12 Most Historic Wrestling Moments That Happened In Las Vegas

12. The First-Ever RAW Roulette Gives Us TLC IV

October 2002 saw the first-ever edition of RAW Roulette, as WWE’s flagship show was broadcast from Las Vegas. The brand’s then-GM, Eric Bischoff, oversaw an entertaining and memorable episode as each match’s stipulation came at the mercy of a spinning wheel. The main event ended up being a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match - only the fourth in company history at the time - for the World Tag Team Championships.

Unfortunately for the reigning title holders, Kane was forced to defend the belts alone against three other teams after his partner the Hurricane was attacked backstage earlier in the night. The TLC bout which lasted twenty-five minutes - the longest to that point in time - saw Kane successfully overcome the odds as he retrieved the titles that hung above the ring.

The triumphant moment was soured as the night ended with Triple H's reveal that the Big Red Machine had killed Katie Vick in a continuation of that abysmal storyline. Still, this unique episode of RAW has proved not only memorable in subsequent years, it also started an intermittent tradition of Roulette-themed episodes with the last taking place in 2013.
