Raw 10th Anniversary Special: Shame On WWE For This
Raw 10th Anniversary
Date: January 14, 2003
Location: The World, New York City, New York
Hosts: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler
The opening video is a mashup of all the old intros to WWF programing in the last ten years. Nice touch.
The #10 moment is This Is Your Life Rock. That should be WAY higher, as in like top three at worst.
Moment #8 is Shane on Nitro, ending the Monday Night Wars once and for all. Again, this should have been higher.
Moment #7 is the debut of Mr. Socko and Austin disguised as the doctor to beat up Vince. The greatness of the bed pan shot to the head is canceled out by Vince being anally raped with an IV.
Jannetty vs. Michaels for the Intercontinental Title
HHH vs. Cactus Jack
Owen Hart vs. British Bulldog for the first European Title
Austin/HHH vs. Benoit/Jericho for the tag titles
Austin vs. Angle for the WWF Title in 2001
Any of those are better than the rest of the nominees combined. TLC was NOTHING but most of the people in it are there so it wins an award. That sums up the entire problem with this show.
Moment #3 is Rock challenging Hogan for Wrestlemania 18. This still gives me chills but it has no business being this high on the list.
Moment #1 is the Austin beer bath of the Corporation. Yeah, seriously. Allegedly these were selected by fans but WWE fans are smarter than this. Edge presents it and brings the rest of the roster to the stage for a bow to end the show.
