LOL i loved the "Change the Channel!" chant!
WWE won't go back there cuz Vince's ego can't accept that there are fans that won't buy into his product. I don't know what is more embarrassing about that match- the crowd's reaction or Joey Styles' and Taz's ultra lame attempt to hide the fans reaction- "These fans are now chanting "Boring" and this match is anything BUT boring." Classic WWECW moment.

WWE will never go back to the Hammerstein. Vince knows he has pissed all over ECW, a highly influential company with passionate fans. The fans would boo the show out of the building if they ever came back.

Right now, they couldn't hold a show there even if they wanted to because ECW hasn't been brought back yet...

I think WWE is becoming hesitant to have shows where the crowd is potentially hostile. They could swap places with Wrestling Society X and be an underground promotion with handpicked teenage girls and little kids as their audience!!

I was at the ECW Hammerstein event which was was an awesome experience, nothing like regular WWE event. The crowd was great, I highly doubt the E will ever return which is a shame

I went to the show and I cheered London and Kendrick because they rock. I cheered Angle, I even cheered Rene Dupree. So, I don't just boo what WWE puts out, I booed Batista because he sucks. True ECW fans that aren't trying to get themselves over will not shit on everything WWE does, but they'll tell you what they don't like.

Yes, very odd and random and Shannon Moore wasn't there to impress the internet. Though I'm sure he cried on mysapce.com after the match.

I know fans want to see it because smarks love when the crowd shits on the product so they can say "We were right!!!" But from a business point of view, why would you run a show in a place where you know that people are only buying tickets so they can shit on the product and start idiotic chants that only exist for the purpose of the crowd trying to get themselves over?

They could still run a house show, they'd make the money and the fans at home would never see it. Plus people would call it the best house show ever because they had a good time cheering and booing who they wanted too.

ECW is very much warped from what it ever was when Hammerstein was token E-C-Dub; today's ECW isn't even ONS 2 ECW. As such, WWECW 2007 probably won't return to the old ballroom as a measure to avoid being totally torn apart by the die-hards. We might see Hammerstein edited heavily or if they decide to rehash the empty arena match, but not live.

No
The WWE's version of ECW would get slaughtered at that place.

Nah, they'll never go back. And I certainly don't blame them. I wouldn't do a show in an arena where I thought fans would crap all over my product.
Still, I know I'd enjoy watching how Hammerstein would react to Lashley.

It all depends on the talent that's booked there. I mean, Batista vs Big Show is a disaster waiting to happen. The thing was, Big Show actually got somewhat of a positive response when he came out. I heard people clapping for Big Show and everything, but it was Batista that got booed out of the building. Big Show wasn't a cookie cutter type wrestler, and really tried to make the ECW Title mean something, where as Batista was this big, jacked guy who got a break based on his size.
So Big Show got SOME decent reaction, but again, he's the heel. People are supposed to boo him. Like, if they booked it properly, these fans would love it. Like, I could even get the fans to cheer Lashley eventually if booked right (and by booked right, I don't mean have him as the All American Smiling Babyface who dominates everybody).
