Updated Quick Quips: WWE Raw 6.11.12 (With Photos & Video)

Coming to you live from Hartford, CT tonight for my Raw review. Let’s hope it’s a damn good show!

- Yes chants are far out weighing the No chants.

- Tons of Woooos, even without Flair on WWE TV for years.

- Typical WrestleMania package opens the show.

- HUGE pop for HHH on the video screen.

- Steel Cage hanging over the ring.


- Big pops for Drew McIntyre & A-Ry in the dark match.

- Pretty weak effort from both Riley & Drew.

- “Road Warrior” pop for Zack Ryder. Wow.

- Ryder vs Hennig opens Superstars.

- Close to a sellout except for the upper deck behind hard camera tarped off.

- Ryder pins Hennig in a good match.

- Usos vs Primetime Players next.

 

- Slow match but Usos definitely over with the crowd.

- PTP botched their finish & had to do it over. No reaction from the crowd whatsoever.

- Commercial for No Holds Barred popped the older fans.

- Split crowd for the Cena chants. “Yes” chants still winning out.

- Johnny really over as a heel for the live audience.

- Holy crap that was a pop for Vince.

- REALLY hot crowd tonight. Can’t even hear most of this promo.

- Matching Sheamus against Tensai showed just how big and cut Sheamus really is.

- Absolutely no one here cares about Tensai.

- Four way elimination match went over really well here. Except for Khali of course.

- Tensai & his minion are in the ring throughout the commercials

- Almost complete silence for the Tensai segment. People were completely uninterested.

- Ricardo wrestling in his tux is fantastic.

- Santino and Richardo have surprisingly fantastic chemistry.

- No mention of Truth’s broken foot, even among the most hardcore fans here.

- HUGE (babyface) reaction for Daniel Bryan on the Tron. It really has been non-stop tonight w/the Yes chants.

- On a side note, covered in glitter thanks to a stalker type fan of Beth Phoenix & his very feminine sign.

- Yes chants followed by What chants? God I hope Bryan & Steve Austin are never in the ring together.

- Fantastic “second base” line from Bryan.

- Once you go Bryan, you never go tryin’!

- Gotta love the Goatface.

- CM Punk can make this crowd chant anything.

- AJ is playing the psycho little fan girl perfectly.

- So far this has been a pretty stacked show but all the matches have been announced during the show. Here’s hoping people turned in or the rating will not reflect the show.

- Nice applause from the crowd after the John Cena Make A Wish Video package.

- Surprising little response for Christian & none for Khali. Looks like Ziggler has the biggest following in this match.

- Has Khali ever lasted past the first person in an elimination match?

- Great triple threat match once Khali was out. Saw Ziggler getting this match maybe next month but No Way Out is just as great.

- Damn Ryback is impressive.

- Way to “be a star” Vince.

- I’m thinking we see Kofi come off the top cage tonight.

- Pretty lackluster reaction for Big Show.

- Weeeelllllll that was boring.

- The only interesting thing about that match was Hawkins’ glow in the dark pants.

- Just a full storyline match but a fun one. Loved AJ sitting like Punk in the ring after the victory.

- Ziggler is even getting pops during the Smackdown commercial.

- While people did get on their feet for Cena’s entrance, it was by far not the loudest. Maybe it’s just a tired crowd, we have been watching 4 hours of wrestling.

- Isn’t this the same promo Cena cut on The Rock & Brock Lesnar?

- Don’t know how it translated on TV but live it didn’t look like Big Show connected at all.

- After the show ended, trainers revived Vince who sold the punch like he could stand or walk on his own.

- For the dark match, John Cena took on the Big Show, John Laurinitis & David Otunga with Big Show accidentally knocking out Otunga & Cena picking up the win. Cena rounded out the night by AAing Laurinitis & spending some time ringside with the fans.

- People just filed out once the dark match was announced. Not a good sign for the No Way Out buyrate.

- No advertised WWE title match between Daniel Bryan & CM Punk.
