Best Raw Ever

But then again back then I had no clue what would later happen to them and I took for granted that they would be in the wwf for a long time. My only hope is for wwe 24/7 to provide us with these raws once again. But yes, great columns. Thanks for pointing them out to me.

Nope, Bret got counted out because of HBK and Chyna. This was during the Raw's when DX seemed to be getting the advantage over the Hart's every week. That was also the Raw where HBK put the flag up his nose.

But then the next week during an HBK/Owen match, Bret Hart comes storming out with passion after the ref got bumped and lit up HBK with lefts and rights. Every time I watch that, I mark out.

Zen check out that Rob Feinstein thread. I posted a site in thier about a guy who sells tapes. He has a 5 Vol Hart Foundation Collection. It's so awesome, it has everything they did from 97. If you're interested in purchasing those tapes, he's got them.

Nah man, I am referring to the match they had back in march of 1997. I have the tape of the one you are referring to though..HBK super kicks Hart outside on the floor after Hart went after chyna.
And yes, seeing Hart pummel HBK like that is divine.

Checking that out immediately.

Thanks for all these tips.

Lots of great raws in there. A listing of each raw and every match, along with interviews and all that for the entire year of 1997..it's dead on.

you find the Hart Foundation comps?

Some of my favorite RAWs were the Owen tribute show, the night that the censors were abscent when Bret Hart used "shit" about 4 or 5 times after losing that steel cage match against Sycho Sid and pushing Vince McMahon on his ass, the Draft Lottery, alot of others.

But one of them that I will never forget was in November of 1996, when Brian Pillman pulled a gun on Stone Cold Steve Austin when Austin was trying to get into Pillman's house (I forget the exact date, I know it was 2 weeks before the Survivor Series that year). That was the first time I saw the WWE try something as risky as that, and I loved that. Very unexpected and unpredictable. Too bad some people were upset at that move. but I think if that didn't happen, we would've never seen a boom of wrestling later on, since that one incident paved the way for the other risque stuff to happen, in my mind.

The episode featuring the Radicals and The Rock vs. DX, the night after Royal Rumble 2000 I believe.

That match, for me, was one of the best ever because in one night the WWE gave Benoit, Guerrero, Malenko and Saturn the spotlight that they were never given for nearly 5 years in WCW.
