WWE was sold out tonight in Brussels for the very first episode ever of Monday Night

0:07.4

Raw in Belgium and they had a very loud crowd. Only about 8,000 people. It wasn't 20,000,

0:14.2

it wasn't 50,000, but there were enough people in there. It was loud enough. And they got to

0:19.8

bear witness to, it's almost tantamount to Bigfoot.

0:23.9

It's something that I personally never thought that we would see.

The presentation and the substance of his promo.

1:23.5

Heel John Sina, in my opinion, needed to be as far removed from the John Sina that we have

1:29.8

grown accustomed to seeing for all these years. And that includes his wardrobe. That includes

1:35.0

his music, not just the attitude, but everything about him. I was wondering if we might see

1:40.3

something completely different from what we are accustomed to seeing.

1:45.5

What we got tonight was actually none of that, but what we got tonight was John Cena's

1:52.0

you people promo. It's basically a right of passage in wrestling when you turn heel, that you

1:57.9

have to cut the you people promo. You people did this to me. You people
