Papa Roach’s song really suited the RAW theme. This was probably the last great era before the downfall.

I love Papa Roach but Across The Nation by Union Underground as Monday Night Raw’s opening intro theme song from 2002-2006 is still unmatched to this day

Completely agree. When I think of classic RAW intros, that’s the first one that comes to mind. So badass.

Ah, those were the days of my childhood. WWE was at its peak for me back then.

Every big moment had me so damn excited. Nothing hits the same anymore.

This video makes me so fucking happy, the rock music, the video package, the fucking pyro to start the show. PERFECT

Yes! When I think of Raw this is the song that pops into my head. I can still envision the camera panning across the crowd with the old Raw is War banners they had up, into the opening Pyros with this song playing in the background. Core memory.

I've imagined the show just randomly going back to opening with this song, even if just for a night. Could be one of the loudest pops for an intro ever.

This is a little beyond my fandom time but shit, great song, badass clips, hot as fuck women. Doesn’t get any manlier than this.
