Final Battle 2011 when Generico came out. They were off. It was painful.

The Tacoma, WA crowd that killed WCW (WWE version) in one night.
Yeah, the match ended up crap but they went straight for the exits right as the match started and were just looking to boo. Sigh...
Can't be that mad actually. That's years of WWE conditioning their crowd that WCW was nothing but pure crap. Still, thanks for THAT joke of an Invasion, Tacoma.
Also...I loved the West Texas Rednecks. Disliking rap is racist?

Fans who try getting themselves over by chanting things completely unrelated to (a) the product, or (b) wrestling itself. Like some guys at the last SHIMMER who did nothing but come up with chants about cheesecake. I told them to shut the F up. Yes, thank you! And this seems to be the only type of crowd I encounter at shows anymore, which is why I've pretty much stopped going.

Also...I loved the West Texas Rednecks. Disliking rap is racist? They said more than that. But on the topic of "hating rap is racist", no it's not. When you generalize rap or hip hop in general into just gansta rap, or generalize the type people within that genre (because really it is just as various and unique as any other big genre), that's when the slippery slope shows up.

Surprised this hasn't been brought up yet. Bret Hart's first promo in WCW since Owen's death and the crowd is dead and someone has the audacity to say "Hurry Up." to Bret.

I just recall the one-dimensional rap vs. country part. Anything taken further (like racist slurs) said must have ultimately slipped my mind over the years.

Can't stand the "Wrestling... Yay! " chants.
I'm of two minds on the "you fckd up" ones, though : when used on a small botch that didn't really disrupt the flow of the match, it's pretty annoying. When it's done on a huge, obviously botched, spot, that totally stops the match cold, and leaves both wrestlers with a disgruntled look on their faces, the chant can be fun, especially if the wrestlers own their botch, and play to the crowd (or even better, if they try exactly the same spot two seconds later, and botch it again).
Other than that... "inbred" indy crowds annoy me. Not "inbred" in the usual sense, though, "inbred" in the sense that they're always the same faces, always at the same shows, to the point they're like a club (think the Impact Zone Crucial Crew), they all know each other, they all are friends with some of the wrestlers, they all try to compete for their attention, with chants, with gimmicks, with gifts, and so on. Shimmer has some, ROH too... hell, even when TNA came to Paris, the entire first row of the house show was composed of members from a smark forum who spent the entire show showboating, hamming it up in order to be noticed by Borash, chanting inane things, booing kids, and insulting non-smark-favorite wrestlers. Granted, this kind of fans makes noise, but it's annoying noise.

Anytime WWE goes to LA.
Jaded, jaded fans who seem to be interested in virtually nothing.

The "You Can't Wrestle" chant needs to crawl back to the depth of hell that spawned it and stay there.

I think it was Eric Bischoff that said that LA was the worst town to run for WCW, because the people there were seriously overstimulated and burnt out when it came to entertainment, so they could never get good reactions from crowds there.

The MSG crowd at this year's Survivor Series was particularly obnoxious.

The "What?" chants are all that immediately comes to mind. I usually like an active crowd expressing how they feel about the product. "What" chants can work sometimes, like with crazy heel R-Truth, "Don't you what me!" However, I absolutely hate it when people shout it while a heel is cutting a serious promo.

I hated the recent Sexual Chocolate chants at Mark Henry. Let go of something that happened 12 years ago and look at what he's doing now. Why don't people chant Prototype at Cena? Or Giant at Big Show? I don't think The Giant was a particularly bad or embarrassing gimmick like Sexual Chocolate was. And he's a heel, so a crowd chanting that doesn't seem like a big deal to me. It's not unlike ECW crowds chanting "Aldo" at Justin Credible. And not many people know about Cena as Prototype considering he never had that gimmick on a national stage.

Trust me, I've tried my absolute hardest to forget that moment. Moments like that make the hardest of hardcore fans embarrassed to be wrestling fans.

"1... 2... TWINKIES!"
It was kind of funny the first time they did it. But then got really old really fast.

I hate hate HATE it when there are girls in the crowd who think they absolutely must SHRIEK at the top of their lungs like they're getting raped every five seconds! Makes me want to kick the hell out of them just to get them to shut the hell up.
