They're gonna need crowd mute for Hammerstein. If they dumped all over One Night Stand, they'll sure as hell vomit all over IMPACT. I dont think it was One Night Stand they dumped on, but it was the one ECW on Sci-Fi show where the main event was Big Show defending the belt against Batista. I got them mixed up, but beyond a certain point the classic ECW fans hated WWE's version and would've dumped on it if it did Hammerstein.

Considering how Big Show handled the "old-school" ECW fans ("You can't wrestle!" "Who cares? I'm rich!"), I would actually love to see/hear Nash's response to their chants.

Whoever gets a "Golden Snack Cakes" chant started at the Manhattan Center show gets my undying love and affection.

It wasn't a poor decision. It was a booking decision made because the WWE wanted to show the ECW faithful that WWECW wasn't going to be what they remembered. So rather than give them a show reminiscent of the old ECW, they gave them the pinnacle of sports entertainment at the time. If that was the pinnacle of Sports Entertainment, then Sports Entertainment should be put out of its misery forever. Terrible match. Worse booking. It's like trying to have a steak roast with a bunch of Vegetarians and then wondering why everyone is upset.

They could've done Taker/Show, Flair/Show, Kane/Show... and they all would've gone over fine. I don't think Vince is dumb enough to sabotage something he's invested time and money in like he did nu-ECW... so why would he willingly tank it to prove a point? I think it really was Vince not having a clue that it would get shit over like it did. I think his mindset was "If old ECW crowds loved Al Snow, they should love Batista cause he's a bigger star I made". Why prove a point to embarass your company, new brand, network, wrestlers and sponsors even all in 10 minutes.
