10 Biggest Holy Sh*t Moments In WWE Raw History

2. NEVER Say Never

Far from being casualties of war, nearly all of WCW's topline crew found work in WWE as the company desperately tried to reignite the spark that had retrospectively gone out long some point during the phoney battle between Vince McMahon's organisation and the Shane and Stephanie-led WCW/ECW Alliance.

Whilst the New World Order in February 2002 and Bill Goldberg the following March were the types of performers fans felt they may never see on Raw, Eric Bischoff's million dollar smile was assumed ostracised forever and then some. Vince McMahon's real contemporary even when he pretended Ted Turner was his peer, Bischoff was the devil incarnate to dyed-in-the-wool WWE'ers in the heat of battle. Few men had ever even realistically taken on McMahon, let alone briefly tople him.

His arrival again highlighted just who won the war, but steady employ under Vince after all he'd perpetrated was certainly 'Easy E's lasting success on the battlefield. His 2019 return reflects how mutually satisfying it was, with a 2010 TNA run already demoted to the bargain bin of wrestling relaunches.
