WWE Raw onsite report: The live crowd's reaction to Mick Foley, Chris Jericho, Brodus Clay, Zack Ryder, Air Boom, John Laurinaitis, and Perez Hilton
Jan 17, 2012 - 11:00 AM


Dot Net reader Michael Huntley attended Monday's WWE Raw show in Anaheim, California and sent the following report.

I was sitting at the very top in section 435, which is directly across from the TV camera. The top across from us was tarped off, but other than that a pretty full house. 

Mick Foley got a good reaction and got the cheap pop when he mentioned Anaheim. Vicki and Dolph came out to very loud boos. I could barely hear her at first it was so loud. The crowd laughed at some of Ziggler's jabs at Foley. Huge pop for CM Punk. More very loud boos when John Laurinaitis came out. I could barely hear what he said until the boos drowned away.

Air Boom got a little pop. A guy behind me had no idea why they didn't have the titles. Epico and Primo came out to a couple boos but a lot of catcalls and some cheers when Rosa was shaking her hips. A good match but very short. I was surprised at how little the fans reacted to Air Boom.

There was a huge pop when Jericho appeared on the screen. 

No reaction for Jack Swagger and a pretty big pop for Zack Ryder and Eve. A boring match live in that it was a total squash. My brother pointed out that Mark Henry got to keep his title because he wasn't cleared.

Lots of boos for Perez Hilton, but the two annoying 16 year old girls in front of me popped big. Lots of groans and eye rolling for this Diva segment. None got any reaction.

R-Truth came out to a decent pop. The crowd laughed and cheered a lot for the Disney pictures. Sheamus is very over. The crowd went nuts for his run-in. Good match. Miz didn't sell the Brogue Kick that well considering that right when the commercial started he pretty much got right up and walked off with little assistance. 

Between the boos for John Lauranitus and John Cena, I could not hear a word that was said during the backstage segment.

John Cena came out to the usual half and half crowd. Very loud. The crowd popped for him beating up Swagger. Kane fireworks scared the crap out of me and most of my section. 

From where I was sitting, it sounded like a big pop for Brodus Clay. Most of my section was dancing and singing along to the theme song. He is a very big guy in person and made JTG look tiny.

Daniel Bryan got a lot of boos especially during his jabs at the Big Show. 

Chris Jericho got a huge reaction. His entrance is very cool in person. He was posing with fans and giving high fives during all the heel entrances. 

The crowd was bored for a lot of the main event, but I don't know how much of it was a commercial. Jericho got a huge reaction when he tagged in and some boos when he walked out not doing anything. My 59 year old dad was pissed.

Mr. Socko might have gotten the loudest pop of the night. The crowd went nuts when Foley pulled the sock on Otunga. Lots of boos for Laurinaitis. The crowd cheered a lot when CM Punk went on his rant. Laurinaitis got a ton of heat when he hit Foley with the mic. 

John Cena beat Kane in the dark match and mingled with the fans afterward.

Notes: Overall, a great show. This was my first show in Anaheim in a few years. I usually go to San Diego because it is a smaller arena and cheaper seats. The Honda Center is really great and I recommend going to WWE events there.

Biggest Pops:
CM Punk
Mick Foley
Sheamus
Brodus Clay

Most Heat:
Vicki Guerrero
John Lauranitis
Daniel Bryan
Perez Hilton
