The crowd can often play an important part at a pro wrestling event. Of course, theres a fine line between adding to the overall spectacle and trying to hijack the show. And frankly anytime an audience feels the need to tell us that they are in fact the awesome ones is a dead giveaway that this fine line has been crossed. But at NXT Takeover: London this week, we saw an awesome example of how a crowd can have a positive effect in creating the perfect atmosphere for performers to thrive in. It wasnt just the noise of the London audience that benefited the occasion though, it was the originality that they brought to proceedings. There was an obvious influence from British football, as well as British culture as a whole, as an energetic and enthusiastic crowd put their stamp on proceedings, but without overshadowing the in-ring action. As a reminder of some of the moments that the London crowd provided at Wednesdays Takeover special, this article looks back at the most creative and entertaining chants to feature throughout the night. Note: This article features some spoilers for the December 23rd NXT Taping. You have been warned.
