The Kid had appeared on TV for a while now, always losing matches left and right. Perennial superstar Razor Ramon was throwing the Kid around the ring like a rag doll. Perhaps never more than one fateful night on May 17, 1993. Back in those days especially, it rang true. He often screamed “Welcome to Monday Night Raw, where ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!“ It wasn’t just a throwaway comment, either. But here are my top 5 moments from 25 years of Monday Night Raw.īack then Vince McMahon was an on-air commentator. Chris Jericho’s countdown debut interrupting The Rock. Pee Wee Herman and The Miz trading verbal jabs on the mic. Goldberg’s touching speech the night after WrestleMania 33. The retirement speeches of Ric Flair and Edge.
The night Mick Foley (AKA Mankind) won the WWF Championship. There have been many epic moments in the history of Monday Night Raw. TOP 5 RAW MOMENTS Thanks for the memories, RAW But I still keep up with the product if nothing else out of habit and to relish those fleeting genuinely great moments that gets me jumping out of my seat like I’m five years old all over again. It’s way too much to consume these days yadda yadda insert bitter old timer wrestling fan rant here. The show also went from one hour to three hours over the years. Nowadays Raw is held in much larger venues and often has crowds of 15,000 or so. It was an intimate venue and there was a raw energy (pardon the pun) to the whole show. The very first episode of Monday Night Raw emanated from the Manhattan Center in New York on January 11, 1993. It kinda makes one feel old, eh? Although the actual 25th anniversary show was admittedly a bit of a flop, it did bring back to mind a ton of fond Raw memories. These guys and gals have entertained me and millions of others over the past quarter century. 25 straight years of weekly episodic TV is nothing to sneeze at. Having just recently reviewed WWF Royal Rumble, I can’t think of a better time to look at the sequel, WWF Raw, than right now.Ĭongratulations to Vince McMahon and the entire crew. In addition, the 31st annual Royal Rumble was held last night so let’s just say I am in a WWE state of mind. Many iconic old wrestling legends made special guest appearances for the big birthday bash. WWE’s flagship show, Monday Night Raw, celebrated 25 years this past Monday.
