And we’re seeing that.
    Even AEW, when everyone was saying they wouldn’t sell 20,000 at Wembley, being an English man, I knew they’d probably either sell it out or get close to it - not because everyone going is a die hard AEW fan boy, not at all, but simply because (at the time) everyone saw it as being a one-off show that they’d probably never see again

    The crowd was hot and it was great...at times.
    Them singing the themes was great, them popping for everything was great.
    In the Bloodline vs Orton and Owens match, they were great.
    ...then came the Triple Threat and the "Heeeeey Bayley" chant came back up, which got a bit annoying after they started it up for the THIRD time in a short span, but not too bad.
    Then came Priest/Jey and this is where the "Simplement deux! clap clap clapclapclap" started to get annoying, because it was about the 40th time I'd heard it that night.
    Come the Woman's Tag Match, the crowd was still hot and it was only annoying the "Simplement deux! clap clap clapclapclap" again.
    Then came the Main Event and I had to watch the last half on mute. Between the "Simplement deux! clap clap clapclapclap", which they did ANOTHER twenty plus times and the "Il est vraiment ! Il est vraiment ! Il est vraiment phénoménal lalalalalalaaa" that they did every time Styles would mount any sort of offense (about twenty times), it just got to be too much.
    If you ever got annoyed because you heard "Let it Go" from Frozen too many times, it's exactly like that. It has nothing to do with how "hot" the audience is, Repetition breeds annoyance.
    It's the same thing as when American audiences chant "What?".

      The saddest thing was the random other customer mock-challenging Drunk Grandpa to a fight in the parking lot, on behalf of the employees. Flair trying to do a "Travis Bickle" tough guy act while barely being able to stand... Imagine the guy we saw "intervene" in the last Sting matches, whose chops couldn't swipe a coffee cup off a table anymore, trying to fight somebody that is thirty or forty years younger and reasonably able-bodied, _for real_ ?
      If Flair wasn't such an insufferable, delusional, abusive asshole, I'd feel sorry for him. Geriatric alcoholism is tragic.

    I think that crowd works for big stadium European soccer games but was highly disrespectful to the wrestlers trying to concentrate on their craft. The crowd was more into their selves than what they paid to see for entertainment. I think it was too disrespectful. I think that Japan audiences are often TOO respectful. US crowds are usually just right. It could be a little bit rowdier like it was in the late 90s, but I think that culture has to be artificially recreated somehow. Perhaps with more/better hype-men in-between matches and during commercial breaks and also more allowances for, and encouragement of signage would work?

    The reason Cody didn't get the title last year is because they had no heels for him to feud with.
    They still don't really have any heels for him to feud with besides Gunther (who you can't have lose after losing at Mania, so not yet) but the change cannot be delayed any longer, so here we are.
    Hence the only solution is to leverage live-starved international crowds who are sure to cheer. The idea is that stateside fans (who might gradually react differently) and stockholders are then socially engineered with an "everything is in fact, okay" attitude by witnessing this, and ignore the thought that continues to nag at them which is: "Why did AJ challenge for the belt when he lost at Mania? Why did L.A Knight and AJ have a rematch when there was already a clear winner? Why was the notion of a singles match at Mania permanently devalued, moving forward?"
    Once again, not enough main event heels. Not enough main event heels because you had a long-standing (heel) champ with both belts. Even without that it's always been a problem. Hogan is a guy who understood this main event problem, which is why he constantly was trying to invent the next big bad. But today, with no territory system anymore to pick out the next nasty heel, and Vince having been allergic to "making" anyone for the last 15 years out of the fear that they will then leave like Rock did, the problem is far, far worse. So, us non-international (i.e., American and Canadian fans) are made to tolerate this situation by watching other countries have their live event scarcity being leveraged against poor long-term booking quality.
    It is going to take a lot of book creativity and a lot of hardcore fans "looking the other way" in order to get Cody a reign that lasts beyond Summerslam. And, if it's only going to last until Summerslam...what have we been doing for the last two years anyway? If am Cody I am being VERY careful in the ring from now on, because one way the company can be saved from this corner they have booked themselves into is for Cody to get injured again.
