4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw

3. Brooklyn Loud

A live crowd can make or break a Monday Night Raw. Even the most well-written and performed program can fall flat if the audience is sitting on their hands. Similarly, a raucous arena like the Barclays Center on Monday can turn a dull program into something easily watchable, even memorable. The Brooklyn faithful restored faith in humanity by turning viciously on the Kathie Lee and Hoda segment, chanting €œThis is stupid€ at the €œmatch€ between Hornswoggle and El Torito, and chanting for Damien Mizdow during Miz€™s match against Sheamus. The crowd also delivered the rarely heard but truly awesome €œJohn Cena sucks€ sing-along to Cena€™s entrance music. That, and their reaction to Dean Ambrose throughout the night and the one good match (Usos/Ziggler versus Dust Brothers/Cesaro) showed they were engaged and appreciative. And it bears repeating that despite being a boisterous crowd, Brooklyn was respectful enough to cheer on John Lunden in her fight against breast cancer €“ the right mix of brazen and polite.
