However, I can't imagine going to a concert and someone starting a "This is awful" chant when the band played something from their new album I mean, if a band were playing badly or weren't even showing up, you'd get streams of boos and people asking for refunds and the like. It doesn't happen that often but it does.

So with the whole "no wrestling during commercial breaks" does that mean that there is literal down time during this match? I went out of my way to watch it, and sweet god was it bad, but I can't imagine being there live with no end in sight.

The blame falls almost entirely on whoever decided this match should be a three segment match, considering the talent they had available for it. If they had had Charlotte, Asuka, Bailey and Sasha in there, I guarantee the reaction would have been very different.
What did they expect sending out Carmella who, while good at her character work, is dog shit in the ring, Alexa (see Carmella), Naomi (flashy, but can't carry a match) and the most boring and played-out woman on the roster out there for that long?
The match should have been a typical Fatal Four Way where the first fall got it, and they should have been in and out in less than 10 minutes.

On one hand I get the frustration as a performer if you're doing your best and the crowd is shitting on you, especially given the constraints WWE wrestlers are under. On the other hand, the crowd is under no obligation to be respectful; if they're not entertained by what they're seeing they have every right to express themselves.

Another thing I hate?
Not every f***ing match needs to be some 30 minute G1 classic special that goes on forever. I remember Nia Jax and Bayley had a match that was just awful cause it went on for 30 minutes..and there is no way on god’s green earth that someone like Nia should be working long ass matches like that.
All of the women in that match are simply “ok” to “pretty good” with the right opponent. Putting them all in there with each other and having them wrestle for 3 segments with no elite worker like Charlotte, Bayley, or Sasha to lead was just a bad decision.

For every person like Moxley who was like, "Oh my God this sucks," there's almost an entire damn roster who are like, "This is fine material, the matches are great- why are they unhappy with me?"
The roster sees X, the fans see Q, and as a result you get stuff like this.

If Alexa thinks this match deserves such respect and reverence like it's Hart vs Austin, then she should be made to watch it 200 times in a row.

Getting a little self entitled their huh biscut butt.
The match sucked and the crowd expressed their displeasure IMO if anything she should take the experience and use it to get better.

I appreciate that Alexa called out the fans for chants that offended the delicate sensibilities of our little princess.
Also Alexa, please

I don't know why she's so mad, this wasn't even close to as good as Melina vs Alicia Fox.

It doesn't happen that often but it does. My cousin, one of her best friends, and I are still roasting K-Ci and Jo Jo for the stunt they pulled at a show here 13 years ago. Granted they ended up turning it into a full fledged bit. I'm just not a fan of Bliss and I'm just tired of entertaining wrestlers when they hop online and throw tantrums. JT Smith and the women of ECW would prefer the cants Bliss got.

First- someone ship her as many links to Curt Hennig matches that are available to show her how to work the crowd as a heel before they start working you. As someone else mentioned, Randy Orton could write a thesis on this.
That said- if you have a problem with how a match went, and the crowd taking a dump on it- your problem is with the agent producing the match, not the audience. There is no way heels can get heat for slowing down matches in these weird TV rules that Vince has brought in. She’s mad at the wrong people.

I know the term “soft” is brought up a lot for today’s generation, but my god, she is offended by “this is awful”? Considering some of the chants women have had directed towards them prior to WWE’s “hey look we are progressive, honest!” phase, that is almost beyond the pale for what to be offended by. As mentioned, the crowd was taking turns chanting “you suck (insert boyfriend/spouse)” at women a few years ago.
Unless fans are chanting racist or sexist or overall hateful things, just roll with it.

I think some of this stuff you see on twitter like this persay, in relation to how crowds reacted back when wrestling was hot..is well the difference in society. Most of today's workers would struggle like hell with those crowds, people are much softer now and she's showing you she can't handle being told her match sucks let alone where some crowds went.

Oh Alexa... You had so much goodwill after the 365 special and this current angle with Nikki. Don't ruin it by posting stupid shit on Twitter.
If you have to express displeasure, heel it up. "I'm only 5'1 and 100 pounds, how can you expect me to carry all that deadweight?!"

Wow I read some of the twitter responses....the vast majority of them are shitting on the crowd. WTF man? If her and people who like her, womens wrestling, WWE, etc etc can't handle a crowd crapping on something they need to grow a thicker skin, that's a joke.
