Quick Quips: LIVE From WWE Raw 9.18.12

- 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:
