A good crowd can make a good moment legendary. Dolph Ziggler's cash-in. Daniel Bryan winning it all at Wrestlemania 30. That Guy being shocked at the Undertaker losing The Streak. Those are examples of crowds making things better, but there's literally nothing better than a camera, intentionally or otherwise, catching fans doing incredible, amazing, hilarious, endearing, or otherwise memorable things on camera (like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmeviQxoPwI&t=26s) or sometimes even near microphones! Like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzfQblbGqNk&t=259s I'd post an MMA example but I honestly don't know any! So post your Angry Miz Girls, your Proud Horsemen Fans, your Swaying Royal Rumble Dudes, your Shocked Taker Fans, your Angry Hardy Kids. and anything else you've got, be it funny, charming, relatable, or just plain memorable to you. Because sometimes there's nothing better than seeing people lose themselves completely in something as inherently silly as pro wrestling. Let's do this, thread!

I love this BURN IT DOWN but I also love Seth’s reaction to it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wV5UhE2j3FY&t=12 And speaking of huge pops, this one for Stone Cold always amazes me https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KybuIy0wKXk Like throwing an oil drum in a bonfire

It's audio, but this one cracked me up back in 1999 when I first heard it and I smile everytime I remember it. This guy had thoughts and feelings about Kevin Nash and HBK and he intended for them to be heard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEbtuZJtDT4&t=137s

When it comes to MMA, there is no better reactor than Joe Silva: gently caress it embedding won't work. Just click this. You'd think after booking and watching so many fights he would be numb to it but that little guy just loved MMA so much. Charles Gnarwin fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Jul 27, 2018 |

- "HIRE CEDRIC!" followed by Triple H walking out from backstage to agree with the crowd. - That time WWE showed that sweet video of an orchestra playing in Crow Sting makeup, ending with the reveal of Sting himself. Crowd LOST THEIR poo poo... until the WWE 2K15 logo showed up and you heard the biggest deflation from the arena. - At the beginning of the first brand split, one show had a bunch of segments of the APA's last day in business where they just drank and played cards with whoever. It ended with a brawl taking place with only the APA left standing. They talked up their time together, shook hands (huge cheers) and walked off. The last shot was the door with a "WE'RE CLOSED" sign on it as the lights went out, which the crowd treated as the saddest thing ever. - The first time Cesaro did the swing in WWE. It was a nothing match against Santino and the crowd just didn't care. But then the swinging went on and on and on and the crowd started to wake up and go nuts over it. - Tatanka was at King of Trios 2012 and did a singles match for one of the shows. Rather than play his WWF theme, they did the WrestleMania: The Album song. The crowd was 100% into it and sang along with "TATANKA! BUFFALO!" - Bo Dallas showing up on NXT as the masked wrestler, Mr. NXT and getting dueling chants of "YOU DON'T FOOL US!" "YES HE DOES!" Similarly, Archibald Peck did the same banned-guy-returns-wearing-a-mask gimmick as the Handsome and Mysterious Stranger, which immediately led to chants of "WE DON'T KNOW YOU!"

My favorite crowd chant, by far, is the "What the gently caress! What the gently caress!" chant when something really loving weird happens. Only times I heard this chant were at the second Joey Janela's Spring Break after Virgil said whatever he said and during a match (can't remember the one sorry) where someone did a suicide dive into a headlock.

I hate to be a negative nelly but I'm sad that Matt Riddle's Bloodsport had a "BLOODSPORT" chant but, iirc, not a "KU-MI-TE!" chant. Please feel free to correct me, I was pretty drunk that night.

Everything the crowds did at both ECW One Night Stand shows. Going bonkers for a Sandman, throwing Cena’a shirt back after rubbing it on their bums. It was great and fun. Where is the strange TNA gorilla man?

There's always the CM Punk Jeff Hardy promo. https://youtu.be/qhzwhAYy5hA And I wish I could find it but Vickie Guerrero always got amazing heat. There was a specific promo with her and John Cena where she couldn't get through a sentence without the crowd drowning her out.

Goddamn did I love Vickie Guerrero She was awesome at ringside too, she'd get into arguments with ringside fans, laugh at them when her guy was doing well, lose her poo poo when her guy started doing bad etc.

My favorite Joe Silva moments were his reactions to the Evans/Salmon and Barboza/Etim KOs. I am also a fan of Chuck Liddell's applause/nose wipe/applause crowd shots. For MMA crowds, I love when the Brazilians go deathly silent after one of theirs gets wrecked (eg: Arlovski/Bigfoot, St Preux/Shogun, Stipe/Werdum). The opposite is great too, like when Big Nog KO'd Schaub and the place went BANANA. My all time favorite wrestling fan reaction is from the '98 Survivor Series. There's a blonde woman in the front row who loves The Rock and goes nuts for him the entire show, and her disgust when he turns at the end is wonderful.

The championship ascension ceremony in Seattle where we wouldn't shut the gently caress up for Daniel Bryan was the best. I was in the crowd and I couldn't hear a single thing HHH or Randy said. It didn't come across how loud the crowd was

The 10 man tag main event at IYH Canadian Stampede has one of the hottest crowds of all time. It's just insane. It was also fun throwing ties at Bryan Danielson in his return to the indies.

Time to give the sweet science some love in threads outside our quarantine zone Mitt Romney was at Pacquiao-Marquez 4 (after losing the election lol) and was ringside and made a pretty funny face when Pacquiao got knocked out I imagine the sound he made was some kind of "oooooohhhhhh" but when a older dude says it.

I vaguely remember a segment on a RAW in Canada that involved Paul Heyman being examined by a doctor. It went way too long and the only noteworthy thing was that the crowd chanted "THIS IS AWK-WARD *clap clap clapclapclap*".

Another great one is when Sheamus was new on Raw and he absolutely annihilated Jamie Noble. All the while, this one fan was doing the most over-the-top laugh while calling Noble a bum and referring to Sheamus as Big Red. That guy was awesome.

There was a great video of Gangrel coming to the ring for a match and 4 of these guys in the front row are doing a totally over-exaggerated version of his head bob to his music and it's great. I think it's been deleted but if someone has it, you own.
