Cmon SharpRaymond New Jersey MADE Fandango. They literally did WWE Creative's job for them. And Carson its still cool to me dammit NJ "made" Fandango in the moment. Nobody in that crowd planned out the chant in advance. What made it great is that it was spontaneous, much like a lot of other memorable chants on that show. You're equating people not liking the idea of pre-planning chants with them not enjoying the post-WM RAW crowd. That's a logical fallacy.

Easy, guys. Zekey was merely having fun with fantasy booking a crowd. I doubt he's trying to build a movement to destroy wrestling.

Ronda Rousey should be chanted during a Divas Match involving the Bella Twins.
Undertaker should be chanted when Kane tries to cut a promo.
Finally, Kevin Dunn Sucks should be chanted if a sign gets taken away.

Again, I agree with you, I enjoyed them very much but the fact that they were so openly acknowledged by the announcers lead to every subsequent crowd basically trying to copy them instead of just being original. See in my way of thinking immitation wasn't the problem. Having Jerry the king in the ring try to "recreate" the momment was. Let it be, it will live or die on its own.

Nix the chants. If the product blows, walk out the door. Silence is the loudest chant of all.

I think fans should vocally express their frustrations if the show they paid a ticket to watch sucks rather than just leaving.
But nobody will ever be able to convince me that creating a checklist of chants prior to the show is anything but lame as fuck.

I see your point but the WWE does a good job of taking fan frustration and directing it. I don't know if they can deal with silence other than Vince coming out and yelling at the audience.

Crowd in Ireland being quiet got Vince's attention enough to actually address them, Philly crowd during Rumble didn't.
Money talks, bullshit walks.....and people protesting without actually doing anything is the definition of "bullshit".

Chants in sports are usually pre-written rather than spontaneous, right? Why should this be any different?
Wrestlers chants are usually terrible and the same shit every time. Anything other than "this is awesome" would be a welcome change.

"we are awesome".......typical "lets' get ourselves over" bullshit.
They are no better than the people who go to sports games only to throw a jersey on the field, wear bags over their heads, or those idiots who go streaking.
Great sports chants were not pre-written, all the best were made spontaneous from ONE person who said something so great that others wanted to trend it.

I don't know what sports you're referring to but many in soccer are pre-written. Nobody is coming up with a four sentence chant on the spot.
For example, if an opposition player who's been in the headlines for whatever reason is coming to your stadium, it's not uncommon for supporters to create a chant for him. Some of these fall flat but several of them stick.
Is it a stupid idea for wrestling? Who knows...I'm just saying that there is a precedent.

Chanting "we are awesome" makes you the complete opposite of being Awesome.

They chanted it during the Main Event.
Real classy crowd though. "You Suck Cena" directed towards Nikki Bella during the Divas Match shows there mentality.
