Getting a screen grab of the "I Came To See Nakamura" sign that hammers home this particular point proved difficult. The guy holding it just wouldn't stop waving the thing around, and WWE's cameras wouldn't show him for longer than a millisecond. That's probably because Naka, this guy's hero, is now a heel.

There was a nice contrast in the kind of fans WWE attract to shows when the camera crew did catch someone opposite hard cam waving a, "I Came To Eat Pancakes With The New Day" placard. That right there is the subtle difference between what people want from a live WWE experience.
