Oh. My. Goodness.
We had attended a live event last year, non-televised, and it was fun.
But with Raw... they turn the dial to 11.
I don't know how well the crowd did on live television, I have to watch a replay, but it seemed like we were into about 85% of it...catching our breath when we could. It's hard to sustain that energy level for 3 1/2 hours as the voice goes out quick.
Okay, having watched it, and let's just put it this way:
The Raw microphones don't pick up nearly half the sound that the audience makes. I suppose that's fair, as you really don't hear much of the action from the ring except for really loud moves, which is really weird compared to watching it at home.
Plus, the show goes on during commercials, and when people come out... say Rhodes & Sandow during commercial, we boooooo like crazy. However, that doesn't make the show.
For example, Jericho came out, and welcomed us to "Charleston is Jericho". We're screaming like crazy, and then he works the arena getting each section to cheer. By the time we come back to Raw, or make it to the third hour... our voices are shot...it's exhausting.
But fun!
If you enjoy what the WWE does, I highly recommend going to a Raw taping if you ever get the chance.
It's great entertainment, and Vince McMahon puts on an amazing show!
