Was that where Austin ended up coming out in the suit as Vince's "corporate champ" and ended up stunning him? I think that was the following week but I'm not completely sure. I think you are right.

The raw the night after iyh: revenge of taker should be on it. Austin vs Bret street fight....whichs turns to bret bein loaded into the ambulance only to find out austins in there!
Also, even tho I have it on tape so I'll live if its not on the dvd, but the raw is war from March 98 where Tyson joins dx and undertaker returns at the end to confront kane is definitely a classic episode.

How are they going to include anything 2001 - 2007 (minus that 9 - 12 month period he was out, if I remember right) without showing Benoit? Regardless.... this is an obvious purchase for me. He was on Smackdown for a lot of that.

Cole and the Bellas hosting... Damn. I'm not that big on The Bella Twins either, but is that really a dealbreaker for a set like this?

I hope we get the "Kane marries Lita" episode. I don't remember anything else from the show, but that segment alone is worth it. Christy Hemme's ass eating pie opened the show I don't care what anyone says, The Rock made that segment freaking gold.

If this finally leads to WWE putting out season-boxsets that aren't clips [at least two-three months at a time], then YES. Otherwise...well, still awesome. I'd pay crazy good money for official, uncut years of Superstars with no current logo watermark.

I think it's unfortunate that they don't have a Manufacture on Demand program just for stuff like that.

WrestlingDVDNews.com provided the following information on which episodes will be featured in the set: -Original ECW Invasion - February 1997 -Final Nitro/Raw simulcast - March 2001 (no word whether they will include the final Nitro as well). -Raw Homecoming - October 2003 (USA Network return including Angle vs. Michaels Iron Man match) -Bret Hart returns to Raw (January 2010) -First episode of Raw (January 1993) -DX Invasion (Creation of the Triple H led version of DX, April 1998) -First-ever Steve Austin vs. Mr. McMahon (April 1998, episode that broke Nitro's run in the ratings) -Raw Roulette (November 2003, Victoria vs. Lita) -Undertaker & Triple H & Shane McMahon vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin & The Rock & Mr. McMahon (May 1999) -Mankind wins WWF title (January 1999) -15th Anniversary episode (December 2007) Nice, I probably will be gettin this. Was kinda hopin the 1st episode wasn't gonna be one of the episodes since it was a bonus disc on the Raw XV dvd. But I understand why. I have the homecomin ep on vhs, but itll be cool to have that on dvd

Like i said earlier, i'd like to see the November 4, 1996 RAW (The Austin/Pillman gun incident). Its on both the pillman and austin dvds, but i'd like to see the whole show in context (it also has the first appearance of Rocky Maivia, so it's likely that it will show up):
10/21/96; Ft. Wayne, IN; War Memorial Coliseum 11/4/96 - the first episode to air at 8 p.m.; featured a viewer discretion graphic at the opening of the broadcast; included Vince McMahon & Jerry Lawler on commentary; featured a live opening shot outside Brian Pillman's home in Walton, KY; included comments from Kevin Kelly outside Pillman's home in which he said Pillman and his wife were inside but their children had been sent away in the event Steve Austin was to show up as he threatened; featured a vignette of Steve Austin promoting his match with Bret Hart at Survivor Series; included a Survivor Series Control Center hosted by Dok Hendrix in which it was announced the Undertaker would face Mankind with Paul Bearer hoisted above the ring in a cage; footage was then shown of Hendrix conducting an in-ring interview with Mankind, Bearer, & the Executioner during the "Big Bang Boom" tour, with Taker's voice eventually interrupting them and revealing a cage at ringside with a dummy hoised upside down, meant to represent what Taker would do to Bearer at Survivor Series; the interview appeared to have taken place at the very same Raw taping; included Kelly conducting an interview with Pillman, recovering from the attack sustained at the hands of Austin the week previous during WWF Superstars, and his wife Melanie at their home, during which McMahon interrupted to note Austin was circling the neighborhood, with Pillman then displaying a 9mm handgun and implying he would shoot Austin if he came through the door; featured a segment of Karate Fighters Holiday Tournament, hosted by Todd Pettingill & Lawler, in which Psycho Sid defeated Marlena to advance; it was noted Hendrix would face Sable the following week; included footage of Austin arriving at the home and beating up two men outside before smashing his way through the front door; the live feed went out just as Austin barged in the living room and Pillman pointed the gun at him; featured Jim Ross conducting an in-ring interview with Sid and WWF World Champion Shawn Michaels, alongside Jose Loathario, regarding their history, miscommunication on Raw weeks earlier, and facing each other at Survivor Series; during the segment, Sid responded to Michaels' comments by saying "bullshit;" the comment was censored out; moments later, Michaels said Sid wasn't in his league and said "To be the man, you've got to beat the man;" the two continued to have words until Michaels knocked over the podium between them; eventually, Jim Cornette, Vader, WWF Tag Team Champions Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith, & Clarence Mason surrounded the ring, with Hart hitting Sid in the back before Michaels used the chair to clear the ring; once Sid turned around, he assumed Michaels had used the weapon on him; after Sid and Michaels had words, Camp Cornette again attempted to jump them but they cleared them from the ring; referees and officials then swarmed the ring as Sid and Michaels went face to face; included footage from Pillman's home in which Pillman was seen being held back and Austin gone; moments later, Austin returned to the living room and was held back again; as the show came to a close, Pillman was heard screaming "Let him go, I'm going to kill that son of a bitch!" and "You don't know who you're f***ing with!" (Pillman's last appearance for 5 months): Goldust (w/ Marlena, WWF IC Champion Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Mr. Perfect, Crush, & Clarence Mason) fought Barry Windham (w/ Marc Mero, Sable, Rocky Maivia, & Mark Henry) to a double disqualification at around the 8-minute mark when each man's cornermen began fighting at ringside; prior to the bout, it was announced Jerry Lawler, Goldust, Helmsley, & Crush would face Mero, Windham, Rocky Maivia, & Mark Henry at the Survivor Series in an elimination match; during the contest, Dok Hendrix interrupted from the WWF Studios in which he said he spoke with Steve Austin and said Austin was on his way to Brian Pillman's home from the Cincinnati airport; moments later, Austin spoke to the commentary team over the phone in which he said he didn't care who was waiting for him at Pillman's house and he was going to do whatever it takes to get his hands on Pillman; Austin then said he could do whatever he wanted because Vince McMahon needed him at Survivor Series; mid-way through the match, Lawler left the broadcast table to join his Survivor Series team at ringside; after the contest, Mero's team eventually dominated the fight and cleared the ring (Maivia's debut) The Sultan (w/ Bob Backlund & the Iron Sheik) defeated Alex Porteau via submission with the Camel Clutch at 2:09; during the bout, McMahon noted Steve Austin and Brian Pillman were once tag team champions Razor Ramon II (w/ Diesel II) pinned Marc Mero (w/ Sable) at around the 14-minute mark with the Razor's Edge after Mr. Perfect & WWF IC Champion Hunter Hearst Helmsley came ringside and Helmsley shoved Mero off the top behind the referee's back, with Mero injuring his knee in the fall; Jim Ross joined the commentary team for the match; during the bout, director Kerwin Silfies called in from the production truck to say their equipment failed at Pillman's home and the electricity is out at the home; Silfies then said he's not sure what happened but he did hear some explosions inside Brian Pillman's home; following the commercial break, Silfies said the authorities hadn't arrived and he didn't know why; Silfies said most of the crew were staying in the production truck; moments later, the call dropped after Silfies was heard yelling; later in the bout, it was noted Perfect would appear on Livewire the following Saturday

Glad we're getting Bret Hart's 2010 return as I hate how such a great moment was edited into a lame montage on the best of 2010 DVD set.

So that's what, 11 episodes announced so far? So 9 to go. Personally, I'd like to see Raw is Anarchy from June 2008, where Punk cashed in MITB and the entire show just devolved into chaos. Still one of my all-time favorite episodes of Raw. Also, the MSG show from September 1997 that featured Cactus Jack/Triple H and Austin stunning McMahon for the first time.

Disappointed at the lack of early Raw's. Personally, I'd rather have fewer early Raws if they're running a boxset like this, just because they were one-hour shows. If they're going to run something like this, I'd sooner you keep mostly two/three hour Raws in this box set to get as much as possible. (Of course, my previously said wish for complete season box sets also helps that, since the early one-hour shows would be far easier to put six months in at a time and sell as "Season 1, Part 1" if this succeeds.)

(Of course, my previously said wish for complete season box sets also helps that, since the early one-hour shows would be far easier to put six months in at a time and sell as "Season 1, Part 1" if this succeeds.) I dunno, it's hard enough sitting through three hour Raws the first time. Even the ones that have good moments here and there are still laborious viewing for the most part. I can see the argument against one hour Raws but I'd apply that moreso to the ones extended to three hours. WWE has never had a sense for how to structure or pace a three hour Raw that doesn't feel like they're simply stretching 2 hours of content over 3 hours of running time. My argument for what to include/exclude would also take into consideration that 1993, 1994, and 2009-2012 all have dedicated sets that cover them while the other years do not. In fact, while I don't endorse editing or censorship I think if this was essentially "The Best of Raw, 1995-2008" and had the same running time but was in the format of the yearly best of Raw release it would be a lot more valuable than a grab bag of 20 episodes.
