5 Most Important Matches In WWE Monday Night Raw History
Looking back at some fonder milestones after the latest ratings decline...
2. Steve Austin Vs. Vince McMahon (1998)
Eighty-three long weeks. Since June 1996, WCW Monday Nitro kept Raw underfoot, taking control of the Monday Night Wars with a hipper, fresher product, and riding that momentum quite a long ways. Then Vince stumbled onto the perfect antidote - himself as lead heel.
McMahon was still semi-neutral when the night started on April 13, 1998, but when enemy Stone Cold goaded him into accepting a match against him, the tide began turning. Raw ended up winning the night on the intrigue of a match that never even truly took place.
