Re: Official 4/23 RAW discussion. Will Brock make Cena piss his pants?
Should be a decent show tonight.
Does anyone know how the crowd in Detroit is?
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.
