25 Greatest WWE Raw Moments Ever
2. A Title Win For All Mankind (January 4th, 1999)
WWE delight in telling the tale of WCW commentator Tony Schiavone instructing fans of this taped result before it aired on January 4th 1999, but too often they ignore the earth-shattering moment they created to ensure that it honestly didn't matter what the opposition were up to that night anyway.
There are several contenders, but the closing moments of this stupendous Raw main event were a microcosm of the oblique perfection of the Attitude Era. D-Generation-X and Vince McMahon's Corporate team members brawled chaotically around the ring as The Chairman himself completely lost control of his golden goose's title defence.
Taking full advantage of the chaos, Stone Cold Steve Austin's entrance was greeted by maybe the loudest recorded reaction ever, with the volume remaining at a peak for 'The Rattlesnake' waffling The Rock with a steel chair to gift a memorable victory to his on again/off again partner-cum-rival Mick Foley. A greater convergence of nearly all the period's key components, there'd never be.
