 What's good y'all it's your boy Ross back out again with another video So I'm gonna check out the best match from every year of WWE Raw. This should be a good one shout out to everyone that was a part of The the raw is 30 live stream the 30 year 30 year anniversary of Monday Night Raw We did the live stream last night not gonna lie to you that Monday Night Raw was pretty good I enjoyed myself. I see a lot of you guys did as well that first hour was 10 out of 10 fantastic. I wish Monday Night Raw was more like that on a consistent basis It'll definitely be more enjoyable. So We got to check out some of the best matches from each year Monday Night Raw and I will say that tag team match with the Usos versus the judgment day and then Sami Zayn being involved in the match Because I believe Jimmy ended up kayfabe getting injured last night that tag team match was definitely a great match on The show so we're gonna see Some of these other legendary matches on Monday Night Raw from over the years, man And let's get right into this one, but can't imagine anyone ever being that old never happened to me as the show Yeah, I'm older than Monday Night Raw. That's that's the crazy thing I'm older than the damn so prepares to celebrate its 30th birthday and not its 30th anniversary Because I guess not knowing how anniversaries work is a WWE thing regardless of the regime We can now take a moment to reflect on the times that the show wasn't a steaming pile It's happened less often than you think. All right, let's quit the pitter patter and let's get at her I'm tempest hailing from parts fun known and this is the best match from every year of WWE Raw But before we get on with our list make sure of course man just a volume for you guys Notifications to always on so you never miss a fun list just like it and make sure that you check out the plethora of royal rumble content That we've had coming your way this month watch survival series It's also great and royal rumble themed and you love the royal rumble don't lie to me I know you do 1993 Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Janetti episode 26 July 19 Jumped through the barbershop window to escape Shawn Michaels Well a year and a half later Janetti finally pulled himself out of produce beefcake storefront to challenge HBK for the intercontinental Championship on Raw in the doldrums of the new generation era These two had a match that both encapsulated why they were one of the most popular tag teams of their day and why their style would be Representative of the future of Raw. It's a shame Shawn had to drop the title here Everyone will always remember that Marty Janetti is better than him 1994 versus one two three kid episode 69 July 4th Look at this little head tilt this thing. This is my favorite part of the match Bret Hart defends the WWE Championship against the one two three kid and kid takes him over and through superb physical storytelling Brett realizes that this match is gonna be a lot more than he had prepared for Brett has always been a master of the ring and when he got to Russell someone who could keep up with him It made for the highlights of mid 90s 1995 That was uh Goes by Xbox now. Let me let me double check. I believe that was him. Hold on. I'm doing a double check night right now One two three that the fact that that was his name one two three. Yeah, I could have sworn. Yeah, that was a Xbox or not, but at that time he went by one two three kid, which is such a cringe name Akushi episode 121 July 24th. Here he is again that Bret Hart having good matches in 1995 what a god 1995 is maybe the worst calendar year in WWE history and that extended to their flagship program Brett faced Akushi while Jerry Lawler berated him and our ears on commentary and it is a shame Akushi didn't get more of a run in WWE considering how well he worked with a top star like Bret Brett fights off Akushi's manager and wins with the sharpshooter. It's nothing memorable, but then again, neither is 1995 1996 Shawn Michaels versus one two three kid Wow 149 March 4th HB Schizzle may not have liked many people in the 90s But he sure liked his friends the one two three kid was one of those friends and as such the match They had on raw in March of 1996 felt like two friends working super hard for one another Shawn was just weeks out from his coronation at WrestleMania 12 And this was a great showcase match with Chris Baction and Shawn fighting off the interference of Ted DiBiase Again, it isn't mind-blowing by today's standards, but considering what else was on raw at the time. Yeah, this is pretty great 1997 Shawn Michaels cool seeing Xbox really Xbox being involved in these high-profile matches and putting on pretty good showings That's always dope to see Steve Austin versus Owen Hart and British Bulldog episode 211 May 26 When WWE is just put their best wrestlers in the ring and let them wrestle good things have happened Doesn't matter which time we were traveling around the Sun WWE's best have been pretty great It also doesn't matter when it is WWE loves themselves a can you co-exist? Don't they it's in the episode description for Say 1998 Steve Austin versus Kane episode 266 June 29 1998 wasn't a great year for match quality for WWE on Monday nights, but that wasn't what made Rob must see it was Steve Austin One night after being screwed that's literally what made Monday night raw what it was Stone Cold Steve Austin causing chaos Out of his WWE championship at King of the Ring Austin just said he wasn't gonna stand for it winning his title back in the quickest Fashion possible it isn't the technical masterclass that would become commonplace on raw 20 years later But that pop when Austin wins the title back his attitude era frenzy to a T 1999 the Rock versus mankind episode 299 February 15th This is a real hot potato era for the WWE championship despite this only being the 46th day of 1999 This was already the fourth title change of the year while that might be completely mad to some it wasn't for the people in The crowd that night the rock and mankind have a very good ladder match much more in line with the ladder matches of the time Free hearties Dudley's an edgy Christian with less giant spots and more wrestling with John the Dwayne rocks and earning his way to WrestleMania to face Steve Austin 2000 Triple H Xbox in the radicals versus the rock Mick Foley and too cool episode 350 February 7th The WWF midcard had finally arrived the turning of the tide in the quality of Monday Night Raw as an overall program came when they finally Sorted out their goddamn roster when you take a roster that already had Mick Foley the rock Undertaker Kane and Triple H at the top and then start to add folks like the radicals That's how you get a stacked roster sure enough You had this massive collection of stars who would be incapable of having a bad match the star power alone would have carried this match But thankfully they did a good wrestle too didn't they and it's always good to have a strong midcard Sometimes we you know tend to forget that the midcard Helps the overall show of course you're gonna have your top guys that you know kind of carry The show in a sense of star power people want to see them But if you have a good midcard division Between those main event segments and spots and storylines you can have something that's like okay These guys, you know, I'm interested in what these guys are doing. I'm interested in And what story they're trying to tell you know and I would I would put obviously I would put the tag team division as a Midcard Part of the midcard only because you know, they're not main eventers there They're in the middle of the of the show a lot of times good tag team matches are at the beginning of the show in the Middle of the show so I would consider them part of midcard like being in that in that realm So if you have a good tag team Good midcard you can have a pretty good wrestling roster because now everything doesn't have to depend on the top guys You know, you can actually get some good quality matches from the middle of from the from the guys And they're not there at the top of the card, you know So it's always good to have that 2001 triple H and Steve Austin versus Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit episode four Yes, my voice is kind of gone because of Monday night raw. I was going crazy last night on stream For a long time, I only knew this as the one where triple H tourist quad my favorite episode of friends But no single greatest match in raw history triple H still in his best run Steve Austin still being one of the best workers of his generation and then two incredible Underdog workers that the crowd badly wanted to see win This might be the best tag match in WWE history and this is slightly unrelated But Jericho and Benoit wrestled TLC 3 maybe the best match in SmackDown history the next night 2002 TLC 4 episode 489 October 7th. If TLC 3 is the forgotten TLC match I don't even know what that makes TLC poor the weird TLC match where the original three teams all got spliced up with Bubba Ray Dudley swapping Devon out for spike Christian exchanged his edge for a Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy got a new brother and Rob Van Damme all the while Kane was tanking the match solo. It is a car crash on free TV I pray for the men involved, but thank them very much for having such a great match 2003 triple H versus Shawn Michaels episode 553 December 29th Adam really needs to have a chat with his dad about ruining people's fun He did it a lot in WCW But hadn't gotten his fill apparently because he decided that this match for the World Heavyweight Championship had to abide by the rules Hahaha Shawn Michaels have probably their best straight singles match and just as the match reaches its conclusion with Shawn appearing to have won the big gold Bell I remember the Bish alerts us all that Shawn shoulders were down to no fun No, I remember that I was such a good good moment, bro such a good turn of events Shawn Michaels Triple H feud around this time was just fucking it was just legendary so great But a great match 2004 Shawn Michaels versus Chris Benoit episode 571 May 3rd 2003 was a bad year for raw 2004 However saw a massive influx of talent capable of putting on fantastic matches with extreme regularity just like this one Benoit and Michaels were maybe the best workers in WWE at the time and the two of them wrestling a half-hour classic for the Pickle is a prime example of why raw was actually so good in 2004 this finish though Be all about Triple H Shawn Michaels versus Shelton Benjamin episode 6. This is a good one, too The infamous super kick out of nowhere with Sheldon Benjamin jumping from the top row. Oh my god. That was just insane Whoo, that was a good match 23 May 2nd best super kick of all time Three years in a row HB Schizzle having the best raw match of the year The final leg of this trilogy stands as one of the best matches in raw history and a prime example of why Sheldon Benjamin should have been given so Much more of a chance. I could talk about this match until But all I want to talk about is this Edge versus Rick flair episode 660 January 16th It took nearly six years for WWE to put on their first TLC singles match and when fans thought about all the great Candidates to have that first singles TLC match I don't think any of them would have considered Rick flair as one of the men involved That does not mean the match wasn't great Edge and flair didn't do a lot of high-flying But they put on a smartly worked match that had the crowd in a frenzy by the time Edge retrieved his belt Also, look at Charlotte 2007 John Cena versus Shawn Michaels episode 720. Wait, that was on it Hold on. That's crazy. Had the crowd in a frenzy by the time Edge retrieved his belt. Also, look Wow Charlotte 2000 wait, wait, what that's crazy She does she was there for that. That's that's fucking dope. That's fucking dope. She when you look at her on this picture She looked completely different obviously, but that that's pretty cool that she was there in 2007 John Cena versus Shawn Michaels episode 726 April 23rd Is there a more legendary raw match just a match that has become part of the this match? I'm glad this was on it. It's had to be on there, bro. I believe they was in the UK one of the best matches on Monday night raw bro ridiculous this this match was just Pay-per-view quality good, bro insane lore of the show and respected by basically everyone just weeks after their epic match in the main event of WrestleMania John Cena and Shawn Michaels put on one of the longest matches in raw history 56 minutes and tearing the house down right here in London, England You don't see matches like this on dog then or now and as a result This is an achievement of a performance when you consider the ability needed to not only wrestle for an hour But be this entertaining for an hour. That was great Jeff Hardy versus umaga episode 7 this was good Whisper in the wind of all my god, this is good recipe so long. Oh, this was good, bro This was so good, bro. Oh This was this is what a cage match should be this was fantastic Time Jeff Hardy and umaga had really great chemistry with one another and that was on full display here When they were locked in a steel cage in the main event of raw roulette 2008 This is a really fun cage match with Hardy trying to fight off his monstrous opponent while dealing with Randy Orton's Parents from the outside before getting the win with the best whisper in the wind of all 2009 John Cena versus Shawn Michaels episode 816 January 12th during his second run with WWE Shawn Michaels had the best raw match of the year five Separate times you don't call them the best for nothing Cena and HBK rekindled their 2007 rivalry just in time for Shawn's boss JBL to have a terrible match with John Cena at the Royal Rumble And if that sounds stupid, that's because it was It was an underrated gem with Because it is written in stone that Shawn beats Cena every time unless the title is on the line 10 Randy Orton versus Edge versus Chris Jericho episode 895 July 19 Don't ask me why I vividly remember this episode of raw from 2010 But it was a phenomenal show the episode where Cena forms team WWE to take on the Nexus starts with this all-star Triple threat match orton Edge and Jericho all battled to face Sheamus for the WWE Championship And here Edge and Jericho's 2010 rivalry keeps getting in the way of either man getting the win with Orton coming away with it at the Height of his popularity 2011 the Miz versus John Morrison episode 919 January 3rd The only good title defense of the Miz's WWE Championship On the first raw 2011 Miz the Miz Mizanin put his belt on the line against the parkour prince and former tag team partner John Morrison Too many WWE false count anywhere matches still end in the ring and I can't stand it So any false count anywhere match that ends literally anywhere else gets a bold star from me like this one 2012 Dolph Ziggler versus Daniel Bryan episode 2013 October 22nd It is absolutely incredible to see how much of a difference in star power there is between mr Money in the bank supposedly with a bright future Dolph Ziggler Yeah should have been me Dolph Ziggler here He takes on former world heavyweight champion Daniel Bryan and is presented as being completely on his level They are two talented wrestlers doing a talented wrestle in front of fans that haven't been beaten down by the treatment of both men yet Brian is in his no-face in Canary. Yeah entertaining 2013 CM Punk versus John Cena episode 1030 February 18th What would the timeline look like if this match simply had a different result CM Punk and John Cena may have been each other's greatest opponents and on February 18th 2013 They had their last match together that's one or they'd done a schmaw's and done a triple-threaded mania giving punk that mania main event He wanted so badly. Who knows how we look back at the past decade of punk history Also, there's a pile driver in this match. That's just me 2014 the Wyatt's versus the shield Oh The sequel to the two factions excellent match at elimination This is why it's beat the shield not simply because they overwhelm them separating each shield member from the pack and beating them at their Own numbers game, but because this is where Seth Rollins had enough of his team's bickering Seth walks out to end a fantastic trio's match furthering the tension within the shield and foreshadowing the group's real split months later That was a good one Episode 1154 July 6th to be perfectly honest There are about a dozen matches that could have made excellent entries for 2015 Seth Rollins versus Neville Roman Reigns versus Isaro, but when you think of raw in 2015 you think of John Cena's us open challenge us open challenge by John bro Was so fun. It was it was good. He was putting on some great Matches this was good. This was cool to see because the United States championship actually felt like something important For the first time in a long time it felt like a big deal And now in my opinion it has definitely gained its prestige by default because Raw doesn't really have a champion like Roman Reigns doesn't really be on raw like that Or defending the title so the top title on Monday night raw is the United States championship So they have no other choice, but to make it feel important, but at this time this was US open challenge bro Man, that shit was great Hell there are 10 candidates just from that reign alone However on July 6th Cena took on Cesaro in a pay-per-view main event caliber match going a half hour in the main event of the show And tearing the house down like we had never seen in 2015 before 2016 Charlotte versus Sasha Banks episode 1227 November 28th for as jank as Sasha Banks and charlotte's pay-per-view matches were in 2016 Every time they wrestled on raw they killed it Uh-huh three times Sasha won the title could have made it on here But the falls count anywhere match the two had on November 28th is the best of the bunch and hey look at this finish Not in the ring From dear old tempest. Look at this bank statement. Jesus wet that bank statement between the rails was brutal and I loved it That's beautiful 2017 Bailey versus charlotte episode 1238 February 13th 2017 was a very strange time WWE seemed bound and determined to take the slam dunk moment of bailey's first main roster title win And do every single possible thing wrong with it. Wait at WrestleMania Nah break charlotte's pay-per-view undefeated streak in a satisfying way Nah, how bailey admit that she didn't deserve to be champion, but was going to be champion anyway Yup, how did you land on that the match itself is the only bit they got right in this equation bailey and charlotte brought that nxt level of quality to the main roster 2018 Seth Rollins versus fin baller episode 1301 april 30th Seth Rollins and fin baller had a pair of excellent matches in early 2018 But this one was for the intercontinental championship raising their titles value with another great title defense And this match was given the distinction of being the main event of the show This was the best seth was as a baby face And he had simply allowed him the chance to have a long run as icy champion with I think yep, this is right around the time. He was a baby face. He was an icy champ They should have ran with that They should have ran with that because he was pretty much he was carrying monday night raw on his back It was monday night Rollins. He was carrying it on his back with the icy championship. It was fucking great Title defenses like this. He'd have been the top baby face. WWE always wanted him to be 19 The revival versus chat gable and bobby rude episode 1342 The reports from the house shows at the time were that the gable and rude versus revival matches were consistently fantastic And consistently tore the house down watching this match. I can fully believe it However, those matches probably got a better live reaction than this one got two awesome teams having the tv match of the year In front of absolute silence then this is awesome chant then back to silence might as well have had no fans at all Yeah, and that's the thing about and they're obviously Arguably the bat one of the best tag teams in the world. But the problem is Is the fact that Shoddy booking with them and the casual fan just does not care as much Well, and it also depends on where you know, this takes place like Them having a match on dynamite aw Instant crowd reaction doesn't matter what they do crowd's gonna go crazy Having a match in a random town on monday night raw WWE No, if it's not a wrestling city, there's a good chance the crowd May come alive here and there and then they'll just be sitting there quiet that's just That's just the nature of wrestling in wwe But for aw or not anywhere they go any city, they will always get a reaction Wait, no 2020 randy orton versus drew mackin tire episode 1,434 november 16 The bad times this is the best of a cursed bunch drew mackin tire wins the wwe title back That's happy fun time But it can never be watched again because they're wrestling in front of your Dad trying to figure out how to make his browser full screen. I can't talk about pandemic wrestling anymore We move 2021 seth rollins versus ray mysterio versus fin baller versus kevin owens episode 1 483 october 25th It is tricky to have an ultra memorable ladder match these days However, putting four of your best wrestlers in the match with high stakes is a good place to start The ever important season premiere of raw these dudes took bumps no one should be taking on free tv Hey, you tell paper not to swant on his way on paper view quality Raider matches this one will be on it 2022 rk bro versus alpha academy versus kevin owens and seth rollins episode 1502 march 7th. Here's a thought that doesn't often creep into my head I miss randy orton orton spent so much time doing nonsense with the fiend that when he finally got to just wrestle some matches He was great everyone was desperately trying to find a match for wrestlemania So in a sense this match had added stakes even though that's a weird way to promote your wrestlers for your big show But these dudes are all great and we get another all-time great. Yeah, that was a beautiful spot 2023 austin theory versus seth rollins episode 1545 january 2nd slim pickings here not that this match wasn't good We've just got three rows to work with in 2023 so far Seth Rollins has been the best in-ring performer on raw for the past several years And it doesn't appear that that is going to change in 2023 Rollins tried to get his us title back on the first raw of the year And while he didn't manage it, he did manage to have the best match of the whole year the whole year No need to continue cancel raw there And that's our list make sure of course that you subscribe to parts No, that was a good match so far of the year. So so far He's he's on track, you know, we will see what happened with the future The one raw match I can think of that I Wish probably was one of his list and maybe y'all feel differently about it is the the match to find out who was going to be the new universal champion and uh at the time because fin baller had to relinquish it because he got injured and Match was funny. You didn't know how I was gonna play out thought it was going to be Roman Reigns being the guy, but they pulled a mega swerve triple h curbing out there Screwing over Roman Reigns then screwing over saffron's for kevin owens To get the to get the win, bro All that was such a good moment out. That was a very fun match in my opinion Even before the screwy finish. So but comment down below. Let me know. What was your favorite monday night raw match of all Time let me know down below, but I appreciate all the love and support You guys have shown on the channel row to 150k and I am still You know, just be the youtube wrestler champ of the world.
