This should be a fun trip down memory lane and a great history lesson… Let’s go to the video tape….
-We start in 1993.
-Rob Bartlett…. Where are they now….
-The first match ever in Raw history features High Energy era Koko B Ware vs. Yokozuna (RIP.)
-I should get some of that ICO PRO stuff…..
-A squash for Yoko both literally and figuratively…..
-Interesting little tid bits between segments… Like Damian Dementos Raw record…. Ok, maybe that’s a bad example.
-Next contest featured Mr. Demento vs. The Undertaker.
-Joey Marella is your referee (RIP.)
-Bartlett is trying to hard but he’s gotten off a good crack or 2.
-’Taker wins with the tombstone. Meh.
-Up next is the now famous Ric Flair vs. Mr. Perfect match with both men putting their careers on the line.
-Vince talks about the Sci Fi channel on USA… Foreshadowing….
-Perfect wins with the Perfect-Plex after a lengthy and sometimes underwhelming match. Heenans commentary was gold. And Flair heads off to WCW…..
-They pay tribute to Andre the Giant with a ten-bell salute.
-And here comes the Nacissist in all his tinfoil glory.
-Ah the best vingette ever… Perfect catches his own football pass. Awesome.
-Next match is Luger vs. Jason Knight (AKA The sexiest man alive, in Justin Credibles entourage in ECW.)
-Squash for Luger as you may expect, no idea why it would be on this DVD.
-Up next is the Million Dollar Man vs. Brutus the Barber. Apparently this is Beefcakes first match back after his facial injuries.
-DiBiase gets DQ’d after IRS interferes and they lay the boots to him and lay him out with the briefcase.
-Next we have an interview segment with Vince and Hulk Hogan. An interesting fact they presented before the segment was that Hogan never actually worked a match on Raw until 2002. Hulk isn’t happy with the attack on Beefcake brother…. Beefcake comes out to thank Jimmy Hart for trying to save him… They bring out Hart as their new manager. The Megamaniacs…
-Next match has WWF Champion Bret Hart taking on Headshrinker Fatu.
-Elvis joins Vince and Savage on commentary…?
-Bret gets the win with the Sharpshooter despite interference from Samu….
-Doink makes Koko submit and then has a tete a tete with Elvis… and gives him a pie in the face…..
-Up next we have The Model Rick Martel taking on Mr. Perfect.
-Gum swat. Awesome.
-The finish took place during commercial! Never seen that before, Hennig wins with the Perfect-Plex.
-Next up is Doink vs. Kamala w/ Slick.
-Doink wins by countout, horrid match. Waste of my life.
-Next match features Narcissist Lex Luger vs. Crush. Heenan returns to commentary.
-Luger wins by countout after Crush was distracted by Doink(s). Painfully boring.
-HBK and Hennig brawl outside the Manhattan center damaging the Finks car.
-Up next is a Lumberjack Match. Michaels defends the IC title against Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Spot the Fonzie! He’ll call it right down the middle daddy!
-Michaels comes to the ring on crutches after the brawl outside with Perfect. Hennig shows up and tosses Michaels in the ring proving he is faking the injury and we are underway….
-As usual Michaels bumps his ass off to make Duggan look good.
-Michaels wins by DQ after interference from Hennig. Big lumberjack brawl ensues.
-Next up is Razor Ramon vs. “The Kid.” The infamous match which launches the 123 Kid/Syxx/X-Pac/Sixx-Pac/Sean Waltman.
-Up next is Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty.
-Fonzie is calling this one right down the middle as well.
-Jannetty wins the IC title with an inside cradle, really stellar match.
-Doink vs. Mr. Perfect in a King of the Ring qualifying match.
-Perfect wins with the Perfect-Plex in a surprisingly good match. Afterwards the 2 Doinks beat him down until Crush makes the save.
I don’t really write too much about my life on here, at least not as much as I used to so I want to try to do it a little more.
