10 Biggest Hometown WWE Pops 

I got a pop in my hometown, but was my knee instead of an audience

Honorable mention for Batista at SummerSlam 2005. It was held in his hometown of Washington DC. I don't know how it came across on TV but I happened to be in the audience for this event and the pop when he was introduced was deafening.

As a guy from Pittsburgh, we aren't the City of Brotherly Love, that's Philadelphia. We love Kurt Angle!

Pittsburgh is Steel City, Philadelphia is The City of Brotherly Love

It’s sad knowing that Bret is the last of the Hart Foundation that’s still alive 😢

Like him or hate him, Ryback had an absurd pop and crowd reaction in Vegas as a heel, tagging with Orton and Curtis Axel.. The WWE couldn’t hide it 😅

City of Brotherly love is Philadelphia, Pittsburgh is the Steel City

Samy Zayn this year's Elimination Chamber PLE at Montreal.

10:10. I was at that PPV. The ovation that the Hart Foundation received was DEAFENING! And the Saddledome was shaking. It was awesome!

I'm not the only who knew CM Punk would be number one on this list

Ayr is too small for a WWE show but Glasgow erupted when Mcintyre made his entrance. Unknown fact, my Aunty was in Drews year at school. I believe she was in history and Chemistry with him.

As a Yinzer in Pittsburgh, we are NOT city of brotherly love. That’s Philthydelphia

What makes #1 hilarious to me is that not only is CM Punk from a town miles away from Chicago, but the Allstate Arena isn't even in Chicago, either. It's in a village called Rosemont, which is why it used to be called the "Rosemont Horizon". It was made even funnier when he was in AEW, and they'd book a card that was billed to be from Chicago, but took place in a village called Hoffman Estates: An hour drive outside of Chicago's city limits. Just like with Buzz from Home Alone, it always seems to be the weird suburbanites who drape the Chicago flag on their wall.

No Trish Stratus last match? The pop when she locks in the sharpshooter is insane!

People hated Cena but when he came back from an injury those pops were unmatched

Bad bunny had one of the greatest entrances I've ever seen

great part about bryans is you can tell some of the guys thought it was amazing and jbls reaction was class

I believe Carlitos pop should be in this list

That Raw 2013 segment is goated! One of the best moments in Raw history I've ever seen

11:25 I was there. What a blast

The crazy part is Austin gets hometown pops in any city

If I was a pro wrestler, I can only imagine how my hometown crowd would react when my music hits. *’Falling Apart’ by TRUST*CO plays. *Heritage Bank Centre erupts *Samantha Irvin: from CINCINNATI, OH! Weighing 210 pounds. He is the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Jax “Wolfman” Bivens!

I remember a RAW I went to a number of years ago when Jack Swagger was still with WWE and doing his "We the people" gimmick with Zeb...well, during his match it went to commercial break and Zeb gets on the mic talking about "He's your hometown hero" and all that...yes, it was in Oklahoma...but. no. one. cared.

I was at Canadian Stampede. My ears are *still* ringing from that Hart family pop.

Not only did Shawn Michaels spend the majority of his youth in San Antonio, but he still lives there. I met him on two diferent occasions growing up, both times bumping into him in the mall. Met him a third time when he was runnibg his very shortly lived Texas Wrestling Alliance. I was at Royal Rumble 1997, and for 9 year old me, it wss pure magic.

I am also from Pennsylvania and we loved this moment when curt angle won the title

I’m from Philadelphia we live in the city of brotherly love not Pittsburg lol

Honourable mention for la resistencia in Quebec the night they won the tag titles off Edge / Stevie Richards in 2004

Who remembers wwe's obsession with beating up JR in Oklahoma 😂😂

I was at Elimination Chamber in Montreal. Nearly lost my voice by the end.

Man…Adam catching 6 kinds of hell for switching Philly and Pittsburgh. Thank god he didn’t make a Geno’s/Pat’s > Primanti Bros. reference. Y’all would have lynched him.

I take my Nan there when I nip down from London to visit. She's up the road from the Spoons at Victoria Street

Thanks for acknowledge of PR

Carlito from literally THIS year at Backlash in Puerto Rico not being on this list is CRIMINAL

Canadian crowds eh? we love wrestling and will always cheer for our boys. i'm from montreal, samy zain, edge and kevin owens always gets pops. Moment of bliss with alexa and sami in 2019 comes to mind.

Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love my dude

8:44 "The City of Brotherly Love" is actually Philadelphia, not Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is "The Steel City"

6:39 Regarding Tazz, Nyc includes the 5 boroughs. Manhattan [NY]and Brooklyn [Bk]are two of those. So it was his hometown. Long island is as well but it grouped into Queens. Thats why MJF was wearing METS colors though its a Queens team. So no comment was needed for us. Btw, Love the kiddie pics of the stars.

I love your top 10 the crazier the top 10 the better lol

Only one I thought might have been missing was the debut of Cactus Jack at MSG, but otherwise can't argue any of this

MSG is in Taz home town. Doesn't matter what borough you're from, we all consider ourselves to be from New York City.

Anyone from any borough will get a pop at MSG, and Taz performed at the Hammerstein Ballroom (2 blocks from MSG) with ECW for years. Also, Barclay's wasn't built yet so there wasn't a proper Brooklyn venue at the time. But if Hook ever headlines Barclay's...

Pity that there aren't videos in this video(!), I must go searching them to hear the pops. (I remember that one of Tazz!)

Canadian Stampede >>> CM Punk's homecoming at Money in the Bank Chicago. I'm shocked as hell that this list illustrated otherwise.

Great vid

good video

Tazz has a top 10 🔥🔥🔥 theme in WWE 🤤

Like always, didn't expect much from the list, still was expecting to see The Rock pinning Cena at WrestleMania 28, in Miami, LITERALLY THE LOUDEST Pop in Wrestling History!

Cm punk in Chicago was always a big pop.

Thanks 🎉

I was there at MSG for Taz debut.. it was crazy. Yeah MSG is in Manhattan!!! get it right!!

Good list.

As an American, we've got nothing on you Canadian fans. Much respect.

You said that Pittsburgh was the city of brotherly love, that’s incorrect.

Ah yes, Novermber my favorite month

Bro just called Pittsburgh the city of brotherly love. Why

Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love. I am from Pittsburgh. It's known as the steel city. Please don't mix us with those Filthadelphians.

Did anyone notice that Ric Flair's hometown location date was blurred out?

PIttsburgh's called The Steel City. And I'm saying this as a life-long Pittsburgh native.

No Carlito in Backlash '23?!?! Blasphemy

Before watching the video: CM Punk MiTb 2011 Sami Zayn Smackdown in Montreal If those two aren't on the list. It's not valid. Edit: List is valid!

adam is such a cena mark

The pop was not that loud for Ric Flair in Charlotte that day after Survivor Series 2001

Home Is Where The Heart Is

0:18 JOE HENDRY

Mark Henry intentionally acknowledged Bryan in Seattle bc he knew it was the right thing to do.

If clash at the castle was in Scotland he would of been on this list

City of brotherly love in Philadelphia not Pittsburgh lol

Maybe a star or half a star for the crowd in the CM Punk John Cena match as the match is great as well

Oh my Yinzer heart 😂

I know you guys are British but Pittsburgh is NOT the city of brotherly love

bro sneaks in the wildest facts

Goals! ❤

The only pops in my hometown are gunshots

Thank For the Good Top 10 Video 🙊🤯🥰😍😁💗✌️🙂💐🌟🥇🏆

philly is the city of brotherly love not Pittsburgh

"10 Biggest Hometown PPV Pops" New video idea?

Did you call Pittsburgh the city of brotherly love?!

PUERTO RICO IN DA HOUSEEEEEE!!!!!! 🇵🇷 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Pittsburgh, the City Of Brotherly Love?

Kind of disappointed that you guys messed up Pittsburghs nickname.

I wasn’t at the show but I was told Nikki Cross got one hell of a pop here when she turned up with Sanity to answer Becky Lynch’s open challenge. I miss that Nikki. Her entrance song and gimmick was badass at the time.

I'd like a list of loudest reactions of all time. If Punk's return isn't #1 I'd be disappointed

How about bulldog at summerslam 92?

Even though Carlito just recently return he should be metion since he got a 90's stone cold return pop in backlash 2023

Stone Cold at WM X7 should be on here

The city of brotherly love is Philadelphia, not Pittsburgh

Recency bias runs wild huh? Canadian stampede is still the biggest pop, I was there live and the crowd literally shook the building.

It's "on" Long Island

I respect bad bunny but you should put savio vega or carlito over bad bunny. They got one of the most thunderous pops in wwe history.

Lockdown proved the fans are as much a part of the show as the wrestlers

So Pittsburgh is not the city of brotherly love, that's Philadelphia

Isn't Cena from West Newbury?

I always think what would have happened to tazz if wwe didn't sign the radicalz

Pittsburgh is the steel city...not the city of brotherly love!

Austin in Texas 😅

I think that Canadian Stampede should have been #1 and CM Punk at MITB as #2. The cameras were literally shaking during a lot of the match at Canadian Stampede. Seriously just watch the Canadian national anthem the ring ropes are shaking from how loud it is in the building that night. I was at the RAW in Detroit when Shane McMahon returned after 7 or so years and that was legit the loudest pop I've heard at any event I was in attendance for. I've been to several home openers, playoff games and even championship games for both the Red Wings and Pistons (early 2000's when both those teams were still incredible) I can tell from just watching the Canadian Stampede on tv that the crowd there that night was substantially louder than any of those events!!! Punk's was cool bc that reaction was literally just for one person but hart foundation reaction that particular night is easily the best pop for any act on any given night ever (and it pains me to admit that bc I can't stand whiny ass Bret Hart but gotta give him that at least)

Ric Flair on (cencored)

CM Punk!!!!

Daniel bryan is from aberdeen…. ?
