Why havent they uploaded the Feb 13, 1997 RAW which aired on a Thursday Night as Thursday RAW Thursday? It was the one with the infamous "lost my smile" promo so you'd think it would be up there for historical reasons (there was also a pretty good Bret vs Vader main event as well).

Wasn't there a technical glitch with that show? I haven't seen it in years (used to have a self-taped copy on VHS), but ISTR one either on the original broadcast or reading about it afterward.

I saw the IC title match on one of Rock's DVD sets, and nothing seemed amiss there. Did it only affect certain segments?

As a shoot answer I do wonder if they held it off due to how obviously messed up Shawn was.

I'd imagine because *technically* it's not an episode of Monday Night Raw. I know it aired in place of Raw that week, but in terms of the numbered episodes, it isn't a Raw. Probably the same reason Friday Night's Main Event (which coincidentally also features a pretty good Bret vs. Vader main event) hasn't bene uploaded either. The Raw episode I find particularly conspicuous by its absence is the first Raw of 1996, The Raw Bowl.

The NFL is extremely protective of the SuperBowl and anything relating to the SuperBowl, so as stupid as it sounds, even though it's WWE-owned footage, they probably had to pay the NFL to make the SuperBowl-themed episode, and probably aren't interested in the exorbitant fees that go along with paying them again to put it on the Network.

Because I got Classic on Demand in 2007 and distinctly remember when the Monday Night Wars got to January 1996, the Raw Bowl week was skipped then too. Makes sense though if it is the Super Bowl keeping Raw Bowl from being posted, which probably makes that New Day promo from earlier this year where they keep stopping each other from saying "Super Bowl" a pretty funny inside joke.

The "Championship Friday" (2 episodes) from August/September 1997 ever get on the list? (They might actually be jacked-up episodes of Shotgun Saturday Night, now that I think about it. Just remembered WWF would usually be off the air during the tennis US Open.)
I do recall some highlights at the IYH: Ground Zero event.

Both aired. I got classics when they started on Comcast in August of 2006.Monday night war was at August 96 then about a year or so later they cut down from 4 episodes a month down to 2 and they started re-airing from the beginning.The Raw Bowl aired cause I burned it to DVD from classics.The Thursday raw Thursday episode was the 1st time they aired nitro & raw from separate days up until that point if both shows weren't on Monday they would skip that week.Later in 97 they aired nitro from the last week of August & the 1st week of September but didn't air the Friday night main events that aired those weeks.

Good to know. I just remembered it's entirely possible I just didn't get the Raw Bowl at the time because I had Verizon FiOS as it was just starting to branch out in NYC and, irritably, would often only host 80% of the Classics on Demand content. It's why we only ever got Part 2 of ECW's Massacre on 34th Street. It was really shoddy service.

It's why we only ever got Part 2 of ECW's Massacre on 34th Street. It was really shoddy service. Getting only 1 part of a show was a common thing for me with Comcast.Also I remember when the pick your big one of the month was a show I've never seen it wouldn't always show up on my service I specifically remember that with Great American Bash 90 & 91.

The more I think about it, these episodes like Thursday Raw Thursday and the Championship Friday shows might fall under the category of specials as opposed to regular episodes of Raw. When you go to where they should be in the listings, episode numbers aren't skipped, so they must not be considered Raw episodes.

Yes I did call Comcast about it and they told me to talk TV guide.I called Tv Guide and they told me to call Comcast and they ended up giving me a free month but the show's never showed up.I still hold a grudge. When the network launched I quickly watched both shows.It was a poor choice but it was great that they are there.

When you go to where they should be in the listings, episode numbers aren't skipped, so they must not be considered Raw episodes. We're confusing shows here. Raw Championship Friday was a September 1996 one-time airing that had some IC tournament title matches, as well as Goldust vs. Alex Porteau. I have no idea why that match is the ONE match I remember from that night, but there you go. The two Friday events from August/September 1997 were called Friday Night's Main Event. They weren't Shotgun episodes, they were a full two hour broadcast with the Raw is War set-up.

When the network launched I quickly watched both shows.It was a poor choice but it was great that they are there. I had similar issues with FiOS. When WWE CoD didn't respond to my daily emails, I contacted FiOS and they flatout said "sometimes they don't send us everything to load up. Whenever they do this, let us know and we won't charge you for it that month." So, I at least got a few free months out of it. Still, would rather have paid and see what I wanted to see.
