WWE's flagship show, RAW, runs every Monday night in countries all over the world. It began airing on January 11, 1993, and was seen as revolutionary to the sports-entertainment industry due to the live nature and intimate feeling of the show (which emenated from the Manhattan Center). It has been billed as the "longest running weekly episodic television show in history" and though that classification may be debated, the long-term success of the show cannot be argued. Any television program that remains on the air for over twenty years has done something right. Lately though, the Raw's ratings have hit record-tying lows in the U.S. and many have debated the reasons for the decline.
