It looks like they'll be posting these and I'll be watching. First episode had an okay Shawn Michaels vs. Max Moon match.
1993 is a really odd era. A lot of hold overs from the 80s winding down their runs. It was weird seeing Koko B. Ware and Mean Gene on Raw.
Holy shit were the Steiners beating the shit out of those jobbers.
I'm excited to see these posted because I can watch the PPVs along with the television.
Episode 3 isn't up yet which sucks because I think that has Flair/Perfect. But I'll be checking out episode 2 this weekend.

They actually aired the episode with Flair/Perfect a couple of days ago. I love the shit out of that match.

I just looked, and they have the 1st 4 raws up, then they skip 2, then they have a couple more.
Watching them from the beginning certainly could be fun! Kinda makes me want to make a 1993 WWF set, actually.

The first episode is gone now (it was there earlier this morning)... watched the 2nd one... downright bizarre angle with the repo man, but really funny. Crazy how long ago 1993 is... Flair looks great, even Pat Patterson has only a bit of Gray, and Vince looks SOOO young. Also, I forgot how horrendous Vince was calling matches... 'what a maneuver' is the most popular hold in the WWF, apparently. Geesh... learn some terminology, man! Also, Rob Bartlett makes a good Heenan stand in  Ep 3 promises Flair-Perfect and Savage-Repo Man, which should be good... I'll probably watch the '93 rumble first, though. Weird seening the flagship WWF show have only 3 matches on it (one a jobber squash)... was this when they had 'WWF War ZOne' right after? Or is that later? |

Nope, RAW was just that one hour for the first few years. RAW went two hours in 1997 around the time they did the ECW Invasion at the Manhattan Center. |

Episode two had pretty solid Taylor/Perfect and Santana/Flair matches.
The Repo Man gimmick is so awful but Barry Darsow really makes it work by just being a ridiculous asshole.

Watched the 1993 Rumble and the 3rd episode of Raw. Looks like they took episode one off and now have episodes 7-12 but still no signs of episode 5 or 6.

Yeah, that is pretty odd. I'm planning on watching the Rumble next.. probably tomorrow instead of Raw... no real need to watch the Chicago crowd chant their brains out.

Seriously? OK, that'd make me watch.

Seeing all this build up to WMIX. It really kind of surprises me that the event turned out so bad. They did a really good job with the build and they paired good workers up together. And Mr. Perfect was having good matches with everyone going in and laid an egg at the show.

A lot of the card was bad on paper (Razor/Backlund, Doink/Crush, Money Inc/Beefcake and Hogan, Undertaker/Gonzales, Perfect/Narcissist) but the stuff that you'd expect to be good (Steiners/Headshrinkers, Tatanka/Shawn Michaels) ended up being good. Yoko/Bret ended up not being terrible, I'd much rather watch the WM IX incarnation of that match than the WM X main event. And Mr. Perfect was having good matches with everyone going in and laid an egg at the show. Well...he was working with Lex Luger in 1993. I still hate that they gave Bret the big shove in 1992 when Hennig was far better and given how the crowd reacted when he turned face, could have been a bigger deal than Bret since Bret wasn't all that big of a deal until he beat Diesel for the title. |

They should have tried to keep Flair a little longer and save that Loser Leaves Town match for Mania. Hart is really over and clearly the best worker in the company. I just watched him and Fatu have a really good Raw match.

I don't think Bret was better than Hennig at any point until they were both in WCW and even then, Hennig was probably better. He just didn't care. |

I watched about 1/2 the Royal Rumble from '93... wow, it's bad. It was kinda fun seeing college boy Scott Steiner, but boy did their match with the Beverlys go on too long. Also, it was really, really, akward and painful to see Bobby Heenan spend 10 minutes telling us how pretty Lex Luger is while Luger looked at himself in the mirror. I vaguely remember the segment back in the day (I think it was the pee break for me), but man, that has to be close to the worst PPV segment ever.
