Nice opening promo by Jericho, Hulkamania Hogan return was good as well. Hogan/Big Show is a huge match to open SD with and it ending in dq was expected in the opening spot and a bit lame, Big Show seems to have no real direction at the moment. Liked the post match stuff with Show dropping Hogan though. Well written Test promo and like you bringing up the history between the two, hopefully we see a Test push. Nice touch with the Taker/Hogan promo. Albert over Scotty was fine don't know how I feel about the Albert/Bossman team, need some development from them regarding the team and why they're together. Loved the backstage segment with Angle/Taker/Vince, like suckup Angle. Undertaker beating Dreamer is fine filler, loved pissed off Undertaker destroying Dreamer after the match though and injuring his hand. Triple H going over is the right choice but nice of you to have Test put up a fight. Liked the Triple H promo after the match. Liked Regals promo. Weird pairing in this tag match, Regal just pretty much trashed non Europeaners. DDP going over is the right call and helps build the title match. Liked the Angle backstage segment and him being afraid of Edge. Liked the Hurricane/Angle match and Angle being concerned with Edge. Like the pissed off Angle at the result and Edge getting the better of him. Good main event and liked Jericho going over Austin, puts him over big and liked The Undertaker interference. I think the show should've ended with the staredown between the three championship competitors rather than Austin chasing Jericho, but that's just real minor nitpicking.
Anyway a good show, you do a real good job at developing the characters and the feuds and the segments really capture the characters from the era well. Looking forward to Backlash, good job.

Sorry for the delay. Right, to SmackDown... another shmexy graphic! Obviously. A huge opening segment, and it was good to see Hulk Hogan don the red and yellow once again. Right into the opening contest and a DQ finish was interesting, but Big Show taking out all comers was good, I like seeing him dominate. I was a huge Test fan, so I'd love to see him with a huge push on SmackDown. Interesting confrontation between Undertaker and Hulk Hogan, but all this reminds me of is the worst Chokeslam in history, lmao. I was also a big Albert fan, and I love that you have him beside the Big Bossman again. Undertaker versus Tommy Dreamer would just be a massacre, haha. Dreamer never stood a chance. I love how Undertaker went nuts afterwards, poor Tommy. I think it was obvious that Triple H would defeat Test, but I hope this is the beginning of something big for Test. DDP and Farooq is an interesting team, shocked to see them go over William Regal and Christian, but it makes sense with Regal beating DDP previously. A huge victory for The Hurricane, even if it was via countout. The Edge interference was a good continuation of their feud. Massive victory for Chris Jericho, keeping him strong, and Undertaker also getting some of Stone Cold in the process. This show was heavily focused around the Main Event, maybe a bit too much, but all in all, I enjoyed it.

 WWF @ College Station, TX - Reed Arena - April 15, 2002
RAW opens up with a video package of last week, featuring the opening contest of Triple H versus Scott Hall, which eventually ended in a No Contest as the nWo ran out and brawled with Rock and Kane. Flair comes out and sets up a six man tag team main event, and the video follows suit to the match. It highlights the moves throughout the match, including the nWo isolating the Rock, and Kane getting the hot tag before cleaning house. Finally, Kane hits the chokeslam on Hall and picks up the win, getting huge momentum into Backlash. Following the bout, a brawl breaks out between the nWo and the winning team; which leads to an appearance from Stone Cold! Austin goes to Stun Hall, but instead Triple H takes the shot for himself! This enrages Austin, who responds by hitting Triple H with a Stunner. The package ends with Rock putting X-Pac through the table, leaving everyone, except Austin, down and out at the end of RAW!
The RAW opening plays and the pyro are displayed. We are greeted by Jim Ross and Jerry “the King” Lawler, who mentions we are only six nights away from Backlash! This Sunday we will the nWo versus Kane and the Rock in a No Holds Barred match, and Triple H defending the Undisputed Championship against Chris Jericho and Hulk Hogan, but tonight we get a preview of RAW’s Backlash main event! It will be Kane going one on one with the nWo’s Kevin Nash! They also hype up X-Pac defending the Hardcore Championship against Bradshaw, and Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam teaming up with Maven to face Booker T and Eddie Guerreo! Jim Ross mentions how Guerreo and Van Dam will face off this Sunday, but he is cut off by the theme of Stone Cold Steve Austin!
Austin mentions how Backlash is this Sunday. He brings up about how the past month has been full of ass kicking, hell raising, and beer drinking; all to WHATs from the crowd. Stone Cold says three weeks ago he told everyone he would sign a brand on his terms. Not Flair, and certainly not McMahon, would tell him when he’d sign on the dotted line. Austin brings up this Sunday is Backlash, and he has come to a decision. This Sunday, at the Backlash pay per view, he will sign to a brand. He also adds the hell raising won’t stop, but once he signs either a RAW or Smackdown! contract, the first thing Stone Cold Steve Austin does is go right after the WWF Undisputed Championship. And that’s the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold, but before he can finish, Austin is cut off by RAW owner Ric Flair! The crowd pops for “the Nature Boy” and he stops on the stage, Austin not happy about the interruption. Flair tells Austin he knows he will be signing to the RAW brand this Sunday, because Vince has always had it out for Austin! Vince screwed him out of the WWF title multiple times, and even cost him the 1999 Royal Rumble! Hell, Austin would’ve been the Undisputed Champion by now if it wasn’t for McMahon. Flair tells Austin he knows Vince McMahon can’t be trusted, and he’s never going to just hand Austin a title shot if he ever signs to Smackdown!. Austin interrupts him and tells Flair he knows that stupid son of a bitch is always screwing him over, but he knows what Flair is trying to do. He tells Flair he and McMahon can play all the stupid little games they want, but the bottom line is Stone Cold will sign to the brand he wants to sign to, and ain’t nobody is going to tell him otherwise! The crowd pops as Austin drops the microphone, Flair smirking and nodding from the ramp, Austin kept a straight face.
Break
We returned to see Jim Ross and Jerry “the King” Lawler. They hype up Kane facing Kevin Nash tonight in a Backlash preview, but up next there is another Backlash preview as Matt Hardy takes on one half of the WWF Tag Team Champions, Chuck. JR leads into what transpired last week with the Hardyz and the tag team
champions.
A replay from Jeff Hardy versus Billy is played, where Billy stole the win following interference from both his tag partner Billy and Rico.
The Hardyz make their entrance following the clip to a loud pop.
Matt Hardy w/Jeff Hardy and Lita def. Chuck w/Billy and Rico) The number one contenders managed to get some revenge tonight. Jeff and Lita were able to stop Billy and Rico just in time to allow Hardy to hit Chuck with the Twist of Fate and score the win.
Team Xtreme celebrated they victory in the ring, leaving Billy and Rico irate on the floor.
Backstage Jonathan Coachman is standing by Paul Heyman and the so called “Next Big Thing” Brock Lesnar. Coach asks Heyman what their thoughts are going into Lesnar’s match with Rikishi this Sunday at Backlash. Heyman says this Sunday the “Next Big Thing” debuts on pay per view, and it will be the first of many! He says never has such a dominant and physical force been in the WWF, and Rikishi will soon find that out! Heyman says Rikishi realizes how much potential is in Lesnar, and he’s only trying to capitalize on it, but the truth is Rikishi will only be a stepping stone in the career of Brock Lesnar! He tells Rikishi to watch Lesnar’s match with Goldust up next, because this beating has his name on it! Heyman and Lesnar leave before RAW goes to a commercial break.
Break
An advertisement for Backlash plays, it is live on pay per view; this Sunday!
Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman def. Goldust) Goldust was not one to back down from Lesnar tonight, even despite the fact Mr. Perfect was out at ringside. With a distraction from Perfect, Lesnar finished off Goldust with the F-5.
The crowd booed following the match as Heyman jumped in the ring and raised Lesnar’s hand. Lesnar had an evil smile on his face as Mr. Perfect came in. Perfect whispered something to Heyman, and then he told Lesnar to hit Goldust again! Brock picked him up and set up for yet another crushing F-5, but Rikishi ran out! Rikishi nailed Perfect with a clothesline before Lesnar dropped Goldust, the two big men getting in a stare down! Heyman was able to get in between them in the nick of team, and convinced Brock to leave the ring. Lesnar motioned he would break Rikishi in half this Sunday as he checked on Goldust, but always keeping his eyes on Brock and Heyman!
Jonathan Coachman is standing by with Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam. Coach asks Van Dam about his match with Eddie Guerreo this Sunday, and the tag team bout coming up next with him teaming up with Maven to face Guerreo and Booker T. Van Dam admits last week he was outsmarted by Guerrero, but after the match he proved he can be just as quick with his feet as Eddie is with his mind. Van Dam says he may have bruised up ribs after his little attack last week, but no minor injury can stop the show! Rob says up next he will give Eddie a little taste of why his little games won’t work this Sunday, and why after Backlash, your Intercontinental Champion will still be Rob….. Van….. Dam!
Break
Backstage the nWo is walking through the corridor, X-Pac with his brand new Hardcore Championship. Nash and Hall give him congrats on his big title win. X-Pac thanks them, and Hall continues on saying they’ve got his back the whole way through this thing, and that includes his match with Bradshaw tonight. Nash agrees and says there is no way that twenty-four seven rule will get to the nWo! Hall says they’ll even prove it, and he randomly attacks an unsuspecting Perry Saturn! Nash hits him with a big boot as Hall picks him up and throws Saturn over a table. They all laugh before we go to a replay.
RAW cuts to a replay from two weeks ago of Eddie Guerreo making his return to the WWF and attacking the Intercontinental Champion, Rob Van Dam.
Eddie Guerrero & Booker T def. Rob Van Dam & Maven) Van Dam came out with taped ribs, and he wanted Guerreo early tonight, but was knocked off the apron via a cheap shot. The ending saw Booker hitting Maven with a Book End, only for Eddie to tag himself in and hit the Frog Splash to steal the three!
Booker was shocked after the match, but Eddie ignored him and celebrated the victory. Eddie yelled at Rob that he’s going to take back what is rightfully is this Sunday. Eventually, Booker turned him around and the two got in a heated confrontation about the match. Eddie shoved Booker first, prompting him to shove back! Eddie tried to play it cool and he left the ring, leaving an annoyed Booker in the ring and a hurt Van Dam on the floor.
Bradshaw is shown backstage, about to leave for his match with X-Pac up next; when RAW’s odd couple, the Rock and Kane, walk into the room! The crowd goes insane as Rock tells Bradshaw to relax; they just have an offer for him. He says he notice he has a little beef with the ‘tough guys’ known as the nWo too, and they need a third man for Backlash this Sunday. Bradshaw looks interested as Kane chimes in saying he got him something to sway his decision. Suddenly, he pulls a six pack out of nowhere! Bradshaw smiles and takes the beer, Rock asking Kane where in the blue hell did he get that? The Rock was going to pay the man! Kane says he doesn’t have to anymore, but Rock says now he has to because he knows! Rock begrudgingly pulls money out of his pocket and hands it Bradshaw, looking at Kane the whole time. Kane assures Bradshaw they’ll have his back as well before leaving the room with Rock, who’s going on and on about how Kane just cost the Rock money!
Break
Hardcore Champion X-Pac def. Bradshaw) We returned to see Bradshaw making his entrance. Just when it seemed he would take X-Pac out with the Clothesline from Hell, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash ran out! Nash hit Bradshaw with a big boot, allowing X-Pac to nail the X-Factor.
The crowd boos the nWo following the match as X-Pac is awarded the Hardcore Championship. Nash picks up Bradshaw and sets up for the Jackknife, but Kane’s pyro shoots off to a huge pop! Kane and Rock make their way out to the stage, rushing down the ramp! X-Pac leaves to keep his title intact as Kane and Rock throw hands with Nash and Hall. Rock throws Hall out of the ring as Kane clotheslines Nash over the top! The crowd goes insane as Kane paces around the ring, waiting for the nWo to get back in. Nash gets back up on his feet, warning Rock and Kane they made a big mistake!
Ric Flair is in his office when Lance Storm storms, no pun intended, into his office. Storm complains about how he’s trying to find the perfect tag team partner, but Flair is never giving him any time on Monday Night RAW! He has been reduced to facing the Dudley Boyz? Storm reminds Flair he is a former Intercontinental Champion, and he deserves better treatment! Just then, the Dudley Boyz walk into the room and Flair smiles. Flair asks how can he help them, but before they can answer, Lance Storm cuts them off. He says he was talking to Flair first, and this is just another example of being disrespected and by a couple of fat boy no less! The Dudleyz close up on Storm and asks what he said, but Flair gets in the middle of them. He says he has a great idea, if Storm wants a tag partner and a match on RAW, then he can have one next week! It will be against the Dudley Boyz with a partner of his choosing! Bubba and D-Von are pleased and the thank Flair before telling Storm they’ll see him next week, Storm not sure what to do!
Break
As we returned Jim Ross and Jerry “the King” Lawler hype up the RAW side of things for Backlash. They mention Brock Lesnar making his pay per view debut against Rikishi; Billy and Chuck defending the WWF Tag Team Championships against the Hardy Boyz; an injured Rob Van Dam defending the Intercontinental Championship against “Latino Heat” Eddie Guerreo; the Rock, Kane, and Bradshaw against the nWo in a six man No Holds Barred match; Jazz defending the WWF Woman’s Championship against Trish Stratus; Stone Cold Steve Austin signing to a brand; and finally Triple H defending the WWF Undisputed Championship against Chris Jericho and Hulk Hogan in a triple threat match!
A clip recaps the match with Spike Dudley and Hardcore Holly on Sunday Night HeAT where Holly attacked Spike following an upset victory.
Spike Dudley def. Hardcore Holly) It happened again here tonight as when Hardcore Holly had the Alabama Slam in motion, but Spike countered it into a Hurricanrana pin to get the three!
The crowd pops for Spike Dudley following the victory, Holly in disbelief in the ring. Spike climbs the turnbuckles in celebration and Holly gets to his feet. When Spike finally gets off, Holly grabs him and finally plants him with the Alabama Slam! The crowd boos as the ref orders him out, a disgusted Holly leaving the ring before RAW cuts out.
Break
Stone Cold Steve Austin is seen walking down a corridor backstage when he bumps into Nash and Hall. Scott tells Austin he better be real careful when he decides what brand he signs to this Sunday; because the nWo is on RAW, and they have some unfinished business. Austin laughs, but quickly stops, and tells them if Flair and McMahon can’t tell him what brand to sign, then you two son of bitches won’t either! Austin continues on saying if he does sign to RAW, and the nWo want a fight, then they damn sure got one. Austin brushes past them as Nash tells him he’s been warned.
Trish Stratus def. Ivory) The Woman’s Champion, Jazz, was at ringside for this bout. Trish picked up the win with the Stratusfaction, gaining huge momentum going into Sunday.
Trish was proclaimed the winner and the referee raises her hand, but she kept her eyes on Jazz. Jazz raises her title in the air and the two had a verbal confrontation, but a voice was heard from the ramp, interrupting the two. It turned out to be Molly Holly, with a new brunette hair color. She talked down to Stratus, saying she should be ashamed of herself for degrading herself and showing her body off like nothing to the WWF fans! She calls her filthy and dirty, but she refers to herself as “pure.” Molly goes on to say she refuses to be judged by her looks, but rather by her pure talent. Trish is bewildered by her comments, so this allows Jazz to sneak in and hit the Bitch Clamp! The crowd boos as Jazz stands over her challenger, holding her WWF Woman’s title in the air, Molly smiling on the stage.
Our main event is up next; Kane takes on Kevin Nash!
Break
Kane def. Kevin Nash VIA DQ) These two big men collided in a very physical main event; but it wasn’t too long before their allies came down to ringside. Eventually, Kane was going for the Chokeslam from Hell, so X-Pac ran in and hit him with the Hardcore Championship!
The crowd booed as Kane fell to the mat, X-Pac laughing. It wasn’t for too long, as Rock and Bradshaw were soon in the ring! The crowd popped as the two teams traded blows for the second time in one night! Rock seemed to get the advantage on X-Pac and Hall and Bradshaw were even, but X-Pac soon got the edge as Nash attacked him from behind! With Rock temporally down, the nWo focused their attack on Bradshaw, X-Pac hitting him with the Hardcore Championship as well! Kane was getting back up, but Nash quickly ran out and threw a chair to Hall, who smacked Kane right in the head with it! The crowd was booing as Nash grabbed the Rock and dragged him outside. Hall and X-Pac cleared off the announcers table as Kevin picked up Rock and put him right through it with the Jackknife! Rock, Kane, and Bradshaw were all laid out at the hands of the nWo as RAW went off the air. |

WWF SmackDown!: Thursday 11th April 2002...Chris Jericho starting off the show this week was the right decision, and a good promo from Y2J as well, did like the points he made about Hollywood Hulk Hogan being a washed up glory hog. Triple H interrupting was fine, and it pretty much got the three main eventers for Backlash over well. Hogan converting into the red and yellow here? Odd, I figured he'd have converted back after WrestleMania X8 honestly. Why is Big Show constantly being used as the loser of the opening contest against a main eventer? Disqualification finish or not, I don't like how he's being used. Especially when Y2J is the one causing Show to get disqualified. I don't know, it sort of shows he has little to nothing to do. Oh, second thought, I could see a feud between Hogan and Show headed into Judgment Day. Interesting confrontation with Hogan and the Undertaker backstage, even after Show chokeslammed Hogan? Hmm. Albert beating Scotty 2 Hotty was expected, but I'm not digging Bossman and Albert as a team again. Nice 2002-era segment in Mr McMahon's office, well written and a good set up for our next match. The Undertaker destroying Tommy Dreamer in a No Disqualification match was a great idea, 'Taker looks like a monster. Dreamer's hand being broken was a nice spot, but I was surprised that we didn't see 'Taker use the steel chair as the guillotine across Dreamer's throat, like we had seen a lot around this time from 'Taker. Triple H beating Test was a fair opening hour main event, was a pretty decent opportunity for Test to try and step up. Why is it that I feel like Stone Cold Steve Austin really doesn't have anything going for him storyline wise lately? He's just going around kicking peoples' asses, which is nice as it works for him. But God, there's no storyline going on here. Chris Jericho and Austin in the main event is a fine decision. Diamond Dallas Page and Faarooq beating William Regal and Christian was an alright match, weird combination for DDP and Faarooq. I see it's just to set up Regal and DDP at Backlash for the WWF European Championship. Vince McMahon back with Stone Cold Steve Austin was a nice segment, I'm interested in this idea of Austin feuding with 'Taker, though I hope to see it last through to Judgment Day or even King of the Ring. The Hurricane beating Kurt Angle was an interesting one, count-out finish was fine as Edge scared Angle away. Not too fond of the Crash Holly and Hurricane alliance, it's just like you paired them up solely off of the fact that they're both cruiserweights and haven't got much going for them. A little backstory would be nice to enhance their characters. Edge teaming up with them was nice though. And lastly, Jericho beating Austin thanks to Undertaker was a great main event, and I did like Triple H and Hollywood Hulk Hogan getting involved afterwards. Not too bad a show, just several booking errors, or things that I feel could be improved on.
WWF Jakked: Saturday 13th April 2002...Backlash is shaping up nicely. Tajiri beating Chavo Guerrero was a good opening contest, but Tajiri needs something to do with the WWF Cruiserweight Championship. Chavo attacking Tajiri with the title was weird, I keep forgetting that you stuck with Tajiri as a face, though he'd do much better as the heel with the face girlfriend. Shawn Stasiak beating Funaki wasn't bad, but nothing special really. Stasiak isn't going to get far in my eyes. Funaki you should start milking him a personality up. Hugh Morrus beating Crash Holly, glad that Hugh won. That guy could still have a good chance on the SmackDown! card more often. Edge beating the Bossman was the right main event, liked the disqualification finish, was weird to see Kurt Angle get payback on Jakked though. Hopefully Angle manages to control Edge this next week on SmackDown!. Nothing too bad this episode. Wonder when you plan on bringing in Velocity.
WWF Sunday Night Heat: Sunday 14th April 2002...The Dudley Boyz beating Lance Storm and D-Lo Brown was...odd. Brown and Storm as a team wouldn't work that well in my eyes. Clash of personas. On the bright side, Brown could bring something COLORFUL to Storm's bland character. Haku beating Al Snow was obvious. I loved Haku. Spike Dudley beating Hardcore Holly was a surprise. Meanwhile, Booker T beating Maven was obvious. "Booker T took a step off RAW to defeat the rookie Raven". ;oooooooooooo Nothing too special. Heat's the weakest show of the four in my eyes.
WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 15th April 2002...Stone Cold Steve Austin's promo was pretty good, glad that he will finally sign to a brand; RAW needs him in my eyes. I'd like to see Austin face Eddie Guerrero down the line, shame that storyline never panned out. A WWF Undisputed Championship reign I wouldn't mind either. Ric Flair's interruption was fun. Nice segment. Matt Hardy beating Chuck was a fine opening contest, just hope we get to see some more fascinating build to WWF Tag Team Championship matches in future. Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar's promos are being well written in this diary, I'm glad. Brock Lesnar then beating Goldust was expected, Mr Perfect feuding with Goldust doesn't interest me all that much. Rikishi getting involved was pretty cool. Last minute build to their match, where Lesnar is obviously going over. Eddie Guerrero and Booker T beating Rob Van Dam and Maven...oddball tag team match. I'd figure Booker would have some jealousy with Eddie after he stole his chance to feud with RVD for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, but eh whatever. Plus Maven? I know he was credible, but that was a pretty much "what the hell" moment. I somewhat hope RVD retains the title at Backlash, and then that allows Eddie to win the belt next month. That'd be a bit more interesting in my eyes. It's just been made too obvious that Eddie's leaving Kansas City as champ. X-Pac beating Bradshaw was an interesting match, I did like X-Pac running from Kane; you finally grasped the 24/7 rule! The Rock and Kane making the save was a nice call. Hit the breaks and put Bradshaw in the two-on-three handicap match at Backlash already! I'm a little confused by the Dudley Boyz' roles honestly. They were heels going into WrestleMania X8, suddenly they're feuding with the heel Lance Storm. I do like this idea of Storm trying to find the perfect partner. Say...where's Justin Credible? Or did you draft him to SmackDown!...Spike Dudley beating Hardcore Holly didn't really serve a purpose in being on RAW in my eyes. Just got Spike over for his underdog tactics. No association yet with Spike and his brothers, D-Von and Bubba Ray yet...hmm. Trish Stratus beating Ivory was fine, I think Ivory's still worthy of being a WWF Womens Champion honestly. Jazz getting involved as well as the new Molly Holly was nice, but you should have saved Molly's character revealing over the mic for an interview perhaps at Backlash or RAW next week. Just seemed to dim the segment a little. And lastly, poor main event but would have gone down well, with Kane beating Kevin Nash thanks to X-Pac. The WWF Hardcore Championship harmed Kane? Hah, it's just leather and a few scrapped bits of gold plate and duct tape. The final war was pretty nice regardless, and Bradshaw being with Rock and Kane as RAW went off the air should rightfully propell him into the handicap match this Sunday. Overall, a good go-home show for Backlash, just seems weak due to Triple H focusing on SmackDown! lately. In future, balance him out a little more.

Ah, my bad on the Dudleyz. I completely forgot they were heels as well, probably because Bubba and Spike were faces around the time in real life.

Austin opening the show was nice, glad to see this choosing a brand thing is going to end at Backlash as it has seemed to drag at times, but a well written promo nonetheless. Matt beating Chuck is fine, this tag feud has been pretty bland though focusing on the singles matches. Nice Heyman/Lesnar promo and match with Goldust, hopefully you just have Lesnar decide to destroy Perfect as well at some stage as I can't get behind this loose alliance the two seem to have. Nice promo by RVD, as always your promos are very well written and top notch stuff. Couple of random pairings here, that's probably one thing I might fix is that you do seem to pair random people up without any explanation just because they are face/heel. Don't like that Booker has nothing to really do, hopefully that picks up following Backlash. Loved the Bradshaw/Rock/Kane promo, a face tough guy patriotic Bradshaw is something I definitely think should be explored and pushed as it has a lot of potential. X-Pac/Bradshaw was solid, liked the NWO running out and Kane & Rock making the save. Spike/Hardcore seemed like meh filler. Nice Austin/NWO promo, nice win for Trish and progression for the Trish/Jazz feud as well as the revealing of Molly's new character. Kane/Nash is a bit of a meh main event for me especially ending in a dq, glad the NWO stood tall with Nash delivering the final blow of a Jack-knife through the announcer table, sounded like a good spot.
Overall it was a pretty solid show, the segments and feud progression are written really well done, booking was a bit eh at times and the show did feel a bit lacking at times and I am enjoying Smackdown and what you're doing there a lot more at the moment. But overall really good job and I look forward to more.
