Im more worried about the HOF. Hopefully the fans will have the dignity to be quiet, i would NOT want to hear "Daniel Bryan" or "CM Punk" chants while Roberts is talking about rehabilitating his life, or while the moody family is talking about William (Paul Bearer). I hope hecklers get kicked out this year. Stuff from last year left a bad taste in my mouth.

Why chant that name? He's the idiot who left, they didn't fire him.

On one hand I like the chants, but realistically if people really wanted the product to change then they wouldn't pay to be part of the show...you buy overpriced tickets, travel some people even from over seas, got to axxess and even raw the next day, and somehow wwenarenthe asholes when you're chanting Bryan, cm punk and Dada DA ding? They are laughing all the way to the bank. Many of those people bought their expensive travel packages in the summer, back then things were looking good going into Summerslam so they wanted tickets not change. Back then there's every chance that one of the reasons they bought tickets was to see CM Punk, maybe even VIP axxess tickets especially for him, instead they have Batista. Arguably they could also reasonably expect Cena vs Undertaker and that Bryan would either have had a decent run with the title, was still reigning champion or that he would win the rumble. So if they get none of that and their main-event really is Batista vs Orton then they have every right to be let down, there was no way they could predict that when booking their tickets so if they feel they have to create their own entertainment to get their moneys worth then that's up to them. That said I think WWE are fine with the recent post-WM crowds to the point they almost encourage it as an unofficial part of the WM weekend, they just want to keep such reactions good-hearted (which the last couple have been) and limited to that night and traditional "bizarro world" crowds. However if things carry on as they are and WWE can't/won't fix it then there's the possibility that the crowd won't just being focused on having fun but will be genuinely pissed off.

Why chant that name? He's the idiot who left, they didn't fire him. I think because, until we hear otherwise, the reason being spun is that he got tired of management buffoonery and creative short-sightedness. That's why it seems so much like a work. It's only adding more heat onto the perceived belief that WWE is an out of touch corporation, and it's making heroes out of those perceived as having been oppressed by soulless interference. It's human nature to back "underdogs". No one pulls for big business in morality tales (unless you're really weird). And if it's all one big work, kudos to WWE. They actually managed to make us all believe after so many years of really hokey fake angles.

They really laid the groundwork for this one.

Anyone who buys tickets without a card, 8months in advanced has themselves to blame. You weren't advertised anything other than the fact that it is mania.
