Jim Ross wrote a blog today on the 900th edition of Raw & some of his favorite memories:
DX…which helped launch HHH, re-invent HBK and made stars of Billy Gunn, Road Dog, and Chyna. Every one came along at the right place at the right time with the right presentation for their persona’s in a male friendly 18-34 demo. To me, this faction was as good as it gets and ranks in the same breath with the Horsemen.
I remember some great comedy…Rock ‘n Sock…Austin/Angle/McMahon…DX…among others…and I remember the head shakers. I’m not casting stones as I uttered my share of head shakers on Monday nights, too.
HBK’s farewell…it touched me and moved me to tears again even though I was in a safe environment, my home in Norman. When Shawn mentioned me in his farewell address my eyes welled with tears. That was an amazing honor for me following WM26. (I’ve always thought that going to San Antonino to speak with Shawn about ending his 4 year or so hiatus was one of my best accomplishments in WWE.)
