Not a fan of John Cena and not familiar with Brock Lesnar (other than his name being familiar from seeing his UFC figures in the toy aisles), but the all-out brawl between him and Brock Lesnar that got the entire roster out from the back to break them up was epic. Brock Lesnar is quickly becoming a favorite of mine now.
Lord Tensai vs Yoshi Tatsu was probably my favorite match as I wanted to see this happen since the former's debut last week. Even though I knew right from the start Yoshi wouldn't stand a chance and was just going be massacred, it was still fun to watch.
The whole CM Punk vs Jericho thing is a total yawn to me as I'm not a fan of either, but the inclusion of Mark Henry is what keeps me from tuning out.
I, for one, actually enjoyed the Three Stooges segment a lot and laughed out loud at their humor. Of course, it got tons better when Kane entered. Being a huge Mad TV fan back in the day, I no doubt enjoyed Will Sasso's Hulk Hogan bit, especially him taking a choke slam from Kane. What a trooper.
The last match, John Cena vs David Otunga, was pretty 'meh' until Brock Lesnar entered again.
Overall, I thought tonight's RAW was great!

Not the greatest Raw I've ever seen. As much as they are getting right into things with John Cena vs Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules, I'm not happy with it. I wanted it to at least be Summerslam before we see a Match like that, so it would feel special. Looks as though Brock is going to be a full on Heel int his.
The Crowd wasn't no way near as good as Miami's, which is to be expected.
I'm not to sure who will go over in the Cena vs Lesnar Match though. Despite it being Lesnar's first Match back, Cena could really do with the win, I just wish it was at Summerslam.

Deeper sounds carry more, so your noise deduction theory has flaws. It probably takes 4 grown men booing to drown out 10 kids cheering. WWE's biggest demo is adult males. They dominate most crowds and they usually hate Cena. It's no wonder that Cena gets either warring reactions or a negative reaction. There were a few Cena shirts and arm-waving supporters, but they were, as on most nights, the clear minority. I've been saying for years that Cena is a heel via default and that seems more fitting than ever now. WWE has an uphill battle to put heel heat on Brock. Jesus Christ you go on and on and on and on and on about Cena and how hated he is like you're trying to convince everyone, and yourself, that he has no fans. You make this post nearly every damn week like it matters. While you're overanalyzing every Cena crowd reaction, why not delve into, I don't know, how Kofi Kingston is still not over in the slightest after 4 years, apart from kids doing his corny Boom Boom Boom crap?

I actually think the crowd last night made the show seem worse than it was, maybe they were better live?
- I'm completely over Brodus Clay
- Brock vs Cena brawl was absolutely awesome
- I'm completely over Big Show vs Cody
- Lord Tensai is already starting to not work imo
- The Three Stooges were one of the most cringeworthy things I have seen on Raw in a very, very long time.
- Punk's promo kind of dragged on for me and then I thought it finished up really nicely at the end. Jericho with the beer was a great moment for the feud imo. I very much enjoy Punk's facial expressions and watching the different emotions during his interactions with Jericho.
- Brock squashing Cena at the end, was absolutely awesome.
- Brock telling the crowd no, when they wanted him to hit the F-5 again was awesome
Take the Stooges out of the show and I think it was a pretty solid episode. Make the crowd a little more active and you take a decent show and make it good.
