At some point you can't blame the crowd. I wouldn't go as far as to say the show sucked because I enjoyed watching it tonight but it was light on the wrestling (again) and honestly, there wasn't a lot to cheer. They popped for Austin, which they should. They didn't give JBL much of a reaction but he never really got that tremendous of a reaction in the first place. You add in too much Cole (and I LIKE Cole but it was overkill) and I think the crowd did the best they could.

It was a crowd more geared to the common wrestling fan rather then the wrestling smark-afficianado sect. I think their reactions were pretty sound for the product WWE put out there. Not a hot crowd by any stretch, but further showing that WWE as currently constituted is a weak product. weakest in 2 decades IMO And the whine goes on...seriously dude the pessimistic act gets old. I just read like 10 posts straight in the Raw thread of you belly-aching. The crowds the past few weeks/months have been super hot so you're way off base. This was actually a very well booked show and the crowd just totally sucked. Just an observation based on what was on TV tonight. If you tell me tonights show was great than I can't argue with you, those are your feelings. If you think Miz is setting the world on fire, fine. Maybe the crowd tonight just stunk. But 20k people basically ignoring what was the great build to Mania in the main event tonight spoke volumes IMO |

Yeah, the crowd was awful. Even for the segments that they shouldn't have paid as much heed to, they gave ZERO reaction to. They were pretty merciless. What exactly were they expecting to see in a Wrestlemania hypefest show?

They were trashing on things he said that were actually funny. Have a pearl necklace, Frog. I did like the sight of the little girl's cena chant being drowned out by the Rocky chants around her, even if the Rocky chant wasn't as loud as it could have been. |

The Cena hate was BLIND Cena hate though. They were trashing on things he said that were actually funny. Unless they started showing some past promos and I conveniently blacked out at the same time then I can't think of a single amusing thing he did beyond that T-Shirt which actually got applause. |

Not to mention the idiot hayseed that rushed the ring at the end. So that's what happened. I was wondering why the camera didn't focus on Cena after the Miz hit him with the belt. I think I saw one of the security guys run into the ring too. |

I loved that guy that yelled, "YOU STILL SUCK" at Cena a couple times.

The two guys in the front row annoyed me. One was wearing a shirt that said 'HEEL' on it.
Just smarks who were trying to take away from the show. 'LOOK AT ME!! I KNOW HOW THINGS WORK!'. Eh, people like that annoy me. Just go to the show, get into it and enjoy it, don't spend the night trying to look cool, lol.

I remember at the RAW Homecoming in Dallas, the two people in that same spot were holding up newspapers and pretending to read them when Hogan came out. I wonder if those were the same guys... |

You know, it's supposed to be the wrestler's that work the crowd, not the other way around. Too bad they've got horribly written promos and storylines to work with.

Don't blame me.
About the fan run in, it happened after Miz's 2nd belt shot on Cena. I've seen the TV version of the show now and they pretty much avoided getting any of it on camera, except for a quick shot of the top of the guys head.
Basically, he seemingly ran down the ramp, into the ring, security came, he slid out, ran around and slid back in the other side, kind of running in a circle. The Miz just kind of starred dumbfounded.
Security finally got him, but the best part was Justin Roberts ran over to help detain the guy.

Pretty much. They could barely get off their asses for Austin of all people.

I usually catch on straight away when it's a lousy crowd, but I didn't really think they were that bad last night. They were really hot for JoMo.

If a crowd's non-interaction ruins a show for you, the show wasn't that good to begin with. Unless you're only in it for peer pressure...
