ECW PPV being moved away from Hammerstein
 

Gay.

:lol: @ them thinking that Chicago fans will be polite

*remembers Wrestlemania 22*

Imagine the pop that Punk will get making his ECW PPV debut in Chicago.

Well, that's a typical WWE move for you. Removing the one element that made the show and previous ONS PPV's a success...not to mention makes ECW unique from Raw/Smackdown.

Christ, talk about control freaks.

:foc: you Vince!

Assuming they will even book him on the show.

Damn...I would've went too. =(

Sci-Fi don't want those chants on their channel yet they agreed to the ECW deal? Anyone else think thats fucked up logic, I mean, what did they expect? Crowd chants are what can make a show that is shite seem good.

Oh ok fair enough then.

By that logic, though, Sci-Fi probably aren't the ones unhappy, either. See how that works?

I feel sorry for Paul Heyman.

I wanna see these ECW mutants go with the show.

How does worrying about crowd chants at a TV taping upseting TV execs affect the move of a PAY PER VIEW? :?:

I bet they're planning something like Cena coming in again.

Getting away from the MOST rabid fans in the US, New York and Philie, are the only way they're going to get who THEY want over with the fans. Because, let's face it, the marks are sheep, and will cheer or boo what the hear on TV if they get it enough, whether they be heel or face.

It's called the Vermaat Complex.

This Is Bulls**t! *clapclapclapclap

Well Chicago is a big ECW city and is just as vocal as New York, they'd be better off going to Indiana. People here are probably some of the markish fans around, so it'd be perfect.

You tell me when they make a grown woman almost cry on national television and we'll talk.

(I'm of course referring to the Lita/Matt Hard-related chants at MSG.)

It's kind of like punishment to the fans that were at the Hammerstein that night. They were told not to chant cuss words because they were on live TV, yet they did it anyways.

It's like the Circus coming to town and everybody in the audience chants "SAME OLD SHIT" at the acrobats. They won't be back to that town.

What are they going to do, throw out the entire crowd?

I'd love to see that actually. And then bring in "doubles" like they did for a reshoot of a Booker/Taker finish a while back.

The people at Hammerstein weren't told not to use cuss words because they were on live TV. I know because I was there.

LOL realy?

Did you tell them to go fuck themselves? *clap clap clapclapclap*

Damn those fans or be invested in the product! Doesn't anyone know the best was to interact at a wrestling show is to sit quietly with your hands holded in your lap???

A damn shame, that was the only WWECW show that felt like ECW and was good.

That is such bullshit. WWE wants you to cheer who you want and boo who you want. They just want you to want the guys they want you to want.
:shifty:

Speaking of which, it'd be totally awesome to hear an "ECWWE" Chant

Mark my words, one day soon WWE is going to start put people with cue cards in front of the crowd directing them who to cheer and what chant to make.

Yeah, Taker botched a roll up and had his shoulder clearly up. So after everyone went home they filmed it with like the first five rows in like one section filled with crew and shot it, just so they could have three seconds edited in.

Fuck that, the audience will be the same one in Smackdown vs Raw. The most fun in the show will be "Count how many of the fat T-Shirt Guys are out there!"

Jesus Christ. They must know nobody's watching.

McMahon: Hey George Lucas...got a sec?

Uhhh...They were in on it though.

Actually, on the Taker thing, it was an Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle match. Undertaker was supposed to tap out to a triangle choke (I believe) applied by Kurt Angle, but Kurt was supposed to be pinned at the same time. I think Taker may have been late with the tapping or something, though.

I remember that finish. I don't think I noticed.

I had read about it like the day after, but watching the show, I really didn't realize it. The camera angles, combined with the "fan doubles" had their effect on me, but I did think it was super lame when I read about it.

Man that was fun, If Cena literally was raped and killed in the ring we would of cheered for him.

Anything else, we booed.

Yes. This makes so much sense.
