Epic Reine Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 Warrior/Hogan is an example but does anybody else know matches where half the crowd was cheering for one guy and the other half was cheering for the other?
Zetterberg is God Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 Angle/Michaels is the most recent example.
CanadianChick Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 I want to say late 2003, but I can't be sure. It was a PPV match (No Mercy maybe?) between Cena and Angle. The crowd was very split.
Guest Shadow Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Samoa Joe and CM Punk I and III. II was all Punk.
The C Man Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Why is it that split-heat seems like a bad thing? Why does every match have to be face/heel? I can understand why there are very few heel/heel matches, but what's so wrong with face/face?
Guest Shadow Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 In the opinion of Vince McMahon "It splits the merch sales". It's fine for Mid-card or whatnot like Rey/Eddy but rarely will they push it as a main event.
Special K Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Split heat is a good thing IMO, since it means the crowd's being vocal and likes both guys. WWE probably hates it, with the rare exception of big face matches like WMVI, because it goes against their booking.
Guest Eric the Eagle Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 I would guess TNA's Heel Section (while they were still around) must have created sime marvelous split heat. Personally, I love it. As C Man said, it means everyone's into it, and, X-Pac heat aside, what kind of reaction you get is secondary to actually getting a reaction. I've worked one match with a roughly 50/50 crowd myself, and that was a huge blast. Since they start playing off each other, the crowd genreally gets damn hot really, really, fast.
Guest The Decadent Slacker Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Jericho & RVD had the fans about as split as i've seen at Unforgiven '01.
IWD Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 I haven't seen it in a long time, but how about Angle vs HHH (Royal Rumble 2001 I think.) I seem to remember that being about 50/50. Cheers.
Guest Shadow Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 I dont remember ANY crowd heat. It was dead.

DrVenkman PhD Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 As previously mentioned (but with uncertainty), Cena vs Angle at No Mercy in 2003, feautring the neat "Let's Go Cena!" / "Let's Go Angle!" dueling chant. That was followed up at WMXX with "Let's go Angle!" / "Angle Sucks!" dueling chants in his match with Eddie.
Naked Snake Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Raw in Toronto this past year. "Let's go Chris" which was clever, but also a 50/50 crowd.
brighty Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Undertaker/Bret Hart at One Night Only. that was brillaint. it wasn't cheering for both men, it was fans of the other guy booing both men. every single move in that match got booed, LOUDLY.
LooseCannon25 Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar....I think it was Backlash 03 It was in Cena's home state and he was getting a lot of love from the crowd
Vern Gagne Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 What prolonged feud did both wrestlers receive 50/50 heat? Angle and Micheals split the crowd at WM? But, Angle was the definite heel leading up to the match?
