Raw Opening: 2003

[Jballa371]

BIG POPPA PUMP

[SycamoreHill14]

WWE 2002-2005 was the best.

[Xamydumasfan4everX]

Lita.

[WWEFiguresAction]

2003 to 2008 are the best times

[SinisterShots14]

@WWEFiguresAction more like 1996-2009

[leximarie722]

wrestling at its prime...

[SRPC21]

Raw= WCW under good management. Experienced wrestlers fighting for the traditional World Heavyweight title, Live show, ran by Bischoff.

Smackdown!= WWE, younger stars in the main event but with plenty of experience.

Now its become so muddled and pointless, what is actually the difference between Raw & Smackdown!?

[chuckbartowskii9]

i missed that

[asleepinseptember]

When divas weren't afraid to intervene

[emmyloopoo]

This is the time of wrestling not blabing their mouths for 2 hours like today

[samusoreilly]

this is back when tv was good

[mrpabloboi11]

This would be unbeatable if it wasn't for shitty goldberg he had no talent just spears...

[WadeZeen]

Great hardcore bloody wrestling, great storylines, the greatest roster, sexiest divas, real wrestling fans it was perfect as it was, why did it all turn into a show for 5 year olds? dats why I stoped watching wwe and stated watching tna,

[BayviewzBest]

@WadeZeen i reallly liked your comment until the part of TNA.

[tupac1983]

wow stacy keibler. she made it now GEORGE CLOONEY lol

[SausageRawr]

Im 14, I witnessed this era, was talking to my step brothers and my dad while I was in their house, me: The best era of wwe was the wwf/the wwe in mid 2003 to 2006. They kept listening, until i talked about the rock, I said the rock was my hero, I lived to watch the rock back in the golden age, my step mum interupts, bullcrap you watched him. Me: yeah I did...? Her: No... you didnt... Me: Umm, yeah i did so stfu while the great one is talking :)

[ScentlessApprentice7]

I clicked just because Stacy Kiebler was shown in the thumbnail.

George Clooney...Fuck You!!!

[GeekesMind]

@ScentlessApprentice7 same here I seen Stacy and clicked on it

[KenzieEsblenin]

Everything PG Raw wishes it was.

[ASQ1Fan]

At first I thought 2003 sucked but it got better after Kane's unmasking believe it or not.. Still better than 2011 though. At least Vince had grapefruits back then.

[yankeess601]

everything u see in this intro, they dont do anymore... i havent watched 1 wwe episode in a yr and it looks like a havent missed much. wwe should look at these youtube comments so they see that EVERYONE thinks it sucks now. man watching this video really brings me back. i wish wwe was still good cuz watching this makes me wanna watch it again but i know it sucks and theres nothing good to watch -___-

[WWEVideosByHD]

wwe is still good 

[DropDeadMvs]

How I miss the bad ass divas matches and epic ass matches with THESE superstars! and divas. <3

[adict108]

[TheNeroValentine]

[iLuvRandomnessx3]

[Ash12241991]

Divas using weapons

[blaise31]

[Mrgrimm9991]

[wwegabs10]

WWE WAS WAY BETTER IN THE TV 14 ERA WE DONT WANT TO SEE BARNEY THE DINOSAUR FIND HIS FRUITY PEBBLES,THERES NO BLOOD ANYMORE WHO CARES KIDS PARENTS WILL PROBALY STILL LET THEM WATCH IT BUT SERIOSLY WWE?WHO CARES ITS NOT GETTING FUN ANY MORE WE WANT TO SEE CM PUNK THROW CENA IN TO A FLAMBING TABLE OR SOMTHING HARDCORE LIKE THAT

THUMBS UP COPY AND PASTE ON EVERY WWE VIDEO TO SEE THIS HAPPEN

OR IN A YEARS TIME RAW WILL BE ON DISNEY CHANNEL

[MrFreshedits3]

@wwegabs10 I wish that would happen but i will never be like that again cause we have guys like Cena whos to much of a fucking pussy to survive that scenerio

[Mr88Echo]

is it just me or did it seem like after they changed from this intro , WWF/E was never the same

[Jrdarknessking]

* Crying * " I WANT THE OLD WWE back!!!! " :(

[yodudeudi465]

i miss masked kane and biker undertaker..

[LauryXMissy]

I miss EVOLUTION SO MUCH !

[heyshanpatney]

THIS WAS THE BEST RAW INTO OF ALL TIMES! I MISS RAW 2002 TO 2005 SMH

[MiDSinister]

Goldberg, Bischoff, blood, violent divas, hardcore matches..

Wow...where the Hell did all this awesomeness disappear to?

[brockhit]

@MiDSinister you all will get that on tna

[Hitmonchan107]

@brockhit Yeah, along broken hips. TNA is a retirement home for old geezers.

[brockhit]

@Hitmonchan107 lol!but tna gained popularity while it established in the year 2003 or4 maybe 2..

[RobVanDamkicksass]

@MiDSinister

TNA. Except it's done like total shit.

[kulastheman]

@MiDSinister all eaten by a monster we would like to call "PG"

[TimberWolf99]

@MiDSinister >Bischoff

>awesomeness

Pick one.

[MiDSinister]

@TimberWolf99

Bischoff in WWE was awesome. :)

[supergokusayan1]

@MiDSinister Goldberg? He sucks.

Smackdown was much better for these two reasons : Brock Lesnar and Torrie Wilson both as good as porn.

[AronHallan]

Stacy keibler owns the thumbnail i had to click

[denyfate]

raw is not the same with nickelback opening the show.. i mean.. NICKELBACK?! REALLY?!

[bigredcelery75]

god i miss the old raw

[Awesomedude8373]

the first thing i saw was stacy keibler

[bigjosh36]

ohhh god i get goose bumps when i hear that song!

[macmilitant123]

The greatest, miss this bad

[yomommaaminor55]

i wish wwe was how it used to be.now its dumb

[labellamafiusa]

wish the attitude era never ended =/

[TheJosephPrice]

@labellamafiusa

Well this wasn't the attitude era bro.

[Mikeraske]

By far the best RAW intro.

[ghostflyable23]

who crashed that car in 0:07 ?? probably austin's drunk ass always drinking and shit

[powerspyin]

@ghostflyable23 shane mcmahon made the car crash with kane inside it

[MultiPring]

Kane grilling JR = birth of the barbecue sauce LOL

[Texasrattlesnake45]

in my opinion i miss raw and smackdown 2003 good thing i have all of the episodes on vhs

[amoney721]

The golden age of WWE

[SomethingRules]

@amoney721 this is 2003. are people honestly forgetting how horrible raw was in 2003? goddamn

[Allapattahgoon]

@SomethingRules that cuz it wasnt

[IR305]

@SomethingRules RAW in '03 wasn't horrible. RAW nowadays is horrible. I much rather see Triple H kicking ass with Evolution (yes, the burial tour) than suffer through another lame Cena promo with him kissing the fans' asses again.

[riky409]

Fukkk lady gaga go asgenst lita or trish

[mnsymsilen]

the best raw intro

[milad930]

Triple H+ HBK+ Randy Orton+ Shelton+ Stacy+ Torrie + Batista + Bischoff = REAL MONDAY NIGHT RAW!

[fuckcenaloverock]

@milad930 no just no

real raw dx x-pac road dogg hhh chyna mr ass dudleys e & c hardys rock austin foley big show kane undertaker the brood gangrel ministry of darkness jericho angle rikishi that is a real raw

[milad930]

@fuckcenaloverock

I am talking abt post attitude era! DUMBASS

[canthave]

goddamn this was awesome, they must have kept this intro for awhile I remember watching this when I was in high school and that was around 01-04

[totallykyle111]

2003's Raw had one of the best rosters ever. Including Bischoff lol

[seankinsellasean]

around the time of evolution, id consider this an era, no?

[TylerHDTV]

2 People enjoy watching the PG era of WWE

[ZombieModGuy11]

Do you guys think Randy can survive the attitude era?XD

[fuckcenaloverock]

@ZombieModGuy11 him and cena would be in dark matches in attitude era

[damaverick0830]

REAL TALK!! I dont no y they playin with us. They no they wanna bring back TV-14. And besides, if Del Rio was around at that time, he wouldn't have made it all honesty.

[GenericAuthenticity]

THIS is the kind of intro vid that you just don't get anymore. You can just feel the intensity that RAW used to bring...as the flagship fucking show of the WWE. Can't believe what they've come down to. I mean I get the whole concept of WWE being an entertainment company and they do have to keep up with the times, but fuck they are still a SPORTS entertainment company and above all else their sport is WRESTLING! They need to check themselves big time. Vince has lost his touch COMPLETELY.

[elzevir14oct]

today is PG era!!! o come on, bring back the attidude era.

[Texasrattlesnake45]

i have to admit raw got intense from july- december 2003

[severebrutalized]

This is back when WWE was THE shit of entertainment. Nowadays, it's not even worth watching. Except for the Undertaker and superstars of his stature.

[musicman301]

@severebrutalized i totally agree with you on that one i think they should have another Invasion storyline that would be awesome dont you think so

[JonRyderzRVD]

this brings back memories relieving my childhood

[fuckcenaloverock]

@JonRyderzRVD same here i was 7 in 2003 and loved watching goldberg rock hhh hbk kane booker t kane kevin nash evoulution(batista orton hhh flair) hurricane and on smackdown angle lesnar big show taker

[23478979]

Can anyone tell me what band played this song and when did they performed live at RAW stage

[MrFaizanh]

clicked it coz ov stacy, man do i miss her

[MrCarola87]

What is the song's name??

[noelasuncion52]

@MrCarola87 Across the nation

[Drockvashon]

@MrCarola87  "Across The Nation" by Union Underground

[Sost5]

i miss the storylines

i miss the blood

i miss the divas

i miss the swearing

i miss the music

i miss the fans

[tdeep361361]

2 people refuse to see the change in me

[MultiPring]

This was my "screw school, I'm watching Raw" anthem.

[NewAgeOrderJG]

when i look at this is think TNA and PG WWE

[mryoto123]

Kurt Angle was 1 of the best. I didnt like him but he was always the centre of the best storylines with ther rock, stone cold, undertaker and triple h. [sigh] i miss WWF

[LTSsLither]

Actually, I like Raw now more than back then. I will admit that Smackdown has become craptastical, but RAW is still awesome.

[301SO]

man Across The Nation was their theme for a loonggg time

[Monty54]

Back when RAW was the shit. None of this PG Crap

[123hitmankid]

@Monty54 i blame the kids for watching this shit. the wwef warn them about weapons, sex and violence cuz of that it had to be PG.

[hahnville1]

@Monty54 that was the day lol

[crash6192]

AH! This was the time when divas can bitch slap each other!

[ItsTimeIDisappear09]

after Eric Bischoff left, Raw was never the same.

[teepunkoi]

what song

[MrWWEThemeSongs1]

@teepunkoi ''Across The Nation'' by Union Underground

[rip2729]

2003 raw and smackdown had the best theme music wat we got now is some shit

[yfg483792gew]

Damn I miss these days so much!

[KellyKellyMickieJame]

i didn't even see trish only lita no stacy

[Fear9611]

@KellyKellyMickieJame Trish: @ :20 & 0:15 getting slapped

Stacy: @ 0:14 (its quick clip) & 0:22

[KellyKellyMickieJame]

@Fear9611 thanks

[KellyKellyMickieJame]

@Fear9611 thanks

[ilovetrishstratus1]

TRISH STRATUS IS THE BEST DIVA EVER.

Please come back: Trish Stratus, Ashley Massaro, Lita,Candice Michelle, Mickie James, Torrie Wilson, Victoria, Christy Hemme..

[lavenderstar555]

why did wwe remove this theme from raw anyways. it was the best one

[lavenderstar555]

raw is not the same without bischoff

[sexypimp911]

@lavenderstar555 hell no bischoff ruined raw i mean he was the reason wcw ran out of business

[ghostflyable23]

@lavenderstar555 despite the fact that he was an asshole, his assholeness made the show badass

[NJCorleone]

@lavenderstar555 I'm happy he's not the GM today! Cena and Orton would rule him!

[darkariser07]

I miss How Diva's Can Smash people with Steel Chairs, but today all they do is YAKITY YAK YAKITY YAK ALL THE TIME ESPECIALLY LAYCOOL AND MELINA WITH THAT TERRIBLE UNECCESARY SCREAM

[Seetherfanv1]

@darkariser07 They werent diva's though, they were Woman Wrestlers 

[darkariser07]

@Seetherfanv1 we prefer to call them divas because, when you say woman wrestlers, its like muscular, man looking females, no offense to some

[absolfanhamtaro]

@darkariser07 like a 1990's fighting game! "do! DO DO DO DO!! DO! DO DO DO DO DO!!!

[powerspyin]

@darkariser07 i agree even i am 11 cause i started to watch wwe (but the time wwf) in 2001, divas these days can not wrestle, and they are too weak and it is easy to tell who is going to win and why did they get rid of the longest running belt in the wwe, THE WOMENS CHAMPION? and now they have this crap the divas champion, and i do not know why linda mcnahon would run for resate and herad goldberg and brock lesnar are coming back to wwe

[hbk2221]

@powerspyin WTF kid??? You don't know nothing about that, You weren't even born yet LOL

[wordlifeheel]

@darkariser07 Don't forget Kelly Kelly. All that stupid bitch can do is scream.

[r0ckdach3ader]

Ahh the good old day, I remember watching Evolution, Goldberg, Kevin NAsh, HBK, Unmasked Kane, Shane McMahon, The Rock vs Austin at WM XIX, i can keep going. Screw the PG crap, but i still stick with the WWE, the Wrestling product that made me a fan back in 1997.

[ThatSephGuy]

Sends chills down my spine, such nostalgia.

[TimeBomb014X]

i loved this RAW the RAW after this not so much but the new RAW is better than the last but this still remains supreme ( i mean the style of RAW & theme song )

[xTheUnofficialx]

0:19 STAND BACK!!!!!!!!!!- THERE's a HURRICANE COMMIN THROUGH!!!!

[KiamarMasterT]

Now this intro was the best we ever had. :-)

[Manbeast222]

RAW>Smackdown

[rebelwwe]

The thing I loved about RAW during this time was Evolution.Their feuds Booker T,Goldust,The Dudley boyz,Kane,Scott Steiner,Goldberg,Steve Austin,Rock n Sock.

Golden time for RAW and Smackdown. plus Velocity,Confidential & Sunday night heat,Bottom line,etc.

[RkoWrestlingfan228]

@rebelwwe Hell yeah!!!

Confidential? whats that?

[rebelwwe]

@RkoWrestlingfan228 It was a show that told about the superstars lives outside the ring,what their cribs were like,what they do for fun,it was hosted by Mean Gene Okerland.It came on at 11 pm right after Velocity went off...then smackdown would come on @ 12 am.hahaha..AND all of this was on a Saturday night...then the next day you had WWE Bottom line @ 6 pm,and then Sunday night heat at 8 pm.2003 was the bomb for WWE.

[errorbts1]

2 cena fans clicked the dislike button

[razorclaws13]

what s the title of this song??

[lostenmusic]

@razorclaws13 Across the Nation by the Union Underground

[nigtlicroco]

i loved from when it started till 2006 ... yea the DX time was excellent

[xtremeskittelz2007]

eric bischoff's raw was the best.

[Tyrone279]

whether some of u like it or not TNA is the one now untill wwe fix up

[scotty2635]

I agree with every single person who commented Raw Now is so Sad and Horrible

[Scorpino123]

Just by seeing this intro you knew RAW was going to be better than smackdown and the song got you pumped out thinking HELL YEA WWE RAW ITS MONDAY NIGHT. Eric Bishoff's RAW was so damn good

[Matt90Attack]

Totally agree

[TheNasirXD]

This intro always got me so pumped nowadays the current intro makes wanna change the channel. RIP wwf/wwe 1998-2003

[Saliva4444]

Get rid of the cena kiddy era shit. PG sucks balls. I want the old days to come back. Raw was good from 1997-2007 then it was shit. Bring back Bischoff. His raw was the best. Cena sucks!

[wwestopmotionrox]

i miss eric bischoff in wwe. he helped raw stay alive since wwe was not in the attitude era anymore. now hes in crappy tna, and its crappy, because of him.

[nodoutcoward]

Man do i miss these days.... todays wwe sucks.

[karl079712]

it sex oh no linda wont like that

[DeathEater91100]

raw should havw stayed on spike

[mkfan93]

i actually miss Bischoff =[ lol

[wwfwowner]

Everyone go on wikipedia and type in linda mcmahon. scroll down about the pg rating and you will see since linda is running for senator she also had to do with this pg bullshit.

[Saliva4444]

@wwfwowner linda made wwe pg so once she stops hopefully wwe will go back to being tv 14

[wwfwowner]

@Saliva4444 Same here, I miss this intro so much by the way :)

[Saliva4444]

@wwfwowner me too, when do u think PG will end?

[wwfwowner]

@Saliva4444 I have no idea, Linda Mcmahon made a quote about the PG ratings, and the kids and wifes being at the audience. She is "giving a cradle to the grave" which means thats older fans since the attitude era might eventually grow out of watching wwf/wwe so they have little kids grow into watching it so they will be long time fans, and wwe will not lose money. But I hope when Lidna mcmahon finishes running for senator the pg ratings will end!

[Saliva4444]

@wwfwowner yeah I agree, but WWE is losing older fans but PG is making it shit. PG started when she ran so hopefully when her thing is over PG will end. When is rock coming back? I heard in August.

[wwfwowner]

@Saliva4444 Oh 'cus Pg ratings started in early '08. So yeah when does the running for senator end? WHAT? Rock coming back? What's this all about? Linda is so selfish, she just wants more money

[Saliva4444]

@wwfwowner Rock is doing a special project with vince and the senate thing ends in november

[dx4life21]

raw from 2002-2005 was not as exciting and entertaining as the attitude era,but it was almost as entertaining.thorn in your eye and across the nation always got me excited for raw.i miss these days

[FestHamcus]

wwe in 2002-2004 is like the only non-attitude era time period where wrestling was still good.

[OmarPain15]

No Cena + No Cole= RAW in its prime

[3DGAR775]

I Miss The Old You WWE :(

[SayberV1]

Is it me or did RAW in this era have a 'nitro' feel to especially with eric bischoff as GM

[UNDERTAKERTHEPHENOM]

seeing rock and austin in same opening give me chills........I wish there would be a day when we can say R.I.P pg (You will not be missed)

[Stonecold041989]

ah, back when there were ENTERTAINING divas ... Lita, Trish, Victoria, Stacy, Molly = epic

[bullt91]

the rock the beest!!

[King2123]

this was that bands only big break haha

[Saliva4444]

rocky please come back

[onemileradius]

now this, was wrestling.

[MultiAkatsukifan]

I really miss the violence!
