I'm starting to suspect that certain cities having reputations for indifferent and/or hostile crowds isn't actually because of any problem with the audience but rather about WWE being poo poo.

Pittsburgh actually cheered for Roman, but only because it was telegraphed for like two weeks that Batista was going to win.

Roman/The Rock got booed at Philly the next year.

edit: Pittsburgh booed pretty much everyone in that Rumble, especially closer to the end when dudes coming through the curtain were NOT Daniel Bryan. I still feel bad for Rey Mysterio, ha.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Your job is to entertain your audience so if they're quiet you hosed up. And if you KNOW a certain audience is predisposed to certain things then you have no body but yourself to blame for doing the thing you could have predicted would get a bad reaction in the place you chose to perform in.

But "the crowd was bad" has been a go to defense for homerism for as long as I can remember.

That's just Pat McAfee.

That is 100% his own shtick and not a WWE thing. Guy acts the same on his own podcast and when he guests on other things. He's also the guy who told WWE to stuff it when they tried to give him crap, which is probably why they let him do whatever.

WWE Champion Big E and Drew McIntyre set to meet face-to-face
One week after accepting Drew McIntyre’s challenge for a WWE Championship Match, Big E heads to the ring for a meeting with The King of Claymore Country ahead of their bout at WWE Crown Jewel.

quote:

Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair attempt to work together in tag team clash against Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair
The battle for dominance between Sasha Banks, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair has resulted in heated brawls across both Raw and SmackDown in the past few weeks.

This Monday, The Boss and The EST of WWE will try to put their issues aside to take down the championship team of The Man and The Queen in a massive tag team match.

Will one of these teams work together for a victory, or will their animosity result in all-out chaos once again?

I used Peacock on my PS4 to watch the Hockey playoffs last year and it mostly worked great, only one game had a buffering problem. Their actual content catalogue is also pretty impressive and they have this neat gimmick on the cheap account with ads where every 2-3 episodes of a binge session they'll give you a commercial free episode courtesy of a single sponsor. I like it.

I'd say they're just giving WWE content the level of effort it deserves, but if they were doing that they would have never bought the network in the first place.
