So, that was my first ever Raw taping, and gotta say I had a blast, figured I'd give y'all the run down on the after Raw shenanigans. ADR started running his mouth at Cena, who then said SDR didn't have the nuts to fight him. "Cult of Personality" hit as ADR started backing up the ramp, w/ CM Punk appearing, chasing him into the ring. Punk hit a GTS on ADR, followed by an AA from Cena. ADR rolled out of the ring, and then should Rodriquez into it, w/ Ricardo holding the WWE Title. Cena and Punk began tossing the title back and forth in a game of keep away from Ricardo, then basically using it like matadors, before finally laying him out with a GTS/AA combo also. Cena and Punk did the back and forth posing w/ the belt, then Cena left the arena. Punk spent a few minutes posing in the ring and at the ramp with it, before leaving backstage w/ the title.
Now, on another note.... how did we do? People have been complaining about the crowds lately, and aside from the tag team match, from where I was, it seemed pretty hot. Sometimes it doesn't translate well onto tv though, but I promise the crowd WAS cheering a lot lol

Crowd was better than last week. San Diego seemed to be great, but I think everyone is still judging based on the awesome Money in the Bank Crowd.

Another weird thing was early in the right, the sound wasn't right, at least at the arena. I'm watching now and obviously they broadcast from the soundboard, and I can tell you no one knew R-Truth vs Morrison was a Falls Count Anywhere match initially. People seemed confused at the first pin attempt outside the ring. I know I was.

Couple matches for Superstars.... I was getting nachos when they started, so I think it was Santino vs Primo, the one I saw fully was Ryder vs Drew McIntye. |

Two questions about that match: 1)Did Ryder have the Internet Title with him and 2)What kind of reaction did Ryder get. ...OK, three questions. 3)Did Drew get the full entrance? |

Lots of "Lets go Ryder!" chants the whole match... and pretty loud, along with a couple "woo woo woo" chants. 3.Full entrance for Drew. |

I'll take silence over 'what' anyday. If there was anychat that made wrestling fans look completely dumb and tacky on tv there it is. Do people watch RAW and not see how stupid they look and sound with the whole 'what' thing??

Do people watch RAW and not see how stupid they look and sound with the whole 'what' thing?? Considering I get annoyed by the chant when I watch it, and even I went with it kinda shows how easy it is to just get swept up in the show when you are there. Way I figured was even the crowd has it's role to play in the show, I basically turned into turbo mark there. Booed the hell out of all the heels, cheered all the faces, did the "What" chant. It's all about having fun. |

Not to bump my dead thread, but as an added bonus, if you any recall my mentioning this was done as a b-day gift for my friend's daughter, here she is, thrilled at her first WWE show, John Cena shirt and everything   I was actually getting antsy that John was non-existent until thevery last segment, since she's a huge fan. I was like "Seriously? I get her Raw tickets for her b-day and Cena is nowhere?" Even I marked like a 10 year old girl when he FINALLY made the save, cause I knew she'd be bummed if he wasn't there. |

WWE has done a damn good job w/ this angle, since I had a 10 year old girl in a John Cena shirt chanting CM Punk along with me. So, in case anyone was wondering if it's just the smark crowd into him now, it's not. She was funny the whole night... was SUPER stoked to see the Divas, since she's really into the girl power thing. She isn't that into some guys, since she really pays close attention to main event stuff and not midcarders, so in the Truth vs Morrison match she was like "Well, everyone is booing R-Truth.. so I guess I'll cheer for the guy in the sparkly pants". |

Easily Rey, Cena making the save and Punk. I dunno how well it translated on tv. I did geta kick out of 1) the subway sucks chant, and booing Jared and 2)dueling "lets go swagger" "swagger sucks" chants. When was the last time a crowd cared that much about Swagger? The crowd was also like, insanely hot for Santino in the Superstars taping. I think it was that "first match of the night" pop |
