ROH Fans are the most entertaining fans in teh world.

True Story.

I'm watching the current episode of Ring of Honor at ROHWrestling.com.

Matt Hardy comes out.. They start chanting "FEED ME MORE! FEED ME MORE!"

This is only one small example of the lulz the ROH faithful bring. Do you have any similar funny stories of hilarious chants breaking out in the crowds?

While the ROH fanbase isn't quite as strong as it used to be in terms of atmosphere and entertainment, they can still make a show comes across that much better, particularly the NYC crowd.

One of the best crowd involvement moments I've ever seen from ROH was from Danielson and Generico at Proving Ground 2009. I'm sure a lot of you have heard of it already by now, but for those that haven't it started with both men shaking hands in the centre of the ring, and Generico then giving him a hug. The crowd then started a 'Hug him back!' chant towards Danielson and when he refused, Generico got upset and walked to the corner of the ring. The crowd then chanted 'Say your sorry!', and when Danielson went over to do so, the crowd demanded that he say it in Spanish. After he said 'Lo siento' the place erupted, with Generico giving Danielson another hug and the crowd chanting 'That was awesome!'.

I think the video has been taken down but I recommend you all watch it. My description doesn't give that magical moment justice.

This reminds me of a match between Steen and Generico and the Young Bucks, where the Crowd started calling the spots. Started with them chanting for a hiptoss I think lol

I vividly remember Steen yelling "WHAT DO I DO NOW?" or something to that effect lol.

RoH fans are the shit.

They always give Matt Hardy shit. I remember in 04 or 05 they chanted "pussy whipped" at him after that Lita shit.

Awful thread, indy fans are terrible and overweight, and only buy tickets to chant "suooper dragggonnnn" and get themselves over.

Hey now, let's not be harsh here.

They are also super smart in thinking that gimmick matches are harder to work, and everything is a botch.

Not to mention super respectful, especially when a guy mistimes a move and hurts himself enough that everyone else notices, and they scream respectful terms like "you fucked up!".

And they know workrate, because they can just look at somebody and start chanting "you can't wrestle". I mean they have to know the ins and outs of the business to tell that this guy, who went to a wrestling school, can't wreslte, because they know how to take bumps and run the ropes from the otherside of the guard rail.

They should be allowed to book shows too! Because they always know whats wrong with everything and know everything is so predictable. And they always offer up useful suggestions, like it should be like old angles.

CHIKARA has the best fan chants. On the ladder match on their first iPPV last year, they kept chanting "Please be careful" when the face would climb the ladder, it was hilarious. And they say "Holy poop" instead of "Holy shit"

I like hearing: "End this match!"
"Change the channel!!"

Probably adopted from the WWE-ECW One Night Stand PPV's of 2005 and 2006.

Two examples I can think of.

One wasn't a chant, but I was at a ROH show in August 2007, and Bryan Danielson was facing Morashima, it was at a point of the match where Danielson was starting to work on his leg, and a guy behind me was doing a whole bit from the Karate Kid "Sweep the leg Daniel-son!"

Also at a British Indie show in 2002 I think it was Flash Barker or maybe the Zebra Kid wrestling, and he had a pair of spandex tights and a mullet, and the crowd charted "Brutus Beefcake".

I only wish we could come up with some new chants. I find "This is wrestling" to be pretty dumb, and "This is awesome" feels played out. Would love if we could get some soccer-like songs for wrestlers.
