That’s an interesting way to get fans involved and make an angle look like it’s drawing more heat.

  They had to do it that way so fans would know they won’t get locked up for doing it that night. If you so much as throw a straw at a WWE superstar, you’re getting thrown out.

Oh, so he’s Knux now? I was reading the Lockdown live results and thought it was a typo or something. Thanks for the heads up!
Not surprised to hear the trash throwing was scripted. I joked at the time that they probably had vendors going through the crowd passing out empty cups and wrappers.

I liked it, but I liked ECW’s chairstravaganza better.
