*September 23, 1996 - The debut of the "Fake" Diesel and Razor Ramon characters. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, who played the characters respectively during their time in WWE, had left for WCW earlier in the year. However, the WWF still owned the rights to the names. Razor Ramon was played by Rick Bognar and Diesel was played by Glen Jacobs. Jacobs would go on to become Kane about a year later, in October 1997. The segment has been panned as well as being known for one of the more stranger ''Raw'' segments.
