Has the biggest most insane pop you'll ever see when Austin come out, has just an amazing emotional moment with Mick getting that wwf title win. To boot it's part of the infamous Bischoff fuck up of driving viewers to Raw by spoiling the match on Nitro and to make it even better remember that this is also the same night as The Finger Poke of Doom. Putting all this together it is to me easily the Greatest Moment in Raw History

I got four words for ya:

"WHAT'S MY NAME, BITCH?!?"

Jericho's debut was a true mark out moment. When his name flipped up on the tron, the place went fucking bananas. So ready to like this guy was everyone, that he INTERUPTED THE FUCKING ROCK (instant heel check), and insulted the crowd and his new place of employment, and the fans in attendance still raised their filthy, fat little hands in the air and chanted "GO, JERICHO, GO!"

lol at Test's reaction at 11:26

I definitely agree that Mankind winning the championship was the biggest Raw moment.

Seriously Laura you have no taste in best moments..

Their are a shit load of great Raw moments....

This one being the greatest of all time no questions asked.

Ya, the beer truck popped in my mind immediately. Either that or the "Bedpan McMahon" video with Vince/Foley/Austin.

DX impersonating the Nation
Jericho debut
Nexus destroys raw

Or even this one, probably one of the more finest moments.

There are several but this is the best recent one:

I'm going to have to go with Trish Stratus seducing Bubba Ray Dudley via table upkeep tips.

Nexus' debut has to be top 10, probably top 5 for me.

Definitely a dark horse moment, but HBK is incredible here. :y:

Jericho 'winning' the title from Triple H.

Oh good one I marked like crazy, even called my cousin (and I hate phones), only to have to call him back and be like nevermind lol

Fucking hell the crowds reaction is insane..

I'm not going to answer as my favorite moment, but it what I think was an overall Best Moment.

I want to agree Mankind/Rock for the World Title because it just defined the Attitude era. DX/Corporation, Austin and Foley. The crowd was fucking red hot and the whole thing with Schivonie's comments just tops it off. Just one of those wrestling moments that' just on another level.

Honrable mentions

The night after Mania 14 with the rebirth of DX

Batista turning on HHH (thumbs down)

Nexus debut on Raw

The 10 man tag match with Radicals/DX vs Top Babyfaces and Kane comes out. Crowd was hot

The nWo beating the shit out of The Rock and running him over with a truck

The night ECW joined the Invasion in 2001


There's a lot of other good moments, but these stand out to me. I'm probably forgetting a couple more

The Jericho thing isn't up there because it was a false win, so that kills it as being great

I remember watching RAW since the very beginning, so here's my favorite moments...

1993: 5/17, Marty Jannetty returns and defeats Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental title.
1994: 7/11, Bret Hart vs. 1-2-3 Kid for the WWF Championship.
1995: 8/21, Davey Boy Smith turns heel (I never thought he would turn).
1996: 11/4, The Brian Pillman-Steve Austin Gun Incident.
1997: 9/22, Steve Austin stuns Vince McMahon for the very first time.
1998: 10/5, Calling Dr. Austin!!!
1999: 8/9, Chris Jericho debuts.
2000: 1/31, The Radicalz debut.
2001: 7/9, The Invasion angle begins.
2002: 11/25, HBK vs. RVD, although I hate it when HHH interfered.
2003: 5/12, The Road Warriors return to wrestle Kane and RVD.
2004: 2/23, Victoria wins Womens' title.
2005: 3/14, The Rockers reunite.
2006: 7/3, DX's 4th of July party.
2007: 11/19, Chris Jericho returns.
2008: 6/9, Chris Jericho turns heel.
2009: 2/23, The announcement of Ricky Steamboat in the Hall Of Fame.
2010: 3/28, Shawn Michaels' retirement speech.

What crowd reaction? What Jericho thing?? That one that never happened???Must be bad shooping on that vid.

The Rocks recent return.

Kurt Angle's Milk Truck.

Rock and Jericho Backstage promo with Michael Cole.

Not the greatest by a long way but one of my personal favourites was when they teased the NAO joining The Corporation, having them come out wearing suits, only to reveal they were with DX all along.

Basically any DX/Corporation segments are favourites of mine.

Austin and Booker in the grocery store

Radicals debut

Jericho debut

ECW re-formation with Heyman promo

Austin beats Kane for title

Just some of my fav's. Also pretty much any Austin/Angle segments.

Austin/Booker was SmackDown!.

Not the greatest moment but definitely awesome...this surprised even my smark self. Giant wtf moment! :y:

Edit - Dinsmore priceless here.

Meat Loaf taking a RKO was one of my favorite RAW moments. Love me some Adday.

It's tough to pick ONE moment as the best ever, but I'm going with Bret Hart officially turning heel.

This was a very important moment in RAW history, launching one of the best storylines ever in WWE history, USA vs Canada.

I would also love to add the brief feud between Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan in 2005 as well.

Just the ones I've been at personally I would say last year when HBK/Hart shook hands in Dayton, when Joey Styles "quit" the announce team in Columbus at the start of ecw, and Rock vs RVD for the wcw title in Columbus.

I cant find the video but when Linda and Steph name Austin CEO of WWF, the pop from the crowd was insane.

All the best ones have been said, and Foley winning the title is probably my favorite wrestling moment period. So I just thought I'd add a novelty one.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hEan8b3PPX4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I love this moment because nobody cheers or boos. The entire crowd is just "Oh shit no fucking way" shocked. And I was too.

The confrontation in the middle of the ring between Vincent Kennedy McMahon, Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman. I don't remember the exact date but I want to say it was during the buildup for One Night Stand I.

I had goosebumps the entire time. The three heads of the three biggest wrestling promotions of the biggest era for professional wrestling in history, standing together inside the ring for the very first time. Amazing.

I don't have access to YouTube, but I would love to post the video for others (Rep if someone else does it for me.)

This might be the best opening segment in Raw history.

I guess mine would have to be Bret Hart turning heel in 97...

May not be the greatest moment, but one of my favorites. Also around that time when Austin kidnapped Mcmahon. "Mcmahon 3:16 says I just pissed my pants."

nitro beating the shit out of it for 2 years

ok, heyman is kinda a fucking badass

im a wcw fanboy btw
