Inspired by the recent ECW Fans thread, it dawned on me that the old ECW fans used to spew some hateful venom to to the talent. Of course, being as thin-skinned as I am, I found nearly, if not all, the chants offensive with, "You fat f***!" the most hurtful of them all.
What chants were you truly most offended by?

The only time I was ever actually offended was whenever "YOU F***** UP!" was chanted at someone that just injured themselves.
Otherwise, I was fine with them all.

I wasn't personally offended by it, but I can see how the "Hiroshima" chant ECW fans directed at Tajiri can be tasteless and offensive.

This might sound mushy, but I didn't like the "You f***ed Up" chants, just because it gives the impression that the fans are better than the wrestlers, who are trying to give those fans a show

I love the "You f***ed Up" chant, if its a funny botch...like, for instance, (I know this isn't ECW, just an example) I've seen several clips on youtube in Jushin Lyger matches, Lyger's opponent will try a springboard and slip and fall off the rope, and Lyger claps for the guy and points at him and laughs.
That's funny as hell....but if someone gets hurt, its tasteless.

"Where's my sushi!" "WHERE's MY PIZZA!" "WHere's my Burrito!"...
"BIG SAL ATE IT!"
Well they just offended 4 groups.
The Cane Dewey chant was pretty tasteless though.

I love the "You smurfed Up" chant, if its a funny botch...like, for instance, (I know this isn't ECW, just an example) I've seen several clips on youtube in Jushin Lyger matches, Lyger's opponent will try a springboard and slip and fall off the rope, and Lyger claps for the guy and points at him and laughs. That's funny as hell....but if someone gets hurt, its tasteless. Oh exactly. Like, I have no problem with hearing You F'd up if it's just a simple botch where you know no one was hurt. Hell, I've seen wrestlers take bows before after screwing up a move, and just going on with the match.

I only thought it was a sign. (Cane Dewey) Of course, you know if Dewey Foley ever becomes a wrestler and he is a heel, that whole crowd will chant "Cane Dewey."

It didn't offend me, per se, but whenever I heard "You suck $%#@," it was like, surely you can come up with someone more creative than that.

Geez, not a single one. I'd be there screaming "you fat smurf" and "she's a crackwhore" with the best of 'em til my throat bled if I have the honour to live in Philly.

Generally, if you're gonna watch old ECW, you should know that you have to check all sense of taste and decency at the door.
On the night Bam Bam took the title from Shane Douglas in Queens, the crowd gave Rick Rude a "You smurfed Chyna" chant, which I thought was funny as hell.
There was a particularly nasty one during the Triple Threat's opening promo at Cyber Slam 98, one inferring Francine would perform sexual favours for drugs. If you happen to watch the video, you'll notice two guys down the front who, when Shane Douglas insults an audience member, basically acts as conductors as if they were in a choir

I hate the "you smurfed up" chants unless it's something universally comical to both the wrestlers and the fans. Otherwise, it's just annoying.
EDIT: Also, I remember a couple of little kids screaming for Mick Foley to set Ric Flair on fire (!) during their I Quit match at SummerSlam. Seriously, these kids were no older than ten. Yeah, commit homicide for my personal enjoyment. The f***?

I've never been outright offended by an ECW crowd chant, though I find the "You f***ed up!" chants tasteless unless it was used for a minor, somewhat funny botch.

None. Chants are just fans having fun with the show. Fans that aren't enjoying themselves don't come back and feds where fans don't come back don't stay in business very long.
