Another one... when someone's giving a heartfelt speech in the ring, sometimes after having suffered a major injury, and the fans tell them to hurry up. Let the wrestler say what they want, damnit, especially if they have a concussion and they have to take things slowly sometimes.

Boring chants at the beginning of a match are irritating

WCW Road Wild crowds. Good match-ups (Saturn vs Raven, Juventud vs. Jericho), and the idiot drunk bikers were chanting "Boring" before they even locked up.
I also don't remember racism in the West Texas Rednecks angle. I DO remember Virgil/Vincent/Curly Bill was a Redneck, which just confuses me further.

Makes me want to kick the hell out of them just to get them to shut the hell up. You just reminded me of that shreiking bitch from the 2009 Slammy Awards... |

The "You Can't Wrestle" chant needs to crawl back to the depth of hell that spawned it and stay there. This. Absolutely hate it. The best response was Big Show: Crowd: you cant wrestle! Show: I dont *have* to! |

I had heard about that reaction, but never seen it. Was that the WWECW at the Hammerstein show?

I hate dead crowds, but the angriest I ever got at a crowd was in Lita's last match when they were shouting crack whore and herpes at her. It was her last match, give it a break Philly. The booing I could care less about, she was a heel, but that was just ridiculous and it made her so angry she flipped them off and at one point almost cursed out a guy in the front row who was yelling some very dirty stuff at her when she went to the top rope.
Ugh and YES shreiking women are the worse! Just shut up! It ruins everything, that John Cena Kane segment where this lady would not stop screaming like she couldn't control her hormones. Shut the hell up! It's so obnoxious.

I had heard about that reaction, but never seen it. Was that the WWECW at the Hammerstein show? Possibly. If so, that'll be twice in the space of about 5 years that the crowd at one show have pretty much killed an entire brand (see also WCW in Tacoma, WA, 2001). Anyway, Summerslam 2004 in Toronto had an infamously bad crowd. There's being a smarky crowd, and then there's being obnoxious no good reason. Seriously, who does the wave during a title match? Taker vs. JBL wasn't the greatest of matches, but deriding it like that was pretty disrespectful. Reports from around the time suggest that Undertaker was incredibly annoyed by it backstage. Also, booing Edge in his hometown when he was a face. I hate when that happens, even if it's to Cena. Also booing Eugene against Triple H, but I can almost forgive them for that. Those matches (and the main event) aside, they were dead for the whole thing, and I still think it's the reason why Toronto haven't had a 'big four' PPV since. |

Also...I loved the West Texas Rednecks. Disliking rap is racist? No, not at all; plenty of people hate rap for non-racist reasons. But, a lot of times racist feelings are expressed not directly, but instead at things associated with that particular group. "I don't hate black people, I just happen to dislike a lot of things culturally associated with black people." And that's why that angle was really uncomfortable. "I really like the white rednecks that have defined themselves as disliking those black people who play that black music on my TV!" The WTR didn't just dislike rap, they took a stand AGAINST rap, AND they had this explicitly white identity, AND it was all Southern, AND it led to situations where these group of black guys were surrounded by masses of booing white people who hated them because they were trying to perform rap music. It's all terribly uncomfortable. Somehow, the token off-race members of each group... Virgil and Brad Armstrong of all people... made it worse. It means they totally knew. They seriously thought, "We need to do one tiny symbolic thing so that people won't think we're being racist." |

People chanting "THIS IS AWESOME!" before the wrestlers even began doing anything. I'm looking at you Joe/Kobashi ROH crowd! The match itself was very good, but because you annoy me to no end I can't watch it without thinking "SHUT UP!" all the time.

I guess some people just saw more in the West Texas Rednecks angle than others did. Hence the mixed feelings.
I just don't remember this uncomfortableness about the angle on the message boards back in '99.
Oh well...to me it will always be as simple and innocent as Hennig saying "Boy, that rap music is awful. Now country, there's some real music!" and, since it's wrestling, they fight about it.

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. Bingo. That was the first thing that came to mind. |

Hate when some smark tells me to shut-up when I'm putting-over the awesomeness of cheesecake.

Shut the hell up! It's so obnoxious. Yes on both accounts. I felt so bad for Lita getting that response. Which actually reminds me of something else that hasn't been brought up yet... "Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" In some cases, I get it - a heel manager being ejected from a match or something, heel leaving temporarily, sure. But if it's someone's last match or last appearance for good, then it's pretty disrespectful IMO. |

People chanting "You still got it!" at wrestlers who either don't or never had it to begin with.

That's been happening in the Impact Zone off and on for years now. Always pissed me off so much. It's nigh-impossible to watch the show while some dumb chick is screaming her head off for no real reason. Jeez, have some respect for other people watching it and put a lid on it! |

The "You Can't Wrestle" chant needs to crawl back to the depth of hell that spawned it and stay there. I anticipate the day a wrestler answers that chant by letting a fan in the ring to show off his wrestling skills. |

I promised myself to skip anything CZW after the airhorn guy meme got out there. Seriously, screw that guy. What a jerk.
