Hello.
So as I was watching last week's SDL episode, after realizing that I didn't watch last week's episode, I saw that SDL was going to be in Atlanta this week. So I bought a ticket ASAP. Was cheaper than I thought it'd be.
So fast forward, I made it about an hour early (around 6:30) and I was munching on my coke & popcorn (which btw were kind of cheap considering they're free refills) - while we were waiting for about an hour or so, the chants of three people would constantly flare up: Styles, Charlotte & Nakamura; with the occasional New Day chants here and there. There were lots of Cena & AJ's merch around.
I was sitting in 109 NN; so I was one of the lower sections facing the titantron directly.
Here are some observations I've made throughout the show. I don't know how this translated into TV because I haven't watched it yet:
- Luke & Dillinger were over. Can't believe Dillinger is already downgraded to pre-show matches, along with Luke.
- They really need to STOP having Nakamura speak on the mic. It kills his mystique and they're slowly killing him with this rockstar & artist monicker. When Nakamura was talking on the mic, the crowd was having a hard time responding because it was kind of hard to understand what he was saying. Owens got good heel heat while the crowd was kind of indifferent towards Corbin.
- Usos got 50/50 reactions. One portion of the crowd was cheering and one portion of the crowd was booing but towards the end, they got definite solid heat.
- The New Day had the second most over reaction behind Styles. Yes, New Day got better reactions than Nakamura.
- Tyler Breeze is really gaining popularity fast.
- Charlotte was over ; I'd argue she's more over than Nakamura tonight because she had constant reactions. The women's segment overall drew a positive reaction from the crowd.
- The crowd booed the shit out of Mahal; go-away heat, not heel heat.
- Randy sounded much more fluid in his promo tonight. Sounded like coked-up Randy.
- Ziggler was hated tonight, especially after pinning Styles - which drew an appropriate 'WTF' reaction from the crowd.
Most of the crowd left before 205 live started.
The show was much more bearable to watch without listening to commentary. I felt this week was a strong week for SDL. They're heading into the right directions in a lot of places.
Pics will be added soon.
