Over the course of both nights, there was a running gag in which the audience would slowly build up noise whenever Shepherd attempted to get in the ring and then would loudly cheer whenever he made it. Shepherd would play up to this every time and always act surprised whenever he received a huge pop for getting in the ring. It was hugely entertaining.

It's a shame this won't come across as the episodes air
