The Raw Files

The team at www.historyofwrestling.info are back with the fifth in their series documenting every episode of WWF Monday Night Raw, year by year. We cover every angle, segment and match in detail, and offer plenty of thoughts and facts along the way. The book is written and presented in the usual HOW style, with various awards, match lists and a host of star ratings for fans to debate at will. New this time are additional awards, a Hall of Shame covering the bouts to avoid, some of the better promos fully transcribed and a bonus additional "Shotgun Files" book contained within! It is also easily the biggest Raw Files yet, coming it at approximately 170,000 words! Learn about one of the most tumultuous years in WWF history, with the formation of the Hart Foundation; the fallout from the Montreal Screwjob; the further rise of Steve Austin and The Rock; surprise appearances and returns; an invasion from ECW; legendary promos and angles and so much more!
