For instance, events occurred such as Irwin R. The storylines and characters during the early years of Raw still had a healthy dose of the old Federation " gimmick-heavy" style. This meant that Raw was live one week and taped the next.
From early 1994 to September 1999, Raw was shown live on one Monday and then the next day (Tuesday) next Monday's Raw was taped. However, the weekly live schedule proved to be a financial drain on the WWF, and taped shows began airing every other week. The combination of an intimate venue and live action proved highly successful. Raw originated from the Grand Ballroom at Manhattan Center Studios, a small New York City theater, and aired live each week. The show also featured an interview with Razor Ramon. Ware, The Steiner Brothers defeating The Executioners, WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels defeating Max Moon and The Undertaker defeating Damien Demento. The first episode featured Yokozuna defeating Koko B. Instead of taped matches, with studio voice overs and taped chat, Raw was a show shot to a live audience, with angles as they happened. The Raw formula was very different than that of its predecessor, Prime Time Wrestling. Traditionally, wrestling shows were taped on sound stages with small audiences or at large arena shows.
The original Raw broke new ground in televised professional wrestling. Of the wrestlers featured on that occasion, only one is still actively wrestling with WWE: The Undertaker. It screened on the USA Network for one hour. The show as presented would be barely recognizable to a viewer of today's programming - as the WWF at the time was attempting to cater to a younger audience with cartoonish, one dimensional characters.
