Since Raw's 20th Anniversary is tonight, I thought this'd be a fitting topic of discussion.
For me, it was the, I want to say 2006, Draft. I saw Boogeyman and King Booker get drafted, though I don't remember to where. There were also some Trump promos and I remember being annoyed that I didn't see any wrestling.

Late 2007. Orton punting Cena's dad right before No Mercy. Can't remember anything else from that Raw but been a wrestling fan ever since

Intercontinental Title battle royale in 1993 that came down to Razor Ramon and Rick Martel.

My earliest memory from Raw would likely be Money Inc. smashing Brutus the Barber Beefcake's face with the briefcase in 1993. It set up the angle for the Tag title match at WMIX and brought forth the return of Hulk Hogan. It was surreal at the time due to Jimmy Hart being the voice of reason and coming to the Beefer's aid.

The very first thing I remember ever seeing on Raw was Undertaker's entrance circa 1997. I didn't start watching actively until the night after Mania XIV but just that image of this giant clad all in black emerging for the darkness and the mist was enough to get me interested.

I think it was early 2003, I think it was the push-up contest between Steiner and HHH.

September 28. 1998, the night after Breakdown. My brother had Raw on and I remember Vince getting his ankle broken by Undertaker and Kane.

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.

My earliest memory is Bobby Heenan trying to get into the building.

Surprised with the lack of the Manhattan Center responses.
Mine were Mr. Perfect facing Ric Flair in a loser leaves town match. Marty beating Shawn Michaels for the IC title and Mr. Perfect interfering.

My earliest memory is Bobby Heenan trying to get into the building. Oh yeah, he dressed up like a woman in one of his failed attempts.

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.

I didn't have cable as a kid, so Raw seemed almost like something mythical that I would only read about in magazines. I remember being at my brother's house and getting to see part of one King of the Ring qualifying match in 1994, Bam Bam Bigelow vs Sparky Plugg, before he came in and changed the channel to a basketball game. That was the sum total of watching Raw for me until my family finally got cable in 1996.
