Most Awesome Fan(s) at Shows You Attended?

[theryno665]

Ok, we got the annoying fans, what about the awesome fans (besides yourselves, of course)?

I mentioned the drunk redneck who called Sheamus "Shameless" in the Annoying fans thread and thought him to be quite awesome. But there's one who trumps him so far:

At my last Smackdown taping, there was a little kid sitting in front of me wearing a Kane mask, probably like 4 or 5 years old tops. Only he was so little, his entire face could be seen through the mouthhole, so it was more like a Kane helmet. Anyway, he was getting a little too hyped up during the NXT taping. In a boring-as-all-hell Michael McGillicutty vs Percy Watson match, he started yelling out "KICK HIM IN THE DING-DING!" I don't know who it was directed to, he just wanted to see someone get kicked in the ding-ding. He did this a few times but it escalated quickly his next command was "RIP OUT HIS EYEBALLS!" His mom got him to settle down and he didn't yell anything out like that for the rest of the night (I think he even fell asleep before the main event), but he sure made a nothing match entertaining.

The following isn't exactly a "live" experience, but it still counts I think.

I spent my first year out of college as the caretaker for my grandmother. One day, in an attempt to watch something other than wall-to-wall Game Show Network and Shirley Temple movies, I put in my copy of WCW Great American Bash '89. She slept through most of it, but was wide awake for Flair versus Funk. She was quiet, until Ric Flair started to bleed. "I can't believe this," she said.

"He got cut open," I said. "It adds to the match."

"I know. I just can't believe he would do such a thing." She pointed at the TV, which by that point was focusing on Funk and his manager, Gary Hart.

"That's Terry Funk," I said. "He's the bad guy. That's what they do."

"No, not him. I like him. It's that other guy. How the hell does he think he can get away with a wig like that." I bust out laughing.

"That's not a wig. It's his actual hair."

"Bullshit."

"No, it's real."

"I don't believe you." She spent the rest of the match aggressively cheering for Funk, asking him several times to "knock is wig off." Even after the match ended, she was adament that Flair was wearing a hairpiece. "I don't know how he kept it on. It must have been with glue or something."

I love any fan that breaks the awful wrestling fan stereotype. Makes me feel proud when I see an attractive person at a wrestling event that isn't forced by their job to be there.

At a Raw, there was a guy in a Sting outfit with a replica WCW belt (before they were being sold by WWE) and would randomly stand up during the show while everyone else was sitting. People were yelling at him to sit down even from other sections. During one of the commercial breaks, a guy in the section to my left had a lucha mask and stood up and called out the Sting guy and started cutting promo on him. Sting held up his replica belt so the guy in the mask took off his leather belt and held it high and all the nearby sections started cheering him. Sting actually left after this happened

[SOR]

Anyone who isn't a "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I KNOW WHAT (Obscure Indy Wrestler/Promotion) IS! LOOK AT MEEEE!" is fine by me.

Of all the "fake" things people want to find about wrestling, I've never heard of people faking their hair.

(Almost) Everyone at PWG shows.

I took my brother-in-law to a Raw house show in 2005. He has special needs and is a huge wrestling fan.

I've noticed over the years that WWE wrestlers have always been good at paying special attention to special needs at shows and interacting with them. This night was no exception. Triple H even spend a solid minute talking to a kid on his way to the ring.

Unfortunately for my Brother-in-law, despite being along the guard rail on the entranceway, he didn't get any acknowledgement from any of the wrestlers the entire night. Not a hand slap, a nod, nothing. He still had a good time, but you could tell he was disappointed.

The dude sitting beside us took notice as well, walked up to my brother in law after the show and said, "here champ, why don't you get a few pictures with these?" And proceeded to drape both of his Big Gold Belts on each of his shoulders. That perked him up real quick.

So I'd say that's a pretty awesome fan.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Most of the local shows I goto the neighbor's special needs son goes with me. And all the wrestlers make it a point to come talk to him.

[thetower52]

It wasn't at a show
But I was at a store with some friends and I had a nexus hoodie on
And some like 7 year old runs up to me and yells nexus sucks and runs away

I laughed my ass off it was awesome

This made me tear up a little. Lovely story.

I went to a local indy show here and sat by this absolutely gorgeous looking girl who was totally into everything. I hadn't met her before that night but it turned out we both ran in the same circle of friends. I have never seen someone lose themselves so much into a show. She hated the heels, cheered the faces. All except one local wrestler named Titus (Who's actually not bad at all. Dude's very solid) because she hated his dreadlocks. She's getting on him telling him his hair is stupid, and the more athletic stuff he does the less impressed she is. Eventually he starts playing to it and it becomes this big running gag through the match. Finally, he wins the match with some awesome flippy dippy thing I can't remember. He rolls to the outside, walks up to her and goes "Ehhhh?" looking for approval. She looks up at him, frowns, and gives him the slowest most elaborate thumbs down ever. Big laughs all around.

This goes in the didn't happen at a show file. My friend and I were walking through the French Quarter and saw a pretty rough looking guy wearing a WWF scratch logo shirt. Seeing as it was 2007 at the time this was pretty rare. My friend says, "Nice shirt man. They should've never gotten the F out." His response was a simple "The F stands for F***!" and kept on walking. We still talk about that to this day.

Kids are awesome at live events.

And the two women in 2000 who sat a few rows in front of us at a Windy City show, back when the T-back was in full effect.

[edgestar]

Kids are hilarious at live events. They are part of the entertainment for me! We were at the show where the debuted the Laptop GM/ Nexus attacks Vince, and some kid randomly yelled out, "Michael Cole Sucks!"
