of them. ~Kyle |

I liked when they showed it twice, that being when they took "RAW IS WAR" and "WAR ZONE" more seriously.

I really wish WWE would release these sort of things on a massive DVD-Rom or something, similar to what R.D. did with all the inductions, I know I'd buy it. It would just be full of TV and PPV openings, Titantrons etc.
By the way, who in the hell was doing a shooting star press in either the 1995 or 1996 one. My eyes must be deceiving me, because I swear to god it looks like the guy is wearing Warrior attire!

I remember getting mad as a kid when NITRO came about and how the similarities in names I thought was a weak rip off...Monday night raw...Monday Nit-ro...has anything ever been said about them sounding the same?

Well, since it's not the first time or the last time that WCW was taking a WWF idea, I doubt it.

Aww man.
I was hoping that at least one of them had this clip of the Big Show.
Kurt Angle sprayed him with a fire extinguisher, the smoke clears out and Big Show looks insanely angry and the smoke is coming off of his head.. does anyone remember that?
