- The Steve Austin/Bret Hart streetfight that ended with Bret being taken away in an ambulance. In fact the whole show, topped with the return of Brian Pillman, was awesome.

- The Mick Foley interviews with Jim Ross.

- The debut of Dude Love.

- The Mike Tyson/Steve Austin brawl.

- The Owen Hart tribute show.

- The debut of Chris Jericho.

- The Radicalz debut.

- The 24/7 Hardcore Championship rule.

- The Raw/Nitro simulcast.

- The return of ECW.

- The debut of Eric Bischoff.

 

There will be more no doubt but that's all I can think of right now.

Jannetty beating HBK / Kid beating Razor

The aftermath of the Bret / Sid cage match

The Hart Foundation forming in 97

Jericho beating Triple H for the title

RVD & Dreamer debuting in Atlanta, which led to the return of ECW in 01

[Hank Kingsley 0]

Mankind beating Rock for the title. Even though I had read the spoilers (I seem to remember wwf.com even posting the result?) it's still probably my all-time favorite Raw moment. From the Corporate/DX brawl to the crowd going absolute apeshit for Austin to the celebration, it was perfection.

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

In no order:

-Sid getting the night off.

-Michaels passing out after Owen's enziguri.

-Pillman/Austin gun incident

-Sabu diving off the Raw sign in 97

-The Bret/Sid cage match from March 97

-Bret turning heel.

-Bret reforming the Hart Foundation

-Paul Bearer screaming "Kane is alive!"

-Rocky joining the Nation.

-Owen joining the Nation

-Vince cutting an unreal promo on Dude Love encouraging him to make the sacrifice to fight Terry Funk later on that evening.

-Terry Funk introducing Scorpio as his tag partner.

- In the, I think second to last Raw before KOTR 98, there was an exceptionally fun last half-hour which featured a Tag Royal Rumble, including a great last mini-match between Funk/Scorpio vs Mankind and Kane. My moment, howeer goes to after the Rumble, in which Austin and Kane fought atop the Hell in the Cell, and Undertaker had Bearer locked inside and beat the crap out of him. This is by far my most favourite 'forgotten' Raw moment. JR's hype of Austin when the glass broke was exceptional.

-Also that summer, the last Raw before it was revealed that Taker and Kane were in cahoots, when Austin dragged Kane (in Taker's clothes, but with the Kane mask on), to a hearse, which the Undertaker had locked and then drove off in.

-Mankind's title win.

-Raw is Owen

-From Raw in Toronto in Feb. '99. Vince had Austin tied in the ropes and began mimicking him.

-Austin disrupts Tyson.

-Vince's speech with all the roster in the ring after he fired Austin the previous night.

-ECW reforms in 2001

- Heyman shows up to protest the ECW Funeral in '05.

 

Fuck, that's a lot, isn't it? Sorry.

I actually just referenced it that very thought in "Best Wrestling Quotes". I'll repost my favourite:

 

Vince: Austin! You know what that was like for me? AUSTIN! IT WAS BETTER THAN SEX!

Lawler: WHOA! THAT'S GOOD, JR!

JR: He's wicked!!!!!

 

EDIT: It's CG, on Baron's again. My bad.

If you liked that Raw, try and find the movie Swimming With Sharks. The plot was taken from the movie,

Though I never saw it, a guy I know loves that night, for, mostly, Kanyon's "Who better than Austin" shirt that night.

Was this the one where Randy Orton botched the go over the top rope but hang on and land on the apron spot? Remember when the women's match was the MOTN?

The first ever Austin/McMahon 'match', with Dude Love's interference. Weird to think back then how much that match really meant something, or seemed to really mean something, at the time where as now the authority figure character's been so over-used. The build towards the 'match' was great. Plus, Dude Love.

 

DX's impression of The Nation.

 

The Outlaws joining DX during the Cage Match with Cactus/Funk. Plus, the Foley "It's not worth it anymore" promo from the week after.

 

Also, the Radicals 10 Man Tag and Kane's return.

The one where Angle sang the Jimmy Crack Corn song.

That was officially the point where the Austin-Rock rivalry transcended the level of being a normal feud. Just surreal to watch.

 

And by the way, Austin's heel goatee was officially out of control here. Just awesome.

Shawn Michaels promo the night after Survivor Series 1997.

*vomits*

 

That said, er, done.....Raw from Montreal in August '05 was a classic moment, and probably a top 10 Raw moment ever.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Yeah, that was the one where HBK was in the ring doing a promo against Hogan, and then Bret Hart's music started playing, right? And then, later on, Hogan's music played and even he didn't come out either...that was classic heel dickery from HBK.

The same night as the duet...November 12, 2001...was when Foley did his "shoot" on the WWF. I found my tape of the show.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Don't know if it was mentioned yet, but Road Dogg and Billy Gunn shoving the dumpster with Mick Foley and Terry Funk off the ramp was a pretty huge moment.

And then at the PPV were Mankind and Funk won the tag belts. Awesome stuff.

 

 

My favourite moment had to be the Triple H Steve Austin feud during 00-01 I believe and Triple H cut an awesome promo on Austin.

I was going to mention that, but as a 13 year old mark, I was horrified.

I enjoy almost every show from the spring/summer/fall of 98...

 

- Mick Foley vs. Terry Funk

- Zamboni Incident

- Austin is fired/Austin stalks McMahon

- The first real appearance of Shane McMahon, saying he re-hired Austin

- Taker/Kane break Vince's ankle/leg after he flips both of them off.

- Mr. Socko meets Vince

- Austin attacks Vince in the hospital

- Cement + Vince's Car

 

 

I'm sure there is so much more I'm forgetting in the build-up to SurSer 98 and subsequently Mankind defeating The Rock for the title in probably my favorite Raw moment of all.

I dont know why...But it seems like I remember this happening on Superstars...If I'm wrong..Im almost certain someone was Pillmanized on Superstars..I may be thinking of the Raw recap though...

[Dobbs 3K 0]

I was thinking the same thing. I thought that happened on Superstars as well.
