We sat hard camera in the very front row (I was the nerdy mark in a Dalton Castle shirt).<\/p>\n<p>Lots of &#8220;Woooo&#8221; chants and dualing &#8220;Let&#8217;s go Cena \/ Cena sucks&#8221; chants before the show started.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the crowd seemed louder and more into this show than previous Denver shows I&#8217;ve attended, although they are only here once or twice a year so it&#8217;s hard to compare exactly. \u00a0I felt like there were fewer chants overall, but more crowd noise than in years prior, so not sure how it came off on TV.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MAIN EVENT TAPING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(1) Heath Slater beat Dash Wilder.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Rich Swann &amp; Lince Dorado vs Noam Darr &amp; Tony Nese.<\/p>\n<p>Not much of a reaction for anybody (I wish that wasn&#8217;t the case), but the matches served their purpose of warming up the crowd.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3059093484\" 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><strong>RAW THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Las Vegas remembrance went over well. \u00a0Very quiet in the arena, which is sadly rare since there are always a few disrespectful people that want to &#8220;woo&#8221; or catcall during moments like that.<\/p>\n<p>Roman Reigns got a 50\/50 mixed reaction, but everybody reacted in some way, so that&#8217;s a lot more than can be said about some of the Cruiserweight guys or lower card guys.<\/p>\n<p>A few backstage segments were a bit hard to hear, but the Elias segment was horrible. We couldn&#8217;t hear one word he was saying on the mic.<\/p>\n<p>I had a sign front row that said &#8220;I DON&#8217;T LIKE TATERS.&#8221; (Inside joke with my fianc\u00e9, I just don&#8217;t like potatoes). A stagehand came over to me and said &#8220;What does your sign say? I&#8217;ve gotta take it, it&#8217;s irritating Vince.&#8221; I guess Vince likes Taters. The crowd around me had a good time over that and gave me plenty of ideas for a sign to bring to Smackdown to show Vince I still hate them. Haha.<\/p>\n<p>The Kalisto reveal went over FLAT. Zero reaction. Which is sad because I&#8217;ve liked the guy ever since his Del Sol indy days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POST-RAW DARK MATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(1) Finn Balor beat Bray Wyatt. Bray got a good pop since he didn&#8217;t actually appear in person on Raw. Balor also got a good pop, despite us seeing him once already. It was a street fight, but the standard by-the-book five minute match match to send the crowd home happy. A few kendo stick shots and a few reversals leading to Bray going through the table, taking the Coup De Grace, and the pin.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3257055841\" 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<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall, a great time, especially seeing the joy on my fianc\u00e9 enjoying her first WWE experience.
