Test and Mike Knox def. Sandman and Tommy Dreamer - Entrances were way too long but it was a pretty fun brawl. My only concern watching this match was that this is what WWE believes ECW was all about but they counter-balanced it well with what came later in the show. After Sandman and Knox battled to the back, Paul Heyman and his riot police appeared and shoved Tommy into a barbed wire board in the corner leading to a TKO from Test for the win. It was fun to watch.
Sabu confronts Heyman in the back and says he wants Big Show. Heyman says not this week, not ever.
CM Punk def. Justin Credible - They handled Punks debut well and he was over with the NY crowd just like I thought he'd be. Credible got a lot of offence in but Punk takes the match by submission.
Batista video package... He's the Animal, we know... blah blah blah...
Back from commercial and the Brooklyn Brawler is in the ring. Says he's too extreme for RAW, too hardcore for Smackdown and he will be ECW champion. Out comes...
Kurt Angle def. Brooklyn Brawler - Squash. Obviously.
Vampire vingette, apparently his name is Kevin Thorne. I hate it.
Batista def. Big Show by DQ - Both are booed heavily by the fans, including chants of "you both suck" and "change the channel." Match was blah, Show gets dq'd after hittin Dave with the belt. After the match Sabu runs in and hits show with a couple of Arabian Facebusters untill Show falls off the ring apron through a table.
This weeks episode gave me hope for the 'new' ECW. There is talk of giving them there own tv taping and I think that can make a big difference is asthetics and just the overall feel of the show as the fans were "off the charts" as Taz would say.
On tonights episode (It's on Global in a day or 2 I think) it's Sabu vs. Angle.
