Fastlane Fast Lane crowd

[Aids Johnson]

What outside of the Main Event was worth getting excited over? The entire Fastlane PPV was mailed in except for HHH/Sting and DB/RR. I guess you can say it was weird they didn't care more about Sting, especially being in the home of TNA + old WCW territory... but other than that, would YOU have popped for any of that other trash? I wouldn't.

Bray as taker.

Sting could have been to the ring on underwear and without facepaint, a minor pop is to be expected, specially when with the mere mention of a face to face with sting would get the crowd excited on raw. I don't like sting at all, but this lack of reaction was pretty different from what we get on raw.

Made me wonder just how big of an audience there is for this feud, seems like the only "demographic" worth targeting is the "people who stopped watching after the AE" which... may be a bigger crowd than the ones who still watch

The crowd was pretty small and crap compared to usual crowds and only really did anything in the first match (and didn't even pop big for Orton and Sting) and the main event, but I could still hear the guy in blue yelling "Booo!" to Reigns, that was hilarious.

Listening to the Stone Cold podcast, the issue came up. Apparently a lot of people who 'were there' [citation needed] say that the building has famously shite acoustics, but that seems like BS. You could hear 'em for Cena, and the occasional folks shouting 'Boooooring' during Goldust/Stardust rang out clear as a bell.

Podcast mentioned something else - you can normally tell the temperature of the crowd, even with the sound on mute, from heir body language and it's true, the crowd looked a little disengaged. Not saying I blame them tbh, most of the card was like something you'd see on RAW most weeks, but Sting getting a weak pop was little eye-opening.

The guy in blue looked like some sort of wigger/virgin/typical DB fan. I wanted to punch him within 3 seconds of the ME starting.

I love how Sting is the bench mark. He is a 60 year old whose heyday was 15+ years ago. He barely appears in WWE, has a lame entrance by his standards, doesn't really talk, looks like your grandpa in face paint... but yea, shame on everyone for not losing their shit that he is around.

I found him hilarious for some reason, even though I don't normally like it when that happens - mainly because of the shit crowd failing to overcome him. They need lessons from Cena.

Reigns should have punked him out after the match. The guy probably marked for Reigns 2 years ago now acts like he "can't wrestle". I bet he smells like mayonnaise.

LOL. IMO, Reigns is fine but he was awesome in The Shield when he had Rollins/Ambrose with him but honestly, I prefer the other two as solo competitors mainly because I feel as if they've had more character development (even if they give Ambrose the stupid DQ finishes because he's unstable and waaaacky) and better singles matches. But now there's loads of wrestlers who deserve the big push over Reigns, like Bryan, Ziggler and Ambrose. It feels as if they brought back Bryan just to boost PPV sales and give Reigns a good match at Fast Lane, put Ziggler into the Survivor Series push and then threw him aside and then thought Ambrose can just be in the IC title hunt without putting his epic promos on TV.
