1. The 1-2-3 Kid Shocks The World
Date: May 17th So, about that "anything can happen" atmosphere that the WWF was aiming for... this is the perfect example of that. Razor Ramon was being groomed as one of the "next big things" in the company, and he was mowing through his opponents week in and week out. The 1-2-3 Kid, on the other hand, looked like a 15-year-old. He was "enhancement talent" back in the day where wrestlers like him were on the receiving end of squash match losses all the time. Nobody was expecting anything less than a brutal beating by Razor here. That's when everyone's jaws hit the floor as the Kid lived up to his name and got the 1-2-3 out of nowhere. The building exploded as fans went ballistic for the upset victory. Kid was running around in excitement, while Razor was trying to figure out just what in the hell happened to him. Back then, upsets like this simply did not happen, and when this one went down, it gave fans yet another reason to tune in for Raw every week, as everything looked like it could change at any point. Take notice of the dates in the top three entries on this list. They all happened on the same episode, easily making it the best episode of Raw in 1993, and one of the overall better episodes in the show's history, from top to bottom.
