R.A.W Media's 5th Anniversary!!!
So, ladies and gentlemen, today marks the 5th anniversary of R.A.W Media!!!
To celebrate the occasion we're going to take a little trip down memory lane and look back at five pivotal moments, in our history, that made R.A.W Media into what it is today!!!
5. United Elementz Media joins Bout Dat Online (2018) - This was a pivotal moment in the history of R.A.W Media because if it hadn't of joined Bout Dat Online, under it's previous name of United Elementz Media, in early 2018 then the brand would have never of had the opportunity to branch out beyond the world of Hip-Hop/Rap and into the world of Professional Wrestling as well. Thanks to Bout Dat Online's 'WrestleBiz' section United Elementz Media had the opportunity to cover, both classic and current, Pro Wrestling events and helped make the decision to eventually re-brand to R.A.W Media on January 3rd 2020. Though R.A.W Media and Bout Dat Online went their separate ways, in the spring of 2022, the brand have always shown love, respect and appreciation to Bout Dat Online for their contributions to both sparking the idea of R.A.W Media's creation and for everything they had done to help the brand grow in it's early years!!!
4. Michael 'Mr. Ooh La La' Houghton joins R.A.W Media (2021) - When legendary independent Pro Wrestler Michael 'Mr. Ooh La La' Houghton accepted the invitation to join R.A.W Media, in 2021, it helped the brand's growth, and reach, massively. Upon his arrival Ooh La La managed to help the brand hit over 1,000 new followers on social media. Ooh La La joining the brand also lead to the release of, instrumental Hip-Hop group, UnXpectedBeatz debut single 'Ooh La La' which featured additional vocals from the man himself on it!!! The single went on to become not only his official entrance music but it was also played at the world famous ECWA 'Super 8' events in 2022 and 2023!!! This also lead to R.A.W Media opening it's doors to other Rap/Hip-Hop and Pro Wrestling related brands, and individuals, such as Gustavo Louis' Narconomics, Mister Boxer Creates and the 2300 Media Network in order to establish strong working relationships and reach even larger audiences around the world!!!
3. R.A.W Media splits from United Elementz (2021) - When United Elementz Media started out, in 2016, it was as a division of United Elementz and it continued to do so after the re-branding to R.A.W Media in 2020. When the RAW ELEMENTZ group was founded, in June 2021, the decision was quickly made to move R.A.W Media, from under the United Elementz banner, and make it it's own separate, independent, division of RAW ELEMENTZ (with United Elementz being the group's other division). This move was based on the success, and growth, of the brand on it's social media platforms and proved that the brand could stand alone and had come a long way in such a short period of time!!!
2. R.A.W CLASH is established (2022) - One of R.A.W Media's biggest, regular, viewership draws is it's, Rap and Pro Wrestling based, online clash promotion R.A.W CLASH. The clash promotion was actually formed as a last minute decision after The Enziguri Network Media group, which included the T.E.N Wrestling/Pro Wrestling Fix brand who promoted the monthly 'Tweet Clash' events that were hosted on R.A.W Media's Twitter (now X) platform, and R.A.W Media's working relationship abruptly ended. The announcement came just over a week before the next scheduled online event and, due to the success of the online clashes on the Twitter platform, R.A.W Media decided to pick up the pieces and start their own clash brand on July 22nd, 2022, and continue as normal with the 'Tweet Clash' events (the 'Tweet Clash' name was actually coined by R.A.W Media for use by T.E.N/PWF). Two and a half years later R.A.W CLASH has managed to hit over 35,000, total, viewers for it's bi-monthly events on X and seen involvement from legends of both the worlds of Rap/Hip-Hop and Pro Wrestling!!!
1. R.A.W Media on Blogger launches (2022) - On February 5th, 2022, just over two after it's re-branding, and just over a year and a half since becoming it's own independent brand, R.A.W Media officially established it's own website through the Blogger platform. The website has seen everything from new Rap/Hip-Hop releases, Pro Wrestling events, interviews and spotlight profiles on the site. Since it's launch the site has hit over 45,000 views and is read by people from all over the world. If there was ever a moment, in R.A.W Media's first 5 years, that defined it's growth then starting on Blogger would be it!!!
From the whole R.A.W Media team we'd like to say a massive thanks to everyone, individuals an brands, who have supported us over the last 5 years!!!
Here's to another 5 and to creating some more memorable moments!!!
