May 28, 2026

We are back with another special edition of 'The R.A.W Report' taking it back to the year 1995!!

That year saw the WWF hit one of it's worst financia, and creative, years ever whilst, it's competitor, WCW continued to build such momentum that they were given a prime time slot on TNT for 'Monday Nitro'!!!

ECW continued to make noise, and shake up the landscape of Pro Wrestling, with both classic hardcore and scientific matches not seen anywhere else at the time (well, except for in Japan but you had to be a tape trader back then to really know that).

The world of Rap/Hip-Hop was beginning to go into full battle mode with the 'East Coast vs. West Coast' beef starting to heat up with, Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight throwing a diss towards, Bad Boy Records CEO, Puff Daddy at that year's 'Source Awards'!!!

But 1995 was more than on stage bickering, between two label executives, as artists such as Raekwon and Mobb Deep were dropping timeless classics that still get play over three decades later!!!

So ladies and gentlemen let's look at some of the releases, and events, that made 1995 such a great year in the worlds of Rap and Wrestling -
