Favorite Raw Memory

[Montana]

In Lieu of the IWF DVD contest, i figured i'd make a related thread.

What is your favorite Raw Memory or memories? I have a ton so i'll list a few.

- Mr Perfect vs. Ric Flair loser leaves Raw from the 3rd Monday Night Raw. One of my favorite matches of all time. Great pyschology, and Bobby Hennan at his finest.

- Stone Cold ramming the Zamboni in the ring and pouncing on Vince Mcmahon. I was there live and that place was rocking!

- CM Punk cashing in MITB.

- Chris Jericho defeats HHH to win the belt.

- HBK beats John Cena in a one hour classic.

- Undertaker vs. Jeff Hardy Ladder Match

- Marty Jannetty Returns to challenge HBK for the IC Belt

- 123 Kid defeats Razor Ramon

Bonus:

My favorite snack to watch Raw with growing up was Pizza Rolls

I was once grounded from Wrestling/Raw in the 90's due to poor grades. Damn you middle school.

Can't remember anything atm so heres one i guess

1. Following SS, RAW announced Cena would be out a few months due to an injury from Batista.
I was ecstatic.

 

[The Small Show]

^ You are so stupid. Cena gone from WWE is terrible.

One of my favourite moments from the early-2000s is the "ZOMG JERICHO WON THE BELT.. OH NO, HE DIDN'T!". I have to say, I've seen the match and the events afterwards on YouTube and it's entertaining. HBK/Cena in a one hour match was also very impressive.

 

[imported_Adam]

Cena gone from WWE back then wasn't terrible because seeing him fight with Batista and everyone else and always win really was piss off annoying..

The 2005 'Gold Rush' tourney - I don't remember this :S.

Jericho's debut, and return (1999 and 2008) - Pure awesomeness. One of my favourite debut/returns ever.

 

[Montana]

The Shelton Benjamin vs. HBK match was from the Gold Rush tournament to determine the #1 contender 2005.

Definitely Austin's beatdown on Booker T at Froggymart

Also anytime The Rock and Austin would sing together

 

[The Small Show]

@ Montana: I've seen the contest on the opener of RAW but I've never seen the match. Was the contest just between those two?

I also would mention the moment where McMahon got blown up in the limo. At the time, It was a "WOAH" moment and considering it was 4am and didn't have my laptop in hand, I took it as a "Was this actually supposed to happen?" I was 10 at the time and it freaked me out.

Also, Orton punt kicking Mr. McMahon early last year. It was right in the middle of Vince/Steph firing people (Jericho had got fired the week earlier) and it appeared as though Orton was getting sacked also. He punted Vince a second before he was supposedly going to be fired. It was a shocking moment and the start of a good feud between Orton and HHH. It was one of the moments where the Viper character began.

 

[imported_Adam]

Dude, i don't expect that you would have known at the time that Vince wasn't really dead and that they had pre-recorded that and they wouldn't show someone dieng on TV. But i don't like the way you said "fired" because nobody was ever really fired.. he appeared the week he was supposed to have been fired so never even missed any time. And this is arguable but i do believe the Viper character began long before last years McMahons and HHH and Batista vs. Orton and Legacy feud.

Also heres some of mine:

Cryme Tyme begins selling peoples things (Ron Simmons Hummer, Viscera's steak, etc.)
Cryme Tyme sells fake Royal Rumble numbers to Eugene and others, and a fake "The Scream" to Ron Simmons
Cryme Tyme visits the old folks home
ONS 2005
Lawler kisses his own foot- never saw the match at the time but saw a reply later.
Cryme Tyme shows videos of how they train to get into the WWE
Stone Cold putting a fake gun to McMahon's head that read "Bang" "3:16"

 

[The Small Show]

I forgot about Cryme Tyme selling a Rumble number to Eugene. A few more:

Stone Cold pulls a gun on Vince McMahon.

Kane Loses the WWE belt.

DX immitating Vince & Shane McMahon.

Edge & Lita's Live Sex celebration.

 

[imported_Adam]

Kane Loses the WWE belt.

When this happened i felt it was more sad than memorable, he held it only for a day lol .

 

[The Small Show]

^ Yeah.

It shows how much he's changed and improved. I think Kane should have got the belt in 2003 when he did a heel monster gimmick (First time without the mask). I also think that Kane didn't deserve the belt back then but I do prefer him to grab the belt now. Some more ideas:

Bret Hart returns to Raw.

Ric Flair's farewell from WWE.

WWE Draft Lotterry 2002.
