WWE changes venue of ECW PPV

The 12/3 ECW PPV was originally scheduled to take place at the Hammerstein Ballroom, however, the crowd reactions at the 8/1 TV taping caused WWE management to change their minds. The PPV will likely take place in Chicago now. Its not official, but this move is likely to occur.

There was a lot of unhappiness with the crowd reactions at the 8/1 show, particularly regarding the swearing chants. The WWE production team had to turn the crowd audio really low at certain times because Sci-Fi doesn't want that kind of language on the air. Internally, the feeling is that the fan base was smart enough to know that, but they still did the dirty language chants anyways.



Thoughts?

Yeah, you don't have to censor out PPV's but WWE still does it, cause families watch the show, but really who gives a fuck, It's a shame the PPV won't take place at the hammerstein ballroom, it should still be, but why don't they hold it at The ECW arena now?

LOL if they wont hold the show in Hammerstein there is no way on Earth they will hold it at the ecw arena. But i agree with all the afore posts stating that its a fucking stupid idea to change the venue, I mean its live and its ppv its not on Sci fi so they have no need to tone down the chants, Vince is a tool

well....if you don't want the crowd to swear, put ECW wrestlers in it, though i think they have accepted kurt angle.

Kurt Angle was at an original ECW event. He was going to sign with them, but ended up leaving half way through because Raven crucified Sandman, and he got offended. If Raven didn't do that to Sandman that night, Kurt Angle would have been an ECW original.

Im calling bullshit on that article, the WWE knew what to expect from the crowd from the two One Night Stands they did at Hammerstein.
