How long until that gets as annoying as the What chants?

Im already getting sick of it. I feel pretty bad for guys trying to put on a good match while people keep chanting "JBL! JBL! JERRY JERRY! ect ect..". It was fun the first time but its become a pretty annoying thing, for me anyway.

Is this going to be another thread where we get pissed at people enjoying themselves?

They should focus on making the show more exciting or varying to get them to stop. Or find some kind of insult a la Undertaker's epic "say what if you sleep with your sister"

It typically entertains me, because nine times out of ten they're dumping on something that's currently boring me to tears. I'm not saying the crowd can never be annoying ("WHAT?" chants during serious an/or interesting promos, "you can't wrestle" chants at John Cena), but I get great joy out of hearing them chant for the commentators and Randy Savage during matches like Miz vs. Curtis Axel.

Have the fans ever chanted for Mr. Perfect during a Curtis Axel match?

Have the fans ever chanted for Mr. Perfect during a Curtis Axel match? I can't recall. I know they kept chanting "Perfect Plex" when he last wrestled in Minneapolis a few months back. |

Have the fans ever chanted for Mr. Perfect during a Curtis Axel match? I would. In hopes that it would invoke his spirit and fill his son with his personality and talent. |

I can see how it is annoying to some, but at the same time it's up to the wrestlers in the ring to do something to interest the fans, i.e. some sort of big spot, a comedy spot, or something to involve the crowd in what's happening. I think that a lot of guys lay the match out beforehand and just stick with it no matter what happens and don't improvise a little on the fly to ward off fan boredom once it sets in.

It doesn't bother me at all. I like hearing the announcers' awkward explanations of the chants.

It's pretty annoying to me most of the time, and I also dislike the high and mighty people who are like "WHAT, YOU HATE FUN? YOU DON'T LIKE HEARING THE FUN CHANTS WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO WATCH A MATCH? WHAT A LOSER, WHAT A FUN-HATING LOSER."

I just usually feel bad for the performers in the ring more then anything. Well, that and I resent the fact that people still like King enough to chant for him randomly.

I think that a lot of guys lay the match out beforehand and just stick with it no matter what happens and don't improvise a little on the fly to ward off fan boredom once it sets in. That's exactly why I think John Cena is one of the most ridiculously underrated performers in WWE history. Many people judge him it seems 50% on his technical wrestling abilities, and 50% on his brand of humor. You don't often see him get credit for the fact that he can adapt to any crowd situation he's placed into. You'll see a lot of guys do just what you mentioned and drown in the crowd's chants. Cena will own them. I guarantee if the crowd would have done during a John Cena match what they did during Sheamus vs. Orton earlier this year after WrestleMania, Cena would have played into it and likely made it absolutely hilarious. |

It was remarkable the 1st time it happened - to Orton/Sheamus the night after WM29 - but it's just downright annoying now. People are chanting because they're bored. And look, they had a right the first time (Orton/Sheamus were boring the tears out of people's heads) but pretty much every time since it's been rather unfair (last night's Ryback/R-Truth match was not boring) Hell, find new people's names to chant and maybe I'll turn around. "Adam Bomb!" "Wild Samoans!" "DDT!" "Scrooge McDuck!" "Klaatu Barata Nikto!" Have the fans ever chanted for Mr. Perfect during a Curtis Axel match? I don't think so, but he got a big pop when he won the title and pointed up to the sky, because people knew what that was for. |

As much as I don't like them, I'd forgive them if one of those random chants ended up being "KUMITE, KUMITE, KUMITE, KUMITE..."

It doesn't bother me as much as the What! chants but I admit it's sorta getting old. Chant boring or bullshit if you are bored otherwise shut the hell up.

I don't mind it, as long as they mix things up with random names.
