That was a great 12 minute summary of the show!
I think we just saw what the difference is between the complete hardcore wrestling fan and the target market of 8 year old kids. The kids will cheer for who they are told to cheer for. It's like going to see Disney on Ice.
When you have this hardcore crowd, they are way harder to please. If they don't like a matchup, they will find something that will entertain them instead. But they have passion and they are loud. There were definitely some bad things coming out of it though. I'm sure Sheamus and Randy Orton weren't thrilled.
I think this is as close as you can get to the attitude era. The crowd was HOT and really wanted to get into the show. But the writers are afraid of this. These fans have higher expectations, and if you put out a product that the fans don't like, EVERYBODY will know. In a way I think they'd rather have this all go away and go back to the little kids and their John Cena merch.
