Interesting story of WWE's craze in France and two key people responsible for it

The WWE Backlash 2024 emerged as one of the best PPV events of the company in recent times. The crowd in France's Lyon was brilliant and was responsible for the mammoth success of the event. Not many anticipated the event to be so exciting. The crowd made the event exciting with their chants and singing. It was almost like watching a Football match.

However, the fans outside France were perplexed with some of the chants which were used in the event. They were in French. Some of the chants like 'Simplement deux', which means 'Just two' were regularly used by the crowd. The culture of WWE among the fans is mostly credited to two commentators who have been responsible for teaching the crowd about the company.

Philippe Chereau and Christophe Agius are the two French commentators who have been regularly educating French fans for the last 20 years. The two have been telling the fans about the stories of WWE and translating them into the local language. While many know their contribution to WWE in France, it is being claimed that the duo never takes credit for doing so.

Dynamics in French Commentary

In Backlash 2024, the fans were loud and sang the songs of many popular wrestlers like Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Jey Uso. It is being claimed that the WWE culture amongst the youngsters has been a result of the growing popularity of Wrestling in the region. The duo of Philippe and Agius take sides and make the fans understand the importance of each character.

While Philippe mostly cheers the faces, Agius roots for heels. The duo has a lot of gags and jokes which go well with the fans. In one of the moments in the match, the table where the two sat was destroyed. The fans could be heard chanting 'Agius-Chereau' which showed how big the impact the duo had on the fans. Before making it to the ring on Smackdown, Cody had shaken their hands as a mark of respect.
