[Scott Barton]

Doesn't this get a bit repetitive?? I like wrestling but I couldn't watch it in order from the start

I actually really like it, plus RAW was only an hour back then so its easy to watch

 

[The Mustard Tiger]

Are you planning to do this until you catch up? I imagine the older ones are quite fun to go back and watch. It's when you get to the three hour ones you'd struggle.

 

[Scott Barton]

I'm on RAW episode 102, I have about 1100 to go

It may be a while before i catch up
