Most fan chants end up being a detriment, because it devolves past the point where it means what it means, and just becomes a thing people say to interact.

For example, I'm glad that "ONE FALL" thing went away from the mainstream. It was a main-event, European thing, and when fans in EVERY promotion started doing it for EVERY match, it started losing what made it special.

Both "this is awesome" and "you deserve it" started from a place of love and used when it was warranted. Personally, I don't care that people do "you deserve it" towards a heel, but what does bother me is that it has gotten to the point of fans doing so for EVERY goddamn title change. It works when, for example, it's some guy you never thought you would ever see in WWE, let alone become a world champion because of notable reasons (AJ Styles comes to mind), but then, if Mojo Rawley became champ tomorrow, they would say the same shit and help devalue the chant. Even the gawdawful "What?" was kinda tolerable when it was limited to Steve Austin segments; the person who it pertained to. Once people started doing it ALL THE TIME is where it went to fuck off and die territory. Fans ruin all the supposedly fun shit from overuse.

A decent analogy would be if every college took other popular pregame traditions and rolled them all into a bunch of other schools. If nearly every college 1-A's band did Script Ohio, and their tunnel had a "play like a champion today" sign to pat, and then the team ran out on the field to Enter Sandman after performing a Haka, all those things would mean a lot less at the schools they originated from.
