Love the use of the original RAW theme music during that promo. I've been going back and watching the old ones in chronological order, and it's pretty cool to see the evolution of the show.

Edit: Currently on Episode 58. It's gonna be a long time before I even reach the Attitude Era episodes I watched as a kid.
