In other news, according to Meltzer(wrestling historian with a few contacts within WWE) on his audio show, Vince doesn't want to do a three-way at Mania because he feels like it'd be a repeat of last year. They expected the backlash but not to this degree. And Rock is NOT HAPPY.
Apparently they are also trying to paint this as a Philadelphia issue. Blaming the city and the crowd and such. Basically they think it wouldn't have been this bad if they were somewhere else.

It is somewhat of a Philly issue, but not entirely. There would have been nearly as much booing in NYC/NJ, LA, Chicago, etc. The big tentpole WWE cities aren't a bunch of typical WWE Universe sheep. A big test to this theory will be how Boston reacts during RAW tonight (that is if the show can even get there through the weather).
