They want them to not succeed You know because they're kind of over their baby face push or maybe a person that's been overpushed They just they they don't care to see them as champ or whatever the situation may be We've seen it with John Cena plenty of times He goes home and we're talking about John Cena when he was at the height of his push and he when he would go home He would get booed. It's crazy. It's it's crazy. It doesn't always happen But when it does happen, it's it's a unique situation So sometimes even the heel can go home and end up getting booed as well, you know So we're gonna check out some of these situations go down memory lane Lane appreciate all love and support You guys have shown on the channel. Let's get right into this one This is on a restless hometown is more often than not the place where they'll receive their best reaction The local crowd almost always work ones back one of their own but some wrestlers are so good at being heels They can even elicit a negative reaction from their very own people Then there are times when the fans are so tired of a baby face I know issue booing them regardless if the rest of us a hometown star or not We'll look at examples of both today as we highlight ten wrestlers who were booed in their hometown number one Sami Zayn Sami Zayn is such a versatile performer that he's just as good a heel as he is a baby face This was proven not just by the incredible baby face reaction. He received in his hometown of Montreal in 2023 I love it But also by the fact he was able to get the fans to boom in the same arena back in April 2019 On the night Zayn was a guest on Alexa Bliss's talk show. Sami initially received the hero's welcome from the audience He welcomed this response by dancing speaking French And then continued to hype up the Montreal faithful with an Olé Chan the staple Chan of Zayn's entire career Listen to that though Sami then spoke about his love for the city of Montreal while expressing his disdain for the people Which was met by a chorus of booze The city Is great. It's just the people that I can't stand Zayn doubled down by stating that appearing in front of the Montreal crowd was the low point of his week This led to the crowd chanting for a different Montrealer Kevin Owens This only further annoyed Sami who closed things out by saying that the fans in attendance Were not his people and that they should all go to hell a version of the nana nana Hey, hey, goodbye song emanated throughout the bell center. He's good off in disgust He he's good turn the crowd was brilliant burying the audience can often come across as cheapy But zayn pulled it off well by being so entertaining number two Zayn had to turn the crowd first before getting booed But Kurt Angle rarely had this issue during his first year with the wwf All the fans needed to hear was the olympic gold medalist entrance music Just like that arenas up and down the country would typically boo on command This was even the case in Angle's hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania And it happened numerous times in 1999 and 2000. It was a good heel at second wwf match Which took place on the november 15 1999 raw Angle had cemented himself as a heel the night before at the survivor series By getting on the mic and berating the crowd for reacting negatively during his match versus Sean Stasiak Kurt had been instructed to do so while the match was going on by the referee Who's relaying orders from Vince McMahon in gorilla? The next day Angle didn't think he would be booed in his hometown of Pittsburgh A place where Kurt was already a recognized name thanks to his exploits in the olympic games However, Vince once again had a clever plan to ensure Angle received booze Vince wanted me to precondition the crowd before we started raw So he had to go out and cut a promo to turn on the fans a little bit Right from his entrance And it's it was one of those things where It worked It worked because he wanted to get him over as a heel because the fans weren't buying into it yet They knew he was an olympic champion, but people didn't care Then you know what I'm saying? So it was it worked and he was like, yeah, I'm this olympic champion Y'all should worship me and nobody was and he's like why you're not why you're not showing me love and adulation I love that love that and even in his hometown He got the booze like I was saying at the beginning of the video Sometimes the faces are over pushed to get the booze and sometimes the heels They can pull off getting booze at home in their hometown as well With the olympian receiving further jeers after rejecting his opponent The godfather's offer of swapping a gold medal for one of the hoes once the match got underway Angle grabbed the microphone just like he had done the night prior at survivor series Kurt once again chastised the crowd for booing him I Love it on the match thanks to an angle sam loving king booker It's always easy to ensure a heel gets booed in their hometown But the wwe made certain that king booker received booze during an episode of smackdown in houston, texas on february 2nd 2007 the plan to turn the crowd against booker came in the form of an obnoxious key to the city ceremony after being awarded the key to the city booker stated that no one from houston had accomplished as much as him Booker then made the ancient order of royal houstonians kiss his ring which resulted in booze After this kane interrupted by first attacking the custodians and then king booker The ceremony was just one of the many funny segments booker t was involved in during his run Shout out to booker team and edge so far We've looked at good forms of heat with heels receiving the desired reaction But sometimes the shoe can be on the other foot with baby faces being booed instead of cheered This is bad enough on its own But when it's done in the baby faces hometown It's a sign that the fans are tired of the rest in their current fall edge experiences at summer sam 2004 When he defended the intercontinental championship in his native toronto canada during a triple threat match against batista and chris jericho The crowd booed edge anytime he went on offense Yeah, you hear This was especially apparent whenever he and chris jericho were in the ring as the ontario crowd much preferred y2j That's crazy too after hitting jericho with a spear edge will have been glad the match was over given He just experienced one of the most negative reactions of his career up to that point I hadn't been in toronto in two years and they booed me. All right. I'm gonna give you a reason. Yeah I'm gonna give you a reason. It wouldn't be long after until edge turn heel and it was after this that his work improved dramatically And this is why we say When you hear sometimes when you hear the fans, especially if you're a baby face, you hear the fans Giving you that negative reaction Something like this, especially at a big pay-per-view event in there in your hometown. There's nothing wrong with calling the audible There's nothing wrong with calling the audible because sometimes It can give you the desired results that you want because then he just really tapped in into his rogue side and Hence this is how we ended up ultimately getting the rated R superstar following a rough number of months as a face Yep By the time somersault 2006 came around edge was now an established top heel While his opponent John Cena was the baby face that fans were booing in his hometown John had established himself as the face of the company But that didn't stop him from being booed even in his home state Cena hails from West Newbury, Massachusetts a suburb of Boston where the pay-per-view was taking place Instead of the intercontinental title edge was this time defending the wwe championship The crowd were electric throughout the match and the fans were definitely split at times However, Cena was met with heavy booze on heavy booze as well as strong. Cena sucks chance The audience then turned their attention to edge's girlfriend by chanting Leta sucks. Leta would soon get involved in the match by handing edge brass knuckles She then stopped edge from receiving an fu by taking one herself This distracted the referee allowing edge to use the brass nooks on Cena And it was this that ensured the rated R superstar retained the wwe championship My goal was always to get John cheered And we thought maybe Boston would be an easy sell and it turns out it was no The reaction Cena got during the match was a stark contrast to the response he received in the same building eight months prior As John was welcomed home with thunderous cheers That's crazy man It just so happened that by the time SummerSlam came around many fans had seen enough of Cena Number six Brock Lesnar Cena acts as the opponent in our next example as John and Chris Benoit faced a team featuring Brock Lesnar in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota Brock teamed with fellow heels Rhino and Matt Morgan on the go-home smackdown show of the 2004 Royal Rumble The heels were accompanied by smackdown general manager Paul Heyman who watched on while sat on a lifeguard chair The big show was also meant to be on the heel team However, he was barricaded into his locker room by a parked forklift The fans were in good form right from the junk with loud chants of you tapped out directed at Lesnar The crowd chanted this twice before the match even began This was in reference to when Brock tapped to Chris Benoit at the survivor series two months prior As the fans in Lesnar's hometown begin the you tapped out chair to stop The crowd remained very lively with further chants supporting Cena and bashing Heyman After both men were involved in an angle the previous week Take another bite, pretzel You ain't soap, you ain't soap How's this respectful? During the match, the fans were firmly behind Cena and Benoit Who were two of Smackdown's hottest babyfaces at the time This meant there were booze for Brock who also ended up taking some awesome German suplexes for Benoit Rabbit Wolverine then locked Lesnar in the Crippler Crossface much to the audience's delight There were more booze for Lesnar as he walked out on the match only to be attacked by his upcoming opponent at the Royal Rumble Hardcore Holly. At this point even Bob Holly was being cheered ahead of the hometown boy Lesnar The finish of the match came when Cena pinned Rhino off an FU Overall, this was a fun match with a hot crowd good resting and hilarious reactions from Paul Heyman Number seven, Bubba Ray Dudley. When it comes to wild crowds who look no further than Crazy environment We go to the land of extreme next for a match between television champion Taz and challenger Bubba Ray Dudley Taking place in Bubba's hometown of Queens, New York Here we have an interesting example as Taz is positioned as the hometown hero Given he hails from the red hook section of Brooklyn, Bubba on the other hand has famously been billed from Dudleyville Even though he's actually from Queens nevertheless, Bubba immediately receives booze while Taz is the clear fan favorite Bubba embraces the heat by flipping off and swearing at the crowd multiple times On the other hand the human suplex machine feeds off the crowd's energy as they chant Taz is gonna kill you and choke him out Wow Listen to that crowd As Julie obliges by locking Bubba in the Taz mission and forcing him to tap out allowing the champion to retain the tv title Number eight, Randy Orton in 2009 Randy Orton was in the midst of an epic heel run in which he taken We just checked out a video of the different versions of Randy Orton and of course Man this version of Randy Orton that was kicking people to another dimension Savage now the entire McMahon family So it's going to be interesting to see how the crowd reacted to Orton on the august 17 2009 edition of raw raw's guest general manager for The night freddy prince jr Opened the show and was about to talk about the main event until Orton interrupted The viper made it clear that he didn't want to wrestle ahead of his wwe title defense against John Cena as Summer Sam Which was in just six days freddy questioned why Orton wouldn't want to compete in his hometown Randy replied saying that he doesn't care about wrestling in st Lewis and has nothing in common with the local fans in attendance Nothing in common with any Love this version of Randy, bro. This is about me. The people responded with a you suck Chan Mr. Sting, Randy was such a good heel, bro Even in his hometown. He was going he was Vile and I love it Freddy demanded that Randy wrestle in the main event where it would be Orton and his Summer Sam opponents Cena versus the big show and Chris Jericho following this announcement freddy tried to leave the ring Only to be stopped by Orton who dragged freddy to the center of the ring and gave him a backbreaker Later on in the main event Cena pinned Jericho thanks to an attitude adjustment However before Orton and Cena were even announced as the winners the viper would strike by giving John an RKO Number nine CM Punk CM Punk is well-renowned for his popularity in his home city of Chicago We've witnessed numerous legendary punk homecomings over the years So this begs the question has punk ever been booed in the second city and while this is rare It has happened a few times including at the night of champions 2010 pay-per-view despite being a heel punk entered to a typical boisterous hometown response with chance of his name ringing through the Ulster arena Punk even reciprocated by declaring his love for Chicago the caveat being that he hates the inhabitants Punk went on to bury the crowd who fired back with booze Punk even went as far to say that Chicago should be set on fire for a second time Few people make me sick Good heel good heel work. He wrestled the big show in a short match that show won with a knockout punch CM Punk's promo ended up being far more entertaining than the actual Number 10 the miz finally we'll look at the miz a man who only ever gets cheered when he's in his hometown of cleveland But at tlc 2014 the spotlight was instead on miz's tag partner Bro Damian sandal was he turned a dumb ass like Gimmick into something quite hilarious. He made it his own. It's dumb But it was hilarious, bro As the a-lister team with his stunt double damian miz thou to defend the tag team titles against usos This was during the period when miz thou replicated everything the miz did Get a better reaction every time The universe This was no different in miz's hometown as miz thou stole the show despite sending almost a whole match on the apron Mimicking miz who was wrestling the crowd demanded the stunt double be tagged in by chanting we want miz thou miz does about to come in To make the tag and receive booze while miz thou got cheered And i'm not sure that it's good history later miz thou entered the ring to once again copy his partner in hilarious fashion The match came to an end when the miz got himself and miz thou disqualified by using a sammy award as a weapon The dq meant they retained the tag titles and they celebrated this fact But as per usual the fans only popped for miz thou as the miz was overshadowed in his hometown by stunt double Miz thou legit that was a real thing Someone came up with probably vents and he made that work He got that over no matter how stupid and ridiculous it was He got it over because he was just that entertaining. He made it the best out of that situation That was great. But comment down below man.
