That crowd was legendary lol
Maybe the closest to a heel Cena reaction we’ll ever get tbh
he was a heel when he was the Dr of Thuganomics
@@liamjohnstone1062 That was before Super Cena.
I remember a lot of wwecw hate at the time and then this ppv blew everyone's minds at how great it was, it was so good
The fans were great that night
@@tdestroyer4780Facts my nigga
This night is a testament to Cena's ability to work a crowd. A lesser performer would've just left it alone when the shirt was thrown back. Not Cena. He thought "this is the easiest heat I'll ever get" and then KEPT throwing it back!
Hell, they were even throwing toilet paper at him. I was dying laughing watching that
man giving Cena credit for the heat he got is some serious cope dude.
its not "to cena's credit" that he was hated so much. he was a baby face. He wasnt supposed to be getting -any- heat.
What always bugged me about that match was Cena actually had one is his best in ring performances just to spite the fans, but for some reason never did that again
@@Kugrox I'm gonna call bs. Cena was the face of WWE, but this was an ECW show prior to WWECW becoming a weekly show. This is not WWE tv. This was a true ECW crowd, giving Cena heat bc the face of that match is RVD. He's the face of ECW (aside from Tommy Dreamer or Tazz). In this situation John Cena got his only real dose of heat until the mid 2010s when we all got tired of seeing him fight Randy Orton 3 times a month.
@@Kugrox nah he’s a heel on this night and worked the crowd up into a frenzy a couple times by answering there chants
Can you imagine if Cena was supposed to go over and you look up and see a sign that says if Cena wins we riot. And you know it's gonna happen.
It was definitely going to be a riot if cena won
We in the UK were worried there was gonna be a genuine riot when Drew lost in Cardiff (Even Drew voiced his concerns). We got placated in the most British way possible though lol
And that was before it was "popular" to make that sign. Now you see it all the time. But the sign that night at One Night Stand was a legit warning. Haha
@@zacharyscott6779 yeah, we can see it on roman vs Sami recently, but nothing happen when Sami lost
If that was the case, NWA Ric Flair level of rioting
Oddly enough ECWs dying breath was it's loudest
because it was the connection to the modern IWC it spawned
You didn't watch ECW pre 2000 did you?
@@brianschaffer9220 😄
@@brianschaffer9220 I did but he’s actually right lol this crowd definitely did spawn the modern IWC this is in the mid-late 2000s and this was the start of the modern workrate that plagues wrestling today
@@jamirimaj6880nah it was wwe's bullshit mid booking
Cena had one of the most bad ass entrances in wrestling history that night
mofo came out like a MMA fighter, Like Hopkins in PR lol.
Enemy territory for sure!
He never gets enough props
Like walking into a lion's den
@@arthor8134as a lion
That crowd made it a real match
Not really. The match itself is kinda average. It's the crowd reactions and energy that made it iconic.
@@dildoniusthat’s what he was trying to say I think.
@@dildonius What do you think the original comment was trying to say??🤦♂️😂
Probably number 1 for me when it comes to wrestling fans reaction for this match.
They Always Did
The dude that wiped his ass with it was flipping him the hard double bird too lmaooooo classic moment.
There was a guy that spat on it with more intense rage and hatred than anything I've ever seen
Pure hate Hope he's doing well...... 😆
Lmao he really meant that 😂😂😂😂😂
He was so p*ssed 😂😂😂 he really did mean that sh*t
Cena read the room, and for one night only after his face turn, played a heel once again, and it was great
Cena sometimes jokes that actually, ever since 2006 he's always been a heel because the crowd hated him so much. I think this attitude explains how he managed to thrive in spite of the older crowd's rejection of him.
@@tafua_aI guess in a way the fans got a heel cena many times and never knew it 😂
Actually he was just a Babyface with a Heel reaction.
No, the audience were the heels
maybe the heels were the friends we made along the way. 🤷🏾♂️
Interestingly enough, I bet that’s the most valuable Cena shirt too simply because of this story.
Yeah that shit would probably go for 6 figures at a charity auction 👍🏻
@@Heavy_C no it won't stop it lol
@@vft5593 you’d be surprised what people will buy stuff for bro
@@Heavy_C
I bet his feet pics would sell for more than 6 figs
@@Adiossean Someone would buy it but wouldn't pay 6 figures lol one of the most expensive items sold at auction was a WrestleMania 25 flyer signed by everybody on the card and it was sold for 30,000 this one shirt isn't selling for more than 3 times that. A hall of fame ring sells for 3500
Props to Cena dealing with that crowd
Honestly knowing cena he would’ve probably been upset if the crowd wasn’t like that
Cena probably loved it lol
@@scottyriptide5991 That match was so great because Cena did all the same stuff he normally gets big pops for but did it with a big 'fuck you' smirk on his face.
He knew the score.
@@demonsuckafucka6828 kurt angle would love this crowd. He takes the "you suck" chants as motivation
I hated Cena's character, but the man is a hell of a talented worker.
How did Rob NOT know. ECW crowds have always been legendary and intense
I'm curious about that because ECW crowds have always been notorious for their reactions. I would figure out if anyone knew what they were in for he would have had an idea.
He knew they would be rowdy but not to the point they had to change the outcome of the match because cenas life was in danger
Props to Cena, came out like a boss. Head down, belt up high!
Yeah he’s brave. I would’ve folded to be honest.
Yeah, and he lost like one too. Cena sucks.
Since those days, cena never missed a bit . He kept working fans and never disappointed .
He disappointed fans after everything he did in pg era
@@shafqatishan437 blame Vince.
@@shafqatishan437you're hypocrite 😂😂😂

The single greatest night in ECW history
I was there for many shows in the late 90s. One night stand 2005 was definitely the greatest night in ecw history. 2006 was the moment where RVD finally got the world title. Unfortunately he followed up with some bad decisions
@@Running1982 the one time going extreme costed him more than any other
@@tornado2366 That's the straight up truth
Greatest night in WWE ECW history*
@@jesseinfinite No. Ecw history. I was at the major ones. 2005 One night stand will always be the greatest night. 2006 was close but didn't have the magic of 2005
ECW had a different breed of audience.
Straw hat man
People will never know
Faith no more guy 👍
Yeah it's called Inbred lol
Travelled 3 hours each way across Toronto for a house show in Mississauga.
RVD was a main eventer who should’ve held many more world titles than he actually did. One of those guys who was over with the fans from day 1, and carried a lot of heat with certain talent because of his zero effort connection with the fans. Real recognizes real, and the fans always loved RVD, no matter what company he was with. Him going over on the first Monday night TNA was the right call. But he should’ve been more long term than Jeff, because he was much more dependable. Vince also left a lot of money on the table by canning him over weed. He and Cena had a natural chemistry, and probably could’ve gotten 2 years out of their feud, with Edge in the mix.
Triple H's reign of terror never helped either
I love van dam but that was on him why he didn’t have the title longer in WWE he wasn’t as dependable as cena or edge especially at that time still was a iconic wrestler and moment
AMEN! Especially since they were recently selling T-Shirts for Matte Riddle that say 4:20 on them... My how times have changed...
To be fair, RVD cost himself tho….Not like WWE had a choice at the time to take the titles off him asap after getting in trouble
@@christhecommentator3411 RVD was smoking, yes. But nowadays in most states there's no penalties for that, just like how in all states you can smoke cigarettes and drive without penalty. But not only does Matt Riddle smoke pot, he endorsed it on his merchandise. Riddle aside, the Usos are main eventers, just like how Nia Jax was headlining the women's division before the cutbacks. And yet a dangerous employee to her fellow workers was fine to keep. Just like it's still fine to keep Jimmy Uso despite his numerous DUIs and other disturbances, etc. But I guess you can only get away with that kind of stuff if you're in the right family. Despite all the boring promos and crappy matches. Meanwhile Rob has never had a bad match in his life, gave everything he had every time he wrestled, and got pulled over once without making a scene or resisting arrest.
Come to think of it, didn't Flair get away with making sexual advances on a defenseless flight attendant and no penalties to him or his career take place? Strange how Van Dam got the biggest push of his life derailed for the tiniest "offense" and Flair is still regarded as a legend. I wonder how Heidi Doyle feels about this scenario?...
With all the special promos they’ve done through the years and the constant one upping they’re trying to do at wrestlemania, it’s crazy to say that ECW one night stand is one of the most iconic nights of wrestling ever seen.
Best live crowd I've ever seen. One of my all time favorite PPVs.
Cena is a master at adapting to a situation. He always has crowds in the palm of his hands
@Beans world lol 😂 what?!
He didn't have that crowd anywhere near his hand. They were squarely with RVD
@@Dekartz Cena “a baby face” knew he was gonna be showered with boos and he decided to play into it and be a heel, and that crowd ate it up
@@Bubba1025 I would say he more picked it up during the match than "knew", he came out playing the Cena hits and was booed for them. Doing the same thing he'd normally do and getting booed for it isn't really "playing into it"
@@Dekartz nah they 100% knew the WWE guys on the card we’re gonna get booed. They hated him and he played into to it to get a louder reaction.
I still remember that ppv pretty well. That crowd was brutal.
Ecw wasn't for pussies
That wasn’t a ppv.
@@rell8664 Umm it was WWE's first ECW branded ppv event. Idk what you're talking about saying it wasn't.
Same was 11 in 2006 watching ECW one night stand time flies.
@@Tigerdriver91Academy The first WWE ECW branded PPV was the one in 2005 actually. Although the 2006 one might be just a little better. My favorite match on the card had to be The Edge and Mick Foley vs. Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk tag team match. Terry Funk is legitimately crazy.
"RVD!" "RVD!" "RVD!"
That was a REAL ECW crowd
Thankful every time I see a callback to this match that I was there live - it's not hyperbole when they say that crowd was absolutely rabid
That was hilarious. Great match. I hate that they couldn’t give RVD the clean win but otherwise it was really special
It was extreme rules its a clean win 😂bt ik wym
Blame Vince on that one😂
What confused me was when John put in the stfu on rvd and he went to the ropes the ref tried to break it up which was confusing because it’s a extreme rules match and there’s no rope breaks
@@mrslayer3946 they do that for Elimination chamber too and it always bothered me
@@mrslayer3946 honestly that was prob just a duh moment the ref had lol. He prob tried to break it just out of habit and wasnt thinking lol. If i had toguess that would be it.
Being known as the guy who threw his shirt back is cooler than having it 😂
yeah, if it was me i woulda bought the dvd so i could show my friends haha
One of the best genuine crowd reactions ever the “throw it back chant”
Props to Cena to even wrestling as a heel that night. Cena was a master at reading the crowd
wtf is there to read? 😂
@@poindextertunes the crowd obviously
😂😂
This match is one of my all-time favorites. The crowd was lit, the quality of the match was good, and the ending was great
John Cena was the first wrestler that I became a fan of when I was little. Watching one night stand was the first time I thought “am I rooting for the bad guy here? Why is everyone booing Cena?” 😂😂 I had no idea about ECW and how loyal the fans were
Mines was shawn Michael's, when he turned heel against hogan, I was still rooting for him, it was the first time I ever root for a heel
@MarkDanger777 in your case, it aged well to root for HBK instead of Hogan 😂
Jesus I wish I was there. The Cena Swallows chant had me rolling and the match was 5 stars. That crowd wouldn’t be shown on tv today but every wrestler wishes to perform in front of it. Thx to everyone who had a hand in that event.
Legendary PPV. So happy I lived to see that Live on PPV. ECW 4LIFE!
I was there that night. I just knew Cena wasn't gonna be ready for us. Had he actually won that match it would have been a real riot. Manhattan would've been torn down🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People rip on company guys all the time but it took a real company guy in Cena to go through with this
Cena still went out there and gave them a show despite the hostile crowd RESPECT
Like the the ENTIRE crowd said, “F U Cena”
Yeah that was me lol. Also the you still suck chant. Cena did have probably one of his better matches in years that night.
Wtf was he going to do leave?
He was probably loving it. That was real heat, and he knew he wasn't getting cheered before the event even started.
Now he knows damn well how they were gonna act 🤣
He said that was my crowd
Fans had signs that said if cena wins, we riot. And i believe it.
Bro I remember watching this live! I was just getting into pro wrestling and ECW was like a myth and legend. What a way to come back.
I was blessed to witness this as kid. This is my favorite ppv of all time
Awesome stuff. I missed the entire Cena era, and enjoy these stories about him. I remember RVD being one of the top dogs of the underground & caught a little of the beginning off his wwf run.
Cena turned heel for that night and my god he was so good at it.
john cena didnt turned heel that night the crowd had turned heel
@@farhanshafi1996 Cena turned heel 100% as he wasn’t the face of ecw. Rvd was.
@@jaybreacher4430 in case u forgotten ecw was bought by the wwe in 2003 there is no face of company concept in wwe now its the people had assumed that wrestlers like john cena and roman reigns was the face of the wwe everyone is equal in wwe but because of low trp of the shows the wwe official workers usually focus on a particular person for the ratings to go on top and fyi john cena was a face at that time. i think u r just kid thats why u r saying all this with all due respect
I was no expecting u so soon after that long hours live stream, thank u for keeping us glued to our phones 😊
No cap, Black dude in the dress shirt shootin' the bird at John Cena is my cousin from Queens lol he worked for MTA
Edit: he just retired
That night defined Cena's career.. it established him as the biggest star of pro wrestling... ciz handling that crowd
I 1000% believe there was no better professional than Cena to be able to handle a crowd like that
RVD is maybe the most underrated superstar. Dude put himself on the line, Every night, he had some of the most fantastic matches of all time with some of the biggest stars but because he was with ECW, he was kinda looked down upon, and he wrestled for smaller promotions, but he was definitely top-of-the-line WWE Talent! That man Deserves Hall Of Fame, and to be recognized as one of the best high flyers and one of the best of all time. Not in the top five, but he is definitely someone to mention every time you bring up as one of the Best.
Imagine how much you could sell that shirt for it's iconic
I remember staying up till 4am on a school night watching this at 13 years old. I know a lot of people don't think it was as good as the 2005 one, but the 2006 one was still pretty epic.
This moment was low key a great moment in wrestling
That crowd was incredible 👏😎ECW 4 life
It's still real to the ECW crowd.. I woulda gladly taken that Cena shirt. Huge fan of John and understand and respect the spot he was given and why he was given it. Nobody worked harder at that time than big match John. And if it wasn't for John the company might not be as global as it is today. John was a big time talent, and you must respect his work ethic
Nah it wasn’t real every one just messing
@@Dark-Pikachu1 Nah the ECW fans are a negative cult influence. There the "we will try this at home" kind of people. Look at all the backyard cheap production crap little indie companies do. It's all ECW inspired. The crowd actually having real genuine hate for a performer just doing his job, makes them all MARKS. Go back and see what Edge says when he had his spot that took down Cena in the match. The crowd was louder than hell yelling "THANK YOU EDGE" It couldn't have been more real to them that this was actually a real match lol
ECW was wild man. Being a kid back then was fun feel bad for all the these new kids.
It's definitely one of my top crowds I wish I was apart of.
No, they are not "real fans" at heart. They are a toxic fan base
You mean just because they don't like wwe guys?
@@TJ-fe7rr I think he means that they act childish over a guy that they hate
Most legendary show, most legendary crowd
I miss ecw💯
These moments as a kid watching were what really made these times stand out. WrestleMania 22 and ECW One Night Stand 06’ were my very FIRST ppvs I ever watched when I was in elementary lol but these times were so vivid I remember them like yesterday
John should've came as Master of Thuganomics for that night
I tell you what, that's one of the best performances I've seen from Cena. The ability to adapt to that situation the way he did, knowing he was the heel for one night and play it that way was so amazing.
That crowd was legendary that was the first time cena actually got booed booed
One of the best entrances he had, walked into a sea of hostility and held his championship high
One night stand 2006 was legendary..
ECW Crowd understood the assignment
U gotta give cena props for doing that.
From Philly and my neighbor who would babysit me, her son actually worked for ECW building the rings and shit, and we'd always wrestle each other and watch vhs copies and man ECW holds forever a spot in my heart.
Imagine 2014 Roman Reigns in that ECW environment.
Yeah he would've walked out
@@jaydennis7631 He would have frozen like a puppy. A big puppy.
2016 Roman probably would have leaned into it though, by that point he was used to it.
@@jaydennis7631tribal chump would've been a pussy too
“The third guy wiped his ass with it” I’m currently dying of laughter at 6 in the morning on my toilet😂😂😂
It was a black dude that wiped his ass with John Cena’s shirt. 😂 I love wrestling. It brings everybody together .
Imagine wiping your butt with a shirt 👕
this is my favorite cena entrance just something with the way he walked and looked plus the shadow that covered his eyes.
Cena was legendary that night. Can’t deny it
You can really tell that the wrestlers like to interview with this guy, I guess cus hes cool and respectful.
Cena seems like a nice guy who was just over pushed by the boss.
What about him being a China shill?
You have to show cojones to handle being at the top
His body of work is phenomenal, both in and away from the company and he fully deserves all of the plaudits he’s been given. I don’t think he was overpushed at all.
I doubt it. He seems like a brown noser
@@chaelsonnen7947 it’s not that Cena didn’t deserve his mega push. It’s that he entered ‘overpushed’ territory with Super Cena and never losing, and didn’t have enough 2nd or 3rd guys
He even basically buried Angle, Hbk, Batista, Orton, Big Show, Edge, etc and they never really were able to be the 2nd top guy, Cena kept the top spot for himself, and he stopped any sort of momentum or build of younger guys like Wade, Alex, Ryback, etc
Cena Marching in with EVERYONE booing the shit out of him, With his Eyes shadowed under the Cap with the belt over his head was GANGSTA as hell.
Such a great show. Couldn't have been better..
Met Rob Van Dam on saturday evening in Montreal, he was a fantastic guy, we talked wrestling for about 10 minutes and he signed a replica belt for me.
That crowd was the greatest wrestling crowd of all time. .them throwing back Cena's shirt was like damn lol
I’ll never forget watching this live and loving every moment of it!!!
Wwe crowds arent like that anymore. The closest thing we've gotten since was in AEW. When fans turned on Cody he threw his belt in the crowd & they threw it back😂
Dude flippin the bird to Cena is legendary😂
That was the one crowd that reflected how people actually felt about Cena at the time.
Best crowd ever chills the whole match 😊
Imagine being that emotionally invested in something that’s not even real but scripted. So dumb
Smarks are notorious for behaving like this.
Man I there live this was 1 of the best shows put on wwe I ever seen still gives me goosebumps watching video of the ppv!
Lmfao ecw wanted strictly anti heroes and villains nun of that loyalty respect honour bullshit
Yeah. Thank f**k they went out of business. You can't really build a platform off of a bunch of stupid marks no matter how loud they scream live or on the internet.

I watch that match a few times per year. Love that hot crowd. That Black dude snapped. Gave Cena the double bird. RVD was our guy. 💪🏾💯
This match was perfect. The amount of respect that Vince showed RVD on that night forever earned RVD's respect of Vince.
Even if I hated cena, I would've kept the shirt, screw the ignorant fans lol
How could you call them ignorant? They are ECW fans, Cena personified everything ECW was fighting against in the wrestling industry why the fck would they want his shirt?
Why would you want to keep the shirt of a Chinese sellout?
Ecw princess
@@0326Vetdude was just doing his job
How is wwe mistakes his faults?
Besides that shirt is worth tons of money they were really stupid for throwing it
@@G.slayer bs he went above and beyond to keep himself on top during that era, admittedly he did get a lot better later on and started putting the business first and he wasnt anywhere as bad as Hogan his predecessor but still none the less he relished the spot he had then and made some bad calls and buried a lot of guys he shouldn't have and the ECW fans knew that
Saw this when i was 8/9 years old ecw one night stand 2005&06 both were way too much violence for someone my age . To me , still to this day one of the greatest crowds/ moments in all wrestling..
how much would cena t shirt be worth now?
Yo! I was thinking the same, F Cena but I would have kept the shirt to sell on ebay
Especially after being thrown back, now there’s heat attached to the shirt 😂
Probably 10-20 bucks as there would be no way to prove that it was the same shirt that Cena threw.
@@tdestroyer4780 if the camera catches you taking and keeping it you could use that as proof plus a pic of you holding it at the stadium
That first One Night Stand PPV was amazing.
And they ruined it by having edge interfere. He was not needed. I don't care that it furtherfueled the Edge and Cena feud. The interference wasn't needed.
Rob is the best, man.
We were Hardy fans after their match at Summerslam, I think it was…we asked Rvd for an autograph / asked what gym he’s goin to..he kindly said “why do you care..you’re Hardy fans! Sorry!”
No offense taken, and he was still very polite. Been a fan ever since!
😂😂😂 holy shit he said that!?
@@angelbsb272 yes.
Mostly joking / being really nice.
Coulda been worse…Stone cold flipped us 11yo kids off n walked away (Debra, nice as can be apologized n signed autographs for us, though)
Damn even the security was giving cena the bird 😂😭😂
John has been around the block for awhile now. All Respects.
The fans that night were legendary!The best crowd reaction EVER!
bro the NY-ecw crowd was nutzzz back in the days i remember going to an event from ecw...tag teams remember seen rey misterio jericho sht was hell break lose, the matches bloodie af ,... loved it
The love shown to ecw and tna will never be seen again
My favorite crowd moment
The shirt getting thrown back in a second time will always be hilarious
I was in Calgary alberta when a fan threw the shirt back at Cena lol. Everyone laughed.
The best intro and one of the best to ever do it, and that is the proof.
