What Happened To EVERY Wrestler From WWE Raw's First Episode?

Спорт

It's hard to believe, but January 11, 2020 marks 27 years since the birth of the most historic, and still-presently contemporary, wrestling TV series of all time, WWE Monday Night Raw. Few would've guessed that that initial live broadcast from New York's Manhattan Center would spawn over 1300 (and counting) episodes, while serving as epicenter for an endless list of legendary moments. Let's take a look at What Happened To Every Wrestler From WWE Raw's First Episode?

    *What Happened To The Venue?* Built in 1906, the Manhattan Opera House in New York City was established by Prussian businessman Oscar Hammerstein I, who wished to compete with the existing Metropolitan Opera. Within 4 years he was so successful that the Met paid him $1.2 million to stop producing operas for a decade, effectively buying him out. The following year Hammerstein reopened the venue as a vaudeville & concert hall before eventually selling the building. By 1922 it had actually become owned by a local chapter of the Freemasons, who built the *Grand Ballroom* that same year to accommodate the venue's existing ballroom, which now bears Hammerstein's name. (Yes, the one that hosted ECW's final PPVs and One Night Stand - they're both housed in the same building.) In 1926 Warner Bros. used the Grand Ballroom to record the soundtrack to the film _Don Juan_ starring John Barrymore, the first film to feature a full musical score, and in 1939 the building's name was changed to the *Manhattan Center.* Over the coming decades the venue would be a popular host to concerts, trade shows as well as wrestling events - beyond its debut broadcast, quite a few other episodes of RAW were taped at the Grand Ballroom before the WWF left in November to begin touring the show weekly, which remains to this day. Since then Manhattan Center's Grand Ballroom has hosted numerous concerts, particularly after a 1997 renovation; as well as weekly church gatherings from Hillsong NYC, and other wrestling promotions: TNA and RoH have both run events there in the past, and in January 2018 hosted (part of) RAW's 25th anniversary show.
