That crowd was fucking nuts...even the other stars were like Wow!
These past few months have been awesome...really good time fore to have gotten back into wrestling again.
That crowd rivalized any post WrestleMania crowd... arguably the most loud crowd in a Raw not to be the one after WM.
Hell, they booed the Bellas out of the podium, the cheered AJ Lee, they cheered Bryan, Punk... it was almost like if the IWC was reunited under the same building on the same night.
And yes, there's no better person to put Bryan over permanently than Michaels. Shawn is one of those guys you associate with wrestling right of the get go. The second biggest name out of the semi-active/retired wrestlers WWE has (the other one being Undertaker), IMO.... and one of those guys that know they have their name already and are willing to put younger people over (Jericho, Kane and Undertaker being the other three).
And let's be honest here... Punk & Bryan vs. Shawn & HHH at Wrestlemania would make for one heck of a tag-team match.... and if Punk and Bryan win WWE just gave the IWC their match there.
