So last night I was at RAW in Albany courtesy of my sister who bought tickets as Christmas presents! Here are some things I noticed about the show last night: - Abraham Washington in the dark match was while not bad on the mic, he was greener than the Green Giant in the ring. Primo was his opponent, and while he was okay, that whole dark match felt really off mainly due to Washington's inexperience. - Superstars had two matches: William Regal vs. David Hart Smith, which saw Regal win which was cool, and a tag match with Yoshi Tatsu/Darren Young jobbing to the Usos, who seriously in person have less heat than the fire on the end of a match. -On and on to RAW: The opening promo segment I thought was pretty good, albeit a little longish. Punk looked terrific as the righteous heel with both men actually getting mixed reactions from where I sat. - While most of the rest of the episode was okay (Sheamus/Orton impressed me live), I HATED the ending. It was like WWE went back to peg one after six months worth of, ahem, activity with Nexus and just put Punk in Barrett's spot. I hated it so much, I slammed my Pepsi cup to the ground and left early. If it was the first time Nexus attacked Cena, then perhaps I would have been surprised, but this is beatdown number what now, 66? Seriously, Punk and Cena didn't need the albatross known as Nexus, and now with the group back in it, this whole feud seems DOUBLY stupid when you also include the diet soda thing. Oh, by the way, I started the 'What' chant during Miz's promo last night. The second chant I've ever started with "HOLY SHIT!" table bump from NEW's Spring Slam 2008 being the first one.

Thanks for the info.
BUT...
NEVER start (or take part in) a what chant. Don't support promo terrorism.

"What" chants are my least favorite thing about the WWE.

Darren Young and Yoshi Tatsu vs. The Usos is turning into the new "Hawkins vs. Baretta" isn't it?

You start saying what, they start booking The Great Khali's kiss-cam. You start booing Cena, they bring back HHH. And you're posting online using an alias. Take this guy: adultery, attempted homicide, corporate takeovers galore. Got a taste for the melodramatic, like you. Leaves a calling card.

Was there a dark match main event? Yes, John Cena and Randy Orton def. The Miz and Sheamus. I didn't see it because I was so disgusted with the main event angle, I left early.

Re: the What chants, I actually thought the way they played out with Miz was hilarious, so you get a pass this time.

But do you not sense the irony of hating an angle you find to not be creative, but yelling out the least creative chant of all time?

Oh, by the way, I started the 'What' chant during Miz's promo last night. Oh you're just the worst kind of person. And why would you admit to that? It's like saying "Hey. I kicked your grandmother down some stairs. Enjoy!" The guy next to me at the last Smackdown/ECW/Superstars I was at tried to start a "What?!" chant. Needless to say I wanted to toss him right onto the entrance ramp and let security escort him out of the building.

Sounds to me like your overreacting. Also, don't do WHAT chants. They're stupid and annoying. They're Austins' worst contribution to wrestling.

was gonna respond to the whole What? chant myself; but everyone else seems to echo my sentiment.
they have no place in wrestling after the year 2003.

"WHAT" chants are only reserved for this man. And thats how it goes.
