Two things:: one, it was loud enough in Madison Square Garden when Jimmy Snuka came out. But when the bagpipes hit for the next entrant and out came "The Rowdy One" himself, Roddy Piper, the place came unglued. Everything else in the ring stopped cold and just watched the Hot Rod and the Superfly go at it for a minute or so before they started up again.

Secondly, if you've followed the U.S. independent scene at all over the past five or six years you know who C.M. Punk is. While Piper and Snuka were going at it, the Punker is on the mat with what looks like a huge smile on his face and it's pretty obvious why. "Here I am in effing Madison Square Garden watching Snuka and Piper.. and I'm in the ring with them. I have arrived, baby!"
