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.

To be fair, most fans didnt know Booger when we was active, let alon 10 years later.

Probably the Steve Blackman pop. Also, since i didn't know so many knew about him, CM Punk when he debuted in the WWE.

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 ![]() |

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

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.

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.
![]() 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? |

I remember back in 2001 when X-Pac had been off TV for a few months (4 months?), he got a pretty nice face pop when he returned (at a house show against Bossman).
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. ![]() 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 ![]() |
