I went to a TNA show in March. Aside from the fact that many audience members made me feel like I was at a Linkin Park concert, this ultimate smark (who wore a Cena sucks shirt) booed every face, cheered heels, and yelled at every knockout for being a slut or whore. He yelled that Brooke Hogan had white stains on her dress. He was about 28, and was telling people how he's a wrestler. The more he talked, it became apparent that he still wrestled in his backyard.
When I was about 13, I went to a Smackdown taping. This was around the beginning of the brand split. Every time a diva came out (they were advertising that awful divas special at The World), the 40 year-old guy in the seat next to me would put his arm around my shoulder and ask me if I thought the girl was "hot", or he would ask me if I ever "dreamt" about any of the girls, and it was ok if I did.

I haven't been to many shows, and all of them have been WWE shows, but I haven't had any problems. The only time was at a Raw where I got into an argument with a child. I was cheering for Jericho and he yelled at me saying "Jericho sucks, Cena rules!" I didn't even say anything about Cena but he just kept going until his grandpa just yelled "SHUT THE HELL UP!"

There's this guy who shall remain nameless who went to certain indy shows in my area. My friend and I got to be friends with him for maybe less than a month before he showed his true colors. Basically he looks like a midget Frankenstein who dresses like he came out of Hot Topic, and whose only comeback to anything is, "You think you're so cool?" When he is not going to shows, he goes online and makes misogynist posts and thinks he can cut promos on other fans and wrestlers.
/Not that the wrestlers he likes are any great shakes. I got stories, BTW.

I had floor seats at a show back in 2005/2006 somewhere in there. This family of seven foot sasquatches two rows in front of mine kept standing during EVERYTHING, including full matches. I had to stand in the f***ing aisle to watch most of the show.

I remember at a RAW in Nashville, one drunken fan kept saying, "I have to save HBK" as Chris Masters had him in the masterlock. I was really hoping he'd make a run for it. He was a pretty big guy.
Worst fans I've ever seen were at a TNA taping when I was vacationing in Florida. When people make fun of "smart" wrestling fans, they're thinking of these guys. The entire time we were in line they were ranting loudly about how much TNA suck and how much they hated it and how much better ROH was. They were using insider lingo, referring to people by their real names, and talking about how much TNA sucked.
While waiting in line for TNA.

I went to a house show in 2003 and this asshole kid directly behind me kept shouting the exact same things I was shouting. I was saying absolutely dumb shit because my friends and I already knew wrestling was fake, so we were basically being smarky assholes for only our amusement. I think the Dudleys cheated to win their match and I said 'that's not cricket' in the most exaggeratedly posh accent I could muster. That's not even a funny joke, but the little shit just quoted it again, and I guarantee you he didn't even know what I meant.
But hey, I was 15.

Drunk fans can be awesome. There was a Smackdown taping and Sheamus was beating up someone (possibly Christian). There was just one drunk redneck sitting by himself in the back row of the floor section over yelling "HIT 'IM AGAIN, SHAMELESS!" That's since become an inside joke with my friends.

Anyone who gets food. It's 2/3 hours. Eat before you get there. Don't make my personal space reek of onions and botulism.

Not really a worse fan but just confusing as shit and a tad annoying
Dude was in front of me at a TNA show in Salem back when Matt hardy worked for them.
When Matt comes out for his match he just absloutly shits on hardy all match long So much so Matt lets him Jump the guard rail but he didn't get in the ring
Then Jeff hardy is main eventing against mr Anderson
The guys goes on to rip Jeff a new one the whole time ass well Like the Hardys double teamed his girlfriend in front of hi. Or something But he turns around after the show and the dudes wearing a brand new hardy shirt

I could never list just one but I've been to plenty of independent shows where a promoter will bring in an indy darling on the cheap and smarks will turn up.
One smark asking me if I know what Ring Of Honor is in a really arrogant way. When I told him I knew ROH but preferred TNA he reacted in a negative way telling me I must not like good wrestling and that ROH would take over TNA one day and that Sonjay Dutt (The wrestler the promoter brought in that night) wrestles in ROH and that TNA are idiots for not wanting to hire Sonjay Dutt. Guess what he had Sonjay Dutt autograph though? One of those TNA best of the X-Division DVD's
On one of my last indy shows I attended (I don't go anymore because of the smarks) I got in late so walked in with my buddies and immediately sat down at a table up the back with this dude who was mid 20's and alone. Throughout the night he yelled "RUDO!" and "TECHNICO" at the wrestlers despite the fact it was an Australian Independent Show. He'd also start "Work rate" chants when the match was bad. Nobody understood what was going on though so it'd be a one man chant whilst me and my buddies made fun of him.

On one side of me at an ROH were two guys doing cheesy mid 90s Vince McMahon commentary, which stopped being amusing after a minute or two. On the other side was a very large man who engulfed most of my seat.
And I've seen a guy in his 30s yell "Cena sucks!" at every small child in Cena gear that went by him.

A friend and I made the trek from Newfoundland in Canada down to NYC and Philly for the Misawa ROH shows.
A certain fan who wore a certain comic book hero shirt (I'm sure we all know who I'm referring to) did his little schtick/gimmick and counted FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE! *ding ding ding*. A mass of fans around me were like "what the hell is he doing" while others were along the lines of "OH GOD NOT THIS CRAP AGAIN".
Yeah.

I'm in my early 30s. I have a wife, a job with an extremely long and complicated title wherein I control a company's budget and supervise 30 fellow adults. Its a stressful life. I don't party anymore, I'm a responsible adult after all, and for "fun" I bump around an mma gym learning some wrestling techniques (solid workout btw) and I spend a couple hours each week watching wrestling because its...its fun and I'm not in charge so I can just enjoy it. I've been a fan for a LONG time, picked up a few "insider" terms and seen a lot of cycles come and go. For me its just a LOT of fun to get a ticket to whatever company is in town, have some awful arena food, and blow off some steam...preferably with as many of mu friends as possible. Its a way to just not have to be who I am to my family, to my staff, and to my colleagues. Hot chicks, I get to cheer and boo for whoever the heck I want even if I just bought some douches shirt at the stand 15 minutes earlier, just really bust loose. Anyway, I don't know that id say I hate them but im ALWAYS perplexed by those turds that go to shows and sit on their hands...make no noise...don't stand up and cheer, or do much of anything. Those people, ugh.

I was up in the rafters at a house show with a friend and there were a couple of other kids and a guy that was out of his mind drunk, he kept yelling and it was annoying as hell, but after awhile it stopped and I turned to see he wasn't there. I never saw him leave or ushered out either. Hmmm....
