Live Coverage, Reviews, Shows, Top Story, TV Shows

– Keep an eye out tonight!

– Yup we’re in the house!

– Zack Ryder out taking pics & signing autographs before Raw

– John Cena Sr., John Cena’s father is out taking pictures w/fans.

– Daniel Bryan, John Cena & CM Punk merch dominating the fans.

– Looks like Dolph Ziggler came out to replace Ryder, sign autographs & taking pics.

– WWE just hung an upside down WWE symbol above the ring. Hmmm…

– Our seats at Raw.

– WWE selling “Yes” & “No” shirts.

– No Ziggler pink shirts… only Cena.

– Ric Flair “Whoooo” chant was just drowned out by “Yes” chants.

– DiBiase vs JTG in first Superstars match. No dark match.

– DiBiase pins JTG clean. Pretty good reaction for DiBiase.

– McIntyre vs Mahal with Drew playing babyface to a nice babyface pop too.

– McIntyre wins cleanly with his DDT to a HUGE pop & high fiving fans! When did he become a face?

– Boos but applause for Michael Cole who is wearing a Jerry Lawler tribute shirt they’re selling in the arena.

– Looks like we already got on Raw. Kudos to my wife Colleen for slaving over it today.

– Paul Heyman “chasing” AJ was priceless.

– Really good response for JBL & a HUGE pop for JR. I can’t hear them but I’m sure it’s awesome.

– Surprisingly good reaction & match for Sin Cara. Thank God for Rey Mysterio.

– My wife just marked out for “Team Friendship”! I love her!

– Annnd now I know why there is an upside down WWE logo hanging above the ring. Next to the disco ball.

– The 12 year old boy in front of me just starting balling his eyes out because Eve came out as Divas Champ. I’m being completely serious.

– Brodus Clay up next.

– MIZTV!

– Another pretty strong babyface reaction for The Miz. That is until Booker T came out.

– So that was a front fan who caught the mic from Ryback. Ooops…

– NUCULAR heat for Vickie, followed by a HUGE pop for Ziggler. People are booing Santino to cheer Ziggler.

– That Ziggler/Santino match seemed completely pointless & boring to the live audience.

– Pretty big “We Want Nexus”. Now that’s random. Guessing that confused the suits.

– Really psyced to see this new Wade Barrett. Pretty pissed now his t-shirt isn’t for sale here.

– That match REALLY did not go over well live. Hopefully commentary complemented it.

– Ha that Ryback bit actually got a huge laugh from the crowd.

– TONS of “Team Friendship” signs! How is that not their official name?!

– Seeing the “Yes” chants on TV is always fun but witnessing a full arena doing it is absolutely amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it.

– Kane got a bigger pop for his chokeslam attempt than Kofi did setting up his finisher.

– First time I’ve witnessed a “Hug It Out” chant.

– Tensai matches have become the new bathroom break matches. People seriously filed out.

– As much as I hate it, Damien Sandow just encourages the “What?!” chants so easily.

– I will say this, Damien Sandow has a damn set of pipes on him! You can hear everything he’s saying in the ring.

– That match was actually more entertaining than Orton/Tensai.

– WM 29 promo but still no on sale date for tickets.

– Crew just changed the canvas just for the main event. Odd.

– I don’t know if WWE went to commercial but CM Punk held the title in the air the entire time. Didn’t waiver once.

– I know it can’t happen right now but damn Sheamus vs CM Punk would be a fun feud.

– People in the crowd didn’t really seem to understand the finish. They were just happy John Cena was happy.

– WWE setting up a steel cage. John Cena vs CM Punk for the belt. Surprised its happening w/his ankle.

– Dark match – Cena vs Punk cage match for the WWE title.

– Dark match ends when Del Rio, Ziggler, Sheamus & Orton run in & CM Punk sneeks out the door.

– Funny moment when Punk escaped, he kicked up from the ground at Cena’s dad who was in the front row.

Really, a good show. Here’s a gallery of all of our photos!
