#8 “This Is Your Life, Rock!” - September 27, 1999 (6.8)
The September 27th edition of RAW was special for a couple of reasons - first, the WWF Championship was defended in the main event, between The Rock and Triple H. Second - and the most important reason - this edition of RAW featured the ‘This Is Your Life’ segment, which drew a staggering 8.4 rating - the highest rated cable segment in the history of the business!
Crucially, it was also considered to be the one episode which proved to WCW that they could never compete with the WWE again. The segment became one of the most watched and talked about in recent memory, and in the main event, The Rock faced Triple H for the WWF Championship.
While ‘The Brahma Bull’ didn’t walk out as the WWE Champion, he did cement his status as one of the biggest names in the history of the business. The entire show did an overall rating of 6.8 - something Vince McMahon can only hope for today.
