I am not an Iaconelli fan for a few reasons, but I am not sure what instance you are referring to? Was it when he caught his fish and pumped his fist?
Or the ending when he was announced the winner? Van Dam went nuts on stage when he won, jumping up and down. Yelas did not. I am not sure how I would react after winning the biggest tournament there is. Given Iaconelli's character I was not surprised how he reacted , but can you really fault him for being excited. Was he acting for the cameras? Possibly, but I have seen him on other shows and he seemed to act the same way no matter what. So I guess I presented more questions than answers, because I just don't know what to think about the whole thread.
On one hand you don't want people suppressing your true feelings, yet you don't want someone acting out just because of the audience.

My opinion of Mike Iaconelli remains the same. He made a complete and
total ass of himself. You never saw Yelas, Van Damm, or Hite act like
that when they won their crowns. To me the way Iaconelli acted rates
right up there with Terrell Owens(49ers-the Sharpie incident) & Joe
Horn(Saints-the cell phone)....classless.
I believe that you should act as if you've been there before. I wonder
if Iaconelli had a Sharpie on board would if he'd taken it out and
signed the fish?
