Summerslam Crowd Reactions - Page 2

I HATED the Toronto crowd's reactions for the most part. I know people have he right to boo and cheer who they want, but trust me, Toronto's blown their chances of having the WWE back for a LONG, LONG time.

I didn't mind the booing Edge that much. He sort of played it up (digged the "I'm better than all you people ." look). I didn't like the booing Eugene part. I can tell you now, anybody who straight out boos the Eugene character has something wrong with them. I can just see someone making a "Wrestling Fans Taught to Hate Mentally Disabled!" article. Not everyone in that building hated Eugene, and they only booed him because they thoughtit was "cool". I would have laughed myself stupid if any of the commentators, really ripped into Toronto, or if all the Toronto wrestlers came out after the show and ripped into their hometown. I quite frankly wouldn't be surprised if the crowd booed their own anthem.

I'm not having a go at anyone here personally, but it was exciting at WrestleMania X8, and it was interesting during the Edge/Jericho/Batista match (for the most part, it was still cruel, though), but during the Eugene/Triple H match it disgusted me. He are two guys working their asses off, clearly playing the good guy/bad guy role, they spelt it out, and I don't think Eugene Dinsmore could have been acted out by anyone but Nick Dinsmore. I was a little upset at the end result of the match, but what really got me was that the crowd was BOOING this pure good guy type character. Noone else boos him, but Toronto has the need to. This told me that they don't hate Eugene, but they thought it would be cool to boo a mentally disabled person.

Those people paid good money to get into the arena, only to make fun of the wrestlers' hard work? I think they thought they could start some automatic turns by playing up. Hulk Hogan became cheered massively after WMX8, but I hope Eugene gets a massive face ovation too.

I think it would have been suitable to cheer the heels (save Triple H, maybe), but straight out booing the faces? I disagree with this completely. I'd say Toronto won't be hosting a major WWE PPV for a while.
