So I was watching some Raws from 1999 and there's one week where their was no Raw on a Monday for some reason.. anybody know why? The date for it was the 2nd of Febuary and it was in Canada if that's the reason for it. Just seems kinda random

I remember a lot of times USA would air the Westminster Dog Show instead of Raw, not sure if it happened in this specific instance.

Being knocked off for the Dog Show was one of the things that sent WWE to TNN back in 2000.

Yeah they did it once or twice in 1998 I believe as well. I believe it was one of two reasons either the Westminster Dog Show or some Tennis Tournament.

There was definitely one in 1998. It was the one where The Rock gave Faarooq a portrait of himself as a gift.

I went to one of these that was recorded at The Rosemont Horizon in Chicago. It had The Patriot on it. And if I remember correctly, a lot of the matches ended in DQs.

I dunno about Saturday but they had a "Thursday Raw Thursday" edition of Raw in. 1997 which is when HBK lost his smile.
That damn dog show was such BS. I would get so pissed when that happened. It would ruin my entire week as a kid.

Yeah I remember when I would find out the dog show was on instead and I'd scream like a bitch. I love dogs but damn them k-9's straight to hell!
Is this the reason the night Mankind beat Rock for the title was taped instead of live? Remember WCW spoiled it to their audience and then everyone tuned in making it one of the highest rated Raws ever. Backfire Bishoff, backfire.

No, I think Raw still alternated between live and taped and that happened to be a taped week. I could be wrong though. |

Those dog shows used to piss me off every year when I was younger. Nothing worse than waiting all week to see what happens next only to see that crap on USA. I remember I'd keep flipping back in hopes that it would come on lol

Here is a bit of history:
Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show preemption's:
1993-1996 - RAW would be preempted for that week. Therefore, there wasn't a RAW on February 8th, 1993, February 14th, 1994, February 13th, 1995, & February 12th, 1996
1997 - RAW would be preempted in favor for Thursday RAW Thursday which aired on February 13th, 1997. This would ultimately be the first life two-hour edition of RAW
1998 & 1999 - RAW would air on Saturday dubbed as RAW Saturday Night (February 21st, 1998 & February 13th, 1999). In 1998, a one-hour version aired on a tape delay in Canada. However, RAW would air live in its entirely live on TSN the following year. When the 1999 Skydome RAW was added to WWE Classics on Demand, it was the live TSN telecast, not the USA RAW Saturday Night telecast.
2000 - RAW was aired live in Canada but on a tape delay on USA Network
2001-current, RAW has not be preempted since
US Open Tennis preemption's:
1993 & 1994 - There was no RAW on August 23rd, 1993 due to it being a one-hour version of the SummerSlam Spectacular special. The following year, the August 22nd, 1994 RAW was a one-hour version of the Sunday Night Slam special that aired the night prior. RAW was not on August 30th, 1993 and August 29th, 1994 due to SummerSlam taking place. The week after was due to the US Open taking place (September 6th, 1993 & September 5th, 1994)
1995 - RAW was preempted on August 28th & September 4th, 1995
1996 - RAW was preempted on August 26th, 1996 & September 2nd, 1996. However, they aired a RAW Championship Friday special on September 6th, 1996
1997 - RAW was preempted on August 25th & September 1st 1997. In place was two Friday Night's Main Event specials that aired on August 29th & September 5th, 1997. This was the event you alluded to in your post @simplyawesome
1998 - RAW was preempted on August 31st & September 7th, 1998. In place was RAW Saturday Night which aired on September 5th & 12th, 1998

You guys really know your history, or are just good at finding things I took my time researching my prior post. I know it would come in handy in case if someone poses the question as to what happened when RAW was preempted during those years. I am one of those research fanatics. |
