Not sure if this is the episode that will air on Global this Friday so I decided to watch it early.
Mike Knox def. Tommy Dreamer - Dreamer is still visibly injured from last week. After overcoming an early beatdown, Tommy takes over on Knox untill Paul Heyman and his riot police dudes hit ringside. Heyman distracts the referee as the other 2 destroy Dreamer on the floor, toss him back into the ring for a pin by Knox.
After the match the trio are poised to continue the beatdown on Tommy but the Sandmans music hits and he heads to ringside to protect him. Heyman tells Jimmy he loves Dreamer like his own son and asks the referees to take him away for medical attention... He then tells Sandman he will be in a handicap match tonight which leads to:
Mike Knox and Test def. Sandman by DQ - Sandman gets double teamed early on but uses his tremendous arial skills to take over and gets DQ'd after using the cane on his opponents.
Video package for Sabu and a pre-taped promo where he says he will get what he wants after he defeats Kurt Angle tonight. Dripping with Charisma...
Balls Mahoney vingette talking about how he loves ECW.....
Kevin Thorn def. Al Snow - Watchable match that started with a lot of intensity. I hate the gimmick but Thorn pulled out a few cool moves and got the win with the Razors Edge.
Pre-tape from Kurt Angle saying Sabu is suicidal for getting in the ring with him tonight.
Renee Dupree pre-tape, saying he will be the most extreme athlete in ECW. Ok....
Big Show comes out in a suit, says he wants to bring some dignity to ECW and no one can beat him.. Very odd promo.
CM Punk vingette thanking the fans from his debut last week and next week he will compete again.
Kurt Angle nc. Sabu - Really great match showcasing the best of both guys. Late-going Angle has Sabu in the ankle lock and who should appear but Rob Van Dam. He nails Angle, checks on Sabu in the corner, who gives him the thumbs up and then BOOM! Skateboards the chair into Sabus face. Celebrates in the ring, end of show.
Not a bad episode, I liked Van Dams return and the possibility of Sabu vs. RVD vs. Angle. I also like that they did not rely on a Raw or Smackdown guy for the main event.
