I can't remember a time where the crowd does thing like this before that. Maybe old school ECW was like it?

The Raw after mania crowd has been extraordinarily hype going back two decades. The only difference is the gap between who the WWE pushes and who and what the core fans want to see. The greatest trick the WWE ever pulled was branding the Raw after Mania as this rogue crowd.
The raw after mania 14 crowd was fukkin lit. That is still maybe the most important raw in history

Exactly, and the WWE came out that night after putting over the most over guy in the company and hit homerun after homerun, and committed to them long term. Now they brand their most passionate, vocal, and highest paying audience as ass backwards because they know they have zero intention of actually tapping the pulse of their product.

No, the night after WM is made up of majority crazy european fans.

Those fans at ECW ONS are the same ones from original ECW, Current ROH, and the hardcore Philly/Ny/Chicago fanbase.

You don't hear those silly songs and euro chants on any other shows besides that one and the shows in the UK

I'd argue the raw after the 1999 survivor series was just as big due to the fallout of the screwjob. Those two nights played the most key roles in establishing Austin and McMahon as major characters and their feud respectively.

This whole thing started after the People's WM at WM 28 ended with the Rock beating Cena when everyone thought Cena was gonna win. The crowd went nuts and everyone headed to the parking lot chanting Rocky like a god. But the night after, they came in chanting "YES" fanatically because Bryan got scrubbed out so Vince could have his Sheamus fetish look strong..they chanted YES during the Rock's kick off promo..the Punk match..all night...colossal pop for Bryan during the little backstage promo...insane reactions for Rocky's promo, Lesnar coming out, and Bryan in the dark match. That's how all of this started.

Grew up a ECW fan and went to a bunch of lost battalion hall shows but that crowd that night was over the top ridiculous. Especially with the "same old shyt" chant. Act like the ecw wrestlers haven't been doing the same matches and same moves with the same 3way every other show for 10+yrs lol.

They also chanted you can't wrestle to Orton but one of the most popular wrestler in ECW history the sandman can't work without gimmicks :russ:
