This match just goes to show how good of a performer Cena is. He's getting booed out of the arena, fans are chanting "smurf you Cena", and "Same old crap", and Cena's not rattled. He just goes about the match, and it's not bothering him. And then like someone mentioned earlier, you have Batista. He gets pissed that he's getting booed, and it obviously rattled him. Cena's got that confidence, that when the fans are booing him he won't get thrown off his game. Yes, I am a fan of Cena. I'm definitely not a John Cena fan, but I'm also man enough to put him over when he deserves it. I don't think he could have possibly gone into that match expecting anything BUT to get booed out of the building, so he played the heel just as he should have. I think he's a fantastic performer. He's just not a great wrestler. Batista, on the other hand, seems to have one hell of an inflated head, which is why he took his ball and went home like a spoiled little kid. I'll take John Cena over Batista any day. That really pissed me off. How much freakin' hold does Tista have in the WWE? He's obviously on something, and if not now, was, and shouldn't be the WHC in a time when not being on steroids should come first over grudges against basketballs. He got ECW barred from it's home in the Hammerstein Ballroom, and got Ariel fired cause he was a prick. So yeah, I'd take Cena over Tista anyday. As much as I think Cena is bland, I'm glad he's the head of the company because he is a good role model. However, to me (and probably the old ECW fans) being a goody two shoes isn't what I have in mind as being something I would cheer for. Not gonna lie, we were a bloodthirsty pack. And I accredit the need for "spotfests" to us East Coast fans too. If you've ever been to any other part of the country, life does not move as fast as it does in say NYC. By nature, we aren't people who can watch Dick and Bill spend 30 minutes in tie-ups and rest-holds. I'm sure down South it's custom to wrestling, and again, the lifestyle down there isn't as frantic and fast-paced as it is on the East Coast. Thinking very philosophically, I think the ECW style was tailor-fit for the people who lived in the area. No, it wouldn't have translated well to somewhere like Memphis. But you know, Jerry Lawler has no right calling our form of wrestling "garbage wrestling", unless I can call his idea of wrestling "homoholding". It's just a different style to fit a different audience. ECW fit the East Coast to a T. And you can't really expect that to translate nationally. But if they did only tape ECW in areas that the fans were rabid, I'm sure ratings would be up. Watch RAW in 1998. Do you hear the pops for just about everyone? It sure as hell makes me more interested than the chants we get now.

Find a Manhattan Center ROH show, you'll get this type of crowd from that.

I wish it did take place in the ol' ECW arena. A lively crowd makes everything better. Current ECW crowds always seem like they just woke up from a nap.

NYC=NJ Junior, but without the personality. Yes its clear that by putting lots of ">>>"'s that you prove you are the one who is correct. Where should I begin to tear apart your post? Dumbass claim #1: Philly boo'ed Santa. So your city is better because your fans boo'ed some guy dressed as Santa? LOL. Dumbass claim #2: You have cheesesteaks. We have hot dog carts. This needs a correction. Philly doesn't have a monopoly on cheesesteaks. You have a famous deli that makes really good cheesesteaks. There are about 15,000 of them in NYC. Get a clue. City vs City? NY is the capital of the financial world. The unofficial capital of the whole planet. Just like the song says "If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere." Philly? If you can't make it in NY you go to Philly to get old and fat by eating lots of cheesesteaks. Philly isn't even in the same league as NYC. People around the world don't plan once in a lifetime trips to visit Philly. We have the Statute of Liberty, Empire State Building, everything in the entire borough of Manhattan. You have the Liberty Bell? A cracked bell. Yippie. Brooklyn pwns Philly. Philly shouldn't even be in the same breath as NYC. Sports teams? The Phillies are a crap franchise. Your claim to sports fame is boo'ing Santa during an Eagles game? Gay. The Eagles are a crap franchise. The Flyers? HAHAHAHAHAH. The 76'ers? What a joke. The Yankees by themselves have more world championships than every Philly sports team combined. You guys suck. Philly's only claims to fame: 1. They boo'ed Santa during an Eagles game. Wow I'm so impressed. 2. They have a deli which serves good cheesesteaks. Only about a million of them in NYC. 3. Your sports teams are pathetic. The Eagles made the Superbowl and what happened? Oh that's right they lost. NY has a superior legacy of sports franchises. Final point: NY is better than Philly in every way possible except crime rate which Philly is always good for. Your city sucks.

Your city sucks. I love point and counterpoint. I will bring it to your attention that Nashville > NYC. Why? Our crime rate is high. So what? Crime is a lifestyle, and around here, us 'country bumpkins', have a solution: the death penalty. Do the crime, and get stuffed full of poison. Our sports teams (or lack thereof) are bland. They suck, but we are still proud of them nonetheless, no matter how much they win or lose. Championships are, at best, material possessions. We don't need to 'roll' like most of the other big cities. So we don't. And that's all I have to say about that, ya'll. (BTW, I am a Vermont native. )

I too live in the Nashville metro area. Better than NYC ever will be. technically since i livedin Ohio for 14 years, i'm not really offended by the Philly teams suck post since im a fan of teams in OH. I will say this owever, had Steinbrenner got he team he wanted to buy the Indians would be like 12 time world champs in the last 30 years. I agree Brooklyn is the best of the 5 boroughs, because the Bronx smells like shyte, Queens looks like shyte, Manhattan is full of whores and derelects and Staten Island might as well be Newark. NYC is in no way the "unofficial capial of he world" I do believe That London, Tokyo, Paris, Rome or Beijing may have something more to offer in that capacity. i know London is 20x better than NYC so i'll go with London. I love NYC sports fans always pulling out the Yankees..... The Yankees have nothing on AC Milan, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Olympique Mersailles, the Montreal Canadiens or the Central Red Army, i bet he Yankees would lose to the Cuban national team in a game, so bah on the Yanks, and if i recall i believe the Mets are the number 1 seller in the NY area in Merch, so whats the Yankees bandwagon have to say about that. Yankees fans are mainly in NW Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan and every wigger in the rest of the US. I hope the Sox finish this hing so i dont have to see that h*mo Jeter celebrating another AL East title. Yankees suck, Jeter Swallows, NYC follows.

that match made me respect cena. if that was me (and rest assured it wouldn't be, as i wouldn't have the balls to go out there with the whole arena wanting me dead), i would've panicked and ended it quick. how cena got throught that night without either mentally breaking down or dying, i don't know.
