10 Wrestling Myths Debunked

10. "This Is Your Life" Is The Highest Rated WWE Segment Ever

A commonly held misconception by many wrestling fans is that the classic "This Is Your Life" segment hosted by Mick Foley for The Rock is the biggest drawing in the history of Monday Night Raw. In reality, it doesn't even make the top three.

Granted, this famous epic drew a huge 8.39 quarter hour rating, which is mind-blowing when compared to today's numbers, but three other events from 1999 actually beat it according to the Wrestling Observer's archives.

Unbelievably, The Stooges versus The Mean Street Posse did an 8.61 in May 1999. On the same show, in the main event we witnessed "the single most watched pro wrestling match in the history of cable television" at the time as Shane McMahon partnered with Triple H and The Undertaker to take on Vince, The Rock, and Stone Cold with Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee. That did a whopping 9.17 rating but still isn't #1.

That honour goes to Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker from the 28 June 1999 edition of Raw. The WWF Championship was on the line following McMahon family shenanigans at the previous night's King Of The Ring pay-per-view; The Texas Rattlesnake regained the title and the segment clocked a gigantic 9.5 rating.
