This was, in my opinion, a ;D episode of Raw. And yet, the Minneapolis crowd CRAPPED ALL OVER IT.
They completely no sold anything Kofi did. They were mostly indifferent during every match. The completely no sold the SOLID GOLD MIZ/MVP promo. They chanted boring multiple times at random, including during Vince's promo, visibly baffling him.
WTF was that? Did they just not want to be there?
I have never seen a crowd that bad, and it seriously tainted an otherwise above average ra.

I completely agree, terrible crowd made it tough to watch an otherwise good Raw. What really made me go "WTF" was the boring chant during Vinces segment. He barely started talking and already "booooooooring, booooooooooring". Made no sense what so ever.

All I kept thinking is 'Vince won't be coming back here in a hurry' so they ruined it for themselves.

I hope the fact that they barely even reacted for the entrances of DX, Cena, and Orton is enough for WWE to realize that Kofi not getting a reaction from them was not his fault. Admittedly, he even started to get people on his side during the match a tiny bit, so...
But yeah, that crowd was absolutely horrible. Let's hope WWE never goes back.

I forget, what was Cena reacting to when he told Kofi to "Ignore them, I do"?

oh, and surely the Raw crowd deserves bonus points for the "you screwed Shawn" chant?

I didn't really notice the crowd, though they are kind of dumb. There was a 'SHAEMUS' sign. Who doesn't proof-read their signs? Minneapolis, that's who.
Anyway, agreeing on the McMahon part. 'Boring' chants? Talk about a short attention span.

Is there a link to McMahon's promo? Chant starts at about 1:04. IMO it just sounds like a small pocket of people bein jerks. But yeah, I doubt they're coming back in the near future. That crowd sucked. |

I am so glad people agree with me.... I was thinking this the whole time and almost made a thread about this.
I have watched RAW for years and this was the lamest crowd I have ever seen. Minneapolis should be ashamed of themselves. It reminded me of some old WCW crowds or old school TNA crowds where they bring in non wrestling fans at the amusement park who don't know who to cheer for or against.
Way too many "What?" chants for no reason. Boring chants for no reason. Especially Vince's important Bret Hart promo. Being dead for the most awesome promos MVP and Miz have ever given.
I hated this crowd and I hope they never get another WWE show.

Even though the crowd was very odd most of the night... the YOU SCREWED SHAWN chant at least deserves some bonus points.

They gave Sheamus good heat so I can at least respect them for that, but other than that they were terrible. It's not even like they were being smarky, and cheering for a heel or someone with a big indie reputation, it was boring chants in important parts of the show, it was what chants when they weren't funny...it was a lack of reaction for Kofi, MVP and Miz. The Kofi thing gets me, because here is a guy that the WWE is trying to push, but when he's talking the crowd is more interested in saying Cena sucks.
A Smark crowd I can deal with, because they are at least getting into the show and making it memorable. That was a crowd that a large portion of decided to just be plain annoying. Who chants 'boring' when they don't even know what's going on for goodness sake? Why buy the ticket in the first place?

Was I mistaken or did I hear a very short lived "This is awesome" chant during the Miz/MVP promo?

I was fed up with the crowd when that one section chanted "boring" during the Vince promo. That and the nonsense "WHAT" chants probably won't get this city another RAW for a few years.

Yeah it was a bad crowd in general which can be pretty much summed up by the guy with the WWF and Benoit signs. IMO just a group just trying to cause trouble for the sake of it.

And that's all well and good when it's actually entertaining, but in this case you got the sense the food stands had run out of all drinks and so were selling shots of Niquel. |
