WWE Raw Gallery: 25 Years Of Iconic Monday Nights

25. 1993 - Upset Kid

Dateline: 17th May, 1993

Widely considered the first truly great angle of the Monday Night Raw era, 1-2-3 Kid's fluke victory over Razor Ramon is still a gripping watch 25 years later.

Surprising the over-confident Cuban with a flailing moonsault, Kid was a made man by virtue of the victory. So too was Ramon in defeat - Vince McMahon had spotted the cheers growing louder for Razor and constructed this tale as part of a slow-burn turn for 'The Bad Guy'. He'd lose money and pride to The Kid in the angle, but find redemption defeating a mocking Ted Dibiase in his babyface bow later that summer.

It's a shame such star-making mechanisms are clearly not in place today.
