In order to compete with World Championship Wrestling, WWE RAW would change its name to RAW is War in the year 1997, in line is what is known as the Attitude Era of WWE, where the programming became a lot more mature than it was. Monday Night RAW would celebrate its 20th Anniversary in 2012 and its 25th Anniversary in 2018, both with very special shows.Īt the peak of the Monday Night Wars with WCW, the latter gained the lead by a significant margin with the nWo angle, which was a lot edgier than anything WWE was putting on. WWE RAW would go to 3 hours from the year 2012, which marked the 1000th episode of the brand. This would lead to RAW going live more often, and also adding an extra hour (going from 1 hour to 2) to counter World Championship Wrestling programming.
WCW and the man at the helm, Eric Bischoff, were not afraid to play dirty and would often give out the results of taped RAW shows on air. While the show originally aired live, certain episodes would be taped after an episode was telecast live, to save costs over the long haul.Įverything would change after the arrival of WWE’s competitors- World Championship Wrestling whose flagship show WCW Monday Nitro (a play on Monday Night RAW) would surpass WWE RAW in ratings for weeks on end.
