Bret's return to WWE on the first RAW of 2010. As a Bret fan, I was so, so excited, and wasted no time in tuning in to see one of my heroes finally move on from the past and come back home. And...the crowd in Dayton, Ohio, just kind of sounded lukewarm. Imagine if this show had been in Toronto or Montreal. I always found that to be a criminally small reaction and I'm not even really a Hart fan. The music killed my enthusiasm from the get go. Was it sabotage? I was expecting his 1994-97 theme to get me pumped up. I hear the guitar rip then a weird rip and I'm already deflated.

If I remember correctly, they did this in reaction to TNA's "Hey we are moving to Mondays, hun." experiment. I guess there was that historical reference to Hart winning the KOTR in 93 in Dayton as well.

When Taker lost to Brock , you could hear a pin drop and one jackass yells out " You suck !! "

Triple H has his arm broken against the beast Brock Lesnar at Summerslam 2012 and is forced to tap out. Following the grueling match, he slowly gets to his feet holding his injured arm, looking out at the assembled crowd at the Staples Center, eyes wide with regret at letting them down. After such a valiant effort and passionate determination displayed by HHH against a monster like Brock, there can be only one proper response the 14,000 people there could truly give such a performance...
"You tapped out! You tapped out! You tapped out!"
God I laughed hard that night.

Triple H looking mad as shit while the crowd drowned him out with "YES!" chants during that championship unification bullshit is one of my all time favorite wrestling moments.

And I don't remember the exact reason,but Triple H was standing in the middle of the ring,looking sad and expecting a sympathy cheer. And then the crowd starts chanting "you tapped out"

When they were uniting the titles and Orton and Cena were holding theirs aloft before the big match and people wanted no part of it. That unification match was so unfortunate. I love old school booking and things as simple as unification matches. I actively tried to get excited for it, but just couldn’t.

My memory is horrible, did the crowd no-sell Batista pointing at the Mania sign after the famous Rumble? Or did they shit all over him. I really don't remember. Don't remember how it came off on TV, but I was at the 2014 Rumble, and Pittsburgh audibly was pissed. Yeah, I think that was one of those times they muted the crowd after they started reacting the opposite of how WWE wanted them to.

That Orton/Cena Rumble stare down is king. I think it killed a Mania main event.
The best bit is: not 20 minutes earlier, they had done a Cena/Kofi stare down, which got a proper "ooh this is interesting" crowd reaction. Audience would rather Kofi/Cena than Cena/Orton.
In fact, did we ever get Kofi/Cena one on one?

God I laughed hard that night. was that the match (in a cage?) where- after HBK got an impromptu standing ovation from the crowd after a hard fought match not too long before that, that they tried to recreate the moment for HHH and the crod just kinda sat patiently waiting for HHH to leave the ring while he tried stalling and staggering around waiting for the ovation or am I thinking of another match?

Orton beating up Cena's dad, which was followed by the show ending with Cena concerned for his dad... and fans chanting "you can't wrestle" loudly.

The crowd wasn't really interested when Lunchmoney Lewis unhinged his jaw and swallowed Pitbull whole. The ingrates! And people were excited when Lewis retained the Basement Championship at the Honda Center just a few months earlier.

The entire roster no selling this "Ceremony of Champions" segment followed by this great Punk reaction when Steph was putting over Triple H.

You can pinpoint the moment when The Rock realize that Roman Reigns was going to be a failure. Imagine the pop if The Rock say screw it and rock bottom Reigns right there and then.
