[Professor Chaos]

Best RAW ever was the Bret-Austin street fight and it's not on here :-(

[Apricots And A Pear Tree]

Are they really uncut or do they do clever editing around Benoit?

[Bravo Echo November]

Still peeved that they cancelled the Blu-Ray of this, but I'll still buy it. I want this to be a success so 'E can produce more like it (Smackdown, another RAW, Nitro, etc).

[BlackoutCreature]

I'm kinda surprised to see RAW Championship Friday and the European Championship RAW on there. I remember RAW Championship Friday getting trashed by critics when it first aired, and with the exception of the Bulldog-Owen match, the European Championship RAW did as well.

He's in the listing, which means he's in more than likely. Didn't stop them when creating the Anthologies and match-type compilations.

[RedDevil]

Excited by the 1997 episodes especially - some fond memories that are sure to be ruined by the reality of seeing them again

Shame they can't include the first appearance of the Radicalz - though perhaps the most memorable parts happening on separate Raws wouldn't help that (the first being them sitting at ringside and then attacking the Outlaws; the second being the ten-men the following week). I don't remember much from those two weeks outside of that tbh.

[Sir Woodrow]

Dear Santa...

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

The Pipebomb Raw was trash. I get why it's on there since it features the most influential angle of the modern era but the actual show was really, really bad.

[lildude8218]

enjoy those checks for 37 cents, Tony Vajda

[thegame415]

It's weird, because the March 3, 1997 Raw, I believe, is the lowest rated Raw to ever air in its regular time slot.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Because if there was one match that needed to be immortalised on DVD for all the times, it was "Hilary Clinton" v "Barack Obama".

("Bill Clinton" did some great heel manager work, though)

[Big DSR Energy]

Divas Championship Match:
Melina vs. Alicia Fox

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

[greeby]

07-09 Raws had so little to enjoy about them, and the ones they picked typify that.

[Deleted]

No Bret/Sid cage match? Boo.

I'll definitely still get this, since quite a bit of my teen years is in the set.

[celticjobber]

Not nearly enough from the early years and way too much recent stuff.

One episode from 1993 and then skipping to 1996 is inexcusable. They should've included the RAW from February of 1993 with Mr. Perfect vs. Flair and the one from 1994 with Bret Hart vs. 123 Kid.

Eh, I'm usually the first person to call for the old-school one hour RAWs to get more love, but I don't see the point in a set like this. They followed a very specific formula back then of having one major match or hot angle, and then 45 minutes of things like Adam Bomb vs. Reno Riggins. Both of those matches you mentioned are easily available on other sets and there's no reason to waste space on these discs with matches like IRS vs. Ray Hudson just to include them. The "1-2-3 Kid/Razor Ramon" show gets a pass for historical reasons, but otherwise I think the WWE is best to focus on RAWs that offer a better total show then one memorable segment.

Do guys actually get royalties off of DVD sales? Because some people must have made a killing off of the Royal Rumble anthologies if that was the case.

[Jonathan Michaels]

I'd take out either the European Championship episode or the Pipebomb episode and put in the RAW after Survivor Series 2001

Yes, I know, it's the Invasion reset, but think of the moments on there.

You have Heyman and Stephanie getting dragged off by security, you have the debut of the Kiss my Ass club and the return of Ric Flair.

Some are paid royalties, but not all.

Owen Hart's widow sued WWE partly because she claimed to have not been paid royalties for footage of him that was sold on DVDs, and so did former AWA star Doug Somers.
