Most silent wrestling crowd ever?

Recommended Posts

What in your opinion is the most dead, silent, and quiet crowd ever in wrestling?

 

I was watching the Unforgiven 2003 DVD the other day which inspired me to do this thread and the crowd was absolutley dead. During the IC triple threat match between Christian/Jericho/RVD, the crowd didn't pop for ANYTHING. This happened at multiples times through the night.

 

I haven't nearly seen enough to judge so what do you think it is?

Anytime WWE visits Columbus, OH. Any 1995 Show WWF put on was pretty heatless.

Anytime they're in Nassau, Long Island, it's pretty bad. They have a reputation as being one of the worst crowds in the US when it comes to being silent for 90% of the show.

Whenever the usual regulars at an NECW show aren't there (which has been happening more and more lately), and there are a bunch of newcomer fans. It just hit me last night that most of the faces I saw when I looked around I'd never seen before.

For a small indy show, the recent Chikara show with the hour and fifteen minute Torneo Cibernetica match had a crowd that was just dead silent the entire time. Eerie.

Los Angeles is also a very tough crowd. They'll pop for 1 thing MAYBE per show, but the rest is just a snore fest to them.

Tomko v Richards at this years (Unforgiven?) was pretty dead.

 

 

I remember when the WWF were bringing out that WWF Agression CD which was the theme music with Rappers doing raps over the music. I believe The Rock was having a match on Smackdown.

The theme tune starts "IF YOU SMEEELLLL!!!" and the crowd begins to pop, and then Method Man's version of the track comes over the P.A and the crowd just sort of murmoured and sat down in confusion.

It wasn't complete silence but it was pretty much as close as you're going to get for The Rock in 2000. At least they were smart enough to play his normal theme for when he won the match, which got a pop

Remember Kurt Angle's guitar riff theme? Of course you don't, they only used it twice. It's also available on the Attitude era Anthology CD (even though "Attitude" era ended in 2000).

I totally agree. I was there for a Raw show right before Survivor Series 2001, and the crowd was so dead, that during a commercial break, Paul Heyman got on the house mic and yelled at us for being so silent. It was classic.

Was that The Show that Heyman claimed that The WWE was never going to run another T.V. Taping there unless The Crowd started to make some noise?
