I went to Raw live (great box seats, right next to where Del Rio enters). I felt like being Ryan... Ryan... Ryan something, and giving some notes about the experience live.
5 Biggest Pops
1) Orton. It. Was. DEAFENING.
2) John Cena
3) The RKO
4) Triple H
5) Drew. Freaking. McInytre. Drew got a bigger pop in the dark match than CM Punk did in any of his three appearances (he came down at the end of the show to kick Ricardo's ass--doubt they showed that).
5 Biggest Boos
1) Swagger
2) Vickie
3) Del Rio
4) Nash o.O
5) Ziggler
Edit: Do note that all the boos came when these people were bashing Cena and/or Sheamus. Except for Nash, that was for pushing HHH.
Really, outside of the entrances and match ends, the crowd was DEAD. The crowd didn't get really live until Orton came out and then practically died until John came out. Orton stayed what I assumed was all commercial break after his match to pose. He really milked it.
F John Cena tried to get started a few times as a chant. Cena Sucks/Let's Go Cena obviously. The crowd--outside of my section on the wings and the one across from us--didn't really seem to care for Punk. I heard a few K-Qwik chants. The Superstars Tag match was virtually impossible to tell who were the faces and who were the heels. I didn't know until the finish (No spoilers). The crowd didn't know who anyone was. No reaction.
The WWE showed a Promo about Ryder's Youtube Shows. I'm not sure they showed it on TV... It was pretty good, honestly. Ryder getting the win got a good pop from my section.
Mason (on Superstars) got some support from the crowd!
Divas match was a bathroom break. At one point I was only one over 15 left in my section during that match.
Del Rio stayed by his car and bantered with the fans from the cut to commercial all the way until Vickie came out. He really seemed to get them riled, but I went to the bathroom during the commercial break (the faces just kinda stood around, so it was pretty obvious). Speaking of Vickie, I heard a lot of teenage girls chanting that she was fat. Also heard a lot of Anti-Barrett stuff, to the point that I started to chant for Barrett (huge fan), but it never caught on.
