6 Observations From Attending WWE Survivor Series Live
5. An Enthusiastic, Hot Crowd
Toronto's passionate fan base was on display in full force on Sunday. It had been more than a decade since the last Pay Per View in Toronto (Unforgiven 2006) and almost 20 years since the infamous Montreal Screwjob. The crowd came to have fun and was, for the most part, an overwhelmingly positive crowd supporting a number of the WWE Superstars with big reactions.
In terms of best reactions of the night. The expected giant pops for local talent such as Chris Jericho, Natalya, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were big but the biggest reactions of the night were saved for other talents. The biggest entrance pops of the night were Bayley's fun loving inflatable tube entrance and Enzo's pre match promo where he referenced keeping everyone on their 'Toron-toes'.
As for big moments Cesaro's sharpshooter, Shane-O-Mac's big elbow and the Shield's triple powerbomb all received giant pops. The biggest pop of the night was by far Shane McMahon's coast to coast into a spear spot. All in all, the crowd was loud, proud and enthusiastic for this event having lots of fun chanting 'ten' for every set of turnbuckle punches and referee count-out. 'This is awesome' and 'Holy Sh*t' chants also reigned down regularly as fans showed appreciation to the performers. Consistent engagement, chanting and cheering made the live event experience memorable and hopefully leads to more cross border events.
