spman 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 I have no clue how it came out on TV, but this was a pretty underwhelming show live. First off the upper deck on the non-camera side was taped off, and there qere quite a few empty seats on the lower sections of the same side. I'd estiamte the crowd to be under 5000. Despite reports from other live shows showing the opposite, Eugene really wasn't that over with the crowd. Flair easily got a much loder pop for the stuff he did then Eugene. Orton vs Edge was not a match well suited for a live crowd. I'm sure it looked tremendous on television, but it was just too long and too slow at times, which probobly accounts for why the crowd got bored and started cheering for Orton. I can't help but feel bad for the women, they certainly try their hardest, vut they get stuck out there in dead spots on the card with little or no buildup, and the crowd just doesn't care. The general concensus fromt he crowd seemed that the storyline in the main event about who Eugene was going to hit with the chair was more lame then anything. and it really took away from the intensity of the match. Benoit got a huge pop, probobly second only to Flair. After the show, Flair and Batista ran out to help Triple H, whog ot a standing ovation, to his feet. They carried him out, and that was it. Overall, it was definitly more of a Television show then a Live event, if you get what I'm saying. I give it a C+ Biggest Pops: 1. Flair 2. Benoit 3. Eugene 4. Jericho 5. Edge Biggest Heat 1. Orton 2. Triple H 3. Jonathan Coachman (I'm serious!) 4. Batista 5. Kane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 I was at Vengeance too- I thought it was a really fun show. Eugene was way over where I was- and HHH, Orton and Benoit all got big pops. My chants of 'Kick her in the stomach' and 'A-bor-tion' did not catch on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
