What Was Your Greatest RAW Moment?

[TheOneBigWill]

I've noticed a lot of people bringing up a lot of Steve Austin moments, with the zamboni, beer truck, cement truck, etc. I honestly don't think those are GREAT Raw moments.. but they were funny.

If I had to pick an "Austin" Raw moment, it'd have to be him singing with The Rock going into the Survivor Series where it was the end of the Invasion angle. But as far as wrestling related goes.. I loved in 1998, when Ken Shamrock won a single night tournament to win the Intercontinental Championship.. I love single night tournaments.

Also, I'd have to say Edge winning the W.W.E. Championship on July 3rd, that was huge to me.

But to me, the biggest Raw moment was when Tommy Dreamer & Rob Van Dam came through the crowd during the W.C.W.-W.W.F. angle & turned it into the Invasion of E.C.W. I completely flipped out seeing that, as back then.. I didn't use the computer to spoil what would happen, so that to me, was a huge shock & absolutely great.

1. Stone Cold hosing down Vince, Shane, and The Rock
2. Stone Cold returned during the Invasion Angle. and stunned half the members of the Alliance. JR marking out saying the old Stone Cold is back. That was amazing. Kanyon sold that stunner so great.
3. Kane Unmasking - classic moment
4. Y2J Debuts
5. HHH return at MSG loudest pop I ever heard.

My biggest RAW moments were when Jericho won the title from Triple H and had it taken away. I jumped in the air in excitement when Jericho won.

The Undertaker Jeff Hardy match is another one of my favorite RAW moments.

The Eddie Guerroro/Chris Benoit match on RAW was a classic.

Undertaker coming to RAW after the rumble was a great moment for me as well.

Those are my favorites.

I really liked the Corporate Rumble with Chyna eliminating Vince to win it and get the number 30 entry to the Royal Rumble Match

When Austin had the fake gun and made McMahon piss his pants that was too funny

 

[wwe1581]

I forgot all the impersonations DX of the Nation cuz "The Crock just came from the bathroom and you shoulda smelt what the Crock was cookin" i loved it
then DX of the McMahons i loved Shawn dancing around like Shane O Mac all hilarious

My two favorite moments...

I liked when Shelton Benjamin came to Raw and beat Triple-H. It was so back and forth, such a good match, but above all, the cocky look Shelton had on his face the whole way was priceless.

Also, when the Radicalz showed up. The camera went to the crowd, and you knew it was on when you saw Benoit, Guerrero, Saturn & Malenko. The only thing that took away from it for me was the fact that Shane Douglas wasn't with them, but I didn't know about his history with WWE at the time.

I might be the only one to think it, but...

For me it was the RAW in 2006 when D-X reunited for real.

The 2002 tease broke my heart, and a lot of my friends, too. We didn't want a Shawn/HHH feud. We wanted the real deal, and we felt robbed.

When I saw the 5th member of the spirit squad fly out of the curtain instead of step, and Shawn come out and glare at Vince, all I could think was "Please God, yes.. I've been a good boy. Let it be real this time." The actual save wasn't that great, usual punching, but then Shawn and Hunter did a double high five, turned, and crotch chopped McMahon, and by that point, I had stood up so fast my chair flew out from under me. I'd never been so happy watching WWE television in my life, though I had some close ones. It was indescribable how I felt the next week when DX's music hit and one of them didn't turn on the other.



A very close second would be Ric Flair's win of the IC title. I was "WHOO'ING" all the way to dinner after the PPV.

My personal favorite Raw moment would have to be when Kane unmasked. I know it didn't serve much of a turning point in WWe history, but still it kept me on the edge of my seat. Just seeing his burned face and barely any air, totally unexpected.

 

[michiganj24]

Some of the best moments have been the most shocking or unexpected

1)The count down to Y2J and then him coming out and actually giving as well as he got from the rock. Made him an instant main event level preformer in my book

2) Paul Heyman sitting at the announce booth and just calmly explaining he was there and Lalwer wasnt

3) The Brina Pillman gun incident one of the most bizzare, disturbing and talked about events ever

4) Booker being interviewd and then his eyes bug out staring off and up walks Eric Bischoff the one man I never thought i would see on WWE. And then Booker classic tell me I dint just see that take

5) tie Vince opening Nitro and RAw and after the invasion had crashed and burned and Vince all happy to have won. Bam "Also Sprach Zarathustra" and out walks the Nature Boy and Viince did a triple gulp hilarious

My favorite and most shocking RAW moment was when Mankind won his first WWF title. I remember like it was yesterday, Jim Ross saying, "Mrs Foley's baby boy did it." That was so emotional. Its hard to say this, but I almost missed that great moment in RAW. At the time, I was a die hard WCW fan, the only reason I turned the channel was because Tony Schiavonne gave away the results.

 

[Leem]

Bar none the best raw moment ever was the last raw of 2006.

Rated RKO beating the C r a p out of DX. Orton Smashin' trips head in saying...

He's dying, He's Dying... Then both Orton got Edge to say "How does it feel, How does it feel?!" That was probably the most emotionally passionate attack in the last 5 years. Thats my pick.

 

[Hardinhoff]

1. Owen Tribute Show...enough said.

2. The debut of Brock Lesnar...when he came through the crowd and beat the hell out of Jeff Hardy, I had no clue what I was in store for.

3. The Rock's return in 2003 as a heel...absolutely classic.

4. I know its been mentioned a lot, but the Invasion angle had me on the edge of my seat. Every RAW after the purchase had me glued to the TV wondering,"Who's coming this week?"

5. The Austin/ Zamboni incident...every time I watch that on YouTube, I get goosebumps. With the exception of Triple H's return, I have never heard a pop that loud.

 

[Dodgers562]

My fav would have to be win dx reunited in 06. Also when shawn made his return to raw but as a member of the nwo. As HBK being my favorite wrestler I was shocked when HBK was in the white and black but happy to see him back.

 

[player316]

my favorit would have to be when the undertaker came back and challanged kane at wm 14 that was one of the best undertaker promos of all time

then when the nwo came back that was cool i was at the ppv the night before raw it was nuts just seeing hogan was worth it

 

[wardog1i]

I know these have all already been mentioned, but the top moments in Raw history for me are
1. The DX parody of the nation
2. HHH/Jericho near title switch
3. Cactus Jack v. HHH (the only match in the last few years that has rivaled this match in terms of being solidly entertaining from start to finish is the Matt Hardy/Kennedy match from Smackdown in February or March)
4. Mankind winning the WWE Championship in Springfield MA. Not a great match, but awesome to watch Mick get carried around with the belt.

 

[cptncharisma316]

i kno this was mentioned, but when dx impersonated the nation. that moment was an instant classic... thinkin of it now, its just bitter sweet only because the late great Owen Hart was one of the guys ribbed on, but still, it was entertaining and exciting, and it took the feud to a far more personal level.

 

[KyleCobra]

In no order....

Jericho beating Triple H for the strap..and then having the decision reversed moments later...one of the loudest pops i have ever heard

the begining of the invasion angle....it was finally happening..if only I knew the disappointment..

Benoit, Guerrero, Saturn and Malenko debut

Mankinds first title win..Austins interference had another eardrum splitting pop

The Rock throwing Austins belt and Austin himself over the edge of the bridge

Of course the Corporate beer bath
