WWE Monday Night Raw is the most important piece of Vince McMahon's business empire. From the day it launched on January 11 1993, it has served as the foundation stone for all of the WWE's business ventures. Merchandise, pay per views, video games, they'd all be nothing if it wasn't for the shop window that is Monday Night Raw. But Raw's success is also down to the fact that it has been an entertaining show in its own right. Granted, some episodes in the three hour era can seem like hard work, but at its very best Raw is comparable to some of WWE's pay per view efforts. Remember Shawn Michaels and John Cena wrestling for nearly an hour at the London Raw in 2007? Or how about the TLC on Raw in October 2002, or Cena versus CM Punk in 2013? Those matches were as good as anything WWE did on pay per view in those years. The other thing that has defined Raw's success is unmissable segments. Stone Cold Steve Austin driving a beer truck to the ring and hosing down Mr McMahon is what immediately springs to mind. Moments like that are now part of wrestling folklore. Behind the magic is a range of mind blowing facts, that serve as true testament to the importance and impressiveness of WWE Monday Night Raw.
