10 Things That Happened At NXT Live: Newcastle (Australia)
10. Australians Are Great Chanters And Love To Sing
I can't speak for all of the shows here in Australia, but this crowd definitely brought the goods when it came to making it an experience for themselves. Not content with letting the wrestlers be the main source of entertainment, there were pockets of the crowd that never seemed to take a break from chanting or yelling to whoever was in the ring.
The crowd did take a while to get in the zone, as ring announcer Andrea D'Marco kicked off the show there were some very mixed reactions to her (I was feeling like they didn't know who she was, honestly) and there were plenty of people still making their way into the arena at the last minute, but as soon as TM61's music hit to begin the action, they were on their feet and chanting "Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi" at their countrymen.
One of the greatest moments of crowd mentality was the entire arena singing the Australian National Anthem. Because they could. I have never felt so patriotic.
