Tonight is WWE's RAW 900th Episode Celebration! Below are some details of the show + other information & features. And a new Twitter trend I want to start...
It’s the longest-running weekly episodic television series in U.S. history. It has brought iconic Superstars such as Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Shawn Michaels, “Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock and John Cena into millions of homes each week. And on Aug. 30, 2010, it celebrates an unprecedented sports-entertainment milestone – its historic 900th episode.
Now airing in more than 145 countries and reaching half a billion households worldwide, few would imagine that Monday Night Raw came from humble beginnings, emanating from a small New York City theater when it debuted on Jan. 11, 1993. But through its explosive combination of high-octane action, memorable matches, shocking moments and sensational Superstars, Raw has remained Monday night’s most exciting show throughout its 17-and-a-half year history.
To help offer some perspective on how much ground Raw has covered, WWE.com offers up the following (semi) scientifically-calculated facts and figures regarding what 900 episodes works out to. Drag your mouse over the image below to find out all the numbers, and be sure to tune in to the monumental 900th episode of Raw – featuring Superstars from both Raw and SmackDown – on Monday, Aug. 30, at 9/8 CT.

Back on March 15, 2010, Austin was special guest host for the Vince McMahon/Bret Hart Wrestlemania 26 contract signing. In case you missed it, go to WWE.com for more details, or check out the video re-cap that is here on the website.
WWEShop.com also has some great RAW DVD's, including their newest RAW DVD, "RAW: The Beginning - The Best of Seasons 1 & 2.
Relive the first two years of Raw with this 4-DVD set packed with more than 11 hours of matches and highlights featuring Bret "Hit Man" Hart, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and more!
Expect to see some great & memorable Austin moments tonight. I am sure Austin will NOT be making an appearance. He's currently headed to Texas, unless it's a pre-recorded message (which I doubt). He Tweeted last week to a fan on Twitter that he will not be there.
