Was just thinking that myself. People are always pointing the finger of blame at others when they should be looking at themselves.

[@fiestaduro]

I take credit for that crowd reaction and you can blame it on 6 drunk idiots, about 15 Miller lites each before showing up and only watching wrestling the 2 times a year it comes to Pittsburgh + the rumble and WrestleMania. Ziggler is a jobber, and that's not his fault it's WWE's fault for never actually sticking with him. Fans have hijacked cena, orton, roman, ect. But they stuck with them. And I couldn't care less that they fired Ziggler. Maybe he'll make a name for himself in the Indies and come back to be a main eventer like cringy Cody.

[@TheHardys01]

What I see is a crowd at the end of a PPV who are full of energy, and who are being given absolutely nothing to put that energy into. 3:26 is a perfect example of that. Crowd is going electric. & Dolph has Seth in a sleeper..... This is the WWE's fault. Not the paying men & women in the crowd.

[@nfindc]

This period in general was notorious for unruly crowds. The WrestleMania in 2019 was also hijacked during the main event. Go watch it again and compare how the fans were behaving during the match between Roman and Brock in 2019 and just last year in 2022 when they had their 3rd match of their WrestleMania trilogy. Much different setting and crowd reaction.

[@jaweiss34]

NXT has had two since, but otherwise yes they haven't had an Iron Man match on WWE PPV or shows since July 2018. Iron Man matches used to be big matches to end a feud. I still remember the Iron Man match between Kurt Angle and [Redacted] that was an incredible match. Kurt put on several really amazing Iron Man matches. Kurt had one with Shawn and Brock as well. Though Bret Hart and Owen Hart had a lot of incredible Iron Man matches back in the day. Crazy that a lot of those matches will be 20 years old this year.

[@redrick8900]

Iron Man matches kind of suck. You know that whatever happens through 95% of the match when it's down to the last minute the score is still going to be tied or within one point. In a normal match the finish can happen any minute. Iron Man matches are basically killing time and one minute of relevant story telling.

@@Slypooch the audience were definitely having fun. Most if not all probably didn't think of it as anything more than that.

I'd be curious to hear what they said about the matter privately. Also, the booking team definitely didn't see it as a nothing burger. This match was a change booked as a response to fan feedback and after this pay-per-view they reverted back immediately to what they were doing previously. Can't speak to how I would have behaved if I was there, because I wasn't. But I can refer to the one time I was at a indie show and a group of lads tried to start the thing where you squeal the word "sweet" loudly and in a high-pitched voice after every two count. It wasn't a comedy match, took attention away from the performance (main event btw), was really annoying and tended to snowball once it started. I let it slide the first time but yelled "Don't start that" after the second time. The people around me cheered and one lad shouted "thank you". They stopped after that and everyone got to see a great main event which is infinitely better than the alternative.

If they would have let the clock up, it would have died out very quickly (and already was from my POV), but taking the clock down just gave people a reason to keep doing it, so of course bringing it back was going to pop the crowd.

When you're in an unfunny contest and your opponent is a WWE audience.

[@davethecow445]

Pittsburgh fans are just like that, they chanted to fire Matt Canada at a penguins game

[@nathanroberts7056]

Probably one of the most frustrating PPV's I've ever watched, always loved the old school Iron man matches and fans today complaining they do do enough of them. The fact they started booing because they took the clock down is so fuckin cringe. Imagine being paying for a Wrestling show just to get excited about making a buzzer sound every minute and ignore the actual great match they put it despite the crowd being totally disconnected.

[@stephenefole6075]

This is why WWE shouldn't always give the fans what they want

[@Emper0rH0rde]

Vince wasn't wrong about everything. But he's a sociopath, a control freak, and probably also a criminal.

[@Ourii]

this would’ve been cool if it was just for the last 10, but it’s crazy to do it for the whole match

[@ohyeahnahui1121]

I think the crowd can do what they want as long as it stays respectful to the performers

[@TetFeMal]

At that point they pay more attention to the clock than the match. Probably what happens when ticket prices are so high only casuals can attend.

[@ethanfullerton1620]

I was at extreme rules 2018 and oh my God the countdown was so annoying.

[@Yulz553]

I've watched WWE for a minute, specifically during Reigns controversial push to the top during 2015 - 2019. I'll admit, being a WWE die hard is miserable 😅

[@valenciasainz]

Live attendance - 10K/15K to 40K/90K Live audience - 200M+ Total fans - 400M+ Live audience ruined it, everyone else wanted to see the match. "They didn't push Dolph Ziggler"

[@Silenceaverted]

It’s the same vibe I get when fans cheer “we want tables” 2 minutes into a match that can involve tables, like c’mon let it build up to that

[@RaymondStormbl3ssed]

I don’t blame em. Before the tribal chief era WWE had gone down the shitter so hard that it seemed impossible to find anything good about the show and fans were just tired of seeing this circus Watching an episode of raw from 2017-2019 is akin to having your hair pulled one by one WWE rn is infinitely more watchable and engaging and with none of the bullshit that plagued the show during the late 2010s.

[@ChaseAC98]

Dude what the actual fuck is wrong with that crowd in Pittsburgh ? Like did they spray drugs into the audience. God how ANNOYING.

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

I remember a match that had Cena and Samoa Joe as opponents in a tag match. When Joe was in TNA, so many people fantasised about those 2 one day squaring off. They had a stare down and they were about to wrestle for the first time and I think it ended up being the last time. Crowd instead were distracted by a beach ball.

[@spookrockcity]

Dolph is such a class act

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

What city was this in? Had to be east Coast. Now I gotta Google it. Edit: Yup as I guessed. Near ECW territory. Pittsburgh PA

[@Emper0rH0rde]

What a fucking surprise.

[@thatisemtile1314]

Tap out corner is that u?

[@unholydiver1095]

Not only did they annoy Seth and Dolph, they also annoyed the people watching at home. Sometimes I tend to hate the audience cause they can be really annoying

[@abachniv]

I remember this. The crowd of smarks gleefully ruined this match. It was an embarrassment.

[@OfficialStarscream]

Dolph ziggler and the Miz main evented no mercy 2016 for the ic title so actually the extreme rules match was the 2nd main event in 17 years

[@ToumapassarZEZOCA]

APART and A PART are two very different things

[@sachinmeghumishra]

Wow awesome videos he make 💙, the fans can make match better or even worse sometimes they not cheer up when return or any wrestler come... Basically depends on superstars and the match 🙌... Can't imagine again with no crowd...

[@cedricgant8535]

I wouldn’t blame WWE if the never went back 2 Shittsburgh after that 😂

[@RafikiafReKo]

Intercontinental was in the main event of No Mercy 2016 aswell

[@luccirobbins6675]

“It was the first time that an Intercontinental title match was the main event of a PPV in over 17 years. Last time being Backlash 2001.” That’s not true. Dolph Ziggler Vs The Miz for the IC title main evented No Mercy 2016 in a career vs title match.

[@nopenope7386]

This is HILARIOUS 😂😂

[@midnightdeluxegaming6582]

The U.S. Live Crowds didn’t realize 💩 until they seen how France was at Backlash. When WWE start putting their PPVs out of country more now U.S. Life Crowds wanna act right. 😂😂😂

[@akamu95b31]

This is proof that you shouldn't always listen to the fans. Fanbases are indecisive or have differing opinions, constantly changing. It can pay off big time for the wwe or blow up in their faces, it's up to them to know when. But Ziggler makes a good point, I like his mindset.

[@supersaiyanyoshi1175]

Aye I found this pretty funny 😭

[@thephenomenalphantom8372]

I still think this entire thing was so funny. Annoying? Yes. Was i still laughing more and more everytime they did it? Also yes🤣

[@GdGamerBoy12]

I was at Extreme Rules 2018 I remember being so confused at first but then joined along

[@shankywantsyou]

Legitimately one of my favorite matches of all time, but dear lord do I watch it muted.

[@christopheraaron8299]

Wrestling fans aren't exactly known for their intelligence.

[@joeyspagnola300]

okay but that’s actually hilarious though

[@davionmontgomery4559]

I was at Extreme Rules in 2018 I can tell you right now everyone in the arena was not mad about a clock it was just funny as hell to us but if you was there live you would see we did enjoy the main event

[@matteasterling5498]

Now the fans don't hijack anything anymore, their just happy to be there.

[@kakihustle55]

As they supposed to

[@KaitouKaiju]

Yes! Yes! Yes! we do

[@lilshawonjawn1465]

Well to be fair, I was at extreme rules when the crowd was counting down and the reason why they were counting down was because the clock on the titantron disappeared

[@stevemcknelly5036]

Your question at the end of this video... That's like paying for tickets to a comedy act and saying, "I paid money, I have every right to heckle the comedian!" No, you don't. You paid for the right to be there and have a good time watching someone perform.

[@GigaChadh976]

The point of seeing a stand up comedian is listening to him talk. Heckling interrupts the set. At a wwe show the point is to see a wrestling match

[@richardbenitez1656]

The buildup was weak, the people were bored.

[@markanthonycanales2575]

I agree with zigglar I would get distracted to during the match if all I heart is a count down like what not the royal rumble like ain’t no one coming out
