I think it was a mixture of things. A mixture of leftover Europeans and a pumped up American Crowd, along with a boring product that made it even easier for the fans to have more fun. That Crowd had just been to Wrestlemania the previous night, and they were expected to be entertained by Randy Orton vs Sheamus etc. It gave them an excuse to have a party.

are you trying to further the arrogant brit douche stereotype? You further the North American self-obsessed, argumentative and rude stereotype with every post you make. considering a mere 6 posts above yours i stated this to someone i was in disagreeal with: fair enough, by no means do uk crowds suck. i just didn't enjoy a lot of the comparison going on in this thread, but seeing as you agree with me on that, i can see we misunderstood each other at first. ...it's clear that you only stated those words because you felt compelled to counter argue something that didn't directly involve you to begin with. so how i am the self-obsessed, rude, and argumentative one is completely beyond me since i completely contradict your post not once but twice solely on page 3. weak sauce, pal. |

The Barrett's barmy army, Ole and Fandango theme song chants were all blatantly started by Brits. They're all very reminiscent of Football chants ( proper Football, named so because the foot touches the ball) over here.  Duh, duh, duh duh-duh duh duh, LUIS SUAREZ! Its cool though. Soccer is a cute sport. |

Yep, they could have raw there next week and the crowd would be tame. Raw was entertaining thanks to the crowd but that doesn't change that the show still wasnt good. If no crazy crowd its a pretty bad show You just described the average RAW during the attitude era. Thats what happens when there are masses of adult fans that actually care about the show, it seems way better than it is. |

TBH I never really understood why they call Football 'Soccer' down there in the great US of A... I also never understood why their American Football is called Football when most of the time the athletes are using their hands where in 'Soccer' we are only allowed to use our foot and are never allowed to use our hands unless its a throw-in. They should rename soccer back to football and they should rename their American football to rugby or they should literally just call it American Football...
Back to the topic, UK crowds are great but they have sucked in recent memory or they have been disappointing, Having the shows taped plays a part in this. Go watch the old UK PPV's Rebellion & Insurrection and see how great the UK crowds were.

I don't think it was just people from the UK I think it was even people from NJ/NY and everyone from all over the world like Canada. Most of the people who went to RAW were there all weekend long and knew it was there last night of Wrestling and if you're from a place like Canada where WWE doesn't come as often you're gonna go crazy and live up your last night the best you can and make the show amazing. I don't get why people on here say it was just the "Brits"
It was everyone in the arena not just people from the UK but there were alot of people from the UK who did make the crowd crazy but I wouldn't say it was just the UK people.

The chanting and dancing reminded me of a darts crowd from Alexandria Palace. I thought that as well! Watch below people. I was at Miami last year for Mania and Raw, wherever I turned it was British/Irish fans and that was a lively crowd. That's the thing though, when your from England like myself and wish to attend Mania then to get it at a reasonable price you need to buy the package, which includes a ticket for Raw. That arena for Raw just gone could hold around 18,000?....I bet the majority of people there had the Mania package, which or more or less the best thing to buy when you from England, Scotland, Germany, Italy. I'm sure you'll see a reaction for Fandago on the Raw in the UK like we saw on Raw Monday just gone. |
