People read your post on this board on why you stopped supporting Bret, and they decided you were right so they decided not to pop as loud.
Honestly though, pops are not what they use to be in wrestling. In the Attitude Era, the pops we see now were reserved for the Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown. You YouTube most decent moments in either company, from 1996-2001, and you'd hear very loud crowds. As for Brets pop, may not be a large as Edge vs. Christian, but Edge and Christian are today's wrestlers, Bret gets that, his a Hall of Famer respect pop, but the, I can't wait to see him wrestle pop.

Toronto's a tough crowd in general, but in Bret's case if he had come out for the first time tonight and had not been subject to that horrible angle the past 3 months you would have heard an attitude era pop for him. But because they already ruined the whole comeback the Toronto fans just couldn't get as anxious as they would have been 3 months ago. Bret could have milked the We Want Bret and Thank You Bret chants instead of cutting them off, but the fact that he could cut them off says something. Nothing would have cut off the WM19 Hogan pop of the next night at Montreal.
As stupid as it would have been for business and longterm if Warrior's music hit and he came out to a long winded The Warriors stand behind you Bret Hart rant that would have gotten a huge pop in Toronto. And if he wasn't at TNA, Hogan coming out to Real American would have too. The truth is that Bret was never that over in TO as a face. In the we hate USA gimmick he was massive, and he post screw job Bret was a martyr, but the bum we saw tonight couldn't even get a great nostalgia pop.
Sikotic™:
They really need to keep Bret out of the ring in general. I thought Bret had more integrity than that. He makes Linda McMahon look like a decent wrestler at this point in his life.
Sikotic™:
And Buzz was either senile or high.
He kept saying WWF and talked to the Canadian crowd like they were Americans.
