Is wrestling better when the crowds are smarky and shitchant everything (ECW, early 2010s WWE), or when they play their part in the show (AEW, modern Indies)?
>>21480180AAA has the best crowds.
>>21480180Wrestling is best when the audiences are like they are in Japan. Mostly quiet and out of the way, not trying to get themselves over, but piping hot when good shit is going on.
I don’t think the critically acclaimed aew house style exists if you have fans that shit on everything that looks overly fake or botches.
>>21480232When you watch actually good Japanese wrestling, the crowds are nothing like you describe
>>21480329They're not piping hot when good shit is going on?
>>21480180AEW has the smarkiest crowd in wrestling they just get what they want so they don't rebel often. 2010s WWE had that because they were the only game and the smarks had nothing else to watch even if they hated it.
>>21480329I need to find the match again and find the greater context but I remember seeing a big Japan show with men’s teioh in some tag match in the middle of the card, and the crowd went fucking ballistic when ever he locked on his octopus stretch.

>>21480216This. AAA fans don't have to fake it. They still believe in wrestling.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wlr5cEFIYo
ECW crowds had fun and fucked around but played their part when the show was good which is objectively the correct way.
>>21480180crowds that enjoy the show and don’t spend their whole time distracting from the show by trying to hijack it or get the camera to focus on the crowd are the best crowds. unfortunately they’re few and far between.
>>21480584that's fucking gay, I miss when the crowds were assholes to the faggot wrestlers
