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! I f***ing hate those guys. They must have money though. They've been at every Smackdown since 2002.

"WHAT" I don't care where it happens, I hate it. Oh God this. Remember 2002 where morons chanted EVERY chance they got no matter who was speaking. They were ruining promos all night. I heard there was a house show when they chanted it during the National Anthem. Those people should have been rounded up and deported. Even now when I hear it I think the wrestler should be allowed to punch one of those idiots in the face. I went to a similar house show. There were like 3 or 4 of them doing it, but it still pissed me the f*** off. So, I had them kicked out. I went to security and told him that a small group of fans was making it very hard to enjoy the show. He asked me what they did and I told him. He got pissed and went to them and had them leave. Turned out, he was a Marine that lost a total of 7 fingers on a tour of duty the year previous.

"You still got it!" after one, maybe two signature moves from a previously retired wrestler. The only time it was very much deserved was in the case of Ricky Steamboat. The very worst abuse of the "you've still got it" chant was directed at Chris Jericho at the 2013 Royal Rumble when he had only been away for about 4 months. That's not worse than the TNA crowd telling their TNA world champion Jeff Hardy, he's still got it.

Even now when I hear it I think the wrestler should be allowed to punch one of those idiots in the face. It never could have been allowed to happen due to time restraints and what not, but I would have loved to see a wrestler respond to "what" chants by sitting down in the middle of the ring during a promo, and refusing to speak or move until they stop chanting it. You'd still get some idiots doing it of course, but if it happened again, just sit back down and give them the silent treatment all over again. It would only be a matter of time before the fans would get so sick of nothing happening that they'd turn on whoever kept yelling "what."

Crowds sitting on their f***ing hands and being dead silent while two or more performers are busting their asses in the ring. It's not the fans fault or the performers. It's WWE booking that doesn't give people the incentive to give a damn.

Goldberg chants for Ryback Husky Harris chants for Bray Wyatt We Are Awesome for Orton/Sheamus post-WM29 RAW popping for Orton's title win 2 days after Christian's first ever WHW title win Take out the Orton over Christian stuff and you got my list. Man, that "We are awesome" crowd may just be the worst ever in my book.

One of the worst things from recent times was probably the moment where Davey Richards accidentally top rope double stomped Paul London's head in ROH, it looked like London had received a fatal blow, and the fans started chanting YOU KILLED PAUL. One of those moments where I turned white for a brief period and just couldn't believe what I'd seen, the chant just seemed too much for me. Injuries aren't a good thing to get on a wrestler for, given Davey clearly meant to hit London's chest as per usual. London didn't die of course, he had a severe concussion, but eesh. Okay i am sorry but I really want to see video footage of that. Paul London is one of those guys I just despise and seeing him take any form of punishment is something I just love to see. His elimination from the 2005 Rumble, Kidman SSP him twice (Paul wanted Kidman to be serious), Juventud crushing Pauls face with a 450 splash. Everything

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. I hated that crowd too. Chanting for JBL and Lawler while a match was going on, a match that wasn't even that bad. It actually annoyed me more because people kept going on about how great the crowd was. I will say the CM Punk chants whenever AJ is in the ring. I mean what's the point? It's like that kid in class we all hated who jumped around screaming "Look at me look at me!!!" Yes Punk and AJ are married, no one cares. THe Husky Harris chants Bray Wyatt got initially pissed me off too.

To me the issues with the crowd depends on the workers currently in the ring. John Cena and Randy Orton aren't going to be hurt by CM Punk chants. But chant Randy Savage while two guys like Zack Ryder and Alex Riley are trying their damnedest to not only impress the fans, but also impress the office, and you're essentially taking food out of their children's (if they had any) mouths.

The jackass who tried to rile up Miz at a convention a few years back. I remember that tool. If I remember right, he labelled his video as "me owning the miz" or something like that. Nope, the fact that The Miz is a famous, millionaire wrestler whilst you are a nerd with nothing better to do than attend autograph signings to abuse wrestlers you don't like and try and get yourself over with other nerds means that you don't and never will own anyone. Anyone, on topic. Any time the crowd chants boring during a match. I'm ok with it and hell, support it during nonsense like Trump vs Rosie or if two wrestlers obviously don't give a toss and are half-assing it. But when you've got too guys busting their ass then I hate it. Like when Finlay and Regal got them. Anytime smarks think they're clever chanting a wrestlers old name. It just screams "look how clever I am! I know what the wrestler's old gimmick was!". "What!" CM Punk chants.

You have to put that into perspective, though. The entire night up to that point, WWE had the fans vote on what match they wanted to see. Big Show vs Sheamus, or Big Show vs Orton. The vote was made irrelevant by WWE going with Sheamus vs Orton, which pissed the crowd off. Their voice didn't matter, and they fired back. WWE lost the crowd that night in a big way.
