Alexa Bliss and the WHAT chants

This may be opening myself up to be blasted, but I was one of the people who chanted, "what," and I want to explain my perspective. Now, personally, I've never minded the what chant as a viewer at home. I feel like it very rarely happens during a good promo. I know that people are high on Alexa right now, but I don't think her promo was well scripted at all. If you go back and watch the video of it, you'll notice that we didn't immediately start chanting, but after it became apparent that this was going to be a very meandering and generic promo with a lot of dramatic pauses, the chant did start. I took it to be a way of saying, "What's your point?" She's giving a promo about wrestlers coming out and giving promos. I found that to be very contrived, and the cadence kind of invited a chant. Maybe other people were just trying to be funny, but for me it went beyond that to expressing my boredom with what she went out to say. If you already hate the chant, then I can see how it might bother you, but I felt that it was appropriate, and it was honestly the only way I could stay engaged with what she had to say, which is the main reason I chanted. I wasn't being entertained.
