8. Chanting A Similar Wrestler's Name
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNabP9XA_jc Something which has plagued performers like Ryback (the Big Guy!) since his main roster debut in this gimmick, are the Goldberg chants at him. Yes, he's bald, and yes, he's jacked, and yes, he does power moves. But is he really that similar to Goldberg? Aside from his winning streak against local jobbers, no - he's actually different in a number of ways. Honestly, as with many of these chants what does this achieve? It undermines the performer and the product. If it was an absolute carbon copy, then fine. But often it isn't. Goldberg even got "Stone Cold" chants at him because he happened to be bald and wear black trunks. The two performers couldn't be more different. Anything that undermines the product has to go on this list, and chanting the name of a similar looking/sounding/style wrestler achieves nothing apart from annoying thousands of viewers and the performers themselves.
