“Wheeler’s got a gun” was being sung to the chorus of Give It Up, at least it was in my section

The worst chant is "We want tables." You've got a bunch of wrestlers covered in blood, giving their all for a banger hardcore match and the crowd wants them to know how THEY would book the match.

Especially at an indie match or something at a smaller venue. Like there's either gonna be tables or there isn't, but they're probably not going to have tables on standby under the ring in case they wanna add a surprise table spot because the crowds chanting for it

I found the sing-songy chants in UK crowds to be very charming but I didn't get the references for a lot of them. I know Seven Nation Army, that's kind of hard to miss. But there was one for Michael Oku that was "Michael O-ku, doot doot doo-DOOT" that I didn't get, and a really funny "Whoa-oh, Cash has got a gun, Cash has got a gun" during FTR's match, but I didn't recognize the tune.

Is the cash chant in rhythm to “ got yourself a gun” by Nas?

If you don’t understand the tune of a British chant with a bunch of doot doot doot in then it’s almost always Do The Conga

Feels like it. "He's not a carny trying to screw me over at every turn... but he still wants to pay me to wrestle. How? How does this work?!?"

AEW is new and different and by all accounts doesn’t sound like it’s run like wrestling companies have traditionally been run (terribly) so it terrifies them because it upends everything they’ve ever known.

I didn't hear the "na-na-na-na" parts but they weren't exactly singing on key, so probably yeah.

The Oku chant at RevPro didn't sound like Do the Conga, still not sure on that one.

Unlike 90% of the weapon spots, breaking tables is visually cool and satisfying, so the crowd is right.

The main thing to remember about the old timers griping about AEW and calling TK a money mark, is that if he called them and offered them a job, they would do an instant 180° turn and talk about how he's a great promoter with a keen eye for talent and a sharp mind for the business and so on and so forth.

See: Eric Bischoff, who went from trashing AEW, to praising them when TK had him on for a few guest spots, to trashing them again when it was clear he wasn't going to be offered any kind of full-time role

Not just that, but they probably feel conditioned to have to poo poo on everything else to stay in good graces with WWE in case they ever want them back since that’s been the status quo there forever. Only one pro wrestling sports entertainment company can succeed!

Oh yeah, that happened a bunch when Road Dogg got released not long back. Suddenly he was all over social media talking about how AEW is really good but they should totally hire him to help them get over the precipice because he knows how to make good wrestling.
