They weren't as loud as an ECW crowd, they popped hard for Cena, and I hate Va. Tach from their Big East football days of playing against my team Syracuse (EDIT: I know I messed up the school, but I just wanted to leave this up since I still love SU, and still hate Va. Tech. GO ORANGE!), but despite these deficientcies, for some reason, that crowd was awesome last night. I think it was because of the great signs (Steamboat for HOF indeed), and the fact that they were basically dead when Hogan came out and Fauxgan botched the big boot.
You rule, University Of Virginia crowd!

I thought the crowd was awful for the majority of the night.

Nice signs
"Orton=Boring "I'm Shelton Benjamin's Mama" "Mickie Country" "Steamboat: HOF 2007"
There was something else that was great but it's slipping my mind right now.

Could it be the "Bring back Luther Reigns" sign, perhaps? I thought the crowd was pretty vocal till the ending segment which sucked the air out of the place.

the "live TV = no Khali" sign held up during the UUUUMAGA match had me cracking up

Yeah.. I saw the Reigns one and the one about Khali not being able to wrestle LIVE. Hmmm. Nah. I think it's something else. I 'll check the Tivo a little later.

Also, the Diva Search=Clueless+Boring. I think that's what it said.
Bet that doesn't get Sign Of The Week honors.
And that Bring Back Luther Reigns sign was so out of left field, how could you not love it.

It was very random, and I think they should bring back Luther Reigns, he could talk on the mic and was a decent power wrestler.

Victoria was in the ring why that had that damn "Diva Search=No Talent Hacks" sign right in the middle of the front seats. I liked the "Foley SUCKS" chants too. There was also the hilarious...." World Titles SHOULD NOT spin" sign.

There was a point during the Edge/Carlito match that Lita was standing outside the ring and someone was holding a sign RIGHT BEHIND HER that said something funny.
What was it? I can't remember. One sign said "I want a little bit of Lita"... but thats not the one I'm talking about.

Late in the show, directly behind Lawler there was a "Bring Back Honky Tonk Man" sign, hilarious

And some idiot grip guy snatched the sign away from the fan.
And for those wondering what a grip is, they are a person who runs cables and give the camera guys slack so they can get those uptight shots on wrestlers and other assorted stuff.

Yeah, I'm gonna give credit to the crowd. They pop for DX, huge pop for Cena, nice heat on Edge, I heard them get pissed @ the Lita win since the majority of them were really behind Mickie. Also, Flair got a nice wooo pop too.
The best though were the signs:

Despite the markieness they were a really fun crowd and really seemed to enjoy the show. My favorite sigh last night was "Title belts should not spin!"

Sigmafan, you're killing me. I already had the Beastie Boys "Remote Control" in my head, and then you go ahead and hit me with the Oberlord. Fantastic. They need to bring that show back. Anyways, yeah, back on subject, the "World Titles SHOULD NOT spin" sign kinda brought the night together.
