ECW started the night by accepting some changes to it’s advertise team. Tazz was M.I.A. for the night, but should be aback abutting week. He was replaced by Matt Stryker, and Todd Grisham was bushing in for the afresh ancient Mike Adamle, who is now the new Raw GM.
The aboriginal bout was Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely vs. Evan Bourne and Ricky Ortiz. Ricky Ortiz defeated Chavo Guerrero aftermost anniversary on ECW via disqualification, and Evan Bourne ran in for the save afore Guerrero and Neely got too acceptable of a assault on Ortiz. This set up the tag bout for this week, to acutely put Bourne and Ortiz over, and add some calefaction to a altercation Chavo Guerrero and Evan Bourne.
The bout backward at a appealing acceptable pace. Evan Bourne got the better pop of the bout aback he was tagged in. Evan Bourne hit a bifold knee bead to the sternum of a continuing Bam Neely, which was the best agitative action of the night. Bourne pins Neely via a actual different roll-up and Ortiz and Bourne get a achievement over Guerrero and Neely. Bourne backs up the access exchanging words with Guerrero who is in the ring, affronted over the loss.
Mike Knox comes out to the arena and starts acid a promo. He claims that he wants to “expose the artifice they alarm Finlay.” He shows the video of Hornswoggle and Finlay dancing that is acclimated in the Summerslam commercials and claims that Finlay has gone soft. Finlay interrupts Knox and comes bottomward to the ring. Finlay challenges Knox to booty a attempt at him to see if he has actually gone bendable or not. Mike Knox stares him bottomward and afresh backs out of the arena and up the ramp.
The abutting bout is Armando Estrada vs. Tommy Dreamer. This is Estrada’s aftermost adventitious to acquire a atom on the ECW roster. Afterwards some grappling aback and forth, Colin Delaney comes out to ringside and grabs a chair. Dreamer spots him and gets out the arena to accost him. Delaney turns about and is so abashed by Dreamers attendance that he runs and hides beneath the advertise table. Delaney acutely wants annihilation to do with a pissed off Tommy Dreamer afterwards he affronted on him and has busted him on abundant occasions. Dreamer gets aback in the arena to resume the match, but Delaney climbs on the accessory for addition distraction. Dreamer spots Delaney afresh and Delaney eats arena column and avalanche off the accessory to the floor. Estrada takes advantage of the aberration and rolls up Dreamer for the pin. Afterwards the match, Teddy Long enters the locker allowance area Delaney and Estrada are talking, and announces that abutting week, Colin Delaney will face Tommy Dreamer in an acute rules match.
The abutting bout is a jobber by the name of James Curtis vs. Braden Walker. In my assessment this was the worse bout on the card. The bout went aback and alternating for about three account afore Walker affianced Curtis via a ailing accomplished fisherman’s suplex.
The final articulation was the aboriginal anytime “Dirt Sheet” on alive television with Miz and Morrison. Miz and Morrison are in the arena and they jokingly accompany up their aboriginal bedfellow on the titantron, Mark Henry. However it is aloof a account of Mark Henry with the aperture cut out, and somebody abroad aperture amid to do all the talking and apish Mark Henry. They accomplish Henry out to be an asinine gorilla-man, and I got a few action out of it. Afresh they accompany up the aforementioned act with Chic Atlas. They booty a bargain attempt at chic album by accepting him say that he alone came aback to the WWE for money. Accepting heard abundant of their shenanigans, Mark Henry and Chic Album storm bottomward to the arena in an affronted fashion, and get in the arena to aces a action with Miz and Morrison. Miz and Morrison bound about-face the affronted men’s absorption to the titantron, and get their focus on their absolute threat, Matt Hardy. Miz and Morrison use the aforementioned affective aperture bit and accomplish the Matt Hardy account cry about not actuality acceptable at annihilation and consistently actuality in Jeff Hardy’s shadow. Matt Hardy ashen little time afore advancing out to the ring. Afterwards a huge pop and about ten abnormal of “Hardy” chants, Matt Hardy served up a annular of acerb blame to Miz, Morrison, and Mark Henry. The Miz interrupts Hardy and gets alone by a appropriate duke and rolls out the ring. Morrison goes to bite Hardy and misses, hitting Mark Henry instead. Henry makes abbreviate assignment of Morrison and tosses him out of the ring. Mark Henry and Matt Hardy are larboard in the ring, and afterwards a abrupt stand-off, ECW goes off the air.
My Assessment and Analasys:
Stryker didn’t do as bad as I anticipation he would at blush commentary. His bruised faculty of amusement was adequate for the night.
I am a fan of Evan Bourne, and I like that he is accepting actual accepted in the WWE, and hopes that he gets a acceptable advance in the advancing year or so, and I anticipate his altercation wit Chavo could be a acceptable dispatch bean for him. However, I still don’t like the name they gave him. Evan Bourne…ehh, it aloof doesn’t cycle off the argot like Matt Sydal.
I anticipate an acute rules or hardcore bout amid Mike Knox and Finlay has the abeyant to be acclaimed if done right, and I anticipate that is article that WWE should advance appear in that feud.
I don’t like Colin Delaney. I’m aloof activity to appear out and say it. I don’t anticipate he is WWE material, and I actually don’t see what they see in him. He is acceptable arena that punching bag roll, but added than that, I don’t see what they could do with him.
James Curtis, who was accomplished by Savio Vega, looked appealing acceptable in his bout with Braden Walker. Braden Walker, on the added hand, didn’t attending so great. He seemed afraid about afterwards he accustomed actually no pop from the crowd. He abracadabra the clothesline in his bout tonight. I absent calculation at 6 and it was alone a three minute match. It looked like he acclimated it aloof to buy time because he didn’t apperceive any added moves. His fisherman’s suplex that he acclimated in his achievement tonight was appealing awkward as well.
I adulation Miz and Morrison’s chemistry, and although I adulation them on ECW, it is a abashment that they aren’t accepting any bigger pushes, because their allure is gold.
Matt Hardy and Mark Henry are in a acceptable abode appropriate now, aggressive for the ECW title. Although it doesn’t accept as abundant authority in a lot of people’s eyes as the World Heavyweight and WWE titles do, it is applicable for them because they are on the top of a brand, finally. To me, it seems like the arrangement for ECW appellation holders are superstars who accept been about for a while, and never absolutely fabricated it to the top and backward their, and who never actually got a acceptable butt on a above title. So, abreast from CM Punk, superstars like Kane, Chavo, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, John Morrison, etc. , never actually fabricated it as a top adversary for the WWE appellation or the World Heavyweight title, and so now they are accepting their attempt at actuality the “king of a brand” so to speak.
