ECW on Sci Fi 07/18/06 Review


Show opens with Kellys Expose which is as usual broken up by Mike Knox which leads to:

Mike Knox def. The Sandman - On the floor, Knox pulls Kelly in front of a cane shot by Sandman. Low blows in the ring by Knox... 1,2,3. Not great.

"The Reject" Shannon Moore shown in the back staring at the camera.

Paul Heyman promo - rehashes what he said last week which brings Tommy Dreamer to the ring. Dreamer says Pauley owes he and the fans and explanation. After a dramatic pause Heyman kisses Dreamer (?) and Test runs in and demolishes Tommy. WTF.

Balls Mahoney vingette similar to last week.

Sabu def. Stevie Richards - A non-extreme rules match designed to prove Sabu can wrestle with the best of them. A solid match I enjoyed, Sabu gets the victory with the camel clutch.

CM Punk vingette talking about how he has trained all over the world and has many styles and immense discipline. Debut him already, he is saving my love of this show!

Vampire vingette talking about Show vs. 'Taker. Ariel draws the death card.

Big Show nc. The Undertaker - Not great but watchable considering the sources. Match goes to a NC after the Great Khali interferes and Show and Khali double chokeslam 'Taker through the announce table.

I give the show a 6.

It's becoming increasingly evident that the purpose of ECW as of now anyway is to further Raw and Smackdown storylines. Blah.
