Your First Raw

[Dave the Dave]

What is your furthest back memory of RAW? Be it a live show, the first time you saw it on tv, or the first time you heard it slandered on Nitro.



The first RAW I ever saw, was one here in Cincinnati. I didn't go, but my cousin did. My really skinny female cousin, that will matter here in a second.

Well the first match of the night was Bret Hart vs. Vader in a No Holds Barred match. They make there way to the outside. Bret Hart takes Vader into the rail, and Vader's giant arm comes with in probably an inch of hitting my tiny cousin. So she is scared and backing up frantically to get away from this mastadon.
Luckily he didn't connect, because Vader kills commoners.

My very first memory of RAW would be Razor Ramon/1-2-3 Kid back on 5/17/1993.

My 1st raw was the first ever one, my first Nitro was the one after Survivor Series 97 I was expecting to see Bret, I had watched wcw before that though

[Vanilla Gorilla]

My first Raw was the first Raw. I remember being very excited for the show.

Been watching wrestling since 1978 and when i saw the 1st RAW in Jan. 93, i was like ok who the hell is Rod Bartlet. I still put out my tapes of raws from the 90s and enjoy them more now watching them then i did at the time.

Same here.

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Something from 1993, I remember the aftermath of the Razor Ramon/1-2-3 Kid match, though oddly enough I don't think I saw the match when it first happened. Also Lex Luger beating the crap out of Curt Hennig (I think that's the pair it as) as Raw ran out of time. That might have been later though maybe '94 or '95.

[VRM: LET'S GO BLUESHIRTS!!]

1999

Mankind vs. HHH for the WWE title, Right after Summerslam....

I tried to stay up one time in 94 or 95....but can't remember it...

[Hiroshi Hase]

The first Raw I saw was the July 5,1993 Raw that showed highlights of the bodyslam challenge on the USS Intrepid, and the main event was Undertaker vs. Samu. I loved every bit of it.

[Jared Has Been Enlightened :)]

Something in the summer of 1993 most likely. Possibly around the time the Steiner Brothers and Quebecers were feuding. My family didn't have cable when RAW first aired in January 93.

[Cheeba]

My first RAW was the very first episode.

["The Maine Event" Lil' Heavy]

I remember when the Monday Night show was a round table discussion show.

[Moonwalkin' Capt. Crow]

The first Raw that I watched was the night Mike Tyson appeared on Raw... loved it ever since.

[Mister Pigwell]

First episode and the Heenan shenanigans are my first memory of RAW in particular.

If I recall correctly..that match had never ended. I think it was "Falls Count Anywhere/No Holds Barred"..I think there was a run in and then they ran to the back and it never ended.

Longest running match in WWE history.

My first and only RAW that I saw live and in person was the one I attended in Halifax on Austin's first night as Co-GM..where he brought back the IC title.

The first RAW I ever saw was the first episode. Greatness.

[Well, Youre Wrong]

The very first episode of RAW, that was some good times in 1993

[wolfmoon103100]

mine was the first RAW

[GuyOfOwnage]

Despite watching the WWF since about 1990, my first Raw was the May 6, 1996 episode, featuring Owen Hart vs The Undertaker in the main event.

[Steveweiser]

Mine was some time in 1995, because Sky didn't start showing RAW for the first couple of years (this was when they were a couple of weeks behind on PPVs). I did see match highlights on the recap shows that Sky had at the time.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

I saw the first one...don't recall much, cept the main event.
