WWE Raw 3/24 Thread featuring Ahh-nold, Scooby Doo, and some wrestlers people may or may not care about

[#1-norm-fan]

That was awesome.

I was always of the thought that Cena and Wyatt shouldn't touch until Mania. And if they do touch each other, it should be with the lights out.

... I should probably rephrase that.

[slik]

Awesome visual with Cena in the sheep mask

[Theo Dious]

How did we all miss this????

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BjiQJUZCAAAvW2U.jpg

Because none of us likes to stare at Batista's ass? I hope even the gays aren't looking at that.

[Hanso Amore]

Wow I am digging Harper

[Lock Jaw]

Pirate Naomi got all the booty

[Swiss Ultimate]

Way to slow things down for me, WWE.

[el bobbo]

Yes. Divas match. I just finished on my exercise bike and need a shower.

[Lock Jaw]

Here comes AJ to to the job

[Tazz Dan]

That was awesome.

I was always of the thought that Cena and Wyatt shouldn't touch until Mania. And if they do touch each other, it should be with the lights out.

As I was reading this, the music from Macho Man and Elizabeth's wedding started going through my head.

[RVDmark]

Where the hell is Brodus Clay?

[RVDmark]

Here comes AJ to to the job

Kinky :naughty:

[el bobbo]

I do want to do sick and despicable things to AJ.

[Jura]

iPatch

[#1-norm-fan]

I wonder if the champion will lose this non-title match and leave Michael Cole in shock that the champion has been defeated.

[Savio]

No one is booing the womens match being cut short.

[Corndad]

Yeah this is happening at Mania.

[Lock Jaw]

They didn't even say that this was a title match, did they?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Thanks WWE, I was worried it would be a long match....


GREEEEEAT.

[RVDmark]

I do want to do sick and despicable things to AJ.

You're doing it wrong.:y::y:

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh. It's a title match. Nevermind...

[Droford]

AJ's new shirt looks like one of Punk's old shirts

[Bobo]

What I would give to have a naked oil wrestling match with Tamina Snuka

[#1-norm-fan]

HOLY FUCK lol

WWE usually saves the naughty words for bigger stars when it matters. Vickie gets a "bitch"!

[Corndad]

Basically AJ is losing the title. #ThanksPunk

[Savio]

Rihanna?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Is Eva the one who doesn't know how to sell?

[Savio]

Vickie should add herself to the match too.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What the fuck?

[Corndad]

I thought that was Kharma's music when Vicki started laughing hahaha

[Dark One]

Vickie Guerrero sounds like an entire haunted house.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Phrasing Lawler.

[Savio]

No love for JoJo :(

[#1-norm-fan]

Uh oh. There seems to be a rift between Lei'D Tamina and AJ Kim.

[Corndad]

Random thought how did Eva Marie get a Mania match in 1 year while it took Lawler how many?

[Droford]

Vickie should add herself to the match too.

Thought for sure that's where it was going. Is there a diva not involved?

[Lock Jaw]

Uh oh. There seems to be a rift between Lei'D Tamina and AJ Kim.

Sick and tired of WWE copying TNA.... :roll:

[Swiss Ultimate]

Feel like I should have watched Smackdown.

[Tazz Dan]

Scott Hall!

[#1-norm-fan]

I kinda wanted Vickie to just start saying ridiculous names.

Or for them to throw to commercial while she was naming all the challengers and by the time they come back, she's naming dudes. "... and Zack Ryder... and Curt Hawkins..."

[Bobo]

Mae Young memorial battle Royale would have been better but as long as Tamina wins and then she gets to posed topless with the belt whilst I rub oil into her body then it's fine.

[RVDmark]

Sick and tired of WWE copying TNA.... :roll:

Makes a nice change from TNA copying WWE.

[Swiss Ultimate]

They're really going out of their way to have everyone appear on the show. Good for them.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why is Hall going in before Nash?

[Swiss Ultimate]

#banbossy

[Swiss Ultimate]

Why is Hall going in before Nash?

Razor > Diesel

[#1-norm-fan]

Sick and tired of WWE copying TNA.... :roll:

That wasn't necessarily a one copying the other reference. It was a general reference that they're the same story with eerily similar characters that started and seems to be ending at roughly the same time.

[RVDmark]

Why is Hall going in before Nash?

Probably getting him in while they can in case he falls of the wagon again. #SadButTrue

[Corndad]

Say Hello... to the BAD GUY.

1 more... for the Good Guys.

[Crimson]

YeYah

[Lock Jaw]

This may be one of the best HoF classes ever....

[RVDmark]

This may be one of the best HoF classes ever....

Agreed. Although now that I know of every person being inducted, I'm starting to feel old.

[el bobbo]

Has Batista ever drooled on Steph?

[Innovator]

Would love if Paige debuted and won the title at mania

[Lock Jaw]

Next week on RAW, the original WRESTLEMANIA MAIN EVENT

[Dark One]

Next week on RAW, the original WRESTLEMANIA MAIN EVENT

ONE NIGHT ONLY. SEE HOW BAD IT COULD HAVE BEEN.

[Lock Jaw]

Would love if Paige debuted and won the title at mania

Was thinking that. Have AJ somehow overcome the odds and win... only for a new challenger to appear!

[slik]

Great video for Scott Hall

Kind of want to re-watch the ladder match from WMX now.

[RVDmark]

Is next week the go-home show, or the week after?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Triple H should just strip Orton as champion and kick them both out of the main event. Make it Triple H Vs. Daniel Bryan for the title.

[Corndad]

Anyone else find weird they didn't mention a thing about Hall starting the NWO in that package?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is next week the go-home show, or the week after?

week after.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Anyone else find weird they didn't mention a thing about Hall starting the NWO in that package?

Razor Ramon is entering the Hall of Fame not Scott Hall.

[Dark One]

week after.

WM is April 6th, right? That'd make next week the go home.

[RVDmark]

Triple H should just strip Orton as champion and kick them both out of the main event. Make it Triple H Vs. Daniel Bryan for the title.

Vince hates triple threat's for Mania main event matches allegedly. It wouldn't surprise me if they put the strap on Batista before then and put Orton out of the match.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hmm. got the dates confused.

[#1-norm-fan]

WM is April 6th, right? That'd make next week the go home.

Yes. And yes.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Does anybody think Daniel Bryan lied about not being cleared and will be here anyways?

[slik]

How did we all miss this????

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BjiQJUZCAAAvW2U.jpg

Pants do hold grudges apparently

[Lock Jaw]

Large Cesaro Section tonight

[RVDmark]

Does anybody think Daniel Bryan lied about not being cleared and will be here anyways?

As someone who has watched Raw for a long-long time. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes.

etc

[Lock Jaw]

Seth Rollins does that worse than Chavo

[parkmania]

Razor Ramon is entering the Hall of Fame not Scott Hall.

This. Wonder if they'll have Rick Bognar there to accept the induction.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Straight up solid wrestling. Love this.

[#1-norm-fan]

Vince hates triple threat's for Mania main event matches allegedly. It wouldn't surprise me if they put the strap on Batista before then and put Orton out of the match.

I hate them too. It's already a huge drop off from the past couple years. We've gone from John Cena vs The Rock set up a year beforehand 2 years ago to Randy Orton vs Batista vs ??? set up a couple hours beforehand. lol

[Hanso Amore]

Razor Ramon is entering the Hall of Fame not Scott Hall.

But why? Carlos fucking colon is going in.

Why ignore the Scott hall name and now run?

[#1-norm-fan]

Is it just me or are the camera angles distracting right now?

[Swiss Ultimate]

So good. Characters are interesting. I care what's going on. Really good wrestling on top of that too. Just...yes.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I kinda think HHH and DB will be pretty short. Sort of like how fast Daniel Bryan/Sheamus was. Either a quick Knee or Yes Lock and it will be over.

[Lock Jaw]

Is it just me or are the camera angles distracting right now?

I thought the angle with the camera guy on the apron for the Cesaro kick was pretty rad

[Lock Jaw]

Though everytime they have the camera guy on the apron getting the shot for the "hot tag", I'm always like "Tag the camera man!"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

But why? Carlos fucking colon is going in.

Why ignore the Scott hall name and now run?

Because his run as Scott Hall was his downfall into drugs and alcohol. Razor was when he was at his best personally and professionally.

Also WWE Logic: it's not WWE so it doesn't count.

[Tazz Dan]

There's no way HHH would have that happen.

Not "right now", its an ad break :D

Neither point holds weight. He and hbk were pill heads in the wwe.

And if it doesn't count if it doesn't happen in wwe why is colon and mascaras in?

[Innovator]

NIGEL'S LARIAT!

[Hanso Amore]

Whole hing makes zero sense

[Savio]

I really wish Kane played the part Big Show played in his feud with the Authority.

[Hanso Amore]

Great fucking matches

[#1-norm-fan]

Also WWE Logic: it's not WWE so it doesn't count.

Abdullah the Butcher is in the WWE Hall of Fame.

[Tazz Dan]

Rollins is going off!

[Savio]

Also WWE Logic: it's not WWE so it doesn't count.
He had a run as Scott Hall in the WWE as well.

[Droford]

I don't really wat to see Kane/outlaws vs The Shield.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Oh my god...so fucking....

just...

wow.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They changed the name of the Black Out? Fuck that.

[RVDmark]

. He and hbk were pill heads in the wwe.


What were they actually on? Round this way a pill-head refers to Ectasy users, but that doesn't seem like the type of thing wrestlers would be doing. I assume pain-pills? You guys get really good pain pills over in the US. Ibuprofen is rubbish.

Seth Rollins on fire right now.... reminding me of Daniel Bryan on his warpath of glory while he was trying to prove he wasn't the weak link.

[Hanso Amore]

Wwe is really showcasing a lot of Indy type offense with Cesaro, Bryan! shield Harper. Just new fresh stuff to the wwe scene

[Lock Jaw]

Shield should definitely stay a team....

Never break up. :'(

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He had a run as Scott Hall in the WWE as well.

Yeah but he was a real mess then too. They want people to remember Razor not Hall.

[Lock Jaw]

Korporate Kane with Corporate Roadie and Corporate Billy!

I'm going to be very sad when they split

New Age Corporation

Great Match between Shield/Real Americans

[Savio]

Will they let Kane join DX for reals this time?

[Fenix122]

Bah gawd it's korporate Kane and the corporate outlaws

[Lock Jaw]

Did the New Age Outlaws ever use their rematch against The Usos? They faked it once, but then said they were sick and would really use their rematch later......

and then....? Did they ever? I don't recall them doing so.

[RVDmark]

Psomas

Oxy

You name it

what are Psomas?

If it wasn't in House I probably haven't heard of it.

[The Naitch]

Somas?

[#1-norm-fan]

Remember all the huge potential matches people were thinking of for The Shield, and more importantly Roman Reigns at WrestleMania?

Well... here's Kane and The New Age Outlaws. lol

[Swiss Ultimate]

I used to hate Swagger. Thought he was the boring version of Kurt Angle.

Can't praise the WWE's in-ring product enough right now.

[Savio]

ummmm whats the main event guys?

Daniel Bryan showing up because we have been told he wasn't going to

If Brock wins we applaud appreciatively.

Nice shirt

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

nice new shirt.

[RVDmark]

BEAST VS STEAK

mmmm Steak. :drool:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Eat Sleep Break the Streak. So, he's beating the streak in his dreams.

[#1-norm-fan]

I wonder if the NAO can still hang.

Sure they can hang physically. I just don't think they're a compelling WrestleMania opponent for The Shield. Namely Roman Reigns who has been built over recent months as the future. Kane and The Outlaws seem like three guys who would be used in a Raw match against The Shield to help build them up for a WrestleMania match.

[RVDmark]

Brock Bored: Brock Speak Now.

[#1-norm-fan]

ummmm whats the main event guys?

Verbal evisceration.

[Droford]

Awkward

[RVDmark]

Oh, so that's why they don't let him say much.

[Lock Jaw]

LET'S DO THIIIIIIS

[Swiss Ultimate]

Heyman is making the case I've been making for a while now.

[Hanso Amore]

Don't love closing the show with this segment. Would have loved it at like 10 pm

[Corndad]

Dong

[Droford]

Ryder should be in the casket

[RVDmark]

Casket Match at Mania?

[Hanso Amore]

Punk in the casket would be awesome

[Dark One]

LET'S DO THIIIIIIS

LET'S DO THIIIIIIIISS

[Hanso Amore]

Would love someone to translate the Druid chants

[RVDmark]

Dong

giggity.

[Tazz Dan]

Sable is in the casket :y:

[Hanso Amore]

Like I dream that the Druid song is Latin version of American bad ass.

[Droford]

Lol the camera caught the ring apron moving

[Lock Jaw]

Brock should have taken a nap in the meantime

[RVDmark]

Nice cut to the camera showing the ring apron moving to give the game away there.

[RVDmark]

Brock should have taken a nap in the meantime

And had something to eat.

[Corndad]

Somethiing how only the mania sign stays lit up

[Crimson]

Lol Brock peeking

[parkmania]

How many druids get destroyed before Brock finds the one that's Taker?

[Dark One]

Here's to hoping he just starts F-5ing druids.

[#1-norm-fan]

Would love someone to translate the Druid chants

"Verbal evisceraaaaaation coming. Your soul will be held in abeyyyyyyance. Mae Young's hand baby is the one true Goooood."

[Dark One]

One of them is a shark
http://phillbot.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/brockf51.gif

[Crimson]

Lol Heyman

[Lock Jaw]

Taker with a stage magician gimmick?!

[RVDmark]

Did he just bounce off his head? Yeeesh.

[Hanso Amore]

So basically the build is taker owning Lesnar? Hmmmm streak could be done

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That didn't make me want to see this match.

[RVDmark]

Taker with a stage magician gimmick?!

Tada *Jazz Hands*

[Swiss Ultimate]

Well done.

[Hanso Amore]

Seriously has Lesnar won a match since summerslam 2012?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

One more Raw to make me give a shit and make Brock a credible threat instead of just another victim.

[Hanso Amore]

Like I'm curious that's a real question I forget

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Seriously has Lesnar won a match since summerslam 2012?

Royal Rumble.

HHH in the cage.

[RVDmark]

Was that it? No Bryan, no Bad News Barrett, kinda sucky show.

[Jura]

Amish Taker

[#1-norm-fan]

Alright, time to see what seemingly major developments happen in the ring while the guys on the post show oddly laugh and ignore it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They love going to the Broccoli Center.

[#1-norm-fan]

Seriously has Lesnar won a match since summerslam 2012?

Extreme Rules 2013. Summerslam 2013.

[Droford]

Beets vs Steak

[Hanso Amore]

Extreme Rules 2013. Summerslam 2013.

Oh shit I could have sworn Punk won...thats right though he won then left and we got shitty Axel.

[#1-norm-fan]

Mick Foley is looking more and more like Zeb Coulter...

[#1-norm-fan]

I would care SO MUCH more about WrestleMania if Cena vs Wyatt was the title match.

[slik]

Brock loses at Mania, wins at SummerSlam

[slik]

eat, sleep, repeat

[#1-norm-fan]

They decided to block off the post-show from the arena while the dark main event is happening.

Good idea. lol

[Lock Jaw]

Ending should have gone down like this:


Brock: "Yeah! Nice trick, Taker!"
Taker: "Illusion, Brock! It's an illusion! A trick is something a Diva does for a push!"

[parkmania]

Steph reminded Batista that only Corey Hart is allowed to wear his Sunglasses at Night.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I would care SO MUCH more about WrestleMania if Cena vs Wyatt was the title match.

It's too soon for Wyatt to be champion. If it was a title match there would be no chance of him winning.

[#1-norm-fan]

Wyatt would be a better champion than the guy who is gonna end up walking out as champion.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Maybe but then Cena would have had to be champion right now and that is insufferable.

Daniel Bryan is more over than Bray anyways.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah. Insufferable.

Kinda like the reign of the last tiny guy who was a great technical wrestler and over with the crowd won the title in a triple threat match at WrestleMania.

Wait. I forgot about Mysterio. So... the last two.

[#1-norm-fan]

Wait... "but then Cena would have had to be champion right now and that is insufferable."?

Are you implying that Orton's current reign is not?

[Lock Jaw]

So, what is the deal with the Tag Team Titles? On SD they made RybAxel and The Real Americans both #1 contender.... and then tonight they made it sound like it was just going to be The Usos vs RybAxel at Wrestlemania (which is a terrible match by itself considering that RybAxel have basically been jobbers).

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Either tag team turmoil or it's the preshow match (Not at WrestleMania.) That would suck for the Ussos.

[jbizness]

Batista's SkinnyJeansFail was probably the highlight, but there were some really good matches somewhere between some absolute dog shit matches. So yea, pretty standard Raw

[MIZantine Empire]

Miz is fantastic, dammit!

I agree! Unless that's sarcasm, in which case, my name has nothing to do with him lol

[MIZantine Empire]

Scott Hall has performed as himself in the WWE:

I still have that issue :)

[Innovator]

It's REFRESHING that someone sells a brutal beat-down the following show in wrestling these days.

[XL]

Wyatt would be a better champion than the guy who is gonna end up walking out as champion.

Yeah because the quasi-possessed, quasi-cult leader would have massive "crossover appeal". Can't wait to see him on the talk show circuit!

[Innovator]

Imagine if this Summer Rae/Fandango issue has been a long term build to bring back the real Fandango girl

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah because the quasi-possessed, quasi-cult leader would have massive "crossover appeal". Can't wait to see him on the talk show circuit!

He's a fucking heel. He's meant to be an awesome adversary for the face who does represent the company. Which he would be.

Being a great, creepy bad guy character who doesn't make you embarrassed to be a wrestling fan when he talks does actually give him some crossover appeal though. In that someone who generally finds wrestling to be a joke can see him as a good TV character.

[el bobbo]

With what we saw from Orton and Batista last night, does anyone think it was really the plan to have them headline WM? That whole segment was one of the biggest train wrecks I've ever witnessed.

[Innovator]

http://i.imgur.com/o3fBmfg.gif

[ClockShot]

Anyone else find it odd that both DDP Yoga housemates are going into the Hall of Fame at the same time?

I think we need to get Scooby Doo and Mystery Inc. to look into this. Surely there's some conspiracy about.

[JimmyMess]

When I saw Cena washing his face during RAW, even before the sheep mask popped out I was thinking "did WWE learn nothing from the Warrior/Hogan WCW buildup" that's all I could think of. And then the god damned mask popped out. And I laughed.

[Volare]

Watching Shield vs Real Americans for the third time now....

[wwe2222]

Bray isnt a guy who needs a title, nor do I see his character really being motivated to win titles. Its more about him causing havoc for his opponents, etc.

[Fignuts]

Sounds like a shit raw outside of the HHH interview.

[el bobbo]

Sounds like a shit raw outside of the HHH interview.

I'm digging the Cena/Wyatt family stuff. I actually laughed during the Cody vs. Fandango match. That's pretty much it.

The Brock/Taker segment was lacking. I'm not totally into the buildup for this match. At least not like last year's Punk/Taker match.

[Hanso Amore]

The Shield match was amazing. Figgy you should watch it. Same with Cena/Harper.

Skip the Brock taker shit.

[whiteyford]

If Cena wins we Wyatt.

That is all.

[Emperor Smeat]

Cena-Bray feud stuff has been really interesting so far.

:y: Da Bad Guy being in the Hall of Fame.

:lol: Heyman's "OMG" scream once Taker showed up

The 4-way IC contenders match and the Shield vs Real Americans match were great.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Seriously has Lesnar won a match since summerslam 2012?

Didn't he win at the last Wrestlemania?

[XL]

Usos vs. Rybaxel at Mania is possibly the worst Tag Title match they could have come up with for Mania. #preshow

[XL]

Didn't he win at the last Wrestlemania?

Didn't he lose to HHH?

I know this isn't a "serious post" but on the subject, they tried to get Jake in last year and Triple H went to bat for him but WWE apparently wanted him to have been clean for a period of time first and asked them to hold fire until this year. He's surely the reason for Scott as well given their "history"

[Swiss Ultimate]

I don't think the WWE wants to find out that a Legend sold his/her ring for crack and booze in the next few months.

I don't know about that. We are in the #RealityEra now.

[James Steele]

How could you not love the product right now?

[Swiss Ultimate]

You'd have to be pretty cynical I think not to love the product. Even the Scooby doo thing, a few years ago that would have been main-event stuff, and the writers made sure to make it as small a part of the show as possible.

[The Naitch]

lol @ Arnold on the mic

[#1-norm-fan]

How could you not love the product right now?

You'd have to be pretty cynical I think not to love the product.

Or you could just be someone who likes midcard storylines in a 3 hour wrestling show.

[#1-norm-fan]

I actually don't HATE it right now. Atleast the storylines they ARE putting thought into have SOME substance. I like the Bryan-HHH story despite my thoughts on Bryan as a WrestleMania main eventer and I love Cena and Wyatt. It's better than it was for most of the past year right now as usually happens during WrestleMania season. And it's better than a little before that when they couldn't fill a PPV more than halfway with matches with some build to them and had to throw on random matches from the previous week's Smackdown. But this "You have to LOVE the product or you're just being cynical" is pretty insane.

I walked away completely a couple of years ago. I only recently watched the CM Punk/Undertaker match from last Mania a few weeks ago. All I ask for and what I wasn't getting was non-retarded storylines and good wrestling.

I enjoyed these last few shows from start to finish minus the divas. A lot of guys who I thought would never evolve have, guys like Swagger and Cody are doing great things in the ring, Cena's putting on strong matches and not-too generic promos, and for the first time ever Batista and Orton are entertaining me in the ring. I've always liked Bryan, personally, but his recent stuff is great and the feud between him and Triple H has been all but perfect (and the stips on their Mania match captures the imagination).

Add to that the facts that I missed most of the Shield's work up to now and am super-impressed with the stable, the fact that Bray Wyatt is amazing, tag team wrestling actually matters right now, Triple H's promos aren't grating on my nerves or testing my patience, Paul Heyman's delivering great promos and Brock Lesnar is the first guy in a while that legitimately calls into question the default win for Undertaker...I really can't ask for much more.

Hell, during the 90s I don't recall many (or any) episodes of RAW or Smackdown where the vast majority of matches were good or everybody had at least a competent storyline to work with.

I can see having tuned out during the past couple years and tuning in now and liking it right now. Like I said, I think the product as a whole is better than it was the past couple years (despite WrestleMania itself being as huge dropoff as a card from the past couple WrestleManias).

I'm interested to see if your interest holds up after WrestleMania and once you get used to the characters again and need them all to keep being involved in intriguing storylines.

And during the Late 90's the entire card from the top to bottom seemingly had guys involved in some kind of storyline. The show was an hour shorter and it seemed like everyone had something going on. The matches may not have been as good technically but I'm not someone who really cares about meaningless matches just because they were good technically. There's gotta be some kind of purpose to make me care about the match in the first place even if it's as simple as getting two guys who have nothing to do with each other over.

If they want to make WrestleMania feel special again they simply can just remove the Elimination Chamber PPV.

Give more than 6 weeks of TV time between the last PPV and the biggest of the year WrestleMania.

I don't have high hopes, honestly. I'll be interested as well to see if I still care after Mania.

The one way that will make me care is if my predictions come through, aka, Bryan wins against all odds, then the beatings continue with constant title defenses, CM Punk returns at Mania and becomes super-heel (you know how I want it to happen), and they continue to actually do stuff with people.

I'd like to see Bryan feud with Batista right after winning, beat him one-on-one at a PPV, push him against Orton the same way for a second PPV, then see him screwed out of the title by Lesnar (only if he and Heyman show up on every Raw.)

I do think Bryan is best chasing the damn title, but a strong (but short) reign would be nice so as not to repeat the exact same storyline we're seeing now. And yes, it has to culminate in a feud with super-heel CM Punk. He is the Rock to Bryan's Foley.

I wouldn't mind that, hell, 8-10 weeks of amazing RAWs versus 6. Good stuff.
