I have to say that I LOVE this seasons idea and I hope it continues. Wait a minute, what is the deal with the menu music?
So long Prime Time Wrestling, it’s time to get RAW!
With every new chapter, they give us random Raw factoids that most wrestling nerds will probably know. Read the rest of this entry
From the Vault: Shawn Michaels DVD
WWE – From The Vault: Shawn Michaels
Released: 6/24/2003
Two-Disc Set
To get you pumped up for the THIRD Shawn Michaels DVD set in almost seven years which will release on March 9, I’m planning on reviewing the first two releases and then hopefully the most recent one starting on Tuesday. Half of this set has already been completed by me and what hasn’t been completed is EXTREMELY awesome (HBK/Taker hell in a cell and HBK/HHH street fight), so here it goes. Read the rest of this entry

Thursday Raw Thursday (02.13.97)
Thursday Raw Thursday
February 13, 1997
Lowell, MA
Memorial Auditorium
LIVE!
The current WWF champs were as follows:
World Champion: Shawn Michaels (1/19/1997)
Intercontinental Champion: Hunter Hearst Helmsley (10/21/1996)
World Tag Team Champions: Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith (9/22/1996)
Since the dog show interrupted Monday Night Raw’s regular timeslot and left WCW’s flagship program completely unopposed considering I highly doubt too many wrestling fans wanted to see which person’s dog took home the gold or whatever happens on those things, the WWF and the USA network fought back with a stacked card just three days before the next In Your House PPV with their own completely unopposed one-night-only wrestling program – THURSDAY RAW THURSDAY!
And they start us off with a bomb shell… “Tonight, the World Wrestling Federation Title will be declared vacant. Thus, this Sunday’s ‘Final Four’ winner will become the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. Tonight…live…Shawn Michaels will forfeit the World Wrestling Federation Championship.”
Your hosts are Vince McMahon, Good Ol’ JR, and Jerry “The King” Lawler. Read the rest of this entry

So WCW does a Monday night dome show, now the WWF does one too? Vince wastes no time in taking a moment to brag that it’s the biggest live audience for a Monday night show that no one is watching.
Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Good Ol’ JR. Read the rest of this entry
