Most Surprising Pop
Because of Boot camp and a deployment being back to back, I pretty much missed everything that happened between HBK coming back and winning the title, and Orton Getting turned on by Evolution....Wow that sounded kind of gay.
Anywho, I have been downloading alot of what I missed, and I just now saw the Royal Rumble (2003 I think) where Curt Henning returned as Mr. Perfect. When his music hit the crowd blew up, and when he hit the perfect plex the same. Now I love Curt and all, but I just didnt think he would get that big a reaction from a WWE crowd 12 years after he was last around. DIdnt think the youngins would know his greatness. Anywho, has anything ever surprised you like that? |
I was surprised Bastion Booger appearing at Raw didn't get MORE of a pop. It's hard to tell what a real pop is nowadays, with reactions being edited and all. A recent one would be CM Punk at Survivor Series 06.

Steve Blackman on Monday surprised me, I also forgot how much I liked his music.
|
Probably the Steve Blackman pop. Also, since i didn't know so many knew about him, CM Punk when he debuted in the WWE.
|
I know this is about surprise pops, but Jericho's return pop was shit.
|
At Survivor Series 2001, during the WWF/Alliance battle royal, Billy Gunn was one of the last guys in the ring with Test. He went on a pretty impressive flurry of offense and the crowd was absolutely eating him up. Then he got big booted and eliminated, giving Test the win.
I don't know why, but that odd huge pop for Gunn's offense always stuck with me. |
Yeah CM Punk's pop at Survivor Series 06 springs to mind straight away.
Some of Jimmy Wang Yang's pops surprised me as well. BTW; It was Royal Rumble '02 when Hennig returned :y: |

On the flip side of the coin, I was surprised that DiBiase got almost no reaction on Monday.

CM Punk out poping DX last year :shifty:
|
Christian when he said "That's How I Roll" for first time in that promo that Vince interrupted. Even McMahon looked surprised at the crowds reaction.

Strawbery crepes. |
Those tiny pancake things?
|
Yeah they're like thin pancakes. Its just a french word for them
|
Then why don't they call them French Pancakes?
Or Freedom Cakes? |
CM Punk's reaction at Survivor Series '06 was pretty fucking great. It was hilarious to hear his name chanted over everyone else in the ring, despite being the new guy. Triple H also had to bring Punk into his shtick. Then Punk got jobbed out to Hardcore Holly and was first eliminated from the Extreme Elimination Chamber the following month. :lol:
Steve Blackman's pop on RAW surprised the fuck out of me. I mean, these are fans who don't know who Chris Jericho and Ted DiBiase are, yet they pop for Steve? |

Man, the WWE dropped the ball with Christian so bad. |

To me - it was pretty surprising since X-Pac had been garnering pretty huge "X-Pac sucks!" chants. To this day, I still think X-Pac was more over than most people are willing to give credit. I don't think "X-Pac heat" was anywhere near as bad as people made it out to be. X-Pac was over with the fans. |
I definitely agree with that ^
He got big face-pops during like 98/99. He's really not THAT bad, he's probably in TPWW's top 5 most hated but he's really not so bad IMO. So yeah watching old videos after reading the hatred of X-Pac on this site and hearing the pops he got were quite surprising. Also Ken Shamrock used to get some nice face pops. |
X PAC was fucking HUGE with DX. He was a top face in a time with the big names.
Bu after DX, thats when the X Pac Heat started. |
In relation to the 15th show (since that seems to be a theme in this thread), I was honestly surprised at how big a pop Lita got vs. Trish, considering the fan reactions on their way out seemed much different. I remember Trish going out with a huge crowd ovation whereas Lita (mostly due to the Edge/Matt thing) had seemingly lost a lot of respect from the fans. Fast-forward to RAW XV, and you have Trish interrupting Jillian to what sounded like a silent crowd, followed by Lita's music hitting for 1 second and the crowd erupted.
|
Yeah, CM Punk's pop at Survivor Series last year sticks out as the most surprising one I can remember.
Whenever I think about that match though, I always think about HBK eliminating Mike Knox and then asking the rest of his team who it was he just eliminated. :lol: HHH: "Mike Knox... Mike Knox, he's from ECW.... huh?... no, he was part of the match." |

Kurt Angle at New Year's Revolution. The Undertaker vs Batista at this year's Mania got far more pops than the Cena vs HBK match. Triple-H at No Way Out 03. Cena
at Judgement Day 05. Rvd and Booker used to get poor crowd reactions back as mid-carders on RAW. |
Skull, i dont think the crowd 'erupted' for Lita at XV.
RVD & Book, at one point, were getting some of the biggest pops on RAW. Still can't believe Book didn't go over at WM '03 :n: |
