The Kimoa Kid posted:I have several friends whose kids are WWE fans and without exception they all love Roman. I've never asked but I always wonder what they think of all the boos he gets. I asked my friend about this and hilariously her son (who is like 9) is too much of a smark to care. She got mad when Dean turned on Seth and he said, "Mom, they're just acting! They're still friends in real life!"

I’ve never seen Penta and Fenix work as a tag team before. How does that even work, is Fenix just like “yeah he’s weird as hell but he’s still my brother”?

Pope Corky the IX posted:Yeah, that makes more sense. I'd like to think he did, as a perfect encapsulation of his career. In the biggest match of his career, the Iron Sheik popped a boner in the middle of ring before straddling Hulk Hogan. In the biggest match of his career, Sid shat himself. In the biggest match of his career, HHH won the Undisputed Championship in front of a deflated and indifferent audience because the real stars the crowd wanted to see already worked.

What's the most offensive crowd chant you've ever heard? I'm still making my way through B&V&C's Retro Raw/Nitro reviews and they have repeatedly said the crowd chanted stuff at Pillman in his dress that you'd never hear now. One time they said the crowd was chanting "gay" but was that always it or was the crowd dropping the F-word? I recall hearing ECW crowds did that.

There's also an early 90s WCW match where Owen Hart, working as a babyface, leads the crowd in chanting "human being" at his opponent.

One of the main things I don't like about Lucha (and Mexican sports culture in general) is the 4 letter p word chant. It has homophobic connotations and the técnicos will lead the crowd in chants. It is also used during Mexican soccer matches

Latino culture is still homophobic and misogynistic as gently caress, unfortunately. I still haven't cleaned up my act completely because it's quite common to use puto in Portuguese as a " loving" equivalent in sentences that would be translated as "I don't a loving dollar" or "I have no loving idea" and as a bilingual person it didn't sound as harsh as the f-word, which is outright proof that words matter and all.

I went to Cleveland All Pro show in like 2005 that depressed me enough to quit watching wrestling for almost a year. There were some little kids, maybe 8 or 9 years old screaming "gently caress you human being" at the heels while their parents looked on and laughed. One of the kids had a sign that said "faggit" I had dragged one of my friends to show who barely watched wrestling and he just looked at me and said, "These are your people, huh?"

I was also around 10 or 11 at the height of Sable's popularity and I certainly had lewd thoughts about her and Sunny. Craig on the podcast said in one of the last episodes I listened to that he wouldn't be letting his ten-year-old son watch any more of Raw very soon (this is late '97) and I can't blame him. But all the kids of every age were watching wrestling back then and I'm sure the people in charge knew it.

Jimmy Jacobs got a lot of really vile homophobic stuff yelled at him when ROH used to run shows in Manassas, but ROH fans used to be on par with ECW fans for ruining matches by trying to get themselves over too much.

At one of the RAWs after Mania (I think) a few years ago, the crowd was being especially lovely and chanted "You suck Uso" at Naomi and "You suck Cena" at Nikki Bella.

But original broadcasts are usually left intact on the Network, except in cases where a home video release was used as the master. For example Mike Tyson still calls Steve Austin a f* after their big Raw altercation in 1998.

Let it be said that super smarky crowds like ECW and ROH certainly CAN be obnoxious self important assholes that expose the worst of us, but they can also sometimes be creative and fun. I don't think its really that far removed from any of wrestling. I remember having serious problems with PWG awhile ago because of often you heard "fag" from the commentators and wrestlers. John Cena never went that far but is act during his terror run had a ton of homophobia. And even like one of Becky Lynch's TheMan tweets lately was really "slut shamey" and no one cared because she's a hot act.
