As an Italian, I would like to mention the April 16th 2007 episode of RAW that took place in Milan cause it has so much importance for us Italians

[@zanethind]

The debut of Santino Marella

[@Brightest_day727]

The commentary on vinces costume...bravo.

[@bobbywoods8305]

Yes. He looked goofy as hell to begin with.😂

[@timbartschwolfman]

Nice use of the Raw Theme From Papa Roach "To Be Loved" for the intro

[@ovidiuz34]

Mr Mcmahon appreciation night 😂😂 that aged well

[@johnnydropkicks]

Agreed… but it already aged poorly two weeks later.

[@schnarfschnarf5886]

Kayfabe

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Vince needs another one

[@natediaz1863]

He still deserves appreciation. You simp losers are ruining everything.

[@Blaiyan]

It aged perfectly fine

[@dickeyboyenglishnotbritish2462]

mate that ending with the DX THEME and rage against the machine theme what a remix!!! Very well done lad :D

[@plain_simple_garak]

How sad is it that Rage Against the Machine became Rage on Behalf of the Machine in their old age. I miss these days

Raw roulette just a fun different episode

[@zanethind]

Yeah they were it kept things fresh and interesting. I wish they brang it back tbh

OMG, I love that DX-Rage cut at the end! Everybody thought Rage did DX’s theme when I was a kid.

[@christopherbaker9676]

Chris Warren and Zack sound alot alike. I thought the same till summerslam with HHH and the Rock ladder match

[@JPD2587]

Monday Night Raw on TSN was gigantic in 1997. It practically became the networks flagship program over hockey and baseball and everything else. Wrestling personalities were on TSN talk shows every week.

[@AllieRX]

There was also the April 1, 2002 episode of RAW, which was the first post-Draft RAW. Then the May 6, 2002 episode, which was the first RAW under the WWE name.

[@ComaAlpha]

I'm sorry, but I'm perfectly capable of celebrating the man's career without even acknowledging his final moments of life. Eddie and Chris standing tall at the end of WMXX will always be one of my favorites moments in wrestling history.

[@WickedFireBird69]

I still can't fathom a world where Raw isn't on Monday Nights. It feels like a real ending of a generation.

[@thisisnotachannel]

Same... And I haven't watched the WWF even once since 2004. It is the end of an era, to be sure.

[@christophernicholson20]

It's taking a while to get use to not watching it anymore. I know it did for me it's not the same anymore especially nowadays

[@gagemartin7207]

It’s just not gonna be on tv nothing about it being moved to another day

[@dwightyboy5324]

​@@gagemartin7207very true. Just weird knowing it's not gonna be on tradition TV anymore

[@Adam_Outdoors]

It's still going to be on Monday nights. Nothing is changing.

[@DJDoubleCee]

RAW IS Owen really got to me. That’s when his death from the previous night sunk in for me 😕

[@mongomongo7664]

[@roccojamison89gooker51]

Just don't move Wrestling Bios to Netflix.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Smackdown gonna be on USA and nxt on cw. Raw on Netflix

[@Brightest_day727]

How the mighty have fallen

[@godfather71190]

It's really not shocking streaming is overtaking cable

[@bdot187um]

Raw homecoming was such a great show that doesn't get talked about enough.

[@therealangelalexander1858]

Tremendous video. Do recommend to anyone who sees this that they check out William Regals podcast episode where he talked about the benoit tribute episode. He was walking in the room to give his thoughts while JBL was walking by him, where Regal says that JBL stopped and asked him if he thought Chris had anything to do with what happened over that weekend. This curbed Regals initial thought process , who was going to praise benoit more thoroughly - which is how we get the awkward and kinda unnerving interview with Regal that we got. I remember hearing rumblings wwe found out partway through the show about what really happened at the benoit residence but I don't know if that was confirmed or not.

[@Ramiro1993]

I remember watching that eddie Guerrero raw episode live as a kid crying the whole time.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

I remember someone told me at school and I didn’t believe them

[@MrDarksoul5532]

Suprised that the few raw shows in 97 that had ECW didn't make the cut. Hopefully they will. Great job as usual.

[@chrisanarchia7620]

I'm also surprised that the WWE Vs. ECW Showdown or the ECW Funeral wasn't featured

[@geekysteved]

@@chrisanarchia7620 The Showdown was a special on a Tuesday

[@kevynhansyn2902]

Man there was no Specials for the year of 2000? Such a shame. But it was a highlight of the era's of Wrestling. "New Generation", "Attitude", and "Toothless Agression".

[@timbartschwolfman]

On Peacock and the Network The Jun 25th 2007 Episode of Raw is a Clip Show for the international feed

[@ShaunInce123]

I actually remember watching the last WCW Nitro episode live. It was such a surreal experience.

[@straingedays]

And in 2001, I had no internet. So it hit like a truck !! in Oz we got Raw on Tuesday, and Nitro every Friday

[@robintst]

I remember being excited that it happened because I was always a WWF guy at heart despite watching both but in my shortsightedness and immaturity I didn't realize it was going leave us with a product that would steady degrade in quality and become complacent without any viable competition at the same level for 20+ years.

[@mattlewis8889]

More bios is always fine by me.

[@mikewilson8600]

I like the shot of Jerry putting on the “rubber” glove next to criminal McMahon because in his next possible home nothing rubber will be used.

[@Joecbg100]

Vince's look at Lawler with the glove on that Halloween Raw is.....beautiful. Future, pal!

Man those Tribute to the Troops events feel real haunting now

[@babyfacespod]

I always thought the 10th anniversary show was pretty neat for whatever reason, thought they’d keep doing things like that!

[@arrowdave646]

The first RAW show in Atlanta in 1999, over 35,000 were there, finally broke thru WCW''s homebase

[@brandonperkins176]

It wasn't too long after I started watching. My first was the night after WrestleMania 24, Ric Flair's retirement night.

[@89Wrathchild]

Great video, as always WB. I'm sure you get asked this question a lot, but do you have any plans once Reliving the War is done? Would you consider weekly Raw and Smackdown reviews? I know I'd definitely watch. PS: That Rage Against the Machine/DX remix was fantastic!

[@Gannooch]

BTW, the reason why those Friday Nights Main Event shows were due to the US Open Tennis games. The Dog Shows air in February.

[@dontbesuchamorty]

Every episode of Wrestling Bios is a special one to me, mate 🎉

Who knew Finn Bálor would pay tribute to “Pumpkin Doc Hendrix” all those years later!

[@robintst]

I still have the Raw Bowl episode on a videotape somewhere, I also used that tape to record a couple episodes of the Mega Man cartoon. 😅 Also, yes, the 1997-1998 basic iterations of the Raw Is War set and the overall visual theme they went with will forever be the best look the show ever had. It literally never looked more "raw."

[@brandeezyc]

I always marked so hard when The Patriot showed up on my TV. Guy was better than he gets credit for

[@mtbelley]

I think the Raw after Sept 11 was something that should have been mentioned.

[@michaelkeller5927]

The one right after 9/11 was a smackdown. Was the raw a big deal too? I don't remember it being a big deal

[@mtbelley]

the purchase of WCW was the worst thing that coulda happened for wrestling as a whole, but the fans n wrestlers alike suffered the most.

Can’t forget the commercial free Raw from June in 2009 in part 2

[@mclew1234]

The end of Raw is OWEN is so powerful & showed how much Owen was respected and loved, and the fact Austin managed to portray all that without saying a word.

[@cxgrosskreutz7213]

I liked Raw Roulette and watching this Video reminded me how I still would like to know what a "It's legal in Nevada Match" is.

[@Kingof69ner]

Did you know the March 10th, 1997 episode of Raw aka 1st Raw Is War was also the 200nd episode of Monday Night Raw?

[@TheBDT87]

The first ever Raw in Japan was something! But how about the first every Raw in the U.K.? in Manchester. As you know before then they did house shows and Sky Box office PPVs when they came to the U.K., when they finally brought Raw and SmackDown I was so happy. I was there at the first ever SmackDown, the Undertaker showed up but wasn’t shown on TV. I’ve been to a few but my favourite and one of the best shows was in Manchester, Raw (forgot what year) when DX was there and trying to get tickets to get in to Raw. Amazing!

[@louisvelez40]

Vince's costume on the Halloween episode exemplifies where he should be right now, how appropriate

[@derekrichardson9105]

Because when you think roulette, you think Salt Lake City.😆

The Friday Night's Main Event specials were rebadged as Raw episodes outside the States, so they do count depending on where a viewer lives.
