The WWF taped several weeks worth of Raw from the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York in April 1993, and again in June and October. From Spring 1993 up until Spring 1997, Raw would tape several week's worth of episodes after a live episode had aired. However, the weekly live schedule proved to be a financial drain on the WWF. The combination of an intimate venue and live action proved to be a successful improvement. Raw originated from the Grand Ballroom at the Manhattan Center, a small New York City theater, and aired live each week. Instead of matches taped weeks in advance with studio voice overs and taped discussion, Raw was a show shot and aired to a live audience, with angles playing out as they happened. The Raw formula was considerably different from the taped weekend shows that aired at the time such as Superstars and Wrestling Challenge. Traditionally, wrestling shows were taped on sound stages with small audiences or at large arena shows.
