I heard a lot of conversation from the ring over the speakers&#8230;\u00a0Saxton may not be strong on commentary, but he is very serviceable at house shows&#8230;\u00a0Based on the few chants from the crowd, there were very few bellwether fans in attendance. However, the crowd was rather flat for most of the show&#8230;\u00a0Having been to several NXT house shows in Central Florida in recent months, I&#8217;ve noticed most of the talent&#8217;s interactions with (ringside) fans are very similar to NXT&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS RECENT\u00a0WWE LIVE EVENT REPORT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2017\/01\/03\/1228-wwe-nashville-tenn-wyatts-joke-around-crowd-get-cheered-miz-ziggler-ic-title-bloody-cage-match\/\">12\/28 WWE in Nashville, Tenn.: Wyatts joke around with crowd and get cheered, Miz and Ziggler for IC Title in bloody cage match<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong>Please send any news tips and results to: pwtorch@gmail.com.<\/strong>\u00a0For instance, let us know if you hear a pro wrestling reference on a popular talk show, see a pro wrestling related Tweet or Instagram from celebrity, hear an ad for matches advertised for an upcoming WWE event, or anything else pro wrestling related that\u2019d be of interest to our readers.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you attend a live event, please send results.<\/strong>\u00a0We don\u2019t set up correspondents ahead of time and count on readers like you to send an email with a report on live events you attend \u2013 not just WWE, but also ROH, NXT, international groups. and anything else.<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3024520907\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-506854090\"><div id=\"pwtor-2500709070\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE LIVE EVENT REPORT &#8211; RAW BRAND JANUARY 8, 2017 MOBILE, ALA.
