DVD Review: The Best of Raw 15th Anniversary

This 4-Disc DVD set is absolutely some of the best moments on the WWE's flagship show, Monday Night Raw, which has gone through a few name changes since January 1993 (Monday Night Raw, Raw Is War/The War Zone and just plain Raw). The first wrestling show to declare itself "Uncooked, Uncensored and Uncut," this DVD set includes some of the top Superstars to come through the WWE over the years. The first episode featured two Superstars who are STILL going strong in WWE 15 years later, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. Other Superstars featured include John Cena, Triple HHH, Marty Jannetty, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Bret "Hitman" Hart, The Rock, Degeneration-X, Razor Ramon, Mick Foley (in all his different guises), Chris Jericho, Kane, Kurt Angle, Randy Orton, Batista, Ric Flair, Edge, Lita, Brian Pillman and many more. Many highlights are shown featuring all these Superstars, including the McMahon family (Vince, Linda, Shane and Stephanie). The McMahons are especially featured as part of the Austin era, but their highlights do not overwhelm the production. This set has so many memories, including some more recent highlights from the last few years. I do highly recommend this set for fans of the flagship show of World Wrestling Entertainment for a great overview. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
