AT STAPLES CENTER<br \/>\nLIVE ON WWE NETWORK<br \/>\nREPORT BY JULIE NETCHAEV, PWTORCH CORRESPONDENT<\/h3>\n<p>Just a few thoughts after attending No Mercy last night with my 17 year old son.<\/p>\n<p>As far as attendance goes, from where I was sitting (four rows up from the floor facing the Titantron), the building was packed full.\u00a0 The only empty areas were the ones that are always blocked off for cameras and equipment.<\/p>\n<p>In one funny note. if anyone watching the preshow caught the crowd chanting &#8220;You deserve it,&#8221; it was due to a fan with a sign that said \u201cMy wife left me so I bought $500 WWE tickets.\u201d \u00a0We were seated with the preshow panel a few seats to our left and our section was fairly loud with the chant so, if it was heard, it wasn\u2019t directed toward Kurt Angle for any odd reason, just a fan with possibly the sign of the night.<\/p>\n<p>Not much to report on the preshow match between Elias and Apollo other than the fact that Elias was heavily booed as he ran to the ring and the booing was so loud my son and I couldn\u2019t even understand the words of his song.<\/p>\n<p>During the Miz vs, Jason Jordan match I\u2019m sure it was obvious how badly Jordan was booed. I heard that some people thought the crowd at one point chanted &#8216;This is awesome&#8221; during the match, but where I was at they were actually chanting \u201cMiz is awesome.\u201d \u00a0I heard commentary tried selling it as this Miz being in his hometown, but as someone who has been attending events since Miz was first seen in WWE, I can say with confidence no one has ever cared about him being from California&#8230; ever.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard him booed out of the building many times.\u00a0 Just go back to the Network and see how big the hometown hero was when he hosted Summerslam 2013.\u00a0 Personally, I think after Miz delivered the infamous promo on Daniel Bryan on Talking Smack and through the build to WrestleMania this year, he has gotten more people behind him.\u00a0 Combine that with the fact that so many people were against Jordan and you get the response Miz had last night although you\u2019d never expect to hear that on commentary. The post-match interview did Jordan no favors at, all especially his last statement that Miz really does suck.<\/p>\n<p>As for Finn vs. Bray, the one thing that shocked me most that probably didn\u2019t come across on camera was how behind Balor the crowd was.\u00a0 In our section the floor was quite literally shaking from people stomping their feet and yelling in support for Finn when Bray was on offense.\u00a0 He had a huge pop when he won as well.<\/p>\n<p>My son and I thought the tag team match was match of the night.\u00a0 We had missed what happened to Cesaro until they showed the replay.\u00a0 From our angle we couldn\u2019t see that he hit the top of the LED post with his mouth.\u00a0 We saw him bleeding and he was attended to about three times after first tagging out, but after that he was back to the match.\u00a0 After seeing the replay in slow motion I give him all the credit in the world for getting back in and working as hard as he did.\u00a0 Our section was loud though this whole match and heavily behind Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.\u00a0 Dean was getting the majority of the cheers, but in fairness he spent more time in the ring and nearly pinned so I couldn\u2019t say for sure if he was the more popular of the two. I actually caught video of the near fall with Seth being power bombed onto Dean.\u00a0 When Dean kicked out everyone around us, including me, jumped up and stayed on their feet until the end.\u00a0 I think I lost my voice on that match along with most people around me.<\/p>\n<p>The thing that stuck out most in the women\u2019s match was the crowd reactions as the came out and during ring introductions. Bayley had a mixed response coming out, but when she was introduced was heavily booed.\u00a0 I think that booing was second to Reigns which just made me shake my head compared to her reactions even a few months back.\u00a0 The only person it seemed like the crowd was fully behind was Nia Jax.\u00a0 During the match when Nia was out of the ring at one point my son even looked at me and asked if this crowd going to cheer any of them?<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2092351038\" 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<div class=\"ad-tag\" data-ad-name=\"pw_incontent_2\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/tags-cdn.deployads.com\/a\/pwtorch.com.js\" async ><\/script><br \/>\n<script>(deployads = window.deployads || []).push({});<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Cena vs. Roman, I\u2019m sure, had some sound alteration.\u00a0 Because of all the talk of muting the crowd, I purposely recorded Cena\u2019s entrance and left it going through Roman entering the ring. Now I just need to watch it on the Network to see the difference. The crowd loved Cena to start; any cheers for Roman were drowned out by booing.\u00a0 At one point the crowd started a &#8220;F*** you, Roman!&#8221; chant so I\u2019m sure that was edited or muted.\u00a0 Of course there was also &#8220;You can\u2019t wrestle&#8221; and &#8220;You both suck.&#8221; \u00a0Considering how people cheered Cena at the start mixed with &#8220;Let\u2019s go Cena \/ Roman sucks&#8221; chants, the &#8220;You both suck&#8221; started to get irritating but to each their own.\u00a0 I just think you make a little more sense when you pick a side and stay with it instead of cheering someone one minute and then telling them they suck two minutes later.\u00a0 I had no idea what to expect for the outcome of the match, but I can tell you the crowd and my son were extremely angry when Reigns won. The crowd around us were all yelling &#8220;bullsh&#8211;&#8221; when it ended.\u00a0 I did enjoy the standing ovation Cena got.\u00a0 It was funny, he went and sat back against that ringpost when Roman left.\u00a0 I was there at WrestleMania 21 when he won his first WWE Title and if I remember correctly that was the corner where he jumped out of the ring and went right into the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>All I can say about the Cruiserweight match is that it got a ton of boring chants and considering how unhappy people were with Reigns winning Enzo hitting a low blow and winning did not help matters. In fact, a man two rows up who was standing just bent and put his head on the metal hand rail shaking his head.\u00a0 That earned the second &#8220;bullsh&#8211;&#8221; chant of the night.<\/p>\n<p>I think everyone hoped that the main event would save the night after two finishes that the crowd hated, but no such luck.\u00a0 I saw the time and knew it would be quick but I think everyone expected the Summerslam type destruction and, when they didn\u2019t get it, there was disappointment. There were some incredible moves in the ring like the chokeslam to Brock Lesnar and the suplex landings that echoed through the building, but like many reports I\u2019ve heard, no one liked the fact that it took one F5 to beat Braun Strowman after all that offense he had prior.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it was a fun night but I think the ending of Cena-Reigns deflated the night. My son and I thought the tag match was the best of the night.\u00a0 When we were leaving, people seemed to have enjoyed the show overall, but no one was talking much about the last three matches.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your continued great work.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS OTHER REPORT:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2017\/09\/25\/924-wwe-no-mercy-holt-report-site-report-happened-arena-fans-reacted-security-check\/\">9\/24 WWE No Mercy HOLT Report: On-site report of what happened in the arena, how fans reacted, security check, more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-37001423\"><div id=\"pwtor-1252050915\"><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>NO MERCY PPV HOLT REPORT (Happenings Off Live TV) SEPTEMBER 24, 2017 LOS ANGELES, CALIF.
