    Tremendous video.
    Do recommend to anyone who sees this that they check out William Regals podcast episode where he talked about the benoit tribute episode. He was walking in the room to give his thoughts while JBL was walking by him, where Regal says that JBL stopped and asked him if he thought Chris had anything to do with what happened over that weekend. This curbed Regals initial thought process , who was going to praise benoit more thoroughly - which is how we get the awkward and kinda unnerving interview with Regal that we got. I remember hearing rumblings wwe found out partway through the show about what really happened at the benoit residence but I don't know if that was confirmed or not.

    The first ever Raw in Japan was something! But how about the first every Raw in the U.K.? in Manchester. As you know before then they did house shows and Sky Box office PPVs when they came to the U.K., when they finally brought Raw and SmackDown I was so happy. I was there at the first ever SmackDown, the Undertaker showed up but wasn’t shown on TV.
    I’ve been to a few but my favourite and one of the best shows was in Manchester, Raw (forgot what year) when DX was there and trying to get tickets to get in to Raw. Amazing!

    If you can do Smackdown Special Episodes, I and the community would appreciate it!

    Wow, I actually didn’t know raw ever aired on a night other than Monday.. started watching wrestling around 98-99 and was only 8-9 yrs old.
