And I've seen a guy in his 30s yell "Cena sucks!" at every small child in Cena gear that went by him. Same thing happened to me.

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.... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}You were the drunk guy, right?

I went to a show during one of the Cena-Punk programs, and I was sitting next to this kid who was there with his father. Kid was wearing a Cena shirt, and I was wearing a Punk shirt. I noticed how excited he'd get whenever Cena was mentioned or was around, but his dad would quiet him whenever he'd start yelling for Cena. So at one point, I just nudged him and said chanted CM PUNK! And then he went on with Let's go Cena! We went back and forth like that, until his father leaned over him - looked me dead in the eye and said "HE'S JUST A KID!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Didn't know what I did

Also had a guy swear to me that Big Bossman wasn't dead - and was actually the Undertaker. Yup...

I had a guy at Fatal-4-Way in front of us only cheering people who used to be in TNA and talking about how much better TNA is than WWE and trying to explain to a mom and her kids why John Cena isn't all that great

Mania last year, group of guys behind me. "JUST RETIRE UNDERTAKER!!! YOU OLD FAT f***!!!! YOU'RE TAKING SPOTS FROM TALENTED WRESTLERS!!!! f*** YOU!!! DIE!!!" For like 10 minutes straight. Oh man, I can't even imagine getting to watch taker's mania match live and having to deal with that.

I once sat next to 2 clowns who chanted "Give him the sidewalk slam" about 10 times during every match at a WWE house show.

Anytime I sit near the "super" smart guys who loudly discuss somebody's times in the indys or their dirt sheet knowledge. It's not that bad but it comes off as they just want anyone around to know they know pro wrestling better than anyone else. 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. Seriously dude, were you with an adult at all??

Seriously dude, were you with an adult at all?? I was with my mom, who eventually switched seats with me. The guy was there with who I was assuming were his two sons, about my age. The guy was in a Jeff Hardy shirt and chewing on tobacco. Another annoying incident I thought of was at a Raw in 2001. This was the Raw when Rock/Jericho took turns insulting Stephanie. There was a group of creeps who literally barked at a hot girl as she walked past them. They eventually got ejected for fighting with some other guys. At the same show, some kid kept holding up a sign like every 5 seconds. I get it, hold the sign at the start of the show, or when your fall wrestler comes out. But to put it up during the Taka Michinoku match on Jakked is pointless. To top it off, the sign said "Rocky, Rocky" and had a picture of Edge.

At the first Monday Night Raw in my area in 16 years, I was sitting next to this rather large gentleman who was about my age. First of all, this f***ing guy sits with his legs spread as far as humanly possible when it's not completely necessary. Seriously. Dude is taking his seat and half of my seat, which is already an annoyance. Ideally he'd have sat like a human being and taken as little space as necessary, but I can live with this. What I can't live with, however, is him and another guy in the row in front of us thinking it's super cool to yell out wrestler's real names and past gimmicks through the entire show. IE: for Kane they yelled such classics as "GLEN JACOBS!" "DIESEL!" and "DOCTOR INSANO!" (which I suppose was supposed to be Isaac Yankem), and Dolph Ziggler was "NICKY!". They even tried to get not only a "Spirit Squad" chant started (in 2013 mind you), but they also randomly tried to get RVD chants started MULTIPLE times. This was months before RVD was even announced to be coming back to WWE.
The best of all however was Dean Ambrose, who was yelled to as "JON MOXLEY!" and "MOX!" ad naseum. At one point the guy next to me claimed that Ambrose heard his indy name, turned to him, and nodded as a show of respect that someone was calling him by that name.
It was all compounded by the fantastic way the guy in the row in front of us would look back after yelling some random shit to get approval from a stranger who was equally as obnoxious.
And don't even get me started on the one guy's continuous creeptastic comments about AJ during Dolph's match.
I'm not against going to a show and enjoying yourself, but holy hell.

WWE house show last week. Guy in front of me gets all whiney to kids (early teens)with signs standing in front of him during the opening match, the adult that is with the kids gives them the "we're in public" speech, guy stares at his phone for the rest of the night.

I've had floor seats for the last few cards and the one thing that pisses me off the most is the idiots who are back in row five and rush the barrier whenever somebody makes their entrance. They didn't even take pictures or anything, they just ran up to the barrier and the fun fact was that nobody was standing up in the rows in-front of them. One of them wore a Great Khali shirt and had a homemade picture of Cena and the best way to describe the picture was Cena with the most derpiest face. They were just the worst especially since they acted offended when people got angry at them.
The worst of the worst had to be a disabled guy at a ROH show I went to. First off, he complains to his parents that they won't give him front row seats and then he has to be the most annoying smark of them all. He started off right after the first match and by the end of the night, everybody just wanted him to shut up. The great thing was, he sat behind me so I got to hear all of this.

The fans that go to the Hammond Civic Center are pretty cool. You have three generations all there having a good time. 1) Fans who recall the days of Dick the Bruiser/Crusher/Verne Gagne, et al., when they appeared every month. (I love listening to these guys.) 2) My generation, the ones who didn't get to see the AWA live (or maybe once - the controversial AWA Tag Title change by countout happened here) but seen it on TV. Went to a lot of the WCW shows here throughout the '90s. 3) My son's group, the young kids into everything going on in the ring. The Millennials.
Our main fan was "Underwear Guy", this harmless Jeri-curled black guy who sat in the same front row seat, always held up these huge bloomers whenever a heel came to the ring, taunting them and saying that was how big their girlfriend was. Ric Flair got in his face one time and they had a great shouting match, security had to pull Ric away before it got too heated.
As far as most annoying, ask the cute girls a few seats down that had to put up with "creepy Melina fan", this chunky Mexican guy that just sat in his seat and drank beer for the first two matches without an issue. Melina comes out to face Beth Phoenix and this guy started getting all riled up, speaking in Spanish ("something, something MELANIE! something something...") and constantly getting on the nerves of this group of girls in front of him. He was getting the "ham hands" on their shoulders and I think they eventually escorted him out.

I got another one, from the last ROH show I attended. First, there was this fat guy and his friends who used to work for ICW (Local death match company)who looked down on some young fans who showed up wearing Cena shirts while wearing a Punk shirt and Batman pajama pants. The only moment of interaction during the show was getting into a shouting match with a team that worked the dark match. I'm pretty sure he was friends with the team to make it seem like they gave a damn about them.

I don't recall any real bad house show experiences.
But for purposes of this thread, two stand out.
I think the "front row" or "reserved seating" deal at indy shows is a joke. It seems like all shows have that pricing and none are necessary, at least that I've been too, as the crowd is usually small. It's like buying special seats at a ball game, only to see fans going down to the front rows later since they aren't filled.
In 1992 it was my first indy show. My father had bought some comic books from one of the wrestlers. We actually got to go backstage and get some autographs before the show. As the show started my family was told "you're in our premium seats" by a family who had paid for the front row.
I've gotten to go backstage at a few shows and got free tickets for a few shows since then, both WWE and indy, so I guess I did alright.
Most annoying fan was a guy at an indy show kept yelling "Mad Dog! Mad Dog! Mad Dog!" in threes, every few seconds, for the first half of the show. We left at intermission.
A few months ago, I was at an indy show and DID THE SAME EXACT THING hoping someone near me would mumble "what's wrong with that idiot."

Oh forgot my first Smackdown show wasn't annoying but funny the place was packed and during the main event Batista vs. JBL a "Special" fan tried to steal the world title it was way better than the match which sucked because the two matches before that were Rey vs. Eddie Street Fight and Taker vs. Orton casket match

"HEY MAN DO YOU KNOW WHAT ROH IS?" - somebody at every wrestling show I've ever attended.
