10 Totally Insane Wrestling Crowd Moments

If Enzo Amore had a dime for every record sold following his Survivor Series publicity stunt...

A certain etiquette is expected of pro wrestling crowds.

The barrier between the performers and the audience is sacred. Well, not really, since WWE scripts its talent to break the barricade every friggin' month, but you get the idea. Under no circumstances should a fan enter the ring and involve themselves in the show. The only time an untrained performance artist is allowed in the ring is on the USA Network on Tuesday nights. How fans are allowed to participate from the stands is more blurry.

Obviously, racist, sexist and otherwise discriminatory abuse is absolutely forbidden. Fans are technically allowed to chant "What?", even though it ruins the experience and is pig ignorant, but they bought a ticket. This allows them a certain freedom, and some use this freedom to be thoroughly obnoxious.

Ideally, those attending wrestling shows should traverse the ends of the earth and somehow procure a rare luxury item called "shower gel" and apply it to their armpits and anus. Of course, given the extreme degree of difficulty involved with such a task, it is entirely optional.

Sometimes, even the wrestlers themselves do not follow it...

10. Enzo Amore Hijacks WWE Survivor Series

If Enzo Amore had a dime for every record sold following his Survivor Series publicity stunt...

In an absolutely wild scene, former Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore hijacked the 2018 WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view. It was hilarious.

There's a very famous scene in what might be the greatest episode of the greatest comedy show ever, 'Lemon of Troy' in season six of 'The Simpsons', in which Bart wears a wig to disguise himself from the rival Shelbyville kids. The gag is that the wig is so obviously a wig that the kids see it, but are so dumb that they don't know why he's wearing it.

Enzo Amore wore the exact same wig at Survivor Series, and it might say something about both Enzo and the crowd that he went undetected. He also looked like a screamo E.T. before he removed the outfit before the match between AOP and the Bar. Incredibly, WWE being WWE, they did something equally stupid in a planned event: Drake Maverick claims to have shoot pissed himself when the prop he tried to use to gimmick piss himself didn't work.

Once Enzo was noticed, he got his sh*t in and ran through his entrance spiel before he got absolutely wrecked and escorted off the premises by security. He revealed to Title Match Wrestling that he did this to publicise his new album 'Rosemary's Baby Pt. 1: Happy Birthday' under the deluded belief that trending worldwide is more important than "cable numbers on commercials".

Meanwhile, the world anxiously awaits the release of 'Rosemary's Baby Pt. 2.
