Yep...it's all about how you experience it. A friend and I went to a RAW taping, and it was a good time. Good seats, not too many annoying signs right in front of us, good atmosphere, hot crowd. Mind you, the show itself was crappy beyond belief (My friend, the Austin mark, disagreed, what with the Austin/Goldberg meeting highlighting the show), with no real matches and only a Heat main event of Jericho/Hurricane to entertain me. Still, lots of stuff to yell randomly about. If you're going with friends, you'll enjoy yourself.
And, since it's a RAW PPV...well, if the draft is seriously happening before then, just build a giant olympic gold medal, if the rumours come true. Because that's all that will matter.
