8 Funniest Wrestling Fan Heckles

1. The (Good) Night After WrestleMania

Long before WWE made it A Thing and ruined it like they so often do, the chaos and frenzy that got whipped up fans that were actually happy to be there generated an atmosphere like little else during the monopoly years.

It was fair to say the post-WrestleMania fans became a little overbearing by the time the company intentionally started phasing back on big moments to dull their sharpened blades, but 2013's in particular was so fresh that it made for a legendarily wild edition of the stoic flagship.

A night of off-kilter chants peaked in a deathly dull and repetitive Sheamus Vs Randy Orton bout in which the Izod Center supporters indulged themselves on what, for most, was probably the last night of a holiday. "Viper" and "Celtic Warrior" went unsung, but the rambunctious rabble paid homage to Mike Chioda, JBL, Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, Justin Roberts, Shawn Michaels (?), Rob Van Dam (?!) and tragically, eventually, themselves.

That ruined it, of course. Everybody always ruins everything eventually, but it was impossible not to pop the first time it happened.
