One of the most important things in pro wrestling to me is a crowd. A loud crowd doesn't make a good crowd. A crowd can provide negative energy and leave a bad taste when the show is over. A crowd can provide a lot of positive energy and make it much more entertaining overall. A crowd can be quiet and even if it's a great match it may seem boring because it gets no reaction. I want to give you a few examples.

That wasn't even the end. Fans decided to confront the wrestlers after the show and blocked some of them from leaving. It was an asshole crowd. I admit the show wasn't the best PPV ever, but it wasn't the worst. The crowd's actions just made it so much worse. The crowd sucked the mood out of the building by constantly cheering a guy that wasn't even there and shitting on everyone else for not being him.
Let's look at a good crowd. Let's look at Fastlane. The PPV directly after. Did the crowd boo Roman Reigns, yes. Did they chant for CM Punk, yes. They did all the same things but what they didn't do was cheer for CM Punk non stop. They didn't crap all over guys for not being CM Punk. Goldust and Stardust both got boo'd at the Royal Rumble, but not this time around. The crowd obviously had it's favorites but they weren't concerned with making themselves part of the show.

Now, let's go international. NJPW and NOAH are obviously in Japan. They have a different culture. It's obvious they'll have a different kind of fan reaction. But, they also cheer and boo too a lesser extent. However, they aren't chanting for Nakamura in every match like Daniel Bryan. They're also not chanting for KENTA to come back. Look at European crowds, they cheer what they like, boo what they don't. It's simple. They just want to have fun.
The issue could be contributed to the smarks, smart marks, or IWC. Whatever they're calling themselves these days. TNA and ROH have a lot less of these. These are the guys who read the dirtsheets all day and post theories on Reddit and Twitter about how much better they can book the show. As HHH said "Kids on the internet." I know for a fact they aren't all kids, but they act like it. Most are adults who still kick, scream and throw tantrums when it doesn't go their way. CM Punk is never coming back to the WWE. You've got to get over it, because chanting his name during every match won't bring him back. They don't want to have fun. They want to be the star of the show, control the show and have everything their way. Smarks always complain, but they're the ones who make the show worse.
