I hate fans that chant "BORING" during technical matches. I hate fans that chant BORING for any reason ever. If you don't like the match, remain dead silent. But Trump vs Roise deserved that chant dammit!

- Fans who think wrestling is a sport and not a business. I'll have to respectfully disagree with part of that statement;wrestling(and really every other professional sport for that matter) is both a sport AND a business.Really, IMO,part of the problem with wrestling today is too many people (including a decent portion of the wrestlers themselves) see it as being almost solely a business. Getting back on topic I just remembered I also do not care for: -The really drunk fan: Eveybody has had this fan in front of or next to them at least once;even before the first match they're already tanked,they will then proceed to be incredibly obnoxious the entire show.I have no problem with a person having a few drinks but seriously,if you want to get utterly wasted just stay home or go to a bar so we can concentrate on watching the match instead of contending with your moronic drunken antics. -The chair fan: They are not seen at WWE or TNA events but can be fairly common at indy shows;they sit right in front of you and as soon as the action starts,leap up and stand on their chair the entire time "so they can see better",meanwhile totally disregarding the fact that they are now blocking everyone else's view.To make it worse,they also usually get an attitude with you when you ask them to kindly get off their chair so you and everyone else behind them can see. -Rail Rushers: Common at many shows,these are fans who as soon as the show starts leap out of their cheaps seats near the back and rush up to the security railing "to see better",often blocking the view of the people in the first few rows who paid perfectly good(and usually more) money to sit near the front so they could see.

Smarks who think they're too good to be smarks because they like one non-liked wrestler. That doesn't make you unsmark, that pretty much makes you more smark from the attitude you carry about it.

I was referring more to the people who think it's ONLY a sport (i.e. "workrate" is all that matters). I think it's mostly business and partially sport, because while it does take athletic talent to do what these guys do, the main objective is to sell the matches, merchandise, PPV's, house shows, etc.

1. I hate fans that chant "What?" for no reason. It was annoying when Stone Cold did it. Plus he was supposed to be a heel and it was to annoy fans, not get them to chant along. If a wrestler is cutting an important promo, It's annoying to hear What very 5 seconds watching at home.
2. Giant sign fans. Please don't put it up every five seconds. I would like to see please.
3. Nasty, grody fans that make you embarassed to be a wrestling fan. I go to live events and find myself surrounded by trolls wearing nasty old tshirts, trenchcoats, with crappy unshaved looking faces and weird sideburns. They spend $100 at concession stands and smell like, as Cena put it "fart juice." I know this is the only time you go out in public, but lose the trenchcoat, shave, and take a shower before you cram in next to me in public.

I dislike fans who think they know the inner workings of the business just cause they've watched wrestling for a long time and visit message boards and MAYBE worked a couple of indie shows. 1. I hate fans that chant "What?" for no reason. It was annoying when Stone Cold did it. Plus he was supposed to be a heel and it was to annoy fans, not get them to chant along. If a wrestler is cutting an important promo, It's annoying to hear What very 5 seconds watching at home. it's annoying also when they continue to do it 5 years later and 2 or 3 years after Stone Cold left as an active wrestler and hardly ever shows up now.

I hate any fan who doesn't share 100% of my opinions. In that case.... Bischoff Sucks Seahawks suck I'm hoping that this is just pointing out the obvious for you: - I was being sarcastic. - I'm not a Bischoff fan; he sucks at taking responsibility, and he is a great source of unintentional comedy material on his website. - I'm a Seahawks fan, but more importantly, a fan of seeing GOOD football teams in January, not mediocrity.

None of the fans bother me really, the only opinion I give a lick about is mine.

People that continue to loudly cheer Cena, ensuring that he participates in another year worth of main events.

I hate fans that don't order every single PPV, purchase every single piece of merchandice, and who don't donate extra charity money to Vince McMahon.

The kind of fans who booed and yelled "boring" during the London vs. Kendrick match on SmackDown, just to turn around and pop for crap like Batista.
