For a team that pops the crowd like they do now, I remember The Usos got some pretty bad Conway pops in their early days. Jinder Mahal at what I believe was the 2011 Royal Rumble was a pretty noteworthy one. You'd swear they had just played a recording of his theme instead of the live feed the crowd was so dead. It used to be a joke with me and my friend in 2010 when The Uso's debuted that the crowd was popping so loud for them on a weekly basis we had both gone deaf.

No question, between the Spoiled Samoan Swat Team gimmick and generic Hip-Hop production theme #28C, The Usos were on the fast track to failure. I'd like to nominate Slam Master J and his nothingness pops.

Savio Vega emerging as DX's "mystery partner" at No Way Out '98 Those lousy fans just weren't hip to the classic Savio/Ringmaster feud in 1996.

When Vince announced Cena's opponent to be Snitsky in such a way he was expected it to be a crowd-pleasing decision and it was greeted with silence.

"Dwayne Gill" being announced as Mick Foley's opponent at Survivor Series 98. I know it wasn't meant to have a reaction other than "who?" And it definitely worked. Some of the random entrants in the mid-90s rumbles had some epic reactions of nothingness (even if they're not representative of the talent level of the actual wrestler), like Tenryu, Omori, Latin Lover, "the youngster" Carlos Colon and Dick Murdoch.

It still makes me laugh and cringe that they gave Kathy Lee and Hoda a segment.

Everyone keeps mentioning Kathy Lee and Hoda. I remember watching that segment with non-fans and constantly apologizing that they had to sit through that. I didn't even want to.

Both Orton and Sheamus' entrances before that infamous post-Mania Raw match were near completely silent. Just added to the trainwreck value.

For me it was live at TakeOver London at the NXT taping before hand. The crowd was really hot from the opening tag team match, then Elias Sampson came out and killed the crowd dead.

The Doug Gilbert one still gets me. If you were not a follower of the USWA, you probably thought "Who is this guy and why is he here?"

Big Show had just turned on Sheamus and Orton, who were his partners that night. (Big Show turning? Shocker.) Rightfully, both Orton and Sheamus wanted a match with Show. Steph (I think) comes out and leaves it to the fans to vote. Who faces Big Show, Orton or Sheamus? Fans voted Orton. Did we get Orton vs Big Show? Nope! SWERVE! Steph says that it's going to be Orton vs Sheamus, making the entire vote pointless. The crowd revolted. And it was glorious. WWE learned that night to never swerve the fans with the voting results again.

As much as I hate to say it I think the British Bulldog's heel run from late 1995 until teaming with Owen in late 1996 was largely heatless. Watch any entrance he had during that time period. It was like the fans didn't want to boo him since they still liked him deep down, but he wasn't a cool heel that got cheers either.
