Best Raw Ever

[Samoa Kenny]

What do you think the best Raw ever was? For my money, while it may not have been the best wrestling wise, Austin Kidnapping McMahon was by far my favorite back in the day. You?

[Sumbody Gon' Get Dey Kneelift]

Shelton beats HHHs.

Genuinely did not see that coming.

There have been over 750 episodes. It would be almost impossible to pick one.

You're right. That one was the best.

And it took place in Milwaukee, too. The same place where Austin 3:16 was born.

Hooray, Wisconsin!

But there's got to be one you just love and will never forget. I've watched Raw for years, but I'll never forget that one

The problem with that is, you may remember one or two big things on a show that makes it memorable, but if it's your favorite, you should be able to recite the whole thing without looking it up online.

For example, one of my favorite Raw's was on June 15, 1998. It featured the HIAC match with Undertaker & Austin teaming against Mankind & Kane. Other then that and a 10-team Royal Rumble, I can't tell you anything else.

Foley winning the Title. Amazing moment. I remember staying up late to see if he would win.

[Mr PONYMANIA Mr Jenzie]

one would be the day after austin lost the title to kane, and austin crashed the party

[The Wrestling Rambler]

"...because this Invasion, just got taken..to the...EXTREME!"

Yeah I know a lot of people weren't happy about ECW and WCW alliance at the end of the night. But for me there were so many twists, turns and swerves that night - it made it my favourite Raw. Still have it on tape.

[jzbadblood]

My favorite is when ECW invaded before One Night Stand 1. It was an awesome night.

[Big Daddy Bad Booking]

August 26th, 2002. You had Trips coming out to HBK's music to start the show, Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho, RVD vs. Tommy Dreamer in a unification IC/Hardcore Title match... so much awesomness.

[Tyfo]

MSG Raw the night after King of the Ring 2001. It had Mike Awesome making his debut and running in and attacking Rhyno backstage after his match with Test and pinning him for the Hardcore title.

The start of the APA's WWF locker room speeches.

Shane and Booker at WWF New York.

The first Austin, Angle, and Vince skits. (Vince: I know Kurt's a dork. But he's a dangerous dork....and he's our dork.

Angle: Hey Steve.....have you tried the carrots?)

Austin letting Angle tag along to WWF New York.

Booker giving Vince the scissors kick at the end. I also loved the slap Vince gave Booker and then Booker's no sell reaction of it. Awesome. Then the WWF locker room chasing Shane and Booker away.

Also on that night you had Big Show debut his Big Show, with the arrow pointing down shirt that Trish throught was pointing to his feet

X-Pac beat Jeff Hardy for the Lightheavyweight title. As a lifelong X-Pac mark, I enjoyed that.

Tajiri steped up to take on Jericho. Which was Regal's punishment to Jericho for the rumors that if Jericho or Benoit won the WWF title at KOTR, they would jump to WCW. Regal and Tajiri were gold together.

Edge getting his KOTR trophey and being interupted by "Billy Bitchcakes" ;D

DDP pulls hair out of Sara Undertaker's head.


Just a fun night. I still have it on tape.

[Zach Attack]

The 100th episode because they had a cake with black frosting and Macho Man shoved it in someones face (i forget who) and I remember being really mad because I kept thinking "WTF!??! BLACK ICING?!?! WTF Does that taste like?? Well, Ill find out as soon as it shows them eat a piec.......awww man stupid Macho Man threw it in their face! Now Ill never know what black icing taste like!"

For some strange reason, I actually expected them to just sit there and eat cake on camera and talk about what it taste like. I guess I thought it would be some nasty tasting cake and they would all spit it out and hilarity would ensue

[Bishblast]

One that comes to mind instantly is April 21, 1997.

This is an episode that centered around Austin and Bret. It was the night after In Your House 14, where Austin and Bret wrestled, and they were booked to have a Street Fight (or No DQ, can't remember). Austin is on the prowl for Bret the whole first hour, until Bret goes to the ring for the match. It begins with a brawl, then turns into a very very good, but short match with Austin "crippling" Bret.
Bret is wheeled out on a stretcher by Bulldog, Owen, and some officials. As Bret is loaded into the ambulance, Austin is shown in the driver's seat. He then proceeds to "whip" Bret. Etc.

Most memorable moment(s) in my 12 years of watching Raw.

As far as entire card goes, I was very much impressed with night one of the Gold Rush tournament.

Also of note is the Raw from MSG on Sept 22, 1997.

[Aaron E. Dangerously]

Raw Homecoming back in 2005. Kevin does the Iron Claw, Slaughter gives the Cobra Clutch, Snuka does the ol' Superfly Splash, and all the legends just kick Rob Conway's ass.

[Branimal]

The one that I was actually at.

I might be a little biased but I generally think it was a fantastic RAW.

On HEAT we get a main event match between "The Hurricane" and Chris Jericho..pretty sweet if I don't say so myself.

May 05th, 2003 -- Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada -- Steve Austin's first night as Co-GM with Bischoff. Austin starts out the show by bringing out a briefcase and announcing the return of the I-C title!

Several hilarious sketches between Austin and Bischoff as the night goes on.

Jericho has a Hi-Light Reel Segment to interview Number 1 contender Kevin Nash..and we proceed to boo him like crazy when he touches fellow Canadian Y2J..and cheer HHH when he comes out to beat Nash to bits..place goes crazy..ruins Nash's push.

One of the hilights of the night was having these 2 huge Jeff Hardy fans sitting next to us..wearing Hardy shirts and chains and holding signs..waiting for Jeff to come out..not realizing that the prior week he was released.

Goldberg wrestles in the main event against 3 Minute Warning in a handicap match, Christian interferes..Austin makes the match for the next week..Goldberg vs Christian in a steel cage. Austin proceeds to have a beer bash..everyone comes to the ring..ring is surrounded by fans drinking beer followed by Austin pretending to swim in said beer on the mat. Camera goes off..Bischoff comes out..Austin gives him the stunner..Goldberg gives him the Jackhammer/Spear..show ends.

WIN

[Steveweiser]

Couldn't pick a Greatest RAW Ever, but I could certainly pick a Greatest Hour Of RAW Ever, hour 2 of 23/04/07 in London. Just one match. Cena. Michaels. Best RAW Match Ever.

[-Lithium-]

The RAW the week after Edge won the title for the first time. Opened with HBK/Angle and closed with the Edge/Flair TLC match. RAW was good again and was for a while...
