Also commonly referred to as RAW 241, the wrestling club has been in existence for approximately seven years and has trained some of the finest wrestlers in the country. The proof is in the results.

That offensive fire power is the hallmark of all RAW 241 wrestlers and carries over onto the mat as well.
