Every notice that when guys like the Hart Dynasty wrestle on Raw their matches get no reaction, but when they are on ECW they get quite the reaction? Same with guys like Dreamer, Christian.
lol is it brand loyalty?

Probbaly just because Raw has the worst fucking crowd usually/booking to.
Because they are unaware of their existence.
They need to be showcased on ppvs. How do you think guys like Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, John Cena and Batista got over the WWE fan base?

but it's not like people don't know guys like Christian and Dreamer. They get huge pops on ECW. Last night they could have been Iron Mike Sharpe and S.D Jones to the Raw audience.
I blame McMahon's segment for this.

ECW and Smackdown don't matter. Even the marks know it.
On the other hand, it's kind of amusing. Like, watching wrestling at a golf course, with golf-style PBP.
KK I beg to differ. Do you have any idea how many times Smackdown has main evented ppvs this year?
#1. Royal Rumble- WWE Champion Jeff Hardy versus Edge.
#2. Wrestlemania- WWE Champion Triple-H versus Randy Orton.
#3. Backlash- (Last Man Standing Match) World Heavyweight Champion John Cena versus Edge .
#4. Judgement Day- World Heavyweight Champion Edge versus Jeff Hardy.
#5. Extreme Rules- (Ladder Match) World Heavyweight Champion Edge versus Jeff Hardy.

Yeah smackdown doesn't matter, that's why the ladder match main evented extreme rules, huh.

yes, but the same guys who get cheered/booed on Smackdown/ECW don't even get a reaction when they are on Raw. And it's not new guys like the Hart Dynasty. It's established wrestlers too.

Raw fans are just odd,is all I can say. They prefer hornswoggle/goldust.

Smackdown does matter... ecw doesn't. Hardy, Punk and Edge all got huge reactions.

Speaking of The Hart Dynasty... I never watch ECW and so was unaware of their entrance theme (with Bret Hart's opening riff).
So there I was watching RAW, while kind of not paying attention and playing on my computer. Then all of a sudden I hear the beginning of Bret's theme and my head snaps up and I begin to mark out, but then it was only the Hart Dynasty.

ONLY the Hart Dynasty? Probably the best thing on ECW......besides Zack Ryder of course. YOU KNOW IT!

Wouldn't be surprised if they're still editing in crowd reactions to the taped shows, to be honest.
It's probably because, at the end of day, way more people watch Raw over ECW.

Majority of the crowd was behind Swagger in his Champion versus Champion match against John Cena.

#1. The Royal Rumble Match headlined the Royal Rumble (but Hardy v Edge was the last title match)
#2. Wasn't Orton on Raw? Didn't most of that storyline take place on Raw?
#3. Again, didn't most of this story take place on Raw? Wasn't Cena a Raw guy?

I'm sure Curt Hawkins would get the same support against Cena depending on the crowd.

I totally agree there. I was just talking about the Smackdown participation in the ppv main events. That includes the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match from No Way Out.

I dunno, when I went to Smackdown, the reactions sounded the same on TV as they did at the arena. I was pleasantly surprised by that.
