Best Matches/Events with a Bad Crowd

General

What are some of the best wrestling matches and/or events that featured a crowd that was mostly if not entirely quiet throughout.

I’d be reluctant to include NJPW matches as crowds are purposely quiet in the beginning.

I don’t think you can have a great match with a dead crowd. Crowd reactions are essential. If it doesn’t seem like the crowd is interested in a match then I’m definitely not at home.

There’s probably a lot more examples of good in-ring work matches that are seen as great matches because of a great crowd response.

Hogan and rock is the best example.

For some idiotic reason WWE thought Toronto would boo Hogan lol. The crowd made that match

As for great matches with a dead crowd I agree it’s hard to have a great match with a dead crowd

I’d have to research but there were some from ROH back in the day that would qualify. Oddly enough Long Island was a place that would be notorious for it.

A lot of 205 Live matches could fit this question.

Anything from all japan after the exodus

A lot of 205 matches yes. The Gable/Gallagher matches should have had the crowd going bonkers.
