I will focus on what may not have been as obvious on television.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022The biggest reactions of the night was for Chris Jericho and Undertaker. They were clearly the biggest\u00a0stars in the eyes of my fellow Brooklynites. Secondary big reactions came for Jack Gallagher \u00a0in the main event taping and Samoa Joe. People didn\u2019t seem to care about Seth Rollins when Triple H talked about him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022The pop for Austin Aries ended up messed up because they hadn\u2019t even set up the ring when he came out and so there were 40 people setting up in the ring as he was trying to come out.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022People really crapped all over the Bayley\u00a0vs. Nia Jax match, including WWE. At one point Paul Heymen walked across the area floor towards the back \u2013 and everyone shouted &#8220;asshole&#8221; \u2013 at least that is what people in my section said was who it was \u2013 and it\u00a0did look like him. They then started a wave. And after the wave ended \u2013 changed \u201cWe are awesome.\u201d On TV you couldn\u2019t tell who people were shouting asshole about or why the crowded chanted \u201cWe are awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022So little wrestling occurred considering how long we were there.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022I don\u2019t believe for a minute that New Day were in the building. That came across as a canned segment and they never came out at all. I see in the write-ups people call that a \u201cbackstage segment.\u201d But I didn\u2019t see any evidence that that was done in Barclay Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022After the live Raw went off the air, they had Brock and Heyman come out to a huge reaction. Heyman challenged\u00a0anyone to come out and face Brock and Big Show came out. It was a squash match and they did a gimmick at the end that they couldn\u2019t get Big Show to get up until one of the refs covered him and they counted to two and he kicked out. Another fan told me before this happened that\u00a0this is what they had done in the past \u2013 and sure enough it happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022The crowd reacted the way WWE has it booked in almost every case. Baby faces were cheered and heels were booed. The main exception was Roman Reigns who was heavily booed. People also booed Undertaker slamming Braun Stowman. But mostly it is not a contrary crowd that just always cheers heels and boos faces. They mostly did not \u2013 except this strange outlier.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1307477662\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u2022The show is way too long.
