Wwe Raw: Vince Mcmahon
built 137 days ago
WWE Raw began its legacy way back in 1993. It started out as a taped show from Madison Square Garden each week. It would feature top notch wrestling superstars including the Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Bret Hart and British Bulldog. The color commentary team calling the matches featured Jerry "the King" Lawler and the current chairman of WWE, Vince McMahon. Of course as the show progressed, Vince eventually entered into the show, its stories and matches more. And as the show advanced various wrestlers became superstars.

Triple H's old DX companion Shawn Michaels had made his return to the WWE and joined the nWo, and Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash planned to bring Triple H over to RAW in order to put him into the group. However, Vince McMahon disbanded the nWo following several backstage complications and brought in Eric Bischoff as RAW's new general manager. One of Bischoff's first intentions was to follow up on the nWo's plan and woo Triple H over to the RAW roster. Triple H did indeed jump over to RAW, reuniting with Shawn Michaels, but on July 22, 2002 he turned heel once again by turning on Michaels, hitting a surprise Pedigree on him during what was supposed to be a DX reunion. The following week, Triple H smashed Michaels' face brutally into a car window to prove that Michaels was "weak". These events led to the beginning of a long, heated rivalry between the former partners, and an eventual "Unsanctioned Street Fight" at SummerSlam 2002, in which Michaels came out of retirement and won.

Several channels announced the episode was being withheld for legal reasons. A substitute RAW, hosted by Todd Grisham from WWE Studios, was created featuring recaps of big-time championship changes of the past year. The episode started with the 'apology message' from Vince McMahon which originally started the June 26 ECW episode.
