People on the net has this perception that fans are Toronto got together and went "ha ha lets cheer for all the heels, oh except for JBL, Booker, the Dudleys and Batista, ha, that'll show em". The only heels that really got huge support was Angle and HHH. Orton got a huge pop for winning the strap, but fans will always mark for a world title switch.

I think we just like who we like, and we cheer for them regardless of heel-face stuff. I mean back when Austin-Mania was running wild, we were like every other city, we cheered for him like crazy. So that whole Toronto fans cheer for heels for the sake of cheering heels is BS.

All Vince had to do was drop me an e-mail and I could have told him before the show who would get cheered and who would get heat. Its all about knowing your audience, but the WWE doesn't know anything, and thats why they are always suprised when stuff like this happens. Hell even DDP knows Toronto is a tough town to be a baby in.
Sorry but they never booed Edge before. I'm not saying they cheer heels for the sake of it. I'm saying they go out of their way to give the opposite reactions to what WWE expects whether it's right or wrong. They booed Edge and Benoit for the sake of doing it.

And cheering Hogan spawned months of terrible matches and angles so I'm still blaming you lot.
