The Quebecers were consistently pumping out great fun matches and angles in the first couple of years on Raw which largely goes unsung.

Quebecers are the MVPs of the first 2 years of Raw by far. I tweeted about it the other night and got a pretty big response of people agreeing. Sure, Bret and Razor and HBK were better, but the Quebecers wrestled real matches on Raw FAR more often, usually twice a month, sometimes 3-4 weeks in a row. Most amazing because Mountie's solo run was such fukking dogshyt for the prior 3 years.

Am I allowed to say the Usos over the last like 3 years? If we want an official start i guess we can say that Battleground match they had against the Wyatt family. Whenever that was is the start. Switched them heel and they got even better.

they are currently on the best run in their career easily in my opinion

The NWA invasion in WWF 1997-1998 It could of have gone far if only Vince wasn't a vindictive piece of work

Vampiro, ICP, and raven(briefly) run in 1999 feuding with Eddie and filthy animals

Blitzkrieg early 99. Man still has a buzz off like a 3 month run.

That really is something. That dude came out of nowhere, did some next level flippy shyt that would be state of the art in 2017, then vanished and was essentially never heard from again and everyone remembers it.

He could've easily gone to the WWF and been misused in bad comedy angles for years!:ohlawd:

Saturn in WCW 98-99
RVD in WWE 2001
John Morrison As ECW Champ
Albert/Giant Bernard run in NJPW
Benoit & Malenko as a Tag in WCW 99
Dustin Rhodes early WCW run
Reminds me of ANOTHER missed opportunity (TM WCW): Raven & Saturn got MEGA over organically as plucky reunited face team (also thx to uberheel a$$hole enemies Benoit/Malenko)...then nothing...Raven got injured, then got involved with Muta/ICP/Vampiro stuff, Saturn lost the tag titles to the Triad thx to SWERVEKANYONTURN, afterwards became part of the dusty Revolution stable

Kane's first 9 months of being unmasked. Got the menace back to his character.

Scott Steiner's 06 TNA run. The match with Samoa Joe took Joe to another level of legitimacy, and the promos were GOATly.

let's keep this going i'm eating good off this :myman:

surprised nobody mentioned Rey Mysterio's IC title run, dude was having great matches then he got popped for wellness :snoop:







was much better than that craptastic, disgraceful world title run they gave him :supascust:


That was legitimately underrated...no one talks about that run.

I'm :beli: at brehs in here saying Kane's first run without the mask and MeanMark's Hall of Pain run. Those are legendary runs that will be remembered period.
