Revision as of 14:35, 10 August 2011
The January 11, 1993 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE's RAW brand, which was taped on January 11, 1993. This was the first episode of Monday Night Raw. The first ever Raw aired LIVE on the USA network from the Grand Ballroom at the Manhattan Center Studios (a small New York Theater). It scored 2.5 rating.
The show begins with a backstage interviewer Sean Mooney, who plays in front of the hall the "gatekeeper" for Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, who is determined to mitkommentieren the debut edition of the all-new Monday night show. Mooney tells him, however, that the hall was sold out to the ceiling and Heenan had to stay outside. As commentators to welcome Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Rob Bartlett (a local radio DJ who had absolutely no idea of Wrestling).
It will broadcast a previously recorded by Bobby Heenan promo in which his ex-protege of Mr. Perfect the debut of "Narcissus" (later "The Narcissist" Lex Luger) announced.
Bobby Heenan as Rob Bartlett's aunt is now trying to get dressed in the hall, but Sean Mooney sees through the disguise and makes "The Brain" again rebuffed.
Vince McMahon then runs an interview with Razor Ramon, who will attend the Royal Rumble title match against WWF World Heavyweight Champion Bret Hart contest. Razor says inter alia that Bret Hart took 8 ½ years for it to win that title, but Razor Ramon would make this already after 8 ½ months. We show an attack on Razors Owen Hart, who was the Latino during an interview on "WWF Mania" surprised and edited with a garbage can. Razor Ramon commented on the incident so that it had given him pleasure to beat Bret's little brother. The Hitman could not do anything, any more than he could do something about it that Razor would win the Royal Rumble WWF World Title. Finally, Vince gets to the cheers of the fans the toothpick in the face.
