I figured since there's the whole debate over the Aries punch and a popular topic in the past has been Super Dragon fan, I thought we could list behavior that either has happened or would be fun to have happen that is just not okay for the fan to do.
-I've always wanted to do this, but it'd ruin it for everyone else if I went to a small indy show and chanted for a wrestler who wasn't there or maybe didn't even exist.
Example: *Chris Hero and Claudio lock up* "Let's go, Crusher Sanchez! Set him up for the Coleslaw dropkick! WOOOO DOGGIE!"

Chant "I approve of your wrestling abilities but I do not approve of your actions, staged or not, there is no need for that kind of buffoonery in my honest opinion, sir." Or chant Math problems.

"SQUARE ROOT OF 49!" CZW Fans: "8!" "YOU CAN'T DO MATH! Not insulting the intelligence of those who like CZW, I'm referencing them infamously not properly counting during one of their chants. Another great idea: In the middle of a 10 Punch, yell the wrong number and throw eveyone off. "1 2 3 4-" "12!"

I went to an IWA MS show a year or so back and pissed so many smarks off just for the hell of it...I would call out things like "i can see you calling your moves", and "oh no here comes the blade job", and "you've hit the 10 minute mark take her home"...Yeah I wasn't in a good mood that day

some guy sitting behind me in the Hammerstein was screaming some pretty awful hate to Todd Sinclair.
He was actually saying some stuff that made ME feel bad for poor Todd. Also, it's one thing to heckle, it's another to start ranting out loud for the course of the entire night. The fool was sitting right in front of Sasaki's family too.
Yeah we pay for our tickets, but can you take a crap on the floor too? Just like renting a movie, just because you paid, doesn't mean you own it. It kills the experience for everyone around you.
edit: I came across as though I don't approve of heckling at all. I do it pretty bad. I scream some pretty stupid stuff a lot, but not like what this one guy was doing.

Ian was in a 4-team tag match and screwed up a move big time. Some clown said just loud enough for our group to hear, "He really botched that spot." Ian overheard that, stopped the match to turn to the guy and yelled back "Yeah, no [crap]." I mean, it's one thing for the crowd to want to be a part of the show that maybe 100 people are even going to watch on tape, but it's even more juvenile to stop what you're doing in the ring and answer back to one catcall just because it's your show.

"You sold out" chants disgust me, with the exception of when it's used in a storyline where a wrestler sells out(like HBK/JBL). Disrespecting a guy for trying to make a living makes wrestling fans look like spoiled asshats.

I didn't quote in this post, but just to follow up the "unacceptable" part of the theme of this thread, I figured I'd make it general. It's not a threat to anyone on the board, just a scenario if you will, but there's at least one thing in particular that was mentioned that would very likely directly result in a similar picture from that smart alleck in the Aries thread. It would have nothing to do with being a smark, and everything to do with a punk trying to put himself over and be "cute." Inside a wrestling venue or outside a wrestling venue, I despise people who think they are so "cute" with their little antagonistic passive-aggressiveness. There's a big difference in annoying chants/annoying people and people who absolutely HAVE to be heard or seen at any cost. Make up for your inadequacies and failures as a human being by doing something we could all appreciate--like, by staying indoors and never leaving your house.

I don't know. I think that at a smaller indy show, it brings the crowd into it when the performers break the 4th wall every once in a while. They acknowledge the chants when they hulk out of a sleeper or work out of a both-guys-down 9-count. So acknowledging someone at some point can work. And example was at an AAW show in November, Jimmy Jacobs got crotched near the corner of the barricade. In the corner, his outside (right) ankle got caught in between the panels. He legit needed the help of the fans to get his foot out of there. "You need help, Jimmy?" "Yeah." "Really?" "Yeah, yeah."

Not really unnacceptable, but me and my wife, and our little group of friends have done silly things at shows.
During the NOAH UK tour, when Danielson was outside the ring we said to him
"You're a good wrestler, but you're NOT a very nice man" "We remember when you had a beard, you were a good dragon then, but by god you're evil now" "you're jealous of the streamers thats your problem, there's no burgundy streamers, cause no one likes burgunday except grannies"
Dragon was outside the ring during all the times we said it, and clearly after some heat, But we kinda just made him smile.
Also when Taiji Ishimori got in the ring I very loudly shouted "By GOD! YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!" which got odd looks from Dragon and Edwards
At every show when Jody Fleisch is on, I always shout "Dont do it! You'll botch!" and 90% of the time i'm right. In fact, on the King of Europe DVD you can hear me shout it before he messes up and does a SSP on to the steps outside the ring.
At some shitty local BritWres fed there was a rumble, with a 2 minute delay between entrants. But no official timer or buzzer. So our section of the crowd did it, and we just completely screwed it up for them. Usually leaving no more than 30 seconds between entrants, and when someone really crap came out we started the 10..9..8...7 countdown before they'd even made it to the ring... the wrestlers all played along, even when we decided to not count and waited about 10 minutes before making our buzzer sounds for the next entrant.
At a WWE SD Taping, I shouted at Michelle McCool begging her to eat a sandwich. She didn't look happy.
At the same show, Rey Mysterio was gesturing for crowd support post show, and I shouted out to tell him that Dominic was ashamed of him, for reasons i dont quite know.
Most recently at an A-merchandise show in the UK, me and a couple of friends took all the flyers off the seats which had pictures printed on them of the main event competitors (Mark Sloan and Mark Haskins) we tore up the flyers, tearing out the tiny pictures of each man and gathering about 30 of each in total we put them into the steal railings creating a mini-crowd. We then grabbed a large poster from the hallway where the toilet was, and ripped the pictures off that and put them in the railing too. It looked pretty damn creepy, truth be told. Mark Sloan saw it on his way out and kicked the crap out of it, to which we all acted accordingly... by pretending to cry and acting like he's murdered our children.

i hate it when those stereotypes of marks come to light sometimes at shows. or they try to hard to seem cool as if they really know what is going on.
such as talking really bad about cena and how he should die etc. i mean come on really?
i do have my fun though, one time at a house show batista was shaking the ropes me and a bunch of my friends screamed WARRRRRRRRRRIOR and it was so loud it threw him off in a confused look. lol

I remember once at a MLW event, the cops were trying to control a crowd that was gathering around a bunch wrestlers fighting in the bleachers, and some fan threw a cup of beer at the cops. the cops were pissed and ordered the fans to go back to their seats, which they've been doing the entire night. Funny cliff note is that I was wearing an Iced Earth Night of the Stormrider shirt, and in the back it says F*** POSERS, and they showed it on Sunshine Network (a Florida Sports channel) in one of the weekly airings, I was laughing like nuts when they didn't blurred it out with an MLW logo.

I have a few of these, but in the interest of brevity I'll only say one right now...
I REALLY, REALLY hate it when a smark that thinks he's funny finds the need to yell out wrestlers shoot names DURING matches. The last ROH show I went to, a guy seated near me kept yelling "COLBY LOPEZZZZ!" at Tyler Black and would just call spots for the rest of the match using the dudes real name. "COLBY LOPEZ is GOIN' FOR THE PHOENIX SPLASH. YOU WON'T WIN WITH THAT, COLBY LOPEZ!" It's not funny, it's not cute, it's just really damn annoying.

obviously this pretty much goes without saying, but anytime a fan tries to physically involve themselves in the action(unless its like High-fiving a wrestler).

Disrespecting a guy for trying to make a living makes wrestling fans look like spoiled asshats. What I found stupid is when it's said to wrestlers at the show of the company they've "sold out" to. Like when RVD showed up on Raw with Jerry Lawler. So if you hate this company so much you don't want your favourite wrestler working there. Then why the hell did you buy a ticket to come to their show?
