I don't know whether it's the type of crowds WWE are now attracting or if they're just indifferent/bored out of their mind but they need waking up because it's killing the shows.
People cheer a lot on Smackdown.
Peopl are cheering less on raw because the writing is awful and people aren't even sure who they are meant to cheer for because the heels and faces are so interchangeable.
People cheer less on 205 because the wrestlers aren't well known by the casual crowd and it's filmed after the Smackdown Main Event.
I don't remember the last time I heard proper boos like this on Raw:

All of their heels are either just heels because they're foreign, or heels because they cheat in matches, which really isn't enough to hate someone, especially if they are entertaining like KO and Chris.
