R.A.W Media

We are back with another special edition of 'The R.A.W Report' taking it back to the year 1995!!  That year saw the WWF hit one of it's worst financia, and creative, years ever whilst, it's competitor, WCW continued to build such momentum that they were given a prime time slot on TNT for 'Monday Nitro'!!!  ECW continued to make noise, and shake up the landscape of Pro Wrestling, with both classic hardcore and scientific matches not seen anywhere else at the time (well, except for in Japan but you had to be a tape trader back then to really know that). The world of Rap/Hip-Hop was beginning to go into full battle mode with the 'East Coast vs. West Coast' beef starting to heat up with, Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight throwing a diss towards, Bad Boy Records CEO, Puff Daddy at that year's 'Source Awards'!!!  But 1995 was more than on stage bickering, between two label executives, as artists such as Raekwon and Mobb Deep were dropping timeless...

Below is the complete history of the R.A.W CLASH Xtra Title!!!  The list will be updated when new champions are crowned!!!  1st - Abdullah Kobayashi (02/05/2026)* 2nd - Juventud Guerrera (06/05/2026) * On May 2nd, 2026, R.A.W CLASH announce the Xtra title with a 3-Way Clash on R.A.W Media's Instagram. The title is only defended outside of R.A.W CLASH's standard, bi-monthly, online clash events with the reiging champion going on to face the reiging Intercultural Singles Champion at the O.C.Es.

On May 6th, 2026, former WCW owner Ted Turner passed away at the age of 87.  Whilst Turner was an incredible businessman (creating the likes of CNN, Cartoon Network, TNT and TBS) his contributions and love for the world of Pro Wrestling is what makes his passing so sad.  Pro Wrestling gave his WTBS Superstation a huge boost, in the 70's and 80's, that helped Turner build his business profile and his appreciation for it turned to loyalty right to the bitter end.  His loyalty truly hit its peak when, in 1988, he created the Universal Wrestling Corporation and purchased Jim Crockett Promotions in order to not only keep Pro Wrestling on his network but to save the company and to ensure the talent still had a home.  Shortly after the purchase the UWC was renamed after JCP's flagship show 'World Championship Wrestling' and the industry changed forever.  Without Turner we would have never of had the rebirth of Hulkamania, in 1994, an...

Pro Wrestling is choreographed and is designed to create moments for fans through story telling. There truly is no art form like it.  Whether it's a match that makes you appreciate the athletic, sports like, aspect of it or something that's just outrageously entertaing it's all about providing you with a moment and, when it's all over, it will have you talking about it days, months or even years after it's happened. The 'Hardcore Icon', and ECW legend, The Sandman decided for his farewell to go down the outrageous route in the form of a match against The Invisible Man at Joey Janela's 'Spring Break X' event, for Game Changer Wrestling, on April 17th. For the more "Pro Wrestling is an athletic sport" fan this match was a slap in the face to the business however for the real fans, that appreciate EVERYTHING Pro Wrestling has to offer, this was absolute perfection. ...

WWE's 'WCW Vault' YouTube channel has taken it back to the year 1996 (more specifically the second half of it) to relive the beginning of the 'WCW vs. nWo' war that changed Pro Wrestling forever!!! To some modern day fans it can be difficult to truly explain how significant the war between WCW and the nWo was to the landscape of the business at the time and even how this moment in time would go on to change the future of it as well. Watching this compilation mixtape really does bring back memories of when Pro Wrestling was fresh and truly unpredictable which is something the modern day scene is missing!!! Watching Hulk Hogan, the industries biggest babyface at the time, drop a leg drop on 'Macho Man' Randy Savage, and turn heel, is still one of the most shocking moments in Pro Wrestling history and it was certainly shocking to everyone who grew up watching Hogan at that point!!! The whole angle worked well because everyone...

It's a new year and, after 6 months away, R.A.W Media is back on Blogger!!! We've switched our format (focusing more on classic Rap/Hip-Hop and Pro Wrestling, profiles and interviews) and what a better way to kick things off than with a special edition of 'The R.A.W Report' taking it back to the year 1994!!! A year that saw New York regain its prominence within the Rap/Hip-Hop landscape and the Pro Wrestling industry being shaken up by Ted Turner's WCW and a little group from Philadelphia called ECW!!! So ladies and gentlemen let's look at some of the releases, and events, that made 1994 such a great year in the worlds of Rap and Wrestling - RAP •  Nas - Illmatic •  The Notorious B.I.G - Ready To Die •  Craig Mack - Project: Funk Da World •  Common - Resurrection •  Outkast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik WRESTLING •  WWF 'Royal Rumble' (Full Match) •  ECW '1994' (Playlist) •  WCW 'Bash At The Beach...

Before we go on our, hopefully, brief hiatus we couldn't go off grid without mentioning the recent passing of one of Pro Wrestling's most iconic, and charismatic, figures Hulk Hogan. To say that Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, didn't have his controversies would be the understatement of the decade however if you grew up watching Wrestling, in the 80's and 90's, it would be difficult to ignore Hogan's impact on the business and his mainstream appeal throughout that time. Seeing people you grew up watching on television, and who played big parts in something you love, pass away is always hard and Hogan's passing is a difficult one for all of us at R.A.W Media. We wish to remember the Hulk Hogan that changed Pro Wrestling forever. The man that main evented the inaugural 'Wrestlemania', slammed Andre The Giant, created the New World Order and had one of the greatest comebacks, of all time, in the early 00...
