Punk? Beyond that, I honestly can't think of one.

Welcome to Wrestlinggaf, Sweeney Tom. Around these parts, we brand those who oppose popular consensus "gimmick posters."
Seth-kun survived Cena and went on to become WWE Champion.
Came back from raw and the main event was a bust. Most the people that sat around me also sat near me at mania and also are booked at the same hotel so a lot of people were able to spread chants quicker due to already being acquainted with one another.
Yes
There's talk on twitter of nasty chants during the Divas match. How was the situation live?
First two hours or so. The main event and most of the last hour is nothing.
It's March 31st.
Preach.

I was there. It was "suck." And all of those misogynistic chants by the man children really brought the energy of the rest of the crowd down. The stinker of a main event didn't help.
But they do. All the time. In fact WHAT chants are worst in casual crowds.

Got to agree with you on this one
Once the "You Suck Cena" chant started, a lot of idiots continued on. It was split in my area with people sitting out the chants and others contributing to the nonsense. They would last 10 seconds and move onto the next diva besides Paige. After that the chants turned pro Divas, cheering for AJ, and No More Bellas. After it finished, there were several arguments from those who didn't participate and those who did on why the sexist chants weren't cool.
Edit: I heard no What chants or CM Punk in my section. Only time Punk was heard was "You Suck Punk" which was then booed.
I said it yesterday and I'll say it again based on my experience at WrestleMania this year.
The ones starting the Let's go Cena chants a majority of the time are troll male adults who just want to start the chant. They typically aren't started by women and children. They merely join along.
I imagine the same goes for every other chant.

Barrage told the truth.
Neither Bryan or Punk endured several losses in their feuds with him. Same for Bork.
Edge is the only one I can think of who often lost to the guy but remained relevant and over for a main event spot. Probably because he kept doing the opportunistic things, via briefcase or other shenanigans.
Verendus?
Balee dat.

My favorite parts of Raw tonight
Kalisto killing it in his debut
Neville killing it in his debut
Brock killing Michael Cole
JBL being off commentary
Rollins being the champ who runs from challenges
Ambrose vs Cena

So pretty much the same way Cena arguments form here. Fascinating.
Sweet. Neville won i see. Sad no divas debuted.

The Reigns booing is just stupid now. He didn't win the title. Get over it people.

To me, it's that he inspires the same apathy as guys like Kane or Ryback. Just a boring big dude, though he is the best of them. Brock's in his own category.

Yes they did.
OH SHIT. This is why I follow along with the thread even when I don't watch it live.
And I really like the hoodie cape thing on Neville. Getting pyro straight away means they're slightly hot on him, right?
First time seeing Neville. Your next generation spot fest wrestler. Marked out for his double flip in the beginning. How is he on the mic?
I also thought Sheamus looked good. He's much better off as a heel and has nice strong stiff style. Was digging his beat down of DBry and Ziggler up until his bland "I'm back".

Mania was really good fun. Far more than it should have been. Going to check out Raw as well and see how it goes.
Ronda is the fucking best. If we and the other half did that stupid freebie list thing, I think she'd be on both of ours.

This RAW was really good until hour 3 and it went downhill fast. I can't believe they booked this shit as the main event. When will they learn that Kane I. big Show have I place above the midcard? I should probably get back to not watching main WWE, because it's probably going to become shitty again real fast.

Why can't I find the Sting after Raw thing on the network?
The one time I can actually tune in to these things (got it for WM month lol) and I can't find it. :| Did you have to watch it live?

They should just call him Jack. Would probably confuse a lot of people though, so he'll probably have to do something to signify it's a new name. How about New Jack?
EDIT: What's the Sting thing under on the Network? Nothing on search and can't find it under Raw, Backstage Pass, Pre-Show or even Wrestlemania.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Slowly working through WM. HHH's Terminator entrance was pretty lame lol. Rusev's was dope as shit and he had a good match, poor Lana.

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn that Raw was fucking awesome. Mainly because Lesnar was there to kick ass for the first time in a decade. Holy shit that was good.
Terrible camera work though, missed a ton of reaction shots by Lesnar, as well as his hit on the stooges.
Oh yeah Kallisto was fucking fantastic. Great to see a really good call up, wish they did the same for Charlotte a few months ago
He was red hot, can't believe I would actually enjoy a 4 vs 4 tag match but it worked really well. Love that they are still making Cesaro look strong too!

Maybe that's why Lesnar killed one of them? He looked up at the screen and noticed a few of his glorious reactions were missing.

It was smart that his first impression to a worldwide audience was with Cesaro who knows how to make a small guy look amazing, that spot on his shoulders was great.
I also like that we didn't see the best of either Kalisto and Neville in terms of spots other than the Red Arrow. Like my favourite Kalisto spot is when he stops himself on his hands and Neville has a shit load in reserve.
Overall, that was a brilliant 2 hours. Unlike other Raw after Manias, they booked a show that said they knew their audience for the night, so the crowd just added to it rather than being the main reason to watch. 3rd hour was the usual though.
I'm cautiously optimistic going forward. Seth as the champ should be fun and hopefully the idea of raising the US and IC title happens, so I'll watch Raw the morning after for a few weeks and see what happens. I just don't want to see champs constantly losing non-title matches. Hiring Jimmy Jacobs to write for the main shows has also changed my tune a bit. I'm not familiar with his work at all, but just hiring someone with an actual wrestling background for that position makes me happy as the TV backgrounds haven't really worked out.
Raw was great. A lot of great momentum and stories going around. And then that fucking main-event happened.
I knew it was going to be rough since Kane and Big Show were involved but they didn't do anything with it. Nothing of note happened. Just a lot of boredom. What a mess.
Also, Saxton did the best he could I guess but putting him alone was a bad move. King (surprisingly) really saved his ass. Hopefully the fact that he didn't do a great job won't be held against him in the future because I do like the guy. Still, you have to give new guys a chance to do something and I'm glad he at least got a chance.
Also, if they take Lana away from Rusev they are dumber than I thought.
EDIT: Oh, I forgot. Sheamus looked amazing. Shame he kicked Ziggler's ass instead of Bryan's. I think it would worked better if he just battered Bryan for a while.
