Let's watch an old Raw and talk about it.
>Starts with an 15 minute promo with HHH
The more things change the more they stay the same.
D. Lo Brown vs Jeff Jarrett
Dime drawer
>>2304970
>PPV match between JJ and Goldust
>If Goldust wins Debra has to strip
>If Goldust loses he has to strip
>Why would JJ take that bet...
Also no idea who is the heel and face in this match, Mark Henry did a cheap shot on JJ while he was distracted while JJ is wearing a don't piss me off shirt and acted healish.
>Russo
Also match has been awful, D-Lo had a nice spot and got a chant but just absolutely no psychology with Debra's interruptions
WHO WANTS SOME WWF COLOGNE AND PERFUME!!
Early Brood vs Headbangers match randomly interrupted by a bunch of jobbers and Luna
this could be a nice idea, somebody put up a watch together and pick up a RAW or Smack
>>2305001
>Bunch of jobbers.
I forgot about the Oddities.
>>2305010
It also had no resolution - they just cut to Mankind in the back talking to chairs.
Goldust vs newly unretired Owen Hart.. think that brings our dead person count up to 5 at least now (Chyna, Luna, Earthquake/Golga, Paul Bearer, and Owen)
Forgot that Goldust had the entire Gold come down from the rafters entrance. They need to do more shit like that today, even pyro doesn't happen anymore.
>>2305009
Dunno how that works m8 sorry
>Debra gets back at sexual harassment with counter sexual harassment
>King "standing at attention there"
>Distraction leads to a roll up victory for Goldust somehow
>Russo
raw from 1997-2004 was unwatchable
>>2305022
WWE isn't fun with entrances anymore. It's why people like Bray's so much, because it's actually different.
Holy shit an actual /lifelong/ Lester fan as D-Lo Brown walks the streets
"I have European bloodline" - D'Lo confirmed for /int/ poster
>>2305022
host a room in cytube, and then upload what you want others to watch or copy and paste a link from other sites. after that link the room here, it's how /pol/ and /v/ do it
Alright boys it's a segment with Val Venis and Godfather.. actually a good pairing. Godfather is his hoes to an audience member, anyone know who this plant is?
Here comes the Acolytes
>>2305066
>Match doesn't even start
>Segment doesn't even end
>Just cuts to Austin out back
>Austin segment
Amazing how over he is here
>>2305063
I'm just streaming from The Network™ so someone can host another one if they want though if they have the download. Could be cool to do it at a specific time and go through shit in chronological order.
>>2305038
I actually remember this video promo. D'Lo going round London in a limo, think it was No Mercy 98 UK PPV?
>>2305081
A Capital Carnage - just walking around, then they showed some clips and fans having fun.
Standard Austin vs Taker promo.. you know this was a huge feud in the Attitude Era that really did nothing and has few great memories/moments. Nothing like Rock vs Austin or even HHH vs Austin.
>Tiger Ali Singh vs Blackman match
>Blackman wins out of the blue on a drop kick
>Gets beat up by Owen after
>Now it's a Mark Henry vs Droz match
>Few weeks after the entire Road Warrior Hawk suicide/drunk angle
>Johnny Ace's brother Animal would quit over this shit
>Hawk would die due to his demons
>This has been pretty much forgotten
Pretty fucked up
New Age Outlaws join the corporation earlier and then double cross for no apparent end game other than to hit Shamrock with a chair shot in a anything goes match... which ends the match wtf
I wonder what they may have been planning or even thinking.. like that couldn't have been written more than 10 minutes prior to Raw starting.
>>2305089
Taker/Austin had zero chemistry together. Never clicked on the mic or the ring.
>>2305138
Yeah, wonder why..
Main event is Taker & Rock vs Stone Cold and Mankind. Mankind goes into the ring to get beat 2v1 so they can get Austin the savior pop.
>Last match DX vs Bossman and Shamrock
>Anything goes
>Pretty much a standard tag match
>Ends because of a chair shot
>This match advertised as normal match
>Pretty much a hardcore match
>Outside of the ring and no count down even though bell was rung
>Takes like 7 minutes to get into a normal tag match
>Match ends after interference
just live stream it
And that's it.. the only real memorable moment of Taker vs Austin.
Entire episode was typical attitude era garbage and nonsense to be quite honest senpai. It was also a go home Raw for the Rock Bottom PPV. It's amazing how much these episodes used to be used to just push selling the PPV at all cost.
>>2304964
> Turn back to WCW
> Hogan and Nash still doing a promo
>>2304964
>Starts with an 15 minute promo with HHH
i don't even remember what he was doing at that time. and to start a raw in 1998? he must have been fucking steph at that time.
>>2305160
>only means to push a ppv is an episode
>wow guise they really pushed this ppv on this one
>>2305033
2004 was the last year Raw was any good.
>>2305160
>It's amazing how much these episodes used to be used to just push selling the PPV at all cost.
But that's what every episode of Raw is now.
>>2305160
The only storyline that matters is the main event
It's like Shakespeare, bunch of crude humor and irrelevant pleb stories around the main story.
>>2305160
>It's amazing how much these episodes used to be used to just push selling the PPV at all cost.
That's literally fucking wrestling you goddamn retard
>>2304964
To be fair 15 minutes is rather short by big shovels standard.
>>2305089
>Capital Carnage
That's the one. Vinny Jones was the special enforcer if I remember correctly.
Jaquelines A* tits stole the entire show.
