10 Most Iconic Moments in WWE Raw History

6: Pillman’s Got A Gun

Without a doubt, Steve Austin’s home invasion of Brian Pillman is one of the most controversial - but also iconic - moments in Monday Night Raw history. 

Why? Because Pillman had a gun. 

Brian Pillman’s tragic death brought an end to one of the most underrated, compelling careers in professional wrestling. The Cincinnati native bounced between WCW, ECW, and WWF, causing mayhem with his personal brand of loose-cannon anarchy. 

His most infamous angle came in 1996, during a November edition of Raw. Having previously been injured by former tag partner Stone Cold Steve Austin, Pillman conducted an interview with Kevin Kelly from his home in Kentucky. Fearing a further attack from Austin, he had surrounded his house with friends. 

That didn’t really work, as Austin quickly fought his way inside - only for Pillman to produce a gun and wave it at the Rattlesnake! 

To make things more chaotic, the feed cut out, leaving us all wondering what the hell had just happened. When video later returned, Pillman was being subdued, but was clearly heard dropping an F-bomb in the commotion. On live television.

WWF and Pillman later apologised for the whole incident, but it still went down in history as an example of the Attitude Era at its Rawest. 

Haha, Rawest. Because this is a list about Raw. Monday Night Raw, the wrestling show.
