told by someone who was at RAW: www.pwtorch.com/artman/publish/article_18877.shtmlI attented the live Raw in St. Louis Mo. and watched the following: During the Rosie Vs. Trump match while the whole place was chanting "TNA" and "VKM," Vince acted as if he didn't hear us chanting until a fan behind him repeatedly kept screaming TNA... TNA.. TNA into his ear. When this happened, Vince's smile to the match seemed to be toned down a bit. His body language seemed to go from excited to be watching such a bland match to slouched down and realizing that the whole Scottrade Center is chanting your competitors name! --------------- I'm sorry but, hehehehe ;D

He should pay attention to it. Your own fans are chanting the name of another company during a trademark WWE segment. Take a damn hint, stuff like Rosey v Trump and K-Fed v Cena isn't going to do anything except at the most pop one good rating. So what happens when the people who tuned in one week to see that are gone the next? It does no good what so ever.

The words 'Ha' and 'Ha' spring to mind, but I'm not quite sure how to use them

He can't exactly kick out all the people who are chanting "TNA" during the matches. Then the arena would only be about half full.

This hasn't happened to Vince since the "ECW" chants at KOTR 95

Vince probably just thought some hot chick pulled her top up during the match, which caused the TNA chants.
Vince also probably thought that the fans were chanting VKM as a way of thanking him for giving them Rosie vs Donald

I was watching the match on t.v and when this happened I could nt help but think that TNA was going to get a two hour show because of this

That crowd made me very happy. There should have been a split screen showing Vince's face during the match.

Fixed to reflect accuracy. ;D No no... but your close He can't exactly kick out all the people who are chanting "TNA" during the matches. Then the arena would only be about 1/8 full. Perfect.

I'm hoping this story is true, and that it does start to get to him, because right now, they need a fire under them.
Vince has spent 6 years revelling in the fact that his company was the last one standing, and perhaps he can start realizing that this was not necessarily a good thing.

Funny: A lot of people were chanting TNA and VKM, but all of them probably don't watch it.
And I'm a TNA fan.

And all Vince was probably thinking was: "You may be chanting that, but you've PAID to watch this." In that sense, Vince does have the last laugh, but that has to eat at him, considering his big ego. The more that people chant TNA the more likely other people will at least check it out on some level. Unfortunately, and I am a TNA fan, TNA only has one hour of TV time a week compared to WWE's five) to cram everything in, and it's been kinda jumbled up lately, so someone might not be "that" impressed if they do switch over to TNA, even though TNA has the better talent right now. Personally, I get more out of a crappy X-division match (and they've been pretty crappy lately) than most matches on RAW or Smackdown.
