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!
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.
@@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
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
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.
@@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

@@tcox07jacketshis life wasn’t in danger internet mark. Those fans were just inbred bozos that you find in their parents’ basement at home. Not stupid enough to really do anything. The outcome was the outcome because that’s how Vince wanted to promote WWECW. Next……

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.

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.
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
@@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.
@@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 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.
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.
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..
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
@@DarkPikachuYTV 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
That made me love John Cena. They complety tryed to rip him apart ans he played with the Fans. At the End some even started to Respect him. Look at the Crowd close before Edge Shows up.
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😂
I remember the first ECW: One Night Stand was so special. It was such an amazing thing at the time. You felt the energy at home. The second one was cool, too. I was so excited when they came back but was quickly disappointed as the show went on. It ended up becoming just another WWE program. I feel like the first One Night Stand was the closure everyone needed.
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🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.
@@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
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?
@@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
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.
Classic match. Never been a massive Cena fan but the proof is on the pudding with moments like this. A legend. The way walked to the ring. The belt held up. The cap on and the head down. He just fucking gets it.

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.
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
I was blessed to witness this as kid. This is my favorite ppv of all time
This moment was low key a great moment in wrestling
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. 💪🏾💯
Damn even the security was giving cena the bird 😂😭😂
Cena was legendary that night. Can’t deny it
Most legendary show, most legendary crowd
Such a great show. Couldn't have been better..
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..
ECW was wild man. Being a kid back then was fun feel bad for all the these new kids.
John has been around the block for awhile now. All Respects.
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 👕
ECW Crowd understood the assignment
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
@@DarkPikachuYTV 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
That made me love John Cena.
They complety tryed to rip him apart ans he played with the Fans.
At the End some even started to Respect him. Look at the Crowd close before Edge Shows up.
That was the one crowd that reflected how people actually felt about Cena at the time.
Not everyone just those 🤡
Fans: This is OUR house
You all are visitors
I miss ecw💯
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!
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😂
AND THE THIRD GUY WAS ARENA STAFF
COME ON, THIS IS LEGENDARY
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
I remember the first ECW: One Night Stand was so special. It was such an amazing thing at the time. You felt the energy at home. The second one was cool, too. I was so excited when they came back but was quickly disappointed as the show went on. It ended up becoming just another WWE program. I feel like the first One Night Stand was the closure everyone needed.
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
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🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
@@kuyt20 I mean ur kinda right u can’t have darkness without light
@@kuyt20 but John cena does suck and WWE killed ECW mostly likely
@@kuyt20 also mark Henry is Retired
@@kuyt20 nah that hulk hogan angel wrestler sh*t is played out and for children us men LOVED ECW wrestling is a sport NOT entertainment thats where it fell off ppl like you who wanted the unrealistic good guy always wins and shoved down the ppls throats whether we want em or not bs
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
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
RVD is the best ❤❤😊😊 such a cool and laid back chill guy
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
this is my favorite cena entrance just something with the way he walked and looked plus the shadow that covered his eyes.
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 crowd was incredible 👏😎ECW 4 life
Imagine being that emotionally invested in something that’s not even real but scripted. So dumb
Smarks are notorious for behaving like this.
That crowd was the greatest wrestling crowd of all time. .them throwing back Cena's shirt was like damn lol
Crowd was awful
You can really tell that the wrestlers like to interview with this guy, I guess cus hes cool and respectful.
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.
That first One Night Stand PPV was amazing.
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.
Classic match. Never been a massive Cena fan but the proof is on the pudding with moments like this. A legend. The way walked to the ring. The belt held up. The cap on and the head down. He just fucking gets it.
When the crowd started cheering: "Die Cena Die"
I lost it😂😅
