10 Biggest WWE Hometown Pops

[@RazorFoxDV]

Honorable mention for Batista at SummerSlam 2005. It was held in his hometown of Washington DC. I don't know how it came across on TV but I happened to be in the audience for this event and the pop when he was introduced was deafening.

[@franklinpac4406]

Pittsburgh is Steel City, Philadelphia is The City of Brotherly Love

[@karebair57]

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed this.

[@JC71]

Whatever.

[@InfectedChris]

@@JC71 No you

[@SteRDLK]

Sheffield is the real Steel City

[@MichaelWarbux]

As a guy from Pittsburgh, we aren't the City of Brotherly Love, that's Philadelphia. We love Kurt Angle!

[@eaglesviper79]

I’m glad someone said something.

[@timepoet77]

Right on.

[@paulyounker8848]

RIGHT!!! Get you facts straight when your talking about the burg

[@clintdeangelis5082]

A proud yinzer and Kurt Angle fan here!

[@saxonjf]

I find it humorous that he purposely got the Borough MSG was in wrong, but then turned around and made a genuine mistake at referring to the Steel City with Philadelphia's nickname.

[@daltonpinell6251]

I got a pop in my hometown, but was my knee instead of an audience

[@theram8468]

It took me a second to get it. Ouch!

[@jeezshabazz5074]

😂😂😂😂me too brotha

[@matthewlane518]

Me too but it was a police officers gun that made the pop

[@dannysormaz2283]

Only pop I got when I popped a zit . 😆

[@MadManMaloney]

What a coincidence, same here, just mine was my back.

[@matthewburr5075]

It’s sad knowing that Bret is the last of the Hart Foundation that’s still alive 😢

[@derekpoydence]

Like him or hate him, Ryback had an absurd pop and crowd reaction in Vegas as a heel, tagging with Orton and Curtis Axel.. The WWE couldn’t hide it 😅

[@mattalan6618]

Don't you mean diet Goldberg

[@jesschamp6521]

I'm not the only who knew CM Punk would be number one on this list

[@zlinedavid]

Punk could legit run for mayor of Chicago and win.

[@jasonmccrank4981]

It's wrong. Bret and The Hart Foundation's reaction in Calgary was infinitely better.

[@kenshinhimura719]

Carlito in Puerto Rico was loud

[@p.l.537]

10:10. I was at that PPV. The ovation that the Hart Foundation received was DEAFENING! And the Saddledome was shaking. It was awesome!

[@ABIT-cb1qh]

Samy Zayn this year's Elimination Chamber PLE at Montreal.

[@davefogle7747]

City of Brotherly love is Philadelphia, Pittsburgh is the Steel City

[@TheDavieSeal]

No Trish Stratus last match? The pop when she locks in the sharpshooter is insane!

[@kprnr7140]

Ayr is too small for a WWE show but Glasgow erupted when Mcintyre made his entrance. Unknown fact, my Aunty was in Drews year at school. I believe she was in history and Chemistry with him.

[@MoSidd98]

she was in history and chemistry or had history and chemistry 😏

[@EliteY33t2]

People hated Cena but when he came back from an injury those pops were unmatched

[@ahmadceasar5484]

Bad bunny had one of the greatest entrances I've ever seen

[@ryan10057]

great part about bryans is you can tell some of the guys thought it was amazing and jbls reaction was class

[@HisVirusness]

What makes #1 hilarious to me is that not only is CM Punk from a town miles away from Chicago, but the Allstate Arena isn't even in Chicago, either. It's in a village called Rosemont, which is why it used to be called the "Rosemont Horizon". It was made even funnier when he was in AEW, and they'd book a card that was billed to be from Chicago, but took place in a village called Hoffman Estates: An hour drive outside of Chicago's city limits. Just like with Buzz from Home Alone, it always seems to be the weird suburbanites who drape the Chicago flag on their wall.

[@FleaRHCP97]

Let it go, man lol

[@stitchintime626]

Very true, and you also just taught me that Hoffman is indeed a village. I have lived near it my whole life and never knew that.

[@shanestephens4728]

Buzz, your girlfriend .. WOOF

[@GabbyJFS_02]

Bc no one knows about the Chicago suburbs and areas surrounding it outside of Illinois. You want to tell people from California you’re from Naperville or Lockport? They just stare at you blankly. “I’m near Chicago” makes more sense.

As a Yinzer in Pittsburgh, we are NOT city of brotherly love. That’s Philthydelphia

[@M0HN]

As a corn fed boy from Lancaster, hour outside of Philly, dont steal our brotherly love

I'm slightly offended about them calling us the city of brotherly love. Makes me want to go set the Flyers on fire.

The crazy part is Austin gets hometown pops in any city

[@JacksonBivens]

If I was a pro wrestler, I can only imagine how my hometown crowd would react when my music hits. *’Falling Apart’ by TRUST*CO plays. *Heritage Bank Centre erupts *Samantha Irvin: from CINCINNATI, OH! Weighing 210 pounds. He is the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Jax “Wolfman” Bivens!

[@zanethind]

That Raw 2013 segment is goated! One of the best moments in Raw history I've ever seen

[@VicDeMizer]

I remember a RAW I went to a number of years ago when Jack Swagger was still with WWE and doing his "We the people" gimmick with Zeb...well, during his match it went to commercial break and Zeb gets on the mic talking about "He's your hometown hero" and all that...yes, it was in Oklahoma...but. no. one. cared.

[@LordKellicos]

Not only did Shawn Michaels spend the majority of his youth in San Antonio, but he still lives there. I met him on two diferent occasions growing up, both times bumping into him in the mall. Met him a third time when he was runnibg his very shortly lived Texas Wrestling Alliance. I was at Royal Rumble 1997, and for 9 year old me, it wss pure magic.

[@m.ta.r.6443]

Which mall? Sure wasn't Wonderland mall.

[@LordKellicos]

[@theroadie1346]

[@DagrinRDM]

I was at Canadian Stampede. My ears are *still* ringing from that Hart family pop.

[@zlinedavid]

I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a statue of Stu somewhere in the greater Calgary area by now.

[@chrisbelos2834]

Canadian crowds eh? we love wrestling and will always cheer for our boys. i'm from montreal, samy zain, edge and kevin owens always gets pops. Moment of bliss with alexa and sami in 2019 comes to mind.

[@m.ta.r.6443]

6:39 Regarding Tazz, Nyc includes the 5 boroughs. Manhattan [NY]and Brooklyn [Bk]are two of those. So it was his hometown. Long island is as well but it grouped into Queens. Thats why MJF was wearing METS colors though its a Queens team. So no comment was needed for us. Btw, Love the kiddie pics of the stars.

[@nowto3000]

MSG is in Taz home town. Doesn't matter what borough you're from, we all consider ourselves to be from New York City.

[@zlinedavid]

Thank you! I’m rolling my eyes at everyone trying to draw the lines between West Newbury/Boston, Rosemont/Chicago, etc etc. It’s not about the specific city/village/borough/township/whatever, people. It’s about the metro area you’re in. I’m from Cincinnati, and I could get all specific and say that Moxley/Ambrose is technically from Amelia and Pillman was technically from Northern Kentucky, but nobody outside this area code knows or cares about the difference.

[@Shinigamij66]

adam is such a cena mark

[@bobtallman5209]

Anyone from any borough will get a pop at MSG, and Taz performed at the Hammerstein Ballroom (2 blocks from MSG) with ECW for years. Also, Barclay's wasn't built yet so there wasn't a proper Brooklyn venue at the time. But if Hook ever headlines Barclay's...

[@christophermason9563]

I think that Canadian Stampede should have been #1 and CM Punk at MITB as #2. The cameras were literally shaking during a lot of the match at Canadian Stampede. Seriously just watch the Canadian national anthem the ring ropes are shaking from how loud it is in the building that night. I was at the RAW in Detroit when Shane McMahon returned after 7 or so years and that was legit the loudest pop I've heard at any event I was in attendance for. I've been to several home openers, playoff games and even championship games for both the Red Wings and Pistons (early 2000's when both those teams were still incredible) I can tell from just watching the Canadian Stampede on tv that the crowd there that night was substantially louder than any of those events!!! Punk's was cool bc that reaction was literally just for one person but hart foundation reaction that particular night is easily the best pop for any act on any given night ever (and it pains me to admit that bc I can't stand whiny ass Bret Hart but gotta give him that at least)

[@akunwanneprosper7016]
