This DVD celebrates the 10 year anniversary of the WWE's flagship show RAW. Whilst what is on the DVD is satisfactory I couldn't help but feel they could have done so much more with this.
The main feature is the awards ceremony which includes numerous awards being handed out and appearances by your favourite WWE superstars including The Rock, Chris Jericho, HBK, Triple H, Kane, ect. Also we see the 10 most memorable moments in RAW history as voted by the fans including DX invading WCW, Steve Austin drowning Vince McMahon with beer and the Owen Hart memorial show which was a very fitting tribute to the great man.
The extras are as follows:-
RAW Retro Moments:-
RAW Debut 1-2-3Kid beats Razor Ramon Vince-"Bret Screwed Bret" Sable Undressed Zamboni 3:16 Stone Cold pours concrete into Mr. McMahon's Corvette Mick Foley wins the WWE Championship!!! The Black Wedding "Y2Y" Arrives Unholy Matrimony "It never happened" Mae Young gets Wood Angle Moonsaults off cage The Milkman Cometh "J.R."Joins Mr. McMahon's "Kiss my ass" Club Never say never TLC 2002 Raw Divas
Matches:- Main Event from first RAW Undertaker vs Damien Demento 1/11/93 RAW's Greatest Match TLC 2002 10/7/02
Plus:- The Making of RAW on the Roof Behind the Scenes at RAW's 10th Anniversary Spectacular RAW 10th Anniversary Recap on SmackDown!
Awards not seen on TV:- "Now that's an Entrance" "Lasting Impression"
The extras are my main point of concern with this DVD, although it may seem that there is a wide selection, the majority are short clips and of the two matches included, one is truly great but the other is a poor match of no real significance.
I really thing this should have been a 2 disc set and included a whole disc of bonus matches - there are so many classic matches to choose from the 10 years of RAW and I feel it would pushed this release into the upper echelon of Wrestling DVD's.
Alas it was not to be, what you do get is a good DVD packed with memorable moments but lacking in any real depth. I would say if you can find it discounted then it is worth picking up as I'm sure the clips will raise a smile and remind you of days gone by.

I thought this DVD was so-so. I too would have liked a second disc full of all the best Raw matches (I'm mean there are tonnes of great ones each year). Pete

This sounds like a DVD produced just so Vince and co can make a quick buck. It's just plain lazy, especially considering the excellent DVDs they have produced, like From the Vault: Shawn Michaels and Mick Foleys greatest hits n' misses. Shame.
