Funny how much the IWC can be exactly like WWE, or how many in the IWC say they see WWE:
"You're cheer how I want and for what I want and when I want ... and you'll like it."

I will take a hot crowd reacting to a boring product over a dead crowd not reacting to a good product.

The overabundance of "this is awesome" chants might be related to the big jump in match quality over the last 12 months.

Actually I prefer when Sherri Martel was inducted into the HOF and the crowd chanted "You're still hot!"

I think "This is awesome!" has definitely been warranted this year, we've had some.... well some awesome matches all year. Punk/Reigns was not one of those matches, but whatever. I'd much rather have a super hot crowd then a dead one.

I remember a "This is awesome" chant during a match a few weeks ago, and the match was absolutely awful. It seems that people are even starting to use the chant to mock bad matches as well as praise the good ones, so I can see why some are saying that it's being diluted.

The last time I attended Raw, Sgt. Slaughter got a "You've still got it!" chant from one guy in the crowd, to which another guy replied "No! Don't ruin the meaning of that chant!" This was also a few years ago, making Slaughter even less likely to "still got it" when he appears on Old School Raws nowadays. ...That's all I have to add, really. I found it funny.

Scotty 2 Hotty did quite well considering he hasn't wrestled in years. Plus dude is in great shape and hasn't aged a bit He was on NXT last year, wrestling Slater as part of the legends feud. Why does no one remem oh yeah because they didn't get him for Raw 1000 to be with everyone else in that Slater/Lita segment. Oh, and he's aged. That close up of him before The Worm told that tale completely. But he's still in great shape - he's a firefighter so he's got to be in better-than-good shape, and I think he still wrestles indy shows on weekends here and there. And clearly the WWE knew all this because he worked 80% of the match for his team, and did extremely well.

No matter how much people chant THIS IS AWESOME in the WWE, it'll still never be anywhere near as bad as it was in the Impact Zone some years back.
*Wrestlers engage in collar and elbow tie up*
"TNA! TNA! TNA!"
*irish whip*
"HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT"
*shoulderblock
*THIS IS AWESOME THIS IS AWESOME*

That was awesome!

From what I've noticed over the last few weeks, the scientific formula is that when it gets near the end of the match, Near fall on A + Near fall on B = This is awesome.

Somebody could blow out their knee. Somebody could botch the spot. Somebody's shoulder could pop out the socket. A fan could rush the ring. The roof could cave in. Both wrestlers could spontaneously combust. Aliens could invade. The Old Ones could be awakened. The lights could go out because someone forgot to pay the electric bill. EXALT could set the roof on fire. The ring could disintegrate. Eric Young could be shot out of a cannon. The ref could be abducted by ninjas. See? All these horrible things could happen. But eh, they want to chant that? Might as well let 'em chant.

They should sit on their hands or shout "boring" instead. That'd be much better for everyone.

Funny how much the IWC can be exactly like WWE, or how many in the IWC say they see WWE: "You're cheer how I want and for what I want and when I want ... and you'll like it." People can chant whatever the hell they want whenever they want. I want it that way and encourage it That's not what I'm getting at with this thread at all. All I'm saying is those 2 chants are being overused to the point where they're becoming meaningless and that's annoying me. I didn't say that people should stop with the chants though. Just that they irritate me. Lots of things irritate me and I'll have a moan about it. Doesn't mean I don't respect peoples freedoms to do those things.

You get them to stop chanting "What" sometime before Steve Austin collects social security and I'll end those chants.

I think, well, I think it makes the Legend feel good more than anything. A little ego boost.
I mean its relatively harmless since WWE clearly doesn't listen to its audience so there's no chance of them re signing someone based on crowd reaction alone.
