We always talk about moments in wrestling that were terrible/embarrassing/stupid, be it a bad match or promo or storyline, but what moments from The WWE Universe made you cringe or shout at the TV? Fans chanting CM Punk at AJ because - LOL - they're married in real life and they're such insider smarks they have to let us know that they know that...stuff like that.
Go.

Crowds sitting on their f***ing hands and being dead silent while two or more performers are busting their asses in the ring.

Gonna be an unpopular opinion but the chants the Raw after WM29 got me rolling my eyes after a while. The stuff after 28 and 30 I liked, I felt it added to the show a lot, and it made the whole night emotionally engaging and fun.
That one Raw in 2013; the whole thing just started getting obnoxious after a while. "We are awesome!" didn't really endear them much to me, and after a while the whole night an excuse to yell funny stuff than anything else. I'm not saying that they don't have a right or that silence was preferable, or that WWE audiences should passively embrace whatever the company feeds them, but it just eventually got over the top for me. It did make Heyman's scathing promo against that sort of fan earlier this year all the more effective and has me wishing he had cut it then and not a year later.

The low standard of wrestling or segment moments that receive a "This is awesome!" chant these days.

The cage moment with Bryan and Bray Wyatt at the start of the year leading to the Rumble match. The hottest, most intimate moment I've seen with a large audience. The entire crowd merged into one enormous human being that night. I've watched since the late 80's and no Hogan, Attitude era crowd matches that moment to me. The often touted "HHH injury return" was nothing to this.
They need to develop Bray more so when Bryan is back, they can have an evolved Wyatt and Bryan epic. They can be career enemies and I'd love it.

Not so much in WWE as it was in ECW, but "You f***** up chants" are always embarrassing especially when a wrestler appears to have hurt themselves.
The rest of it seems to be a matter of "they cheered for something I don't like" or "they chanted boring at something others should enjoy" or "how dare they crap on a wrestler I enjoy". Making jest of an injury or potential injury is almost indisputably bad fan behavior in any sporting event.

That section of the audience on Smackdown who pop every week with the same seagull/hairdryer sound
I don't know who they are, but they seem to follow the show around every episode!

The "faggot" chants that can be found on just about any wrestling show before like 2000.

That fan who got in the ring and attacked poor Umaga in Italy! It was frankly atrocious of the referee to both ring the bell and put the title on the line instead of calling security.
