I sure hope Big Show and Kane received some kind of monetary compensation for the trauma they endured at the hands of that baying mob tonight, otherwise my peas will be thoroughly steamed. Forget about them, Orton is the one that deserves compensation. This dude probably gets 'Nam flashbacks and starts hallucinating Sheamus every time this shit happens.

What sucks is they actually were awesome until they decided to tell us how awesome they were.

That crowd were awesome, with the sole exception of the abuse they gave to the Bellas.
If you pay hundreds and thousands of dollars to go to a show, and you're not entertained by what you see you're completely within your rights to voice your disapproval.

Im sorry, but since 20 responses were posted while I wrote mine, I wanna say afew more things.
Anybody saying "Be Respectful" needs to come off it.
Despite what Vince will tell you, this is pro wrestling. WWE, among every other now defunct and still active promotion, has insulted us time and time again. Ya we all gather on an internet forum to bitch, but we still buy tickets, subscribe to the network, play the video games, etc, which makes the model work in WWE's eyes. They can do no wrong cuz we'll keep lapping this shit up.
When you are a part of a live, nationally televised crowd? Its your public duty to make signs and chant whatever you deem fit. Its your way of voicing your opinion and its the only thing they listen to. Daniel Bryan didnt ME WM30 because of tshirt sales. WWE changed course because we shit over everything they were doing that didnt lead to him getting there.
As fans, if we dont speak out, even if it is hijacking a show, then we are just encouraging the business practices of a senile man who was out of touch 20 years ago. Worse yet, we could let Trips and Steph fall into the same mindset that they can troll us, bait and switch us, but if we don't get a semi "Universe-ally" pleasing outcome, we will shit all over the product in protest.

The crowd was great for the most part, other than the chants they gave to The Bella Twins and "WE ARE AWESOME". Just loses a little something when they become self-aware.

So it's okay to chant about the Bellas sucking actual dicks and for Seth Rollins girlfriend that has nothing to do with anything?

Sorry, but no.
It was Big Slow and Kane for the 80 bajillionth time, oh and one dimensional Roidback for the face hoss. I don't care that it makes "sense" from a storyline POV. Orton/Reigns vs HHH/Rollins would've at least had some semblance of a main event in 2015 after last night.
I also cannot see how anyone can take it as "putting yourself over". I was in the Izod Crowd 2 years ago. Its the single greatest experience Ive ever had as a fan of this dopey shit called professional wrestling. The crowd WAS awesome then and it was (mostly besides the divas chants) awesome tonight and I just cannot get my pants in a tiff over "We Are Awesome" considering the timing of it tonight. When you're in that type of a crowd, it just happens. You get wrapped up in the chants and it feels like you're a part of something after a week of constant sensory overload from Wrestlecon to Axxess to HOF to Mania to Raw, its a big giant release and goodbye (altho I live in NJ, you still get wrapped up in it).
The show was pretty good, but I said it earlier, the air was really let out of the show after Lesnar's rampage which was incredibly well done but horribly timed in terms of card placement. The main event was dogshit and I was much more interested in what the crowd had to say than the garbage in the ring.

No, he got that spot because Punk told them to sit, spin and go f*** themselves with an un-lubed rose bush. Punk doesn't leave, Bryan is losing to Sheamus in the opener.

I hope this diva sexist chant shit doesn't catch on.
I love insane crowds, not hateful ones.

Good to know, in ring workate = amount of respect you deserve as a wrestler. I guess nothing else matters Where the hell did anyone post about workrate? Because when you're trying to demonize smarks then you gotta trot out "teh workratez"

Its disrespectful sure, but there is a difference between chanting it as a crowd and walking up to said performer and saying it to their face. This is the reality. Between Twitter and Total Divas, WWE wants to blur the lines. Well, lines are blurred. This is the byproduct.

We should be better than that. Roman Reigns boyhood dream was a trainwreck But we should be better than that.

It has been confirmed many times it wasn't. I mean everyone from Punk to Vince to Batista to Hunter and on have confirmed that.

I live in arguably the harshest city on its athletes, Philadelphia. Ive heard far worse yelled at athletes, from fans within earshot of said athletes. It doesnt faze them, doesnt make them play with any less heart or determination. At the end of their day, they do their job, cash the check, and wake up the next day anew.
Anyone that thinks Nikki Bella or Roman Reigns is in their hotel crying their eyes out or sick to the stomach that fans yelled things at them is a f***ing mark.

Not denying that most of that is true, because it's been backed up by many people, but I've never seen Bryan losing to Sheamus being mentioned anywhere but here. I thought it was just them having the match.
