In regards to "selling out", here are my two cents...
The term "Selling out" isn't a negative reflection on a wrestler *(or musician), it's a negative on the fans. Because any fan who chants it or regards a wrestler or singer or band or whoever as a sellout is nothing more than a possessive, fanatical, freakish stalker who thinks that they own the celebrity's soul, and get to dictate what the celebrity does with his/her/their career or life.
You know, "This wrestler can't leave the company because I said so! This musician can't change their sound a bit because I said so!" etc.

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. That guy probably saw the movie Kill Bill and sat in the audience like "You suck, David Carradine!! The Bride's gonna kill you David Carradine!! She already killed Lucy Liu, and you're next David Carradine!!"

I want to go to a RAW, wait for a Divas match, then shout loudly, "SHOW US YOUR T**S!" And when a Diva gets mad and looks at me, I'll shout, "NOT YOU, HIM!" and point at the ref.

I loved it a couple of years ago when the (WWE) crowd were chanting "you sold out" to Foley. In reply he said:
"Yeah, I sold out. I sold out Madison Square Garden."

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." I was SO CLOSE to doing something like that at Armdrags to Riches: "I STRONGLY DISAPPROVE OF YOUR TACTICS AND FEEL COMPELLED TO VOICE MY OPINION!" But instead, I just settled for "Colin, that is NO WAY to treat the World's Strongest... wait, what the hell is Delirious?" At the last Dayton ROH show, every time there was a near fall some jackasses had to yell out TWO! It was cute the first couple of times but the entire night... come on. That happened at one ROH show... I was running late and missed the first 40 minutes, so I thought some fan on the other side was being a douchenozzle by making constant "BRAINBUSTAH!" references (although "What's Japanese for BRAINBUSTAH!" was kinda funny). Then I found out one of the wrestlers in a match I missed called for a brainbuster and missed it. "What" chants. It's not 2001 or 2002 anymore, and most of the people who chant it probably don't know where it came from. ditto for "you screwed bret" everytime michaels goes to Canada. I dont think even bret himself would chant that anymore. To be fair, Gail Kim was walking by as well...
