Do you ever feel bad for wrestlers who try and get the crowd going and fail?
Snitsky used to try all the time and yell "come on" when he was a face, before his big boot and get NOTHING.
The Usos always try that "when I say U, you say SOS" and pretty much get nothing. |

I feel really bad for The Usos. Not only do they get no reaction, the production team can't even be bothered piping some in for their pre-recorded show.

Yeah, Nick Dinsmore as OVW Heavyweight Champion would take the time to slap the hand of every ringside fan who held out his/her hand, and yet the crowd was absolutely silent for his offense and gave a smattering of claps during Dinsmore's "comeback" transitions. He was WAY more over as Eugene.

It's half the battle trying to get over. Sometimes you have to be put in the right place at the right time.

That is because Jey Uso has been carrying Jimmy all throughout. He would be gold as a singles wrestler.

The Uso's have great talent and ability, they're just victims of the fact that WWE hasn't really paid attention to tag team wrestling for the last couple of years.

Hmmm...sounds like WWE Creative needs to give them a comedy gimmick to get them over. Make them lovable stooges for Johnny Ace and have them where suits.
DONE. |

In terms of the original post, I sometimes kinda cringe when Alberto Del Rio comes out and doesn't get the heat you'd think he'd get with the comments he makes. Maybe it's the delivery.

Depends more on the wrestler since majority of the time its either due to the writers not giving a reason why the crowd should care or the wrestler himself/herself isn't improving enough to fix the situation.
Reks first big push failed with the crowd mainly because the writers started to randomly add him into matches he didn't belong so the crowd responded by not caring. On the other side the entire Nexus except for Wade Barrett was pretty bad with promos which is why only Barrett benefited the most in the end after the group split apart. |

You guys say "no reaction" because the whole damn arena doesn't blow the roof off like Steve Austin came in and made a surprise appearance. Make people care about the Usos, and that would get more over. They had a golden opportunity the first few times they started using the Haka*, and instead decided to throw together the random team of Sydal and Kingston to ignite the tag division. Even now, random team of Kingston/Truth are champs. The Uso's continually job. Who wants to cheer for losers? They lose all the fucking time. How is audience participation going to get any bigger when they're going to go down to the ring and lose to the next thrown together tag team? Seems simple psychology to me. And the kicker is, they use it elsewhere... example, we're supposed to care that Skippy is now a jobber murdering machine. He gets fed locals who get to cut a 30 second promo, at least 2 superstars stand by a monitor in the back to watch the impending squach match. And he wins. Imagine if they did all that production to make you pay attention that his match is next, and he kept losing? Who would care after weeks of that? Same diff. People want to care about the Usos, but they got no merch and they always lose (on important shows - Superstars and NXT do not count). This will derail any momentum they build for themselves. On topic: no, I don't feel bad for them. They're trying. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but other times it "could" work if the machine would get behind them. *Yes, I know it isn't the Haka. Deal with it, you know what I meant. !3MTA3 |

Lord Tensai gets no reaction at all other than Albert chants. They seriously need to drop the Jap Albert gimmick. Yokozuna worked bc at least he looked like a Jap.

I laugh at their failures. Hua hua hua hahaha!!!!!! But seriously the only time I notice them trying to get a reaction is when they are getting no reaction. It's called playing to the crowd. But when they try that, and still no one cares...it's time to start talking about the town their wrestling in. Cause nothin gets more heat then talking shit bout the locals.

The only guy I really feel a bit bad for, in terms of winning the crowd over, is John Cena.
He's so under-appreciated it's not even funny. He's the hardest working guy that the company has, and is the exact type of guy (in terms of integrity, character, etc.) that one should build around. He's the ultimate team guy. As the WWE moved into PG territory, Cena was forced to town down his personna and be directed more towards kids. It just sucks that most male adults absolutely despise the guy as a result. |
