7 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (August 24th)
2. Revolting Against The Revolution
Sorry Brooklyn. Chanting for announcers and doing the wave does not make you awesome. It makes you obnoxious. The first time it happened in 2013 with a crowd hijacking a live Raw, it was original and unique. Doing it now is just hackneyed. The rambunctious crowd turned on the six-woman tag match pretty quickly, offering its own indictment of the WWE Divas Revolution in light of the NXT Womens Championship match this weekend. Fans chanted for Sasha Banks (the losing champ in the NXT match) and indy wrestler and NXT jobber Blue Pants, a part-timer with WWE. That should give you an idea of how tweaked the fans were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ_gJaotr0k However, as disrespectful as some might find it (and sorry, doing the lame 30-year-old wave at any sporting event is disrespectful), the Brooklyn fans had a reason for their discontent
