I've been mourning the loss of "RAW is WAR" since it was changed, and I completely understand why the change was made once the US went to war. But it's been almost 8 years since they changed it, and I still miss it.  |

Wasn't "RAW is WAR" supposed to represent the Monday Night Wars between WWE and WCW?

If I remember correctly the reason the name was changed from RAW is War was due to the events on 9-11.
I remember it being called RawZone for a while which was just flat out stupid.

I miss the days when RAW is WAR and War Zone would come on back to back, and when you were watching, you'd always know when it was halfway over, because the watermark for RAW is WAR would come on, and then the TV-14 for War Zone would come on. I don't know why I miss it, but I do.
I also miss the days a few years before that when everyone would enter from the giant RAW letters as seen in this video:

The first hour is now just called Raw while the second is called the Raw Zone. The only way to notice is by looking at the onscreen graphics. Half way through the show it changes. I think if ever they pull the trigger on a huge Raw vs Smackdown fued then they should change the name back.

it was still Raw is War as of end of Feb. 2002 when using the WWF name (says my ticket stub). So sometime between March 2002- the WWE name change is when they dropped WAR.

It should never be Raw is War again. When I think of that I think of an entirely different era where there was actually a wrestling "War" to speak of.
Only thing I miss is the original Raw Is War Theme where Stone Cold walks through the fire and you see guys like Sid and Bret Hart fighting in a ring. That whole intro was awesome. lol Ahmed walking with a 4x4.

I don't think it will ever be renamed War if it is PG.
I think the name is good the way it is.
