WWE’s 5 Worst Fan-Created Chants

3. *Chant a Random Wrestler Not Involved in the Match*
I get it, sometimes WWE booked a Kane vs. Erick Rowan match that maybe one person in the entire crowd was super pumped to see. In those very rare cases, fans should show their displeasure in the match-up and entertain themselves by any means necessary. Unfortunately, this type of control is impossible and fans have used this kind of chant far too often for matches (or wrestlers) that don’t deserve it.
Most recently, TJ Perkins took on Tony Nese in a fine match that fans decided to dump on by chanting “CM Punk” and “Randy Savage.” Just because you don’t know some newer wrestlers doesn’t mean it’s time to get your smark on and chant for people (for their respective reasons) who will never come back to WWE. It’s incredibly disrespectful for the people in the ring, who are out there taking risks for the live crowd’s enjoyment. I know it sounds preachy, but imagine being at work and having clients or customers constantly calling for other workers and not giving any reason why, you might get a little peeved after awhile.
Anyways, outside of a Chicago crowd, the CM Punk one is becoming simply a joke now. What once was a chant in support of Punk has now become the anthem for “I’m bored.” What’s wrong with just cheering and booing? Go watch Backlash and see how the Richmond, Virginia crowd acted, they made nearly every match feel like a big deal by appreciating, booing, and cheering the action going on in front of their eyes.
