10 Best RAW Moments Just Added To WWE Network

2. Mick Foley Wins WWF Title

As Mankind, Mick Foley's first WWF Title win has went down in history as a clear moment when WCW angered a lot of fans. At the time, Raw Is War was often pre-taped, whereas WCW's Monday Nitro always went out live. Looking to sabotage Foley's big moment, and stop fans from watching Raw, Eric Bischoff instructed announcer Tony Schiavone to give away the result on Nitro.

What followed was the simultaneous switch of over half a million people, who elected to tune in and see Foley's big moment on Raw, leaving WCW scratching their heads in confusion. Going beyond the petty behaviour of the Atlanta-based organisation, nothing could steal this moment from the unconventional Foley in January, 1999.

This moment is indicative of the kind of carnage newcomers can expect when checking out the 'Attitude Era' on the WWE Network for the first time. Listen to how into it the fans are, and how over every single performer on screen is with the people, it's quite something. Foley's big title reign may not have lasted too long, but it's still one of the most cherished moments in Raw history.
