Work the Crowd or Lift the Crowd?

[Nightshadeex]

I'm not always good with match aims. Can anyone who has more understanding help me with the difference between work the crowd and lift the crowd?

 

The way I think of it is that Work the Crowd doesn't so much rely on in ring stats, and more on charisma and psychology. It allows the fans to take a breather.

 

I think of Lift the Crowd as more of a fast-paced match to get the crowd into an action oriented phase.

 

The road agent descriptions of the two are very similar, and, in the end, I don't seem to ever put them in the right place.

 

Discussion of other match aims are welcome, as well.

<p>Work The Crowd generally belongs at the start of the show. Though, as long as you put a good match or angle in the first segment, you don't really need the "Work The Crowd" aim.</p><p> </p><p>

Lift the Crowd, in my experience, should follow a Calm the Crowd match and prep the audience for something like an Epic or Spectacle. Again, an angle can accomplish much the same end.</p>
