Who remembers Thursday RAW Thursday?

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

The title is pretty self-explanitory

[Guest JHawk]

I do.

 

Is there a reason you're asking?

[Guest El Gigante]

I do that was the night HBK delivered his famous "I've lost my smile" speach, and also when Rocky won the IC title.

[Guest Fook_Hing_Ho]

I remember that show. Why you asking?

[Guest Drury37]

Yeah I remember it,I always liked when they would put WWF Raw on Thursdays or Saturdays.Does anyone else remember WWF Friday Night's Main Event from 1997,they had it on for a few weeks while the 1997 U.S. Open was going on which blocked out WWF Raw on Monday's so they put on WWF Friday Night's Main Event and it was on at like 10:00pm.

Thanks.

Friday Night's Main Events were cool, but I've got an even better one...

 

 

Who remembers RAW CHAMPIONSHIP FRIDAY?!?!?!?!

[Guest CanadianChris]

Of course. I mean, it was only 5 years ago. Why?

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Because it had the lamest name EVER.

 

"Thursday RAW Thursday"?

 

Whaaaaaa?

[Guest nWoScorpion]

I'm pretty sure it had another name too, but i can't remember.

[Guest nWoScorpion]

NO! The 1300th post has Jeff Hardy under my avatar. Boo i want a title. lol

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

The other name was Titan Strikes Back. It was called that backstage and on the internet.

Rocky wins the IC title

Shawn loses smile (and was supposed to lose title to Sid)

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

No, he was supposed to lose it to Bret, not Sid at WM 13. Sid had already bombed as champ.

[Guest Frankie Williams]

I wouldnt actually say that they "Struck Back". The show really didnt make much of an impact. I dont understand why because there was a Headbangers vs Bob Holly and Aldo Montoya match.

[Guest converge241]

he was supposed to lose it to Sid on Raw and then regain it to lose to Bret @ 13.

 

Final four was to be Shawn-Sid-Austin-Bret, with the title being defended as opposed to a held up title match.

 

when Shawn-Bret WMME II fell apart then you had the 4 way for the held up title and Austin was to win and job to Sid the next night to set up Sid-Taker and Bret-Austin. Austin hurt his knee in the match and they audibled for Bret to have the quickie reign.

 

Shawn really got out of 2 jobs, one to Sid and one to Bret.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Thanks, for the info.

I still don't understand why it wasn't just Thursday Night RAW.

[Guest Frankie Williams]

I still don't understand why it wasn't just Thursday Night RAW.

Because the WWF was desperate for ratings back then and I guess the thought the name would bring in viewers. If im not mistaken the show only managed a 2.3 rating unopposed which was around what they were doing on Mondays against Nitro.

The I lost my smile interview is still one of the most amusing things I have ever heard.

Maybe i should use that excuse whenver i dont wanna do something at my job.

I cried during that interview. I seriously bought it as legit. Had Shawn's forfeiting the title not led to Chyna joining the WWF, I'da been pissed when I found out.
