From @GabePride: What's your opinion on the #hijackRAW movement?
I thought it was pretty silly and unnecessary. In case you don't know what it is, this was some online campaign by some Chicago wrestling fans to try to take over Raw by chanting things WWE didn't want, turning their backs to the likes of Triple H and Stephanie and generally trying to be the focus of the show. It didn't really happen. What's interesting is that WWE actually acknowledge the whole #hijackRAW thing in some promos, so they were definitely aware of it. I don't think they were worried about it. They are great at crowd manipulation as Paul Heyman pissed them off from the beginning of the show and later on, Triple H and Stephanie did a great job as well. From WWE's point of view, they probably don't care what the fans might threaten to do. They paid their money. They are in WWE's building. If they get unruly they can throw people out. If they chant the wrong things they can turn down the volume on the ground. We know the announcers can ignore things easily. It's okay for fans to boo or cheer who they want, but to try to take over a show or bring attention onto yourself is just silly.
