"Say what if you like to sleep with your own sister!"
"WHA....huh?"

That whole segment was dead on arrival. Taker seemed off from the moment he got in the ring. The WHATs didn't do him any favors as Taker seemed shaken by them and continued to degrade, but they're hardly at fault for that mess.

"I tell you what, why don't you say 'what' if you like to sleep with your own sister."
"WHA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

"Say what if you like to sleep with your own sister!" "WHA....huh?" I always thought this comeback was pretty lame and grade school-ish, especially for a big badass character like the Undertaker.

It was extremely disrespectful and Taker did look taken aback by it. I'm not even a massive Undertaker fan but you can't do that to him.

Taker looked good and royally pissed about the 'what!' chants. I mean, My God, regardless how you feel about Taker as a wrestler now, does he not deserve some level of respect? I wanted him to go off and the crowd and you could tell he BADLY wanted to, but, at the end of the day, Minnie may have cost themselves another big card and Taker can sleep fine at night.

I'm not an Undertaker fan at all, but I was definitely disappointed with the crowd pulling "WHAT?" chants on him.
I hate that chant at all times, but this especially felt disrespectful.

Taker's promo was pretty dull and nonsensical. Something something armageddon...

The smarky jackass who just happened to be near a mic...ugh. "You Suck!" "Retire!" "Over-Rated!"
I think I heard the same dude say a bit of crap about Triple H too.
That's okay. You can boo and cheer who you want but I know I'd hate being "wrestling buddies" (for lack of a better term) what that dude. Seems like the kinda guy I try to avoid on forums like these...and why I never wanted to be in the crowd of an ROH show back in it's early days.

I thought this was to set up Taker's TRUE match at mania, against the One-Man Rock Band.
"Trust me...I know what it's like when one really loud ass says he hates you. EMBRACE THE JACKASS UNDERTAKER!"

It was hard watching the crowd crap all over a legend like that. I felt ashamed to be a wrestling fan.

It pissed me off the entire time. Taker doesn't deserve that let alone coming back with a new look after all of that. I swear, I wish that "what" chant never existed.

He's the Undertaker. He's the guy who has endured more physical therapy than 99% of people in human history thanks to injuries sustained putting on the best show possible during what is easily the longest sustained main event run in professional wrestling.
A little bit of respect is probably the least to ask from fans in attendance during his first live promo in 11 months.

Austin needs to come out and tell or tweet to his fans that that was disrespectful and it's time to let that old joke die out
you rarely hear people chant wooo anymore when someone gets chopped, but they still chant WHAT? - a fad of what like a year or two during the 'Ruthless Aggression' era? lame and uncool to be happening during an improving time in wrestling. Punk's gloriously dropping 'Pipe Bombs' and we still got crowds who think it's 2003. c'mon! Act like you've been to a wrestling show in the last 9 years and know what's going on, please...

"What" chants weren't funny in 2001 and they're still not funny now.
"What" chants should've left when Stone Cold left.

While they're usually annoying, tonight I hated the What? chants so much more than usual.
I wanted Steve Austin himself to come out and cut a promo on the disrespectful idiots using his catchphrase to insult one of the greatest legends in the history of wrestling. That crowd must have been full of idiotic fratboys or something. To hell with all of them who were "what?-ing" him. And yes, I'm a huge Taker fan.
The next time they're in Minneapolis, WWE should give them the "Canada" treatment and make the fans there into heels (only in this case, deservedly so!).
There are some things that as a wrestling fan you just don't do, and disrespecting a legend on the level of Taker is one of them.

I was reading on another forum that Minneapolis is Brock Lesnar's home town and that Taker still has some beef with him so maybe that had something to do with it?

That's a little much of a stretch there. I just think it was a matter of a few asshats with seats close enough to the audience microphones to get picked up.

That crowd was absolute crap. Could've been a nice WM buildup promo and the crowd pissed on it. I hope that craphole never gets a live TV event again.
