As we all know, a wrestling event, even careers themselves, depend on the crowds reactions, how the crowd reacts to the show, the stories and the wrestlers. That's why this past Monday's RAW crowd was an amazing crowd to be in front of.
From the start of the show even carrying over into the dark match apparently, the crowd ate everything up, they even embraced Fandango! Fandango, for crying out loud! I've been watching wrestling for a good 12 years, and it's extremely rare that you see a crowd singing along with a theme music, even if he ended up being kicked around by Jericho.
The crowd is the reason why it was the perfect night for Ziggler to cash in his MITB contract, in fact, it's probably one of the reasons, the pop both when Ziggler came out and when he won were deafening, despite the fact that he is still a heel, which again goes a long way to describing how unpredictable and brilliant that crowd was.
They even threw the announcers a few times, especially the cheer of: "Thank You Big Show" which seemingly confused JBL, Cole and Lawler. In honesty they were probably thanking him for putting and end to the god-awful match we had going between Orton and Sheamus. Another highlight of this crowd was them just randomly dancing in the middle of matches - for no apparent reason.
Then, to end of the show, Ryback's heel turn, they screamed and popped as if it were a face turn. Just goes to show, you can never predict a WWE crowd.

Spot on, Nathan. The crowd was so hot! I spent the entirety of Sheamus's match listening to the chants, I wasn't even watching the match. You make excellent points on Ziggler and Ryback as well.
