I’m out of it tonight, so here are the results of ECW on SciFi, courtesy of Rajah.com
* Jack Swagger b. Tommy Dreamer
– The match starts out in the ring but Jack brings in kendo sticks, chairs, and other weapons. He attempts a submission move on Dreamer with a chair. The match goes back and forth until Dreamer brings in a table. Jack uses it against him slamming him through it. He gets the win via pinfall.
* The Miz & John Morrison are shown on the screen talking about Survivor Series. The Boogeyman appears and scares them away.
* DJ Gabriel b. A Local Jobber
– Gabriel got the win via a second-rope shoulder block.
* Finlay vs. Mark Henry
– The match ends in disqualification after a brawl takes place on the outside.
Well folks, as announced yesterday, from now on you’ll be getting DVR reviews of all the WWE shows from yours truly, as my shift at work has changed to 3-11. We’re kicking things off with the post Survivor Series RAW, where John Cena is our new World Heavyweight Champion!
Well, I waited as long as I could, but alas, this crap does not, in fact, write itself. The WWE writers probably did the same thing this week, because this show absolutely sucked. I’m not even going to bother reviewing it, instead opting to give you the match results instead.
First, there was Stephanie McMahon’s RAW Superstar forum. The only highlight was Santino rapping in honor of “the rapping singer Akorn (Akon)” being there.
Kelly Kelly def. Victoria for some ungodly reason. Victoria attacked K-squared after the match, but she was rescued by the rest of Beth Phoenix’s RAW Diva Survivor Series team, with Beth herself hitting her version of the Implant Buster on Victoria
Batista def. Manu, as if we didn’t see that coming. Afterwards, Batista told Orton that he’s hated him for three years, and he’s going to kick his ass on Sunday.
Stephanie McMahon introduced Hall of Famer Chief Jay Strongbow, who came out and waved. That’s it. Nothing else to see here.
Then there was more Orton/Rhodes talky crap.
Todd Grisham introduces us to Evan Bourne. Before Bourne can update us on his ankle injury, Mike Knox gets in his face – then walks away.
Shawn Michaels has had millions of tag team partners, but he’s teaming with Rey Mysterio for the first time tonight. Not only that, he recognizes Dolph Ziggler!
Miz and Morrison def. Shawn Michaels & Rey Mysterio in the only entertaining match of the night. Rey hit Miz with a 619, followed by HBK hitting Sweet Chin Music on him – but Morrison caught HBK with Sweet Chin Music of his own, allowing Miz to roll on top of HBK for the victory.
We get a John Cena video package. Want to see it? Tune in to ECW tonight and SmackDown on Friday, I’m sure you’ll catch it.
Jericho wants equal time, and Stephanie McMahon says it’s ok.
Kane tells JBL that he doesn’t take orders well.
JBL and Kane def. Cryme Tyme when JBL tagged himself in and hit the Clothesline from Hell on JTG.
Mike Knox attacked Evan Bourne backstage.
William Regal and Matt Hardy went to a double count out.
Jericho babbled on about beating Steve Austin and The Rock in one night and having beaten everybody else, and how he’s going to beat Cena this Sunday.
Randy Orton def. CM Punk in a Lumberjack Match. Orton hit the RKO after Regal distracted Punk. Afterwards, a 32 man brawl broke out to end the show.
Hi everyone, JT here doing the ECW review. First, I want to thank Joe for the opportunity to do this. BTW this is my first ever review so be nice.
We start out with talking (as per usual). Matt Hardy comes out and wants everyone to text their vote for Mark Henry (I won’t be). Then Finaly comes out and says that since coming to ECW they have yet to face when the title is on the line and if they do Finlay will walk out as champion. This brings out Evan Bourne (to a huge pop) who speaks his case, but is then picked on by Finlay. Finlay called him Bourneswoggle (I lol’d) and that he had to outweigh the title by more than 5 pounds. Then Mark Henry comes out, speaks his case to a bunch of “What?” chants. I know there are some people who don’t like the “What?” chants, but in some cases they fit in just perfect as in tonight. He says how he is gonna prove that he deserves to be voted the one to face Hardy at Cyber Sunday. Hardy says that no matter what , he’ll still be ECW champion after Sunday.
WWE wants you to pick who refs the Jericho/Batista match. I personally won’t be voting.
Commercial Break–The new Spiderman game looks awesome, I hope it’s available for the PS2
Wrestlemania Tickets go on sale on November 8. I wish I could afford to go.
Match 1: Jack Swagger defeated Brett Badery via pinfall
Wow, I weigh the same as Brett (pointless JT fact). Turnbuckle, turnbuckle, flip, weird looking power bomb, Swagger wins. Then after the match Todd Grisham asked Jack about Tommy Dreamer, Swagger replied “Tommy who?”
To the back (take a shot). Lena interviews Miz and Morrison. They want you to vote for them. Miz thinks he can get McCain more votes than Palin can. JT rolls his eyes. I’m not a big fan of the Miz or Morrison, they’re both talented but I just don’t like them.
Commercial Break–Did you know that Smackdown is now on Mynetwork TV? Well if you didn’t know you know. Plus it’s Undertaker vs HHH this week. I personally will catch it either Saturday or Sunday, because I go out on Friday nights.
ECW had more viewers than shows on other cable networks (like anyone cares).
Match 2: Shad def The Miz via DQ
Back and forth matchup between the the two with a botched move by Shad, Grisham tries to talk ghetto, Striker tells he look more like Harry Potter than Kool Moe Dee (I lol’d). Both JTG and Morrison get involved, but Morrison got caught and Miz was DQ’d.
Commercial Break- Sanctuary is apparently a hit, too bad I’ve never heard of it.
This John Cena guy is returning, I wonder who that is?
Cyber Sunday promo, I’m not ordering
To the back (take another shot)- Tiffany (dressed as a go go dancer) is seen with Tito Ortiz outside the GM’s office. Gladly Ortiz isn’t allowed to say much (sorry Joe) but are then interrupted by Hornsowggle who it Trick or Treating 11 days early and in no costume (WTF???) They knock on the GM’s and who do we see, none other than SHAFT himself, not really just Teddy long dressed as Shaft. Hornswoggle gets his candy an is on his merry way.
Commercial Break– WWE wants you to pick who HHH pins at Cyber Sunday: Jeff Hardy, Koslov or both. If I were voting, I’d pick both.
Match 3: Evan Bourne def Mark Henry and Finlay via pinfall
Henry dominates at the beginning as Finaly and Bourne try to double team him but are unsuccessful. Then as Henry goes to the ropes Bourne duck sending Henry out of the ring leaving Bourne and Finlay 1 on 1 for the time being. Then Bourne hits a flying headscissors sending Finlay to a meeting of the minds with Henry. This somehow revives Henry (it sure wouldn’t revive me) and he regains control.
Commercial Break– Saw V, go see it or you might end up in Saw VI
We return with Henry dominating, then a free for all then some double teaming on Henry, knocking him outside again, back and forth between Finlay and Bourne as Henry slowly returns to the ring, then Henry regains control, then picks up BOTH Finaly and Bourne and slams them both, pins Bourne for only a 2 count. Finlay looks like he got hurt on that move (hopefully it’s not too bad). Finaly goes for a DDT and gets a 2 count. Atlas grabs Hornswoggle, throws him to Henry. As Henry attempts to slam Horswoggle, Finlay takes out his leg. Finlay then goes for the shillelagh hits Henry with it, the gets with hits a double knee off the top rope by Bourne. Bourne then hits with the Shooting Star Press and pins Henry for the win as we fade to black.
All in all, good program as per the norm with ECW. But then anytime you get to see the Evan Bourne Shooting Star Press it’s worth it. Thanks everyone for reading, hope to see you soon.
Well folks, this may be the only real-time you get out of me this week. That doesn’t mean that there’s not going to be SmackDown coverage on Friday night, it just means that it’s not going to be live, as my hometown Buffalo Sabres open their season. Anywho, tonight, it’s going to be CM Punk and Kofi Kingston returning to ECW to team with Evan Bourne and Ricky Ortiz to take on Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes, The Miz, and John Morrison.
