It’s run is over four times as long as Seinfeld’s. There have been more episodes of it than The Simpsons and ER combined. It’s the longest running weekly show in the U.S., and Monday Night Raw continues that streak on Sept. 22, 2008, with its landmark 800th episode.
Despite the fact that it first aired over 15 years ago, Raw today is as fresh and exciting as its first episode way back in 1993. A lot has happened in those 15 years – including the births of many members of the WWE Universe!
To help offer some perspective on how much ground Raw has covered, WWE.com offers up the following (semi)scientifically calculated facts and figures regarding what 800 episodes works out to.
