Jericho by a mile
Any particular reason?

I'd say due to his excellent mic work and charisma
If you ever went to a WWE show in Canada you would notice that half the crowd has Y2J memorbillia

I always noticed the fans were into the product more, which makes the shows better. But tonight it finally hit me.... it's not the product, it's the fans (hence my new thread). GOD BLESS CANADA!

Hasan really got that big of heat? eh? I bet it's only because he interrupted Jericho

Man, just watched Kane killing Trish and I must say... Trish has better mic skills than 75% of the roster.

^ yes she does. She is BY far the best Women talent they have ever had :y:
Splaya, I didn't lead the Wave but I did take part in it, that was hilarious. Some funny chants included "Lets go Chris" (when Benoit and Jericho wrestled) and "Who are you?" to some jobber Indian guy on heat.
One guy had a sign in the front row that said "HHH Fears Divorce" LMAO. Security came and took it away like 5 mins later :mad: They actually took away quite a few signs, those bastards. Lots of the crowd cheered Hassan like crazy at first but then we started booing him after he made fun of Canada. Christian had a huge pop, as well as Batista and HHH. Orton was getting lots of boos, although the teenage girls cheering him probably balanced it out. Trish looked hot as hell :drool:
Overall it was an okay show I guess, but the crowd in Toronto always makes it fun and I will continue to go every time :D

Hey during the la res match, or the highlight reel, I forget, but anyone see the Steph fears Heyman sign? :lol:

Jericho by a mile
:wtf:
I would say both are amazingly over, almost equally so. No way is it Jericho by a mile.

I loved that "HHH fears divorce" poster. I figured they would take it away. :( And the wave was cool. :D
But overall I would say Raw was decent.

That same guy then had a "Security took my sign" sign.

I had a pretty good time. Should have seen Kanes head after the chokeslam spot...pretty bloody. The "secret match" was pretty fun as well. It was fun doing the wave as well.

To be honest, I do agree with this.
During the Benoit/Jericho match, the fans CLEARLY did not want to side with one or the other.
However - Jericho got a MUCH bigger face pop when his music hit (both times). Surprisingly, Benoit's reaction wasn't all that big (atleast that's how it came across on TV).

Benoit is more over than Jericho in Edmonton (because he's the hometown hero)
But as far as everywhere else in Canada is concerned, Jericho is WAY more over. Just look at the crowd? the Y2J chants out number the BENOIT chants

They were both getting some decent pops.
And the fans were even chanting "Let's go Chris" for awhile.

I don't see all the fuss about being chokeslammed through a bunch of tables like that. It wasn't exactly high, and I bet it was a pretty soft landing. I bet half the guys in the arena could have done that... :-\
