Why do Japanese crowds sit in silence while watching wrestling? The only noise they make is a polite clap after a spot or sequence like they are watching golf or tennis. It's very bizarre and off-putting.
>>16073148they dont know what they're watching
>not even allowed to stand up during entrances because they might offend someone or whatever
>>160731481000x better than chanting for meat or booing the face and making the match about themselves
Watch good matches, anon.Hell, go watch Zack vs Naito just from two days ago.They were gasping in panic every time there was a submission attempt. When was the last time you saw American crowds do that?The "clap politely" shit has always been a cope designed to make the gaijin feel better if they weren't over.
they see yelling shit during the matches as a form of bullying
>>16073148That's because modern Japanese wrestling sucks balls now and the demographic changed drastically thanks to that. Watching Inoki, Choshu, Fujinami and the Three Musketeers matches, the crowd used to be white hot.
nothing better than seeing the japanese scatter when these dudes go out into the crowd to fight
>>16073204Didn't Japanese fans burn down the building when Inoki lost a match?
>>16073148This is only true for joshi crowds because the audience is comprised completely of creepy middle aged single men.
glad we nuked these faggots
>>16073148they were not allowed to exile too much during covid
>>16073148Because
when did that start exactly, i've been delving in 80s japanese stuff and they had ruckus crowds back then
They don't and you've never watched Japanese wrestling before.
>>16073343I'm literally watching it right now.
>>16073210they rioted because they got bait and switched on a big inoki/choshu match that went 6 minutes into a fuck finish where they had vader show up randomly right after to squash inoki
>>16073197But smacking the shit out of someone and trying to twist their foot off your ankle isn't a form of bullying?
>>16073292no wonder hogan is alive and well and this nigger is dead. he thought wrestling was a shoot.
>>16073204Chono vs Onita at the Tokyo was wild. Just walking to the ring and sitting on a chair got the crowd worked into such a seethin, bubblin, maldin shoot that they were throwing cups of piss at onita and fighting security to try and attack him.Schway
>>16073148Cultural differences. They take wrestling differently and seriously compared to the West.>>16073204Also this
>>16073148why in the flying fuck ameriturds clap while watching a movie at the cinema?
>>16073332Covid fucked them up. For a long time after crowds were brought back fans were forbidden from cheering. It also doesn't help that many of their top stars have left for the big American promotions.
>>16073466Do American's really?
>>16073148They're waiting respectfully for Chris Masters.
>>16073466Two rupees have been deposited into your account. Thank you indian anon
>>16073502fraid so
>>16073148If you want a good match with a hot crowd unlike modern nujamal and their towel waving fans, check out Danny Krofat/Doug Furnas vs Kobashi/Kikuchi
>>16073148the ironic thing is that Sumo, which is a more traditional and prestigious sport in Japan, has crowds that go absolutely apeshit when something cool happens
