When did raw get good?

By Scott Keith on 4 November 2014

Hey scott,

So a friend of a friend sent this over to me. Guy basically tries to find the reverse jump the shark moment and for raw he chose May 26th 1997. Is there really one episode/moment when RAW became can't miss? Is there an episode that sticks out for you?

​Yeah, last night when Rusev triumphed over the forces of Ireland and brought the US title back to Mother Russia!
Anyway, we here in Canada have a totally different perspective on the Monday Night Wars, of course, given that Nitro wasn't a thing up here and we couldn't just flip between the shows. But I recall that the Sid v. Bret cage match with "You don't know shit!" and all that really set the stage and felt like the first time in a long while where we really HAD to see the show on Mondays so as not to miss anything. ​
