I nearly got kicked out of a house show at Braehead a few years ago - The Bashams were fighting someone (I forget who) and we were pretty close to the front. The crowd were dead (in fairness, we were watching the Bashams...) so I decided to shout 'Hit him Doug!' in as strained and OTT voice as I could manage - which was fair enough. Doug then tagged in Danny and he started hitting the other guy so naturally I started shouting 'That's it, get him Doug!' and repeated this three or four times while The Bashams tagged in and out quickly - the people round about us started to get really pissed off and complained to the stewards that I should be thrown out. Presumably the stewards at Braehead aren't really arsed about kayfabe or accurate commentary and told him to fuck off.
Incidentally that was the same show at which my mate screamed "I hate you Hardcore!" at Bob Holly in a lull in the crowd noise - he clearly heard him, turned and made eye contact. I've never saw someone bore a look of hatred quite like Bob Holly drew my mate, who promptly shat himself and sat down. How I laughed.
Being the highlights of the night - that's why house shows are shite.
