For those who saw Bad Blood in a bar...

[Guest JHawk]

Just like the title says, what were the reactions in the bars that you guys saw Bad Blood at?

 

At my bar, the crowd shit on the DQ in the I-C Title match, was split in the Flair-HBK (mostly for Flair) and Goldberg-Jericho matches, and didn't give a shit about anybody but Foley in the main event. And they were pretty silent the rest of the show.

 

What about you guys?

I saw it at a bar and the reactions were pretty good.

 

The biggest pops in the bar were, Goldberg's win, Flairs win, and The "pie" eating contest.

 

The first two I agreed on. I was hiding my eyes the rest of the time.

this was probably the lowest turnout at the sportsbar yet. People were pretty lackluster, throughout the whole show.

I saw the PPV with a bunch of friends, including some members of this board. I've never seen people laugh harder then when Stiener tripped. Everything else blew, and we popped in some Backyard wrestling tapes after the show ended, and got more entertainment out of some goofy kids hitting each other with metal pans and taking bumps on piss-stained mattresses.

The crowd at my Hooters:

 

- Booed the IC Title finish.

 

- Was silent throughout the HBK/Flair match and then booed that finish too.

 

- Silent for HHH/Nash, Test/Steiner(although they laughed their asses off when Steiner slipped), RAW Tag Title match, Dudleys/Black-n-White.

 

- Cheered when Goldturd won.

 

- Almost threw up when Mae did the Bronco Buster.

True dat.

All our bars show legit sports, unfortunately.

[Guest Pegasus Kid]

the only matches that didn't get a reaction from the bar patrons around us were the opener and the tag titles match.

 

Biggest reactions:

 

- Steiner falling (that is one of the greatest fuck ups I've seen in years)

 

- Christian's brilliant cheating to win (OK so everyone except our "smart" table hated it)

 

- Mae Young Bronco Buster (it was like a combination of disgust and tear inducing laughter rolled into one)

 

- Orton's LEVELING Michaels with the chair

 

- Goldberg's Spear - Jackhammer

 

- Just about everything from HHH hitting Nash with a wrench until the end had the entire bar going nuts.

 

- I'd say the crowd was about 70:30 in favour of the show. Lots of "that was fun" comments from various people as we were filing out.

At La Skratch in Nepean, Ontario...

 

- Crowd was silent for the first couple of matches, but laughed when Steiner tripped.

 

- Mae Young's act either had chuckles of laughter or total groans of disgust, depending on which section of the bar.

 

- A fan's "Big Lazy" sign during the HHH-Nash match got one of the biggest reactions from the bar.

 

- HBK's plancha got a great reaction.

 

- The pig pen blowoff got a "whatever" reaction.

 

- HHH's win was met with a "WOW, what a surprise" reaction. Seriously, all the marks in the world are starting to have the same feelings of HHH as the rest of us.

 

Overall, sounded like more disapproval than approval, for sure. I saw WrestleMania at the same place, and the reaction was naturally 50x better there...
