Hello, for the chants: When there is a 2-count, we go "Simplement Deux" (Only Two!), comes from a catchphrase from the French commentators. When a heel character did something 'bad', we went "T'es pas gentil !" (You're a meanie) or "C'est pas gentil !" (This is not kind.) During the main-event, when AJ landed on Rhodes' knee, the crowd went "Ça doit faire mal" (That's gotta hurt!) And the chant for AJ is "Il est vraiment phénoménal" (He truly is, he truly is, he truly is phenomenal). Comes from a stupid "camping chant" that you can find on UA-cam just by searching the lyrics.
Many of us are hoping they try to bring at least Summerslam here in the Hiram Bithorn stadium. Its an open field but if ya want loud, we can probably give you hella loud there 🤣🤣
Nothing but respect for you guys ! I guess the thing is your card had one main attraction mostly for you with Bad Bunny and Damian + every fellow puerto ricains. But for us, nobody is related to France, we were not waiting to see someone in particular so we went into full mode for everyone and some references from French broadcast team ! Because to be honest, we were lourder on the long run but Bad Bunny's entrance is still better than anything that we did ! The only french wrestlers that we saw were security guards during the story of Randy/Kevin against Bloodline and on saturday morning they received chants "Security ! Security !" on an indy show, so much fun.
@Air_Deux Well if we know anything about security guards... 😂 Also, I'm so glad international venues are so excited for WWE. It is truly amazing. Puerto Rico and France have set the trend. Much love to both these countries from India.
@@Air_Deux ya guys did so much and I was all for it. Honestly ya had amazing matches on your show and the fsct is I think yours was shorter, but you made the best of it. Loved every minute of what I saw. Ima have to go to France just for tge sake of going. Love the energy.
Fun fact : Jey Uso's entrance was an idea of "Sturry" (on UA-cam, Twitch, etc). He spoke to the entire french people on social medias to say like "Hey, let's have our cameras on during Jey's entrance" He made that moment special 👍
And it was inspired by an other event held in France called "KCX 3", an event about esport during which the fans did the exact same thing with their phones.
Salut,I was one of the 11,000 in the crowd and it meant a lot to us people in Lyon and France,We want more PLE’s in France and in Europe.Also,we want Wrestlemania in France 🇫🇷
@@ryszardsikora6894I’m pretty sure WWE said that the four main PLE’s (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, Summer Slam, and the other one, I forgot) are going to be in the US only
Sorry to disapoint but it can only be 3 times louder because you need to double each time 10k > 20k > 40k > 80k But yeah we killed it, next time its in the Stade de France we are READY !
@@DaFro3713 This time aj will try to cheat to win and do whatever it takes to win the title. Their second match will be better tho but result stays the same. Still need to see them do the too sweet tho.
The crowd was amazing, they neve really got quiet, they would stop chanting for like 5 seconds then come up with something else to chant, felt like a big time soccer(football) game. If all crowds were like this it would be hard to dislike any show
@@HIHi-os1lri think they will but only with some ppvs. Most of the wrestlers live in the states so going outside the usa takes a toll on them. You can't do it too often.
Bonjour Santi, I'm just one french fan out of this crowd and I just don't know how can I go back to a normal life after experiencing such madness... The chants began one hour before the show went on air, and continued after it was off. Ask Samantha Irvine and Charles Robinson for the love we showed them off air! The original song for the AJ Styles chant was performed by Phenomenal Club in 1997 😉
The voice he heard the all time were the French people. No guess he was ambitious and pretentious x) Without Joke, Randy is really loved in France - Back in 2006-2010 - He was the guy nobody like even if he was good, he was the rival of the "US Flag Boy" and it was shortly after Irak Invasion and French bashing. I love John Cena, but Randy will always be my fav.
I would love if the American fans pick up the 'Phenomenal' song from the french and start singing it at the arenas. "Oh Yeah He is.... Oh yeah he is.... Oh yeah he is Phenomenal La la la... La la la la... La la lala la la." It's literally how it translates to English and can be sung in the same melody in as the original french song. Come on WWE fans, AJ styles deserves it.
@mihaimercenarul7467 bro youve commented the exact same thing like a dozen times. if you dont like having fun, then you dont like having fun. you dont have to continue saying the exact same thing
Cody proved he belongs at the top level. That match with AJ was superb with 2 technicians showcasing what professional wrestling is about. AJ even at that age shows us why he is a first ballot hall of fame. What a PLE overall and what a crowd. So proud to be a professional wrestling fan ❤
you are such a child. First you praise a bad crowd, then you call it professional wrestling then you have a heart emoji? Little boy, go back to bed, brainless puppy
Not just the loudness that brings France crowd is "The Greatest". They were completely silent when needed....Promos are so clear & goosebumpy on Smackdown yesterday 😃❤️. Actually France Crowd deserves more....They should've book a better match card + 1 hour showtime. ❤
@@mihaimercenarul7467 Sorry for being the best crowd, especially in Europe compared to US😸🇨🇵 If you want, you can just watch a chess game at this point
The good thing is, Europeans have these 'Anything you can do, I can do better' competitive rivalries going on with each other so now that the French have raised the bar, the Scots, The Germans and then i am sure Italians (HHH said he was gonna look at Italy as the next European destination) are gonna try and outdo the French so expect similar crowds at Clash at the castle and especially at Bash in Berlin (Watch any Bundesliga crowd, Dortmund is usually the best) and whenever they roll up to Rome (A WWE event in the backdrop of the Collosssium, Just too perfect) or whatever Italian city they choose.
Agree with everything you said. I love it when you can tell the wrestlers are having fun. KO and Randy drinking it all it sold it to me. Imagine the response if LA Knight came in to save team RKO
I know but think of the pop. He got the best response the day before. Imagine if he's a saviour. Only thing that would go better would be if the undertaker, rock, cena or stone colds music hit
The best moment of the match was when Jey Uso and Damian Priest were trading blows and the crowd was chanting "yeet!" each time Jey landed a hit and "not yeet!" when Damian did
I personally hated the crowd but that's just me. I could see why some people would enjoy it, especially being there in person. But they were just TOO constant with that loud ass singing and chanting. It was charming at first, but eventually the charm wore off and it was just too much for me. It was legitimately giving me a headache the longer the PPV went on. I just wanted them to shut up so my headache could go away and I could simply enjoy the matches(which were great). It was so relieving once the PPV was finally over and I managed to experience some peace and quiet.
@@KingNekro yeah someone says the facts the singing was annoying and irritating specially between the matches it was ruining the fun for me to watch match
@@nathanswift2093 everything was fine with crowd reaction until they start singing and chanting in between every matches which ruin the fun can't even hear commentary due to that. If that was the case of watching from tv/online then what would be the case watching live from stadium
Overall this PLE was amazing. The only thing that was disappointing to me was seeing Jey losing another title match. Great match but expecting something different. I hope one day Jey gets singles gold. He's come a long way in such a short amount of time. Especially, since he's been in a tag team for over a decade.
@@JalenBro17 That all depends on what's going on with Jimmy though. Whenever he does come back, I feel that he deserves a better singles run too. I don't think that they need to be a tag team only when they get back together. They've done all that they could've done as a tag team. All they have left to accomplish is singles gold. I think that they deserve that before they ever retire.
That crowd was insane, the European crowd could be the thing to take this new era to a whole new level. I’m going to clash of the castle and I can bet my life, that myself and my fellow Scottish lunatics will keep this passion up, possibly to a new level. So much respect for the 🇫🇷 crowd. Amazing
the OG Guerillas of Destiny are now in the Bloodline. It was a great surprise where they thought they would get Jacob Fatu but they got Tanga Loa which is an unexpected surprise.
This was not only the best crowd, even better than Wrestlemania 17, it was the best B-PLE ever in my opinion. Even though everything was predictable, it was super well done. A+++
disagree, the crowd was bad, and you know that screaming and chanting makes a crowd worse. It's better to be silent and focus, and only cheer when necessary, not just chant and scream like all the time for no reason. And the ple was average at best with only 2 good matches. B-
I'm really pleased to see and hear that you enjoyed the show and the atmosphere. It must be said that this show was very important to us. We wanted to offer the wrestlers, the staff, the American public and the world at large a unique experience. But we also wanted to send a message to the media in our own country, who look down on wrestling. Fortunately, since Backlash, some of them are beginning to change their minds, and even some TV channels and newspapers have a form of pride. The fact that the public has made such an impression on the WWE. And if we have a new PLE in a stadium, the doors will be wide open. To make the most beautiful atmosphere in the history of wrestling. ;) I've had two nights of dreams I didn't want to wake up from, that's why I love wrestling so much.
I'm late, but I have to give more context to the "Phénoménale" song. It was mostly used after we won the 1998 Football (Soccer for you) World Cup, and was used mostly for Zinedine Zidane - a French football Legend. That is the respect they gave to AJ
Thank you for recognising that it’s a cultural thing with the atmosphere. Not just the lame excuse that America aren’t as energetic because they always gets shows. Same with the whole Philly night one of mania being cold as an excuse clearly don’t watch 3/4 of a European football season where it’s under 12 degrees Celsius most games but the atmospheres are always loud with people bouncing up and down.
SMALL STORY ABOUT THE EXTRAS THIS WEEK-END The security guards during the tag brawl at Smackdown and Backlash are french wrestlers and referees. Saturday morning at 10am there was an indy show in Lyon and the crowd just popped for theses wrestlers and chanted "Security ! Security" when they arrived just in order to congratulate them for being extras on a wwe show. Even with 8h (indy + wwe) of wrestling shows during this week-end, you can have a huge pop in France because you appered during a few seconds on TV. This week-end was awesome for us french fans that never experienced TV and we can finally show the world why wrestlers are often talking about France as a special place Seeing that almost (sorry for the fans that like quiet crowds) everyone liked our chants even if it was in French it just makes us so much happy and motivates us to do even better next time !
Great review Santi. I really liked Backlash. My favorite match was Kabuki Warriors and I don't care what anyone says. I thought Jade and Kairi were amazing. I know there seemed to be a mistake, but the fans chanted this is awesome during the mistake because the whole thing was so good. I hope Jade is happy with the match because she seemed a bit sad at the end. I thought it was great, and I hope WWE is very nice to Kabuki Warriors from now on because they've put everyone over and now they need some love.
Crowd was great but for those of us that dont speak french we didnt know what they were exactly saying during these chants. Wouldve been fun to know so it made sense when and why they were doing them.
Unfortunately for you, it will probably be the same in Germany because of the language barrier 😅 (And probably in Italy when they have one) However you will know for the next 🇨🇵 PLE 👀 Afterwards without wanting to be unpleasant 🤗, the chant “simplement deux” was present at each kick out at 2. And the "vraiment phenomenal", it's an old song with the word phenomenal so ... AJ - Phenomenal
@@thegameking3931 Man, you're one of the few to be convinced of your words while the majority of the WWE universe proclaims the opposite, question yourselves guys without kidding... It was the first PLE for us, it was Tama Tonga's first match in WWE, it was the first time that AJ Styles came to wrestle in France (to my knowledge), it was the first match between Cody and AJ Styles and it was Cody's first title defense! OBVIOUSLY WE SET THE ATMOSPHERE DUDE! I hope for your sake that you didn't know ECW at One Night Stand...
From football perspective , the french crowd is one of the best in europe top 3 hands down but the top 1 is the german crowd if WWE get that football crowd into Bash at berlin it will blow the world's mind
Now if this was a stadium WM PLE it would be awesome to see how loud they can get even in an open stadium venue..the crowd reaction would eclipse every past WM venues including WM40
it's not even professional wrestling, stop saying that. And no, screaming is not good. Why is everyone saying professional when nothing is in fact professional? Are you ok, santi fans
The two count chant was great but honestly it may have gone on a little too long for me personally 😂 but that crowd was honestly unreal I LOVED the energy for the main event
Went to Lyon a couple years back was one of the loveliest places I’ve been glad to see them get recognition from this event don’t know how us in the uk will top that 😅
Very proud to have witnessed this phenomenal show live and to have been a part of this amazing crowd ! We europeans are waiting for more shows in Europe, we'll be ready !!
imma do my own rating Randy orton and Kevin vs Solo sokoa and Tama - 4.7 star match Bayley vs Niomi vs Tiff - 3.9 star match Jey vs Damian - 3.7 star match Bianca belair & Jade vs Kabuki warriors ( probably spelt that wrong) - 3.7 star match Cody vs AJ styles - 5 star match Crowd - 10/10 Overall rating - 9.1 out of 10 Also that Top rope brainbuster through 4 steel chairs was absolutely insane
Totally agreed. 5 matches right under 3 hours. Every match felt quality. All the stars smashed it and the crowd enhanced it as well. I wish every PLE is international
The crowd literally did the same chant after every single 2-count to the point where it got pretty annoying for me. And they also sang the same song every time AJ did a semi-significant move in the main event. There were big momentum swings going down and they were still singing about what happened 30 seconds prior. It was taking me out of it. Guess I'm the only one.
Your not the only one. At the beginning it was awesome but at a certain point it changed the whole event for me. I felt the wrestlers were slowing the matches down and pandering to the crowd to much. Alot of wrestlers just stopping and looking out to the crowd to much every single match for no reason. Toward the middle it just felt like the crowd was there to prove something instead of being in the moment, I honestly would of hated to be in that crowd lol. It almost felt like a house show where there are just matches with no story telling involved.
yeah that crowd was insane. there was never a quiet moment 😂👌 i wish i knew some of the things they were chanting. also, it was crazy how in sync they were.
I can’t stop watching clips of Backlash because of how happy & excited the crowd makes me feel. Hands down the best wrestling crowd I’ve ever heard or seen🔥🔥
Only Problem I had with the crowd was the "simplement deux" chant after every fucking 2 count was getting abnoxious really quick. Like come on, do it a couple of times but they did it literally after every 2 count.
Thanks for your compliment about the crowd of my country ! I can’t say if we’ve been better than Puerto Rico, I’ll not be objective, I was there ! But, we’ve made as noise as them, with more than 5000 people less and without the local mega star in the ring ! 🐰 Congratulations to us ! 💙🤍❤️🥰
going back to quiet crowds is about to be depressing, nothing against US crowds but the shows abroad are so electric and it’s something i crave more of
Not only were they just insanely loud and enthusiastic, but they were actually cohesive as a crowd! It wasn’t just random people screaming when something crazy happens. They had every single person there involved in all of the chants (and they had a ton of great ones!)

Wow
Hello, for the chants:
When there is a 2-count, we go "Simplement Deux" (Only Two!), comes from a catchphrase from the French commentators.
When a heel character did something 'bad', we went "T'es pas gentil !" (You're a meanie) or "C'est pas gentil !" (This is not kind.)
During the main-event, when AJ landed on Rhodes' knee, the crowd went "Ça doit faire mal" (That's gotta hurt!)
And the chant for AJ is "Il est vraiment phénoménal" (He truly is, he truly is, he truly is phenomenal).
Comes from a stupid "camping chant" that you can find on UA-cam just by searching the lyrics.
Thanks for the info. I read your comment on Simon miller as well 😂
Thanks, I was curious about the two count one 😂
Thanks for the info!! 😮😁

Simply two not only two
simply = simplement and only = seulement
As a Puerto Rican, I am proud to say I feel that France tipped the scale as well. My hats off to France.

That crowd was insane, the European crowd could be the thing to take this new era to a whole new level. I’m going to clash of the castle and I can bet my life, that myself and my fellow Scottish lunatics will keep this passion up, possibly to a new level. So much respect for the 🇫🇷 crowd. Amazing
respect for the crowd for being stupid? why?

@@mihaimercenarul7467 I bet you’re an absolute blast. Don’t be angry with the world that your uncle touched you when you were younger.
I knew this crowd would be hot because when they went to France for the ufc it was the best crowd Iv ever seen
I remember that crowd in UFC. Absolutely crazy
the OG Guerillas of Destiny are now in the Bloodline. It was a great surprise where they thought they would get Jacob Fatu but they got Tanga Loa which is an unexpected surprise.
Meanwhile North American crowds play with beach balls to have a good time
🤣
Or throw weight belts back to the superstars while they are wrestling
Day 1 of asking for royal rumble winners in the next 10 years
Great video idea 💡
Who do you think he is….. *GOD🤦♂️*
I like this
@@j.t.a5395he predicted wrestlmania 41 a year later☠️
@@famous7934 yeah but it’s not like he can predict every one from 2025-2035🤦♂️
This was not only the best crowd, even better than Wrestlemania 17, it was the best B-PLE ever in my opinion. Even though everything was predictable, it was super well done. A+++
disagree, the crowd was bad, and you know that screaming and chanting makes a crowd worse. It's better to be silent and focus, and only cheer when necessary, not just chant and scream like all the time for no reason. And the ple was average at best with only 2 good matches. B-
Cody vs AJ was a modern five star classic in my opinion. Unbelievable match with a fun crowd
For Dave meltzer 3.5 because you are in WWE if this match was in all in 5 star
@dukecrenna1655 welp
I'm really pleased to see and hear that you enjoyed the show and the atmosphere.
It must be said that this show was very important to us. We wanted to offer the wrestlers, the staff, the American public and the world at large a unique experience. But we also wanted to send a message to the media in our own country, who look down on wrestling. Fortunately, since Backlash, some of them are beginning to change their minds, and even some TV channels and newspapers have a form of pride. The fact that the public has made such an impression on the WWE. And if we have a new PLE in a stadium, the doors will be wide open. To make the most beautiful atmosphere in the history of wrestling. ;)
I've had two nights of dreams I didn't want to wake up from, that's why I love wrestling so much.
Bro Randy Orton teasing the splash from the barricade and then coming down laughing was the highlight of the evening. He’s rly the GOAT
I'm french and I was there !!! It was too phenomenal thank you for your gratitude we love you from France ❤
Backlash 2 years in a row had amazing crowds
I agree this was a great great PLE from beginning to end , also I’m Puertorican and a cannot deny that this crowd was out of this world
both crowds where bad because of that. Stop screaming like idiots for no reason, brainless sheep
I'm late, but I have to give more context to the "Phénoménale" song. It was mostly used after we won the 1998 Football (Soccer for you) World Cup, and was used mostly for Zinedine Zidane - a French football Legend. That is the respect they gave to AJ
Thank you for recognising that it’s a cultural thing with the atmosphere. Not just the lame excuse that America aren’t as energetic because they always gets shows. Same with the whole Philly night one of mania being cold as an excuse clearly don’t watch 3/4 of a European football season where it’s under 12 degrees Celsius most games but the atmospheres are always loud with people bouncing up and down.
The temperature excuse was lame as hell. If you're cold, move, sing, shout. Keeps you warm you whimps
Hearing that crowd today made me feel like if I was watching a Fifa World Cup game. European crowds will always have the most passionate fans. 👏🏽
Especially the chant for AJ Styles. It was so good & catchy. 😂🔥
Word cup is way louder but understand your point
@@Gm3mk that’s why he said “feel like” lmao
@@JamaicanAvxry ok queen
@@Gm3mk next time, learn what a simile is queen 💀
CumZap, this video was so awesome and made me have a fun time!
The day WWE comes to Brazil, you will see what a real crowd is
That Will be fun
The Nogueira Brothers tried to feed a carrot to a bus
I believe it lol
That would be epic!
SMALL STORY ABOUT THE EXTRAS THIS WEEK-END
The security guards during the tag brawl at Smackdown and Backlash are french wrestlers and referees.
Saturday morning at 10am there was an indy show in Lyon and the crowd just popped for theses wrestlers and chanted "Security ! Security" when they arrived just in order to congratulate them for being extras on a wwe show.
Even with 8h (indy + wwe) of wrestling shows during this week-end, you can have a huge pop in France because you appered during a few seconds on TV. This week-end was awesome for us french fans that never experienced TV and we can finally show the world why wrestlers are often talking about France as a special place
Seeing that almost (sorry for the fans that like quiet crowds) everyone liked our chants even if it was in French it just makes us so much happy and motivates us to do even better next time !
Great review Santi. I really liked Backlash. My favorite match was Kabuki Warriors and I don't care what anyone says. I thought Jade and Kairi were amazing. I know there seemed to be a mistake, but the fans chanted this is awesome during the mistake because the whole thing was so good. I hope Jade is happy with the match because she seemed a bit sad at the end. I thought it was great, and I hope WWE is very nice to Kabuki Warriors from now on because they've put everyone over and now they need some love.
Shoutout to the santizap sign guy
Yeah I saw that I was gonna say the same things 😂😂
absolutely! right off the bat you hear the massive roar of the crowd- insane!
That crowd was flipping awesome singing everyone’s song. Great crowd
Santa is caring the WWE UA-cam scene keep up the good work ❤
Crowd was great but for those of us that dont speak french we didnt know what they were exactly saying during these chants. Wouldve been fun to know so it made sense when and why they were doing them.
Unfortunately for you, it will probably be the same in Germany because of the language barrier 😅 (And probably in Italy when they have one)
However you will know for the next 🇨🇵 PLE 👀
Afterwards without wanting to be unpleasant 🤗, the chant “simplement deux” was present at each kick out at 2.
And the "vraiment phenomenal", it's an old song with the word phenomenal so ... AJ - Phenomenal
I and thousands would love em in Portugal.
Pls WWE Im begging 🙏
We have to make noise in social media to get that, it can be house show in the euro tour we dont mind 😅😅
@@ricardoreis5353 um PLE provavelmente é sonhar alto demais.
The crowd made this PLE a 10-10, actual show was a solid 8-10!
10/10 is a stretch. The only two really good matches were the first and last one. The rest of the ppv was kinda dull. The crowd was great tho
You cant put wm 40 on the same level as this one bro
@@cerebralassassin2185 crowd singing was annoying and irritating in every matches
the crowd made it worse, we came to see a match, not french idiots screaming without even thinking
@@thegameking3931 Man, you're one of the few to be convinced of your words while the majority of the WWE universe proclaims the opposite, question yourselves guys without kidding... It was the first PLE for us, it was Tama Tonga's first match in WWE, it was the first time that AJ Styles came to wrestle in France (to my knowledge), it was the first match between Cody and AJ Styles and it was Cody's first title defense! OBVIOUSLY WE SET THE ATMOSPHERE DUDE!
I hope for your sake that you didn't know ECW at One Night Stand...
From football perspective , the french crowd is one of the best in europe top 3 hands down but the top 1 is the german crowd if WWE get that football crowd into Bash at berlin it will blow the world's mind
The crowd blew the arena roof off. I've never seen the fans in such a sync.
Now if this was a stadium WM PLE it would be awesome to see how loud they can get even in an open stadium venue..the crowd reaction would eclipse every past WM venues including WM40
this crowd is the reason why US needs more football/soccer clubs..
France is one of the greatest crowds in professional wrestling
it's not even professional wrestling, stop saying that. And no, screaming is not good. Why is everyone saying professional when nothing is in fact professional? Are you ok, santi fans
What a crowd! That was electric!
The two count chant was great but honestly it may have gone on a little too long for me personally 😂 but that crowd was honestly unreal I LOVED the energy for the main event
Went to Lyon a couple years back was one of the loveliest places I’ve been glad to see them get recognition from this event don’t know how us in the uk will top that 😅
THEY DESERVE WRESTLMANIA
The og bloodline (with sami zayn) vs Solo sikova's bloodline (with jacob fatu) at survivor series war games will feed families for generations
Roman bloodline vs rock bloodline in 5vs5 need to happen.
The crowd throughout the show elevated the show to new levels.
They need to do Royal Rumble in France and MITB in Puerto Rico.
Very proud to have witnessed this phenomenal show live and to have been a part of this amazing crowd ! We europeans are waiting for more shows in Europe, we'll be ready !!
imma do my own rating
Randy orton and Kevin vs Solo sokoa and Tama - 4.7 star match
Bayley vs Niomi vs Tiff - 3.9 star match
Jey vs Damian - 3.7 star match
Bianca belair & Jade vs Kabuki warriors ( probably spelt that wrong) - 3.7 star match
Cody vs AJ styles - 5 star match
Crowd - 10/10
Overall rating - 9.1 out of 10
Also that Top rope brainbuster through 4 steel chairs was absolutely insane
Totally agreed. 5 matches right under 3 hours. Every match felt quality. All the stars smashed it and the crowd enhanced it as well. I wish every PLE is international
Crowd wanted to be the stars more than the stars
The crowd literally did the same chant after every single 2-count to the point where it got pretty annoying for me. And they also sang the same song every time AJ did a semi-significant move in the main event. There were big momentum swings going down and they were still singing about what happened 30 seconds prior. It was taking me out of it. Guess I'm the only one.
Your not the only one. At the beginning it was awesome but at a certain point it changed the whole event for me. I felt the wrestlers were slowing the matches down and pandering to the crowd to much. Alot of wrestlers just stopping and looking out to the crowd to much every single match for no reason. Toward the middle it just felt like the crowd was there to prove something instead of being in the moment, I honestly would of hated to be in that crowd lol. It almost felt like a house show where there are just matches with no story telling involved.
During one of the entrances there was a guy in the crowd with a sign that said "I love SantiZap"!
imagine metalingus or cult of personality with that french crowd OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭
We would have loved or Stone Cold I hope the wwe in the future will come more often in France for us wwe superstars sound like gods in France.
yeah that crowd was insane. there was never a quiet moment 😂👌 i wish i knew some of the things they were chanting. also, it was crazy how in sync they were.
Someone just had your photo and I love santi zap text during Cody's entrance after "ooah" part
We Love You 🇨🇵 Merci pour ta Review ✨️🌸
WM 42 OR SUMMER SLAM 2025 SHOULD BE IN FRANCE
Crowd deserves a award
I can’t stop watching clips of Backlash because of how happy & excited the crowd makes me feel. Hands down the best wrestling crowd I’ve ever heard or seen🔥🔥
As a french, I'm proud of my country
Wwe should go back to France more often in the future
Hello, im French and im verry happy to know that people appreciate us. Big thanks
This crowd was insane. I actually can’t believe it.
This may be an unpopular opinion but idc, I feel that at some points the crowd stole the show and got a little annoying at times.
Only Problem I had with the crowd was the "simplement deux" chant after every fucking 2 count was getting abnoxious really quick. Like come on, do it a couple of times but they did it literally after every 2 count.
yeah it was annoying but the rest of the chants were cool asf
@@777mvtt absolutely, beside that, electric crowd for the whole show.
Thanks for your compliment about the crowd of my country !
I can’t say if we’ve been better than Puerto Rico, I’ll not be objective, I was there !
But, we’ve made as noise as them, with more than 5000 people less and without the local mega star in the ring ! 🐰
Congratulations to us ! 💙🤍❤️🥰
going back to quiet crowds is about to be depressing, nothing against US crowds but the shows abroad are so electric and it’s something i crave more of
scotland crowd is gonna be insane i can’t wait
The crowd was fantastic also I agree with you on they should do more Europe PLE
By far the greatest crowd I've ever heard. Like my god that crowd was insane y'all
wwe should have a international brand or show yearly besides saudi where they go on tour in europe for a month or two.
Not only were they just insanely loud and enthusiastic, but they were actually cohesive as a crowd! It wasn’t just random people screaming when something crazy happens. They had every single person there involved in all of the chants (and they had a ton of great ones!)
Imagine WM 40 with the French Crowd, the stadium would not survive at the Undertaker entrance
