Uncomfortable Fan Reactions

Scott,


In the comments to the wedding RAW you posted, multiple people (myself included) have noted that the next night in Anaheim for SmackDown, the crowd basically booed Stephanie out of the building when she opened the show. Bear in mind, according to storyline, Stephanie was the victim of sexual assault, forced kidnapping, etc.

It got me thinking: what other fan reactions to stories have left you (or if you’re pretty hardened by this, people you knew) a little uneasy with the implications? I’m thinking stuff like "the crowd so desperately wants Sid to beat Shawn Michaels that they cheer when Jose Lothario fakes a heart attack".

The bikers at Road Wild/Hog Wild who were basically booing anyone of color. That was some deeply uncomfortable stuff and I’m glad they killed the concept after the third show.
