NXT UK Takeover Blackpool and British Wrestling Crowds

Alright, so if people don't like watching British based shows because of the crowd I can't really blame them. There are times where I watch an American show and something about the crowd will just rub me the wrong way because it's different to my culture. And the vibe from the crowd, while i have no real criticism of it, is I think what takes me out watching Lucha, it just feels too different for me. The atmosphere from the fans is important to a show and if you don't like it that's fair.

However, to say that British fans aren't paying attention is annoyingly ignorant. Singing is how we (mostly the working class) show we're into a sporting event, whether it be wrestling, football, boxing or rugby. Even our most egregious seeming ones, the stuff that happens any time zack gibson shows up and I'm going to assume was the issue (but I haven't seen the takeover or this review so if I'm wrong sorry) stems from how much we get invested in Gibson's character and is us showing that by interacting with him.
