And almost every post questioning the fact that metsfans posts are mostly bullshit is downvoted, squaredcircle is really desperate to have an 'insider'.
It's fine, I like a crowd that's excited and into every level of the product.

The only question is whether or not these pirates eventually contribute to LU financially. I know I haven't yet, but I love the product. I'd pay 5 bucks a month if they put the show up on the El Rey website each week. I also wanna buy one of their t-shirts, though I'm not sure how much that helps them directly.

Wait, your blog posts were of a pirated version?
There's a reason he was just some reddit poster with a username.
Do you really sit there "cringing" in your chair? It's a lame chant, who cares?
Beats the usual chant of "......." on RAW.
marking out chants are horrible.
i jokingly said "marking out" during WK9 on the wrassle nerdchat with frens freck and heel, only for Matt Fucking Stricker to actually yell out "MARKING OUT BRO" live on the broadcast. Almost ruined the ending.
Hell if only 1 guy actually ever contributed to them financially directly, thats 1 more than they would have had otherwise. The El Rey ratings at this point are like what in the 30k range? They just need people talking about them and the stuff theyre doing. Then you'll get people who already have El Rey but didn know what LU is tuning in, and so on and so forth.

if given opportunity to access with ease, im sure many would.

Mr. Macmahon is your musical blind date one of the Disney castoffs? Not Miley tier but one of the lesser ones?
A wrestling crowd just wants to suspend their belief a bit and enjoy the show. And it isn't even that hard to get a crowd like that all riled up. Though sometimes the Full Sail can be doofuses, they're pretty good. I argue they had a hand in giving Tyson Kidd a resurgence of his career last year when he was ranting with Neville just before they were going to fight in Takeover 1 on 1 for the belt. The crowd couldn't help themselves and started chanting "FACT!"... months later, that single word helped Tyson in his promos and even he came out with those absurd tights during Takeover Fatal Four way. He's awesome and part of the reason is that crowd.
Really sums him up. He'll 'report' anything that gets fed to him, then claim that only the ones he gets right count. 'People took to Twitter right away and put words in my mouth.' Yeah right dude, don't know why people are acting like you know anything other than the fact you purport to be an insider at every opportunity.

Wow, and people are still arguing over who it is in the comments. That's fascinating.

Great point.
PM me who it is, I'll keep a secret and tell people if it's worth them wondering over.
This actually happened?
I don't even remotely get why people hate on the Full Sail crowd. Active crowd > inactive crowd in every single way. The only time Raw's crowds get good at all are usually when they get into a smarkier area, otherwise the crowds on main shows just sit on their hands and occasionally throw the Lets Go Cena / Cena Sucks chant around.

Nah, I seriously can't. No offense.
Like R. Kelly, I'm going to keep it on the down low. nobody has to know.
It's Ronald Isley aka Mr. Biggs
People wouldn't be reading these threads or other websites or actively scanning The Rock's Instagram and Twitter feed to know he's in Philly the night before the Rumble if that was the case. Among countless other instances of self-spoiling.
Internet wrestling fans want both at the same time.

He then got super pissy and mad when they did. It was always about his ego and knowing better than everyone else, being all satisfied when he was right.
While I usually agree with you, there comes a point when the crowd is trying to get itself over instead of the wrestling....and Full Sail regulars cross that line every now and then.
I give you exhibit A, the Family Guy knee chant:

People are critical of like 90% of crowds, if they're too into it, if they cheer the faces, if they're quiet, etc.
Because people seem to think way too hard about the "character" of a crowd like it's a single person, personally out to annoy them. They act like there's some kind of agenda in the crowd.
This fucking "they're trying to get themselves over!!!" obsession is stupid, too. What does that even mean?

I personally don't like to know, and don't actively seek out spoilers/instagram/twitter posts. Sadly, others do - even the WWE. I realise it's a lost cause, but I try my best to allow myself to be surprised. The best instance of this was several years ago when TNA had a huge superstar announcement. A friend and I went 'dark' for a week and watched the reveal together to find out it was Kurt Angle, it was pretty exciting (if now sad in hindsight).

Damn that was good.
Actually, in a case like Full Sail where you have the same people that attend every taping, there is a character to those crowds.
Also....they do that at Full Sail, see the Family Guy knee chant I linked to above. It got to the point that even the wrestlers (Seth Rollins I think) called them out on it in an off the air segment.
You can barely make out this chant, it's glorified ambient crowd noise to me. The Full Sail crowd also booed the fuck out of people who tried to start "WE WANT KENTA" and "CM PUNK" chants at recent shows too. So they aren't that bad.
If this was the Attitude Era I wonder if people would claim that the "crowd was trying to get themselves over" when chanting YOU SUCK during Angle's theme or ASSHOLE for every heel promo ever. Or for "WHAT"-ing wrestlers during promos.
The Family Guy chant is not them "trying to get themselves over" (whatever the fuck that means), it's them having fun amongst themselves by joining in on a chant that was probably funny to do in the building, even if it comes off as dumb on TV. Like the "JBL" announcer chants on main roster crowds, that's a bored crowd looking for something to do, and yeah, they're lame chants, but it's probably different when you're in the crowd.
Ascribing these weird ulterior motives to crowds makes little sense to me.

I think people are too hard on the Full Sail crowd - at their worst, they're still excitable and into the product they're following in a big way, which is all any promoter could want from their audience. You're never going to find a perfect crowd.

The family guy chant is one of the funniest things they've done.

It's the desperate need to feel like they're a part of the product that gets me. Like when they booed a Kenta chant and drowned it out with Hideo. Because they have to protect the character. Because they're part of NXT. No, fools, you're essentially at weekly screenings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
