I was sitting on a corner
on the floor. There were signs confiscated by the security guard in front if me.
He had the signs behind his chair. The only sign I could make out was Seth for
Business sign in multicolor letters.
There were CM Punk chants before the
Superstars taping started.
Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt was awesome. The
crowd was split as well. There were chants of “Let’s Go Wyatt” and “Y2J” back
and forth. The Jericho splash from the top of the cage started receiving “holy
shit” chants but then went to “this is awesome” chant. Definitely think best
match of their feud. The Wyatt entrance is still amazing in person with all the
lights. I’ve seen it live about four times already.
Dolph Ziggler got a
nice pop but I think the crowd was disappointed that he wasn’t going to
wrestle.
The Divas match was alright. AJ Lee got a nice pop but once
Paige’s music hit she got the louder pop.
What can I say about Paul
Heyman? He had the crowd in complete control as he should have. He had boos and
cheers. John Cena, by far, still drew the loudest pop of the night. Thanks to
Cena for pointing out the two guys with white shirts, I was on Raw. Good segment
though and the crowd was into it.
Sheamus got a bigger pop than I
expected. The crowd enjoyed the match with him and Rollins. I’m now digging
Rollins’ theme song as it grew on me. Cesaro got booed at the end.
Rusev
and Lana were booed. USA chants broke out throughout her promo.
The NXT
tag match was good. It didn’t seem like everyone knew who they were except for
Tyson Kidd. The Ole chants did break out for Zayn. I think he was the most
popular. It was a good idea to give them a match on Raw before Takeover
II.
The Bellas and Jerry Springer segment was alright. The biggest thing
to take from this was the crowd loved chanting Jerry.
Los Matadores got
no reaction. Goldust and Stardust were cheered.
Adam Rose got a decent
reaction. Parts of the crowd was singing his song.
Randy Orton got a nice
pop for being one of the top heels. Roman Reigns blew him away as he got a
Cena-like pop for his entrance. The match was good and the crowd was into it.
The crowd was waiting for someone to come save Reigns, at least Cena, but it
didn’t happen obviously. Seth Rollins, Orton, and Kane got booed for the
finish.
When the show went off the air, Michael Cole and JBL left the
broadcast table so quickly you would think they had a plane to catch. On the
other hand, Lawler did not, as one of the WWE staffers pointed out a handicap
fan at ringside near me. Lawler took a picture with him and then
left.
Overall, I enjoyed the show. I look forward to watching it on
DVR.
