Just got home. Not an amazing Raw, but I had fun. The crowd was into it and the matches were fine.
Some things:
- Kids love this stuff. It's hard to be cynical when you're surrounded by little girls marking the fuck out for Bayley and Sasha or kids screaming "New Day Rocks!" at the top of their lungs.
- There was a weird moment where Jojo started announcing Jinder Mahaal...even though his music wasn't playing. And he wasn't coming out. And she was supposed to be telling us about an NXT show next month. We all had a good laugh about it, Jojo included.
- Triple Threat match was hilarious in person because you can see the girls taking turns napping outside. Bayley looked dead for a while. And I told yall about how a little girl behind me was pissed that Sasha was just laying around outside. I still marked out for Sasha tho.
- Lemme tell yall something. I have stanned for Chris Jericho since I was ten years old. Part of the reason I went to the show was to finally get to see his entrance live. So of course I was waiting for chicken tenders when he came out. Of course I was. And I missed most of the Highlight Reel...Better luck next time.
I blame Bo Dallas.
- Holy Shit when Enzo and Cass came out it got loud! And I admit I was part of it.
- The KO side during the competing chants couldn't agree on whether to chant "Fight Owens Fight" or "Let's go Owens." Or maybe I couldn't hear. And man, the kids took us booing Roman really personally. I stopped because I felt bad lol.
- Thank You Rusev! lol
- Crowd was behind Alicia Fox. There was also a section that knew all the words to Nia's song. Was not expecting that.
- Seth's whining is even more annoying live. That KO ether tho.
All in all, a fun night. I'm glad I went, and I even ran into a guy I went to middle school with. I bought a KO and Rollins shirt (I like his solgan). They're probably not #safe, but whatevs.
