BifEverchad Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Just a few questions about the classic Monday Night War.... When did RAW go from being a 1-hour show to a 2-hour show? Also, was it LIVE for the first little while, and then changed to a live one week, taped another routine? As for Nitro, when did it go from being a 2-hr block to an extended THREE hour bock? Thanks, in advance.

Thanks, in advance. WWE had a two hour "Royal Rumble Raw" on 2/3/1997 that was allegedly going to show the entire 1997 Royal Rumble, but wound up being most of the previous week's card from Toronto. 2/13/1997 was Thursday Raw Thursday where HBK lost his smile (which aired live). 2/17 was the first live two hour Raw, and they went through about WrestleMania or so (with the exception of 3/3) live every week before settling into the live one week and taped the next at that point, IIRC. Nitro did a few three hour specials in 1997 before going to three hours weekly in January 1998 (I want to say 1/26 but can't remember for sure).
MillenniumMan831 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 That Royal Rumble Raw BS pissed me off. I was totally psyched to see the RR free but instead they show little clips throughout the show. And not even in order either. That was an awful bait-and-switch.
Si82 Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 Nitro did a few three hour specials in 1997 before going to three hours weekly in January 1998 (I want to say 1/26 but can't remember for sure). It was indeed the 1/26 show that Nitro went to three hours.
