Since I'm a masochistic sack of shit and seem to have a high tolerance level for old wrestling that is simultaneously bad and hilarious, here I am. I'm going to be watching the first 1000 episodes of RAW, for your pleasure and for my misery. For a quick rundown of all the hullabaloo, that is approximately 19 years' worth of Monday Night RAW. From January 1993 to June 2012, this is gonna be a nightmarish experiment and we'll just see how long I even hold out for this. This isn't gonna be anything real extensive, just some quick thoughts and then a match rating for the show, because I'd rather not be stuck having to potentially hang myself over thinking too hard about this awful awful undertaking. I won't say that it at least won't be entertaining.
A major caveat however is that I will probably be skipping over Raw is Owen, Eddie Guerrero's Tribute, and the highlight packages that have replaced Chris Benoit's tribute, as a matter of principle. While these are very much legendary episodes, I don't think they are really worth having to re-experience again for the sake of this, but I will simply give a match listing and perhaps a rating. No real commentary to them, because they're either episodes created after the fact of someone's death or were re-written entirely post-airing for the sake of expediency and public relations. You know the drill.
Additionally, at the end of my little write-up for each episode, I will be declaring my verdict for each episode and whether I would recommend watching it or not. There will be three verdicts for the episode: "SKIP", obviously meaning I do not think the episode is worth watching in any capacity. Then there is "DISCRETION", which I would recommend watching only because there are some good things worth watching. Finally, there is "MUST-SEE", my opinion being the episode as a whole is worth watching and there are very few dead spots in the episode.
