Just started watching the first ROH Japan show, seen the opening match and bit of the third match (skipped the second match, had no ROH guys in it).
It's just meh. No crowd reaction at all. They just clap. I know it's a foreign country so they cannot chant much but 'oooohing' and 'aahhhing' would still be cool. And stamping feet and banging stuff. It's what i love about ROH, the passion.
Even it was loads of near falls, nothing. Even when like Evans got dropped on his head...nothing. How lame is that?

As far as I know the audience's in Japan are very quiet and polite, I do not think they get riled up for anything.

The Japanese fans pay attention to the match, rather than making fools out of themselves with stupid chants.

I love the passion to from the ROH fans but is that really gonna ruin the show for you? If so that's pretty sad considering the wrestling is still good. I'd rather have a quite crowd than have a fat obnoxious guy yelling stupid shit.

Japanese crowds are completely different from American crowds. I still have to check out the Dragon Gate show but the NOAH show was pretty good from what I have seen of it.

I know my loss and everything. I love the good matches but i like to see the crowd get into it. Makes me do the same and sort of be on the edge of my seat like the crowd.
In Japan they just sit and clap every now and again at random things.

Random things? Usually they clap when they see a good wrestling move.

This isnt really to quote you, but your sig is badass. I like Japanese shows. Sometimes the yelling and noise from crowds gets old. Especially at ROH shows where some guy(just 1) will start trying to chant but it's obviously not working so he shuts up. People dont stand up to block your view either, everyone sits. I see it as a much more respectful country than a boring one. Thinking about it, a company that celebrates honor in wrestling, having the most respectful crowd, makes sense. |

Ya'll must not be seeing the right matches.
Try something epic and huge, something main-event of an established Puro fed. For example, Kobashi/Rikio from 3/5/05 had the crowd practically rabid when it got good.
Most of the time Japan crowds ARE very quiet and respectful, but they've got some fire in them no doubt. It just comes out in big matches with established/legend-status stars.

Cheering, chanting, and having a good time shows just as much respect towards the performers as sitting there quietly observing... |

Just curious, because I don't see that anywhere... |

Just curious, because I don't see that anywhere... I like to call it reading between the lines. You're saying most ROH/american fans lack the knowledge to be polite and respectful at wrestling events. I merely pointed out that while Japanese fans culturally make it a priority to be 'polite', the way of showing 'respect' changes with culture. You seem to think if ROH/american wrestling fans aren't being 'polite and respectful' just like the Japanese fans, they lack the knowledge to do so. That is where the implication of superiority comes in... |
