So this happened at the Smackdown taping, but as it's not part of the TV show, it's not a spoiler...
But halfway through the show, Vince walked out onto the stage and ranted at the crowd for sucking, and told them to have fun and said Liverpool sounds like the name of an old person's skin disease.
Video:
After a totally dead first hour, I mean crowd unbelievably dead, Vince McMahon came out for a cameo and berated us all for being a dead crowd, and told us to have some fun dammit. He mocked the crowd & City name & said other UK cities were louder. This was a quick 2 min promo on the stage and not taped for tv. Never seen this happen at a taping before, which shows how bad it was.
"Um, uh, well you know, it's, uhhh, um, and - and - and here's... well, uh, it's, ummm, y’know, again, I mean - umm" - Dave Meltzer Radio
This was hilarious, I'm sorry. I don't understand the "where's our network" chants because anyone around the world can get the network quite easily with something that most people should know about but I'm not gonna name here.
Yeah, they chanted "Where's our Network" through the whole first segment. Of course, that will be edited out in favor of Smackdown cheers, the same cheers you've heard every Friday night the past 8 years.
This is interesting. Vince is going batcrap crazy though and it's a combination of hilarious and hard to watch. Liverpool won't be getting a TV taping for a long time.

Not a big deal. Vince was just working the audience.
I do think audiences have gotten progressively worse in a number of places, and it ruins the show. I really do think it's a matter of "just have fun, damn it!" Me and my buddy get two drinks each and 30 mins into the show everything is awesome. Too many fans go to live events looking to watch the show the same way they watch Raw every week, like a cynical assh*le. It's a shame because live events should make you feel like a kid again imo. The kids and families don't really know how to react and cheer for stuff because the older audience isn't teaching them. Things like clapping when a guy is trying to get free from a hold, boo and cheer punches, buildup sounds to moves, I mean there are a bunch of nuances the fans used to lend to the experience and that's a thing of the past.
I do think WWE needs to try harder, but so do the fans.
