Has anyone ever wondered if certain 'fans' in the audience we see on Raw, or PPVs are actually hired by the WWE to be there, and to cheer on certain wrestlers to get the fans to cheer them on?? Case in point, this guy.... He seems to show up on every PPV and and a lot of Raw shows in the past 2 years and the camera always seems to find him. Do you think he is an actual real fan who pays his hard earned money - and takes time off from work - to go to these WWE shows, and travel for them non stop?? Or do you think he is a WWE hired fan who gets paid to be at the shows each week??

Those fans , like Brock Lesnar guy, have to have some connections within the WWE. I've tried to get front row seating at events, months in advance without care for cost, and it's nearly impossible. Yet there are people who are there every event at different arenas. Not saying they are compled but in guessing they got an inside track on ticketing.

Plus Stevie Richards said in his shoot interview with RF Video, that during CM Punk's WWECW days in 2008 and such, that there would be fans who would sit in the front row and cheer him on, and then after his match, leave and go to the back, Stevie found out they were WWE employed 'fans' who were hired to cheer on certain guys to get them over. Which makes me think that a lot of these fans we see on a regular basis, and who the camera always seems to find, are employed by WWE in some way.

The hard camera side front row is always changing especially during big shows like Mania. Just look at MITB 11' that entire row becomes Punks friends (Cabana and Ace Steele and his family) before the main event and at Mania 29 the same happened during the pre show Miz had some friends/family sitting there.

If WWE doesn't have paid fans yet, they'll probably get some for Roman Reigns now.

That Brock Lesnar guy is a ing prick too! Ran into him at summerslam access in 2013. Just a rude, pretty much stuck up ass.

If you're telling me that there is a job that involves sitting in the front row for multiple WWE events and PPV's and cheering.....
Where can I apply?

He was front row at TLC and a couple camera guys came up and talked to him. If you watched raw he was on the aisle of the ramp and was shown clapping for new day.

And how does the camera know to get his reaction (especially during the Lesnar debut back in 2012) without him NOT being a planted fan?? Cause the camera just happens to be on him when Lesnar comes out?? I really doubt that.

Only reason I know about TLC is because I was 2nd row behind him just to the right and saw it happen.

I also can vouch for him being a douche
Didn't want to talk to anyone not afflieated with WWE.
Sign Guy is a legit superfan. He pays his own way to every show.

Brock Lesnar shirt guy!!! I'm not really excited, I think this guy is a clown. He tries to get himself over on TV every time he's at an event. He's got like bleacher report articles and other nonsense now too. Just what he needs, encouragement.
I've seen tie die guy a bunch of times too. That guy doesn't bother me. He usually holds up stupid signs or gets drunk and yells ridiculous stuff, which I can appreciate.
But yeah, I chalk that up more to being a "stalker fan" than an audience plant. Although, I'm sure WWE has stand-in fans when necessary.
