Yeah, they're not the best straight up female wrestlers (even in their own company) and their promos are nothing to write home about, but bless their cotton socks they've been trying to get better, and they have improved noticeably... And then this crowd just reduces them to "the people that Daniel Bryan and John Cena have sex with" with a chant that may or may not have contained expletives. So much for "Give Divas A Chance".
Just rubbed me the wrong way when at other points in the match they were genuinely supportive of the women, even booing down a "CM PUNK" chant and starting an "AJ LEE" one.

A very disappointing display from wrestling fans. But I think it's sadder that... well... Bellas weren't the main women we saw on tv before they were sexual partners of major stars. I find that undercurrent just as troubling, if not moreso.
I mean you can go through and let's say the major promoted women of the past few years are Bellas, AJ, McCool, Vickie and Steph and it's like there's either 100% nepotism in Steph and Vickie or being sexual partners with top stars in Bellas and McCool, before getting that big push.
This needs to change just as much as wrestling fans need to act better.

Here's how those chants went...
YOU SUCK CENA to Nikki YOU SUCK BRYAN to Brie, both very loud
YOU SUCK USO to Naomi YOU SUCK TJ to Nattie, both audible but much more quiet
Then a few tried to start a YOU SUCK PUNK, but it fizzled.
I laughed at the Cena, but quickly got embarrassed by the rest.

I was getting into the show quite a bit, but the enthusiasm pretty much died with those crowd chants.

You knew sooner or later the crowd's attempts at creativity would bite them on their hairy, cargo short wearin' asses.

I will defend every other chant that happened, even goofy We Are Awesome chants, but shit like this goes waaaay beyond just having fun and makes wrestling fans look awful as a whole.
What's even funnier to me is that they start going "Let's Go Divas!" in the same match, like, we think you all suck dicks but I guess we're still giving divas a chance!

Yesterday I read the thread is wrestling getting more socially acceptable by pop culture as a niche product and I was thinking yes.Then when I saw this match and heard the chants the first thing I thought of was that thread and my head going "damn you misogynstic basement dwelling neckbeards! You're not doing any favors on the negative wrestling fan stereotype!"

Anyone care to wager how many f***s any of the divas in question give about the chants?

Wasn't it only a small minority of neckbeards? (Not defending it) I didn't notice it at the time and most of the chants seemed to be pro-everybody in the match :/

No wonder Orton gave that "Sure you are..." look when they were chanting "We Were Awesome"

There is no way Nattie ever sucks Tyson's anything. So the chants are shameful and incorrect.

I ain't defending this at all it's terrible. But I can't lie I did laugh.
What's stupid about this is those attended the show when they get online to talk about this and someone gives them a retort about those chants those assholes will be white knights about it and say "nah I didn't chant that I was nodding my head in disappointment"

Going by the YOU SUCK PUNK chants fading out quickly, if true, then it's a case of "We want divas, just not those divas", same with how they keep clamoring for new main event talent, then shit on it when it's not "their guy".

I think the Bellas are terrible, but those chants are unnecessary.

"YOU SUCK DICKS, WAIT NOT REALLY YOU'RE COOL" Isn't really much better though. I mean, there's an infinite amount of ways for a crowd to say "We don't like you." without making themselves look like the neckbeard dimension, as evidenced by how amazingly creative crowds will get for the sake of ruining Big Show's existence.

damn you misogynstic basement dwelling neckbeards Random note, I actually am in a basement and my beard is pretty untamed right now. I do respect women though. Just sayin'. Much like that crowd didn't care, you don't care about basement dwellers. They're just trying to make a joke, you're just trying to make a joke, but hey, society.
