Can anyone explain to me a bit about the following RAW Specials, please? RAW BowlThe only thing I can find on this is that it aired January 1st, 1996. RAW Championship FridayThe only thing I can find about this is that it aired on September 6th, 1996. I can't even find a picture. RAW Saturday NightWas there any reason why it aired on a Saturday? Thursday RAW ThursdayI remember one airing in 1999, and one apparently took place on February 13th, 1997. Same as above, really. Why did it air on a Thursday? PS - "Thursday RAW Thursday" is a sucky name. Thanks in advance.

RAW Bowl was a show done with a football theme. It had vignettes for weeks with Classy Freddie Blassie playing the coach and talking to his "players".
The show had a ring painted to look like a football field, the wrestlers came out in jerseys and there was some kind of tag match. I remember Yokozuna's weight was the number on his jersey.
Someone else probably remembers more than me about it though.

I don't remember much on it either other than there were a bunch of tag teams on the outside of the ring; almost like an old tag-team Survivor Series elimination match from 1987 or 1988. Wasn't this inducted as wrestlecrap?
On the rest; does it really matter? What will you gain w/ the knowledge if you had it?

Here we go. This was the match from Raw Bowl:
January 1, 1996 - RAW: The Smoking Gunns (Billy & Bart) b Razor Ramon & Savio Vega and Sycho Sid & The 1-2-3 Kid and Owen Hart & Yokozuna in a "RAW Bowl" Elimination match.
They all came out in the jerseys, etc.
The only other thing on that Raw was the replay of a match from the last IYH PPV.

The Raw bowl was a Fatal Four Way Tag Match, where you can tag any member of any team, and I believe it was elimination style.
The Raw Saturday Night and Thursday Raw Thursday were just because of Pre-emptions to the best of my memory, and The Championship Friday had all the champs in action i believe.

I think I remember seeing Razor Ramon coming through that hideous entrance RAW logo they had at the time wearing a football jersey.

Only one match? This was a one-hour RAW, then, I assume.

Yeah, I remember them showing a replay of the Bret vs Bulldog IYH match and warning the viewing audience about the extreme nature of the blood involved which always had me scratching my head because if I recall, the match really wasn't that bloody. I actually think Bret used the blood packet instead of a blade and by the end of the match, all the blood wore off.

Wasn't the first Thursday Raw Thursday the night where HBK lost his smile? I remember ads leading up to the event, with a main event of HBK squaring off against Sid.

Does anyone else agree that "Thursday RAW Thursday" was a terrible name? It makes no sense, and what's with the repetition of "Thursday"?

By the end of the match, the ring apron and Davey Boy's tight were soaked in blood. It's on the Bret Hart DVD.

It was Thursday Raw Thursday when Rock won the IC title. He hadn't debuted yet when Raw Championship Friday aired.

The Championship Friday had all the champs in action i believe. and now that I think of it...Wasn't Raw Saturday night a holiday show...the one where HHH and HBK 'fought' for the European Title?
