Detroit seems to have become a very much "average" WWE crowd for most shows. Over the Limit 2010, pretty good, honestly. Hot start with Kofi taking the IC strap, crowd loved it/him. Cooled off for a lot of midcard mediocrity, then there was the roller coaster ride of Punk/Rey in which Punk was bloodied and he kept the match going rather than be attended to. And the oddness of Orton/Edge with Orton's bizarre injury. In a lot of ways the PPV itself was a complete trainwreck after the opener. But the crowd seemed game.
The Raw before Royal Rumble 2011, though, was a pretty dead crowd but that was also one of the worst, most pedestrian "Go Home" Raws for a Royal Rumble I've ever seen. Perhaps the worst and most pedestrian.
There should be some excitement in the air over the Lesnar/Cena signing... But, a word to the wise, these three-hour Raws can be utterly exhausting for live audiences. Also, the first hour to these Raws is almost always superfluous. I'm expecting a lot of Brodus Clay, Hornswoggle, Santino, David Otunga, divas and maybe a pinch of Ryback or something along those lines for Hour 1, if most of their three-hour Raws are anything to go by. It'll probably kick off with something a bit offbeat like Kane chortling over what he's done to Randy or something.
Re: Official 4/23 RAW discussion. Will Brock make Cena piss his pants?
Expecting the typical contract-signing-turned-brawl with Michael Cole branding it as "the most controversial incident in WWE history" or something equally moronic.
Re: Official 4/23 RAW discussion. Will Brock make Cena piss his pants?
Looking forward to the 3 hour Raw tonight. I hope we see some lengthy matches or some new faces on the show that we don't usually see giving us good entertaining matches rather than silly backstage segments or pointless long drawn out promo's.
Ideally, I'd like to see Dean Ambrose debut tonight and start the fire for his on-air TV feud with Mick Foley.
Re: Official 4/23 RAW discussion. Will Brock make Cena piss his pants?
Damn Crofty you got in early with this one. I'll have to be more prepared next week :hmm:
I'm not really looking forward to tonight to be honest. Punk/Jericho has lost me, Brock/Cena has lost me, I doubt they'll give Bryan screen time, I doubt Ambrose, Cesaro, Rollins or Sandow will debut, I expect average midcard matches with Ziggler losing, Big Show to murder someones overness and everyone to bitch and complain about it before, during and afterwards.
Re: Official 4/23 RAW discussion. Will Brock make Cena piss his pants?
I just hope they bring in 1-2 DECENT Matches, not just Funkasaurus&Tensai squashing people...Contract signings are boring, it's going to be the same as always: some words, some "evil" looks to each other, signing, and then Lesnar will beat up Cena until he bleeds again...
Re: Official 4/23 RAW discussion. Will Brock make Cena piss his pants?
- The Era of People Power with John Laurinaitis will continue on tonight’s three-hour WWE RAW Supershow from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Confirmed for tonight’s show is the Extreme Rules contract signing between John Cena and Brock Lesnar. Advertised locally is CM Punk and Cena vs. Kane and Chris Jericho in the dark main event.
Re: Official 4/23 RAW discussion. Will Brock make Cena piss his pants?
here's what i'm expecting .. after the contract signing is done , they will brawl (obviously) , however cena will counter brock's attack , and he'll grab a chair and smack brock's head with it TWICE , but lesnar no-sells (like how with the hardy's chair shots on him in 2002)
Cena will stare at brock all confused and brock will look pissed .. show goes off the air
Re: Its John Cena's Birthday Today! Will he get his ass kicked by Lesnar?
As much as people love to see Cena lose and be dominated, it's not going to last and tonight is their last night to make Cena look strong for the PPV so people actually think he'll have a chance to win, I could see Cena getting a win over Lord Tensai or getting the advantage over Brock Lesnar in a brawl.

Yep, maybe not a brawl but Cena is most likely standing tall one way or another at the end of tonights episode, very interested to see how they handle it, the booking of this feud has been excellent so far but with how much is invested in Brock bringing a big ppv number they need something unique tonight, other than the usual typical kick the table over and scrap.
There'll probably be a ton of dudes in the ring for the signing to hold each guy back.
Re: Official 4/23 RAW discussion. Will Brock make Cena piss his pants?
Watching only for the contract signing, should be an interesting segment. Brock is on fire, Cena can be decent without his usual crap, they need to do an intense promo and end the show with a big brawl, Cena probably getting the upper hand because MEGASTAR BROCK is squashing him on PPV Sunday.
Re: Official 4/23 RAW discussion. Will Brock make Cena piss his pants?
Looking forward to RAW tonight looks like a fair bit will be happening, sadly I will have to see it tommorow due to the time difference.
