I was watching the Raw 15 year anniversary doc last night and they showed the match in which Mankind wins his first WWF title from the Rock, in this match Austins music hits and he costs Rock the title. I couldn't believe the pop for Austin, we took it for granted back in the day but NOBODY gets pops like this......
.......Anymore. The crowd go absolutely fucking mental.every one of them!
It doesn't come off as well on youtube as it does on tv but you'll get the idea.

The match is on the Mick Foley Greatest Hits and Misses DVD. I think it took everyone totally by surprise - no-one ever thought a stunt monkey like Foley would ever be World Champ, beating Rocky.
I think it's a combination of complete shock, respect for someone like Foley who's pretty much destroyed himself in his career, taken some horrific bumps finally making it to the top of the business. Throw in DX getting 1-up on McMahon, and the pop is understandably huge.
Biggest ever? Possibly. I'm struggling to think of any bigger...

Im not talking about the pop Foley got for the win, im talking about the pop for Austins entrance, it was so huge and lasted so long that it was still going on during the 3 count so its hard to tell how much of it was pop for Foleys win.
As I said the initial pop for Austin was what im talking about.
The pop when Goldberg beat Hogan in Atlanta was immense as well but I watched that match last night on The Monday Night War DVD and although massive it wasnt as big as the Austin pop.

it is in MSG that place is small as fuck, it was bloody loud though, more of a prolonged cheer than the other one which is more like multi "whoops"

bazz wins!
this is quite a good pop. not as good as the austin and triple h ones. but its the jericho millenium countdown debut. you can hear the cheers get louder when they see "JERICHO" come on the titan tron and the people who have seen WCW know who it is

After that Trip's video it show's that even before banging Steph, he was popular as fuck with the fan's. You sometime's foget amongst the talk of backstage politic's and the 'WWE family value's' that he does deserve to be where he is...

He was married to steph by then, but HHH has always been over(well not ALWAYS but you know), He was making it to the top with DX before he ever got with steph and was going to win the king of the ring that Austin won.
Its the talent burying that he did that annoyed most people.

Na I think that's just after his storyline marriage, they didn't hook up while after did they? Getting in with the 'Klique' he was gonna get pushed to be over, but fuck me, that's fucking Jeff Harvey after 4 line's on his return- over...

HHH and steph were together during the on screen story, chyna Say's something about it in that shoot i posted.
HHH's pop pisses all over Jess Harvys "rock star reception"( you know the one he doesn't actually get). lol

I try to avoid Chyna in those kinda situation's, people talk noise in shoot's, it's normally funny, but Chyna is almost as fucked up as Xpac, and his shoot was pant's, he was stoned as a cunt which didn't help...

I dunno, she freak's me out when she trie's to doll her self up, look's more of a man that in the WWF! I love shoot's and would probably enjoy her's, especially since I watched WWF when she was there, which she would talk about, the Hebner's shoot, I put that on the other day while I was checking the forum out, just back ground noise, but I found myself getting into it when they were talking about shit Ive seen 'em doing, like the Montreal bollock's, Owen's fall, the Invasion story when Earl fought Nick Patrick, great stuff, I'l have to have a watch of Chyna's when I get a chance.
Yeah Xpac's was shit, he kept fogetting the question's they asked... Then he picked a joint up, all my doubt's were answered, the guy was stoned as fuck...

Yeah, he's due outta rehab soon, on WWE's money, even though he work's for AAA in Mexico... It's crazy to think about it, but he's defo going down that route. I think it would be better for him to be with WWE these day's with all this wellness policy they got in, could sort him out abit, plus he got friend's there to put in a word for him. But he need's to pull his finger out soon or he's going that way...

I think people got bigger pops then because they deserved it. Nobody in WWE deserves a pop like Stone Cold or The Rock. What would you say is the closest?

Yeah, Bazz wins, but foley/stone cold comes close.
Bazz, i can't see the videos you post any idea why?
I had to quote your post, and then take the url out of that in order to see it.

Not a clue mate, it's a youtube video so should work for everyone, sometimes when my flash player is playing up it does that for me, haven't a clue why though.
Anyone else have that problem??

That is a massive pop, but I always thought the Warriors pop at WM 8 when he returned was massive
There was plenty in Indianapolis that night though, around 80 thousand I think, so its not like the Beattles at the Cavarn club

I'd like everyone to note that both Bazz and Gaffer disagree with my pick as biggest pop.
A certain someone claims that its a conspiracy that we agree on EVERYTHING.
I'd also like to point out Bazz and Gaffer are wrong and im available to argue (swearing inclusive) until 6pm.
