10 Iconic Sounds In Wrestling
4. The Roar Of The Crowd
It's easy to forget just what that sounded like, back in the days of the Attitude Era, back in the days of really believing JR or Michael Cole when they said the crowd might blow the damn roof off.
While smaller feds loaded with die-hards like NXT and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla keep the spirit alive, it's far rarer for the crowds in WWE to give themselves over to such honest emotional expression (unless Ronda Rousey is peppering HHH with strikes at the time, of course). Chants are all well and good, but there's something artificial about them, even when they're sincere.
But the jubilant rolling thunder of a crowd that just leaped from the edge of their seat straight into a standing-room-only explosion of excitement? There's just no faking that.
