8 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 3)

DOWNS…

4. Just A *Bit* Harsh

Fan passion is an important part of being successful in WWE. If you can get fans to boo or cheer you, half the work is done. (The other half is doing the right thing with that passion, but that’s another story.)

However, the Raw after WrestleMania crowd might have taken things a little too far in their verbal onslaught against Roman Reigns Monday night. Fans started by chanting, “Delete” at Reigns, but then segued to, “F*** you, Roman,” “A**hole” and “Shut the f*** up” at him.

Twenty years ago, those kinds of chants might have worked pretty well in the midst of the Attitude Era, but maybe age has tempered this writer. It was a bit much from the crowd, though you can’t entirely hold it against them, because they did add something to a lot of the rest of the show.

So, consider this a mild “down” here, for the parents out there who let their 10-year-olds watch Monday night.
