Ranking Every WWE Raw Anniversary Show From Worst To Best

8. Raw X (13 January 2003)

A grand misfire much like the venue it took place in, Raw X was a schmaltz-heavy celebration of the show's first ten years, emanating from WWE's ailing Times Square hub 'The World'.

Lessening in recent years, the company used to have something of an obsession with awards shows stemming from the unexpectedly successful 1987 Slammys. The trophies were trotted out again in the 1990s and would later be included in dry December Raws on an annual basis, but Raw X was the first opportunity in years to dive deep into nostalgia with the faces old and new that made it.

Only, none of them could be *rsed to show up. Outside of main roster stalwarts (presumably attendance was mandatory), the architects of Monday Night Raw's finest moments were almost unanimously absent. Steve Austin had yet to make his public return, Mick Foley wanted nothing to do with the company post-Katie Vick, and The Rock conducted a 'live via satellite' interview so hokey it necessitated a heel turn upon his February return.

Foreshadowing a lifetime of it, Triple H stole headlines for all the wrong reasons, literally showing his *ss to fiancée Stephanie McMahon as an up yours to a host of seated miserable midcarders furious with his in-ring selfishness at the time.
