[CENTER][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/ECW2.jpg[/IMG] [B] ECW begins with a recap of Saturday Night’s Main Event.[/B] [B] Joey Styles:[/B] Hello everyone and welcome to ECW on Sci Fi, I’m Joey Styles here with my broadcast partner Tazz. [B]Tazz:[/B] Thanks Joey, what a great show we have lined up! [B]The music of Extreme Expose plays as Brooke, Layla and Kelly make their way to ringside.[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/BrookeAdamsAAF.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/Layla.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/BarbieBlank.jpg[/IMG] [B]Tazz:[/B] Wow, we’re starting of ECW with a little Extreme Expose! The three “diva’s” dance around for no reason until they are interrupted by the music of Allison Danger, who charges the ring and throws the Expose to the outside. [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/AllisonDangerkyky.jpg[/IMG] [B]Danger:[/B] These women are just a waste of space, they just prance around. They add nothing to wrestling, I on the other hand am a dominant force in women’s wrestling! Allison is interrupted by Melina, looking to get some payback for being eliminated from the women’s battle royal. Melina runs to the ring and starts cat fighting with Allison Danger. [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/MelinaAAF4.jpg[/IMG] [B]Tazz:[/B] Catfight Joey! Woo! [B]Styles:[/B] We may actually have a competitive women’s division now in the WWE it seems! Melina’s blindside attack gives her the advantage and she is able to throw Allison Danger outside the ring to the floor. ECW goes for a break as Melina poses triumphantly. [B] The Boogeyman vs. Elijah Burke[/B] [I][U]Semi-Final in the ECW TV Title Tournament.[/U][/I] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/TBoogeyman3_ndp.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/icon_vs.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/ElijahBurke2.jpg[/IMG] Boogeyman goes through his usual scare tactics at the beginning of the match, and although Burke is freaked out he doesn’t let the Boogeyman know it. This match goes back and forth for the first five minutes before Elijah Burke takes complete control using his background in boxing to stagger the Boogeyman. The ending comes with Burke sending Boogeyman into the corner before hitting the Elijah Express to end this match after 8:13, Elijah Burke will meet Tommy Dreamer at Summerslam for the ECW Television Title. [B]Your Winner:[/B] Elijah Burke [B]Match Rating:[/B] C+ [B]After the match Elijah Burke gets on the microphone:[/B] [B] Burke:[/B] See how easy that was Dreamer? I know that your more talented than the Boogeyman, but “I” am Elijah Burke…The Future of E.C.W and this Sunday I WILL be going home with the ECW TV Title. [B] Styles:[/B] Strong words from Elijah Burke [B]Tazz:[/B] Yeah Joey, but we can never count out the Innovator of Violence: Tommy Dreamer. [B]Triple H returns at Summerslam! A short hype video for HHH vs. Mr. Kennedy[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/TripleH.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/KenAnderson.jpg[/IMG] [B] Tommy Dreamer vs. Masato Tanaka[/B] [I][U]Extreme Rules Match[/U][/I] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/TommyDreamer.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/icon_vs.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/MasatoTanaka.jpg[/IMG] An exciting match between two ECW originals, with the extreme rules making it look like a good old fashioned ECW match. About 3 minutes in, Tanaka hit a sick chair shot followed by a suplex through a table for a close two count. Dreamer was able to respond and hit Tanaka with a few Singapore Cain shots. This match was overbooked with both competitors donning the crimson mask, but the fans loved every minute of it, especially the finish. Dreamer set Tanaka up and hit the Spiccoli Driver through a table for the win in 6:58 [B]Your Winner:[/B] Tommy Dreamer [B]Match Rating:[/B] B- [B]Following the match a bloodied Dreamer gets on the microphone to respond to Burke’s earlier comments.[/B] [B]Dreamer:[/B] Burke, you say that you’re the future of ECW? Well ECW is the home of hardcore, and at Summerslam I want you to prove that you’re the future by facing me in a hardcore, pinfalls count anywhere match. That is… if you have the balls. [B]Styles:[/B] Wow, Tommy Dreamer answers right back! I have a feeling interim general manager Shane McMahon may make this stipulation happen! [B]Tazz:[/B] Yeah baby! an old school ECW match at Summerslam for the Television Title. [B]After the break Shane McMahon is in the ring with CM Punk and John Morrison, looks like we are going to have a contract signing for Summerslam![/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/thShaneMcMahonAAF.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/CMpunk.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/JohnMorrison-1.jpg[/IMG] [B]Shane:[/B] With Summerslam being this Sunday, it’s time to sign the contracts for our ECW Title match between CM Punk [I]**Crowd Cheers**[/I] and our defending champion: John Morrison [I]**Crowd Boos**[/I] Now Mr. Punk if you’ll do the honours and sign the contract, then Mr. Morrison if you could sign the contract afterwards. [B]CM Punk signs the contract before shoving the clipboard into Morrisons chest.[/B] [B]Morrison:[/B] Punk, you just signed your career away, because at Summerslam the magician of mayhem John Morrison will make you NEVER want to wrestle again! [B]With those words, John Morrison signs the contract and hands it to Shane McMahon.[/B] [B]Shane:[/B] So it’s confirmed! Our ECW World Title will be on the line at Summerslam and also don't forget our Television Title match which will indeed be a Hardcore match. However our night isn’t over yet next up we have these two competitors, Punk and Morrison in action in their warm up matches. [B]Nova vs. CM Punk[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/Nova.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/icon_vs.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/CMpunk.jpg[/IMG] These two faces put on a decent match with the crowd still coming down off the contract signing. Nova got the advantage at the beginning by playing heel, and the crowd hated him for it. The middle of the match was a slower affair with Nova using a lot of holds, which probably bored the crowd a little. CM Punk got back into the match by reversing the Novacaine, and at the 5 minute mark CM Punk hit a running knee to be firmly in control. At 7:30 Punk hit the GTS to get the 1,2,3 over Nova and go into Summerslam with a victory. [B]Your Winner:[/B] CM Punk [B]Match Rating:[/B] C+ [B]ECW on Sci Fi returns from the break with Joey Styles and Tazz discussing Summerslam, when the mysterious countdown clock flashes onscreen yet again: 5...4...3...2, and like on Raw the clock stops at 2, before morphing into the Summerslam logo! What will happen at Summerslam??[/B] [B]John Morrison vs. Marcus Cor Von[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/JohnMorrison-1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/icon_vs.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/MontyBrown2.jpg[/IMG] A nice even match between two of ECW’s stars, Morrison using his aerial skills while Cor Von favoured power. The middle of the contest belonged to Morrison after a sneaky low blow led to the ECW Champ being able to hit his trademark corkscrew moonsault. The Morrison show continued until Cor Von powered out of a DDT attempt, and followed it up with a Gorilla Press slam. The Alpha Male continued to dominate until Melina ran down to ringside distracting the referee while passing the ECW Title to Morrison, allowing the Shaman of Extreme to hit the unwitting Cor Von with the belt when the Alpha Male attempted the pounce. Morrison then covered Cor Von also putting his feet on the ropes while the referee counted 1...2...3, The ECW Champ cheats to win in 8:23 [B]Your Winner:[/B] John Morrison [B]Match Rating:[/B] B [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/JohnMorrison-1.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/MelinaAAF4.jpg[/IMG] [B]After escaping the ring, Morrison walks up the ramp triumphantly with Melina by his side.[/B] [B]ECW ends with a hype video for the Summerslam matches: CM Punk vs. John Morrison and Tommy Dreamer vs. Elijah Burke.[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/JohnMorrisonVSCMPunkSummerSlam07.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/wwe_logo.gif[/IMG] [/CENTER] [B] Attendance:[/B] 9,029 from the Giant Center in Hershey, PA. [B]Show Rating:[/B] C+ [B]OOC:[/B] Sorry for the delay, I just had a mental block in regards to the match write-ups and tried something a little different. What are you guys thoughts on this slight adjustment?

[/I] [B]HHH[/B] vs. Mr. Kennedy [I]Trips, because unless you took his creative control away he probably won't want to lose to Mr. Kennedy.[/I] [b]Tommy Dreamer[/b] vs. Elijah Burke ( Extreme Rules, ECW TV Title) [I]Tommy for the title and like Booker... Burke for the pink slip even though in my games I usually keep him around as jobber since he younger than Booker.[/I] Chris Masters vs. [B]Kane[/B] [I]I don't think I have really seen anyone push Masters so I am going to say Kane.[/I] John Morrison vs. [B]CM Punk[/B] (ECW Title) [I]Punk, because he's better than Morrison. Even though I like Morrison.[/I] The Great Khali vs. [B]Batista [/B](World Heavyweight Title) [I]Batista... no brainer and this is coming from someone that doesn't like Batista.[/I] John Cena vs. [B]Randy Orton[/B] (WWE Title) [I]Because it's time for Cena to lose the title... oh wait that's in reality, but still Orton for the win.[/I]

I’m Michael Cole with my co-broadcaster John “Bradshaw” Layfield. [B]J.B.L:[/B] What a Smackdown we have tonight Cole, Finlay and Kane one on one! And Summerslam is tomorrow night! [B]Cole: [/B]Yes John, tomorrow night on pay per view it’s WWE Summerslam live from the Continental Airlines Arena in my home state of New Jersey! [B] J.B.L:[/B] Which is across the way from the great state of New York, my home town. [B]Cole:[/B] Sure is John, and how great is this? you and me are going to host the free WWE.com pre show just an hour before Summerslam with some great exclusive matches! [B]J.B.L:[/B] The only thing greater would be me returning to the ring! [B]Cole:[/B] First up though tonight, Victoria vs. Melina [B]J.B.L:[/B] Which has Just been made a Bra and Panties match Cole, woo! Not that you’d be excited by that though. [B]Cole:[/B] HA HA HA. [B]Victoria vs. Melina[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/thVictoriaAAF3.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/icon_vs.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/MPerez2_ndp.jpg[/IMG] Even though this was a Bra & Panties match nobody attempts to pull any clothes off straight away. Melina dominates early using her SNME embarrassment to fuel her rage, before Victoria gets back into the match by out wrestling and out thinking the A-Lister. The match gets it’s first taste of partial nudity in the 6th minute with Melina able to wrestle the pants off Victoria, before the favour is repaid with Melina losing the shirt off her back. The match goes back and forth for a little bit before Victoria ducked under a clothesline attempt and hit her trademark Sidewalk Slam before hitting the Widow’s Peak. That left Melina easy prey and seconds later the #1 contender to the Women’s title to got the win via pants removal in 8:07 [B] Your Winner:[/B] Victoria [B]Match rating:[/B] C [B]Time for Mr. Kennedy to Play The Game! Triple H Returns at Summerslam![/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/TripleH.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/KenAnderson.jpg[/IMG] [B]Deuce vs. Shelton Benjamin[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/JimmySnukaJr.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/icon_vs.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/sheltonav0.jpg[/IMG] With Domino and Charlie Haas facing each other on the Summerslam Pre-Show this match was an important momentum builder before the Title Match at Summerslam. Deuce is improving all the time and in the beginning Snuka Jnr is able to get the better of the former Golden Gopher, at one stage hitting a fine Belly to Back suplex. Five minutes in Cherry distracts referee Nick Patrick, allowing Deuce & Domino to hit the Crack ‘em in the Mouth. 1...2...Rope Break! Charlie Haas is able to put Shelton’s foot on the ropes, and Domino gets into the ring to complain allowing Haas to get even with the Exploder Suplex on Deuce. Nick Patrick takes a while to turn around 1...2...Kick Out! The ref took to long to count the pin fall. Still Shelton was in control and at 8:10 he hit the T-Bone, 1...2...3! Shelton gets a big win going into Summerslam, with Charlie assisting by chasing away Domino & Cherry during the 3 count. [B]Your Winner:[/B] Shelton Benjamin [B]Match Rating:[/B] C+ [B]After the break the camera’s are in Teddy Long’s office when Matt Hardy enters.[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/TheodoreLong.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/MHardy_ndp.jpg[/IMG] [B]Mr. Long:[/B] What can I do for ya playa? [B]Hardy:[/B] Teddy, You know MVP’s been ducking me all month, can you give me a US title match at Summerslam? [B]Mr. Long:[/B] Look, I know Mr. Porter’s been avoiding you Matt but I’m sorry dawg, Summerslam’s all booked out. How about you and MVP have some sort of contest at Summerslam, and at Unforgiven I promise, you and Montel will be fighting for the title. [B]Hardy:[/B] [I]**disappointed**[/I] Okay Teddy, I understand. I’ll have to try and get my hands on him later tonight. [B]Mr. Long:[/B] I knew you’d have the class to take it the right way playa, now go get ready for your tag match tonight.

This match was a good mix of Mat Wrestling and High Flying, although maybe not as exciting as the crowd would have liked for a Cruiserweight Showcase match. Noble looked in control slowing the match down and showing why he is the champ, before setting Crazy up for a tiger driver…which gets reversed into a huricanrana! The Insane Luchadore then goes on a short rally which includes a Crazysault followed by a spinning variation of the Crazybomb…1...2...3! Super Crazy gets a win over the Cruiserweight Champion in 8:09 [B]Your Winner:[/B] Super Crazy [B]Match Rating:[/B] C [B]Rey Mysterio will return this Sunday!

I’m a fighting Irishman and when I see another fighting Irishman, he earns my respect. Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you from Dublin, Ireland now residing in Boston: Ryan O’Reilly! [I][B]**O’ Reilly comes out to Finlay’s music and makes his way to the ring**[/B][/I] [B]Ryan O’Reilly vs. Kenny Dykstra[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/RyanOReilley.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/icon_vs.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/KennyDykstra.jpg[/IMG] O’Reilly was brutal with Dykstra, showcasing all his power while using a few of Finlay’s moves just for fun. Dykstra was always going to struggle in this match and after O’Reilly hit the Celtic Cross, he was also embarrassed when Hornswoggle came from underneath the ring to hit the mini Frog Splash on the prone Dykstra while Finlay distracted the referee. This was a longer squash than usual and it probably hurt the match, the ending coming after 7:57 with the Boston Lariat. [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/LittleBastard.jpg[/IMG] [B]Your Winner:[/B] Ryan O’Reilly [B]Match Rating:[/B] C [B]After the break Mark Henry is in the ring, it’s time for the Silverback Challenge.[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/MarkHenry2.jpg[/IMG] [B]Henry:[/B] Last Week Eugene tried to outsmart the Silverback by running around the ring avoiding me for the two minutes. So I had to show him you can’t outsmart the Silverback, and now he wants another try. So Eugene get out here and I’ll try to make this quick for you. [I][B]**Eugene comes out to face Mark Henry in the Silverback Challenge again.** [/B][/I] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/EDinsmore2_ndp.jpg[/IMG] Eugene starts off well using hit and run tactics to waste time and keep Henry on the back foot. However all Henry needed was to hit a clothesline to gain the advantage, then hitting a running power slam followed by the dreaded Bearhug. Eugene struggles briefly before succumbing to Henry’s brute strength, at 1:45 minutes in it’s over. Henry decides to make Eugene pay by hitting the Henry splash before exiting the ring. [B]Batista vs. Joey Mercury[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/Batista8.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/icon_vs.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/JMatthews_ndp.jpg[/IMG] A surprisingly even match at the start with a new look Mercury holding his own against the Animal. The former tag team champion uses fast offence to keep Batista from getting a chance to hit back. About three minutes in Batista lifts a gear, ducking under a Joey Mercury clothesline attempt before hitting one of his own on the rebound. Batista then showcases his trademark moves before hitting the spine buster followed by the Batista Bomb for the victory in 7:54 [B]Your Winner:[/B] Batista [B]Match Rating:[/B] B+ [B]After the match Batista is celebrating when the Great Khali appears on the titantron.[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/TheGreatKhali.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/DaveKapoor.jpg[/IMG] [B]Khali:[/B] Batissta, “speaking his native language” Summerslam Wuld Havywayt Chumpion!

[B]Batista then grabs a chair from ring announcer Tony Chimel, before using it to take out his frustration on the ringpost. It looks like Khali’s stunt didn’t make Batista scared at all, it just made him even more pissed.[/B] [B]Chavo Guerrero & Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Ric Flair & Matt Hardy[/B] [IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/ChavoGuerreroJr.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/montelvontaviousporter6xl2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/icon_vs.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/RicFlair.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/MHardy_ndp.jpg[/IMG] Matt Hardy started this match eager to get his hands on MVP, but MVP didn’t want to face Matt and let Chavo begin the match for their team. Hardy and Chavo started of very evenly matched, trading holds and at one stage both wrestlers even went for a running splash at the same time. Then it was a case of who could reach the corner first…Tag! Ric Flair enters the match and ensures Chavo doesn’t get to tag MVP in, before going to work on the former cruiserweight star. Eventually via an eye rake, Chavo was able to tag MVP into the match, with the United States champion cutting off the ring an making sure Hardy wasn’t able to re- enter the match. MVP hit a German suplex on Flair, before taunting Hardy by daring him to come into the ring…which Hardy did, squaring up to the US Champ. It looked like they were finally going to get in on until MVP backed out, tagging in Chavo. When the ref asked Hardy (the illegal man) to get out of the ring he decided to go after MVP, chasing him up the ramp. Meanwhile Chavo was able to hit the Gory Bomb on a beaten Flair to get an easy 3 count after 12:31.

[B]Flair:[/B] [I]**Out of breath** [/I]That’s okay Matt, you’re a heck of a guy and I know how annoying guys like MVP can be. The United States title is a prestigious honour and your truly worthy of not only a title shot, but to actually hold the belt. [B] The two then shake hands and hug before Matt raises Flair’s hand to the roar of the crowd.[/B] [B]After Smackdown comes back from the break the camera focuses on the Titantron which is only showing a large number 5, it then begins to countdown 4,3,2 but again stops at 2. Soon the number two morphs into the Summerslam logo before again morphing into the Smackdown logo.

When Kane was in charge his power was awesome with Finlay needing to resort to dirty tactics before putting on a mat wrestling clinic. Eight minutes in Finlay locked in the Celtic Knot which had the Big Red Machine in trouble, but he was able to get to the ropes. Kane got control soon after hitting the sidewalk slam before following up with a back breaker… [B]Cole:[/B] Hey look it’s the Masterpiece, what’s he doing here? [B]J.B.L:[/B] Getting inside Kane’s head.

[CENTER][IMG]http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z105/JobberJDH/internet.jpg[/IMG] [B]News and Notes[/B] D’Lo Brown has signed a short term contract with the WWE, more news as we get it. Ruckus, Frankie Kazarian, Sterling James Keenan, Elix Skipper and Javi-Air have been signed to developmental contracts by the WWE and will be working in FCW for the time being. Matt Anoai and Chad Collyer have been signed by the WWE and will be assigned to OVW. The poll on WWE.com about which artist will sing the National Anthem at Summerslam is currently deadlocked with Justin Timberlake and Brooke Hogan tied for top spot. Look for a mysterious rush of votes for Timberlake as Brooke Hogan was reportedly added as a joke. There is a huge rumour that WWE is working out a deal with ROH to sign Austin Aries, new Junior VP of Talent Relations Robert Bobson is said to be a fan. WWE are putting forth a proposal to have a working agreement in place where WWE can use ROH talent to be Jobbers and WWE can send down wrestlers to make Special Appearances for ROH at no cost to the indy promotion. WWE also recently signed off on a working agreement with CMLL and have been looking to get a development territory in the UK. World Womens Wrestling has opened today operating out of Ontario, Canada. They will provide competition for Shimmer as they both aim to be the best in North America. Press Release: We are a highly competitive federation aiming to be more intense than our Japanese counterparts. Our roster will be filled with highly skilled athletes - do not mistake this for another tits and arse fed! PWG have pulled off a huge coup by signing a deal with Mean Gene Okerlund, although will WWE still be able to use him to host the Hall Of Fame at Wrestlemania. UPW news now, Lil’ Nate and Nathan Jones aren’t on speaking terms after a backstage incident.

Super Crazy wowed the crowd with his high flying while Noble owned the mat creating a few near falls, firstly with a half nelson suplex then a inverted DDT. Super Crazy hit back with a tornado DDT and huricanrana, but this was Noble’s day when he hit the Tiger Driver for the 1...2...3. Jamie Noble retains his Cruiserweight Title.

[B]Lawler:[/B] Josh, I feel okay. King Booker may think I’m an old has been who hasn’t wrestled a proper match since the early 90’s, but anybody who’s opinion is worth a damn knows that I wrestle most weeks down in Memphis. I’m in better shape than when I was a World Champion, and I’ve learnt a lot of new school wrestling from commentating on Raw every week. [B]Matthews:[/B] King, Do you have any final words for Booker? [B]Lawler:[/B] Booker, Tonight I’ll show you that the King of Memphis is a lot better than the King of Bookerville, Now can you dig that... Sucka!

[B]J.B.L:[/B] All hail King Booker! [B]Cole:[/B] Next up we have a match that was taped during Friday Night Smackdown, between Charlie Haas and Domino. [B]J.B.L:[/B] This was taped yesterday to allow all four wrestlers time to rest up before tonight’s Tag Team titles match, which has been made a Tornado Tag Match. [B]Cole:[/B] Meaning ALL four men are legal at the same time. [B]J.B.L:[/B] Duh! I think everybody knows what a Tornado match is dummy. [B]Cole:[/B] But what they may not know is why Mr. Long made the Tornado Tag Stipulation. [B]J.B.L:[/B] Because neither Haas nor Domino could keep out of the match last night!

A dull contest in the end with neither wrestler able to get the crowd into the match. Domino ended up getting a win for the back for the Tag Champs, after Cherry distracted Haas who turned around just in time to get hit with the Throw Back.

[B]Maria:[/B] But you lost to Randy Orton in a number one contenders match and you also lost to John Cena one on one this past Monday. [B]Lashley:[/B] **Ignoring Maria** John Cena cost me a shot at his WWE title and now he needs to watch his back. I will beat John Cena and I will be WWE Champion. [I][B]**With that Lashley walks off.

[B]Regal:[/B] That’s right, Montel Vontavious Porter and Matt Hardy will face off in an arm wrestling contest. If Matt Hardy can beat MVP, he will get a shot at the United States title at Unforgiven. [B]Lillian:[/B] Arm Wrestling contest? [B] Regal:[/B] The Pay Per View doesn't have room for anymore matches, so in Smackdown's never ending pursuit of boredom, Teddy Long decided to waste more airtime with this arm wrestling nonsense.

[B]J.B.L:[/B] I’ve just been told that this is Mistico, one of Mexico’s great Luchadores. What is he doing on this side of the border? Mistico hits a top rope hurricanrana on Chavo, then Rey sets him up for the 6 1 9, while Mistico revives the referee. Rey follows the 619 with the Dropping the Dime, 1...2...3!

In the middle the match slowed down, but still had some good points like Dreamer putting the trash can over Elijah Burke before beating the hell out of it with a Singapore Cain and Elijah hitting Dreamer with an STO onto a chair. Tommy was brave but Elijah Burke got the victory after hitting the Elijah Experience though a table set up in the corner. Elijah Burke is the new ECW Television Champion!

The first few seconds is a stalemate before Hardy starts to push M.V.P’s hand down. No matter how hard he tries it looks as though M.V.P will lose this contest, until he suddenly overturns the table before grabbing a chair and smashing Hardy over the head!

If Cena got in control, Orton was able to peg him back and take over. About ten minutes in Orton got a near fall with a trademark backbreaker, before Cena returned the favour with a protoplex.

Nice way to debut Jericho. Intersting to see where this Mistico storyline goes. Rey and Mistico as a tag team would definately be a good move and would make for a lot of high flying matches. Also liked the tease of Triple H appearing during the Booker match as it would have come off really well on TV. Good pay per view.

Good stuff, shame about the rating, the angles thing bit me for my first few PPVs too. :o

Apparently creative feel he needs more improvement and some time back in development will help him. Chris Jericho returning was a big shock and WWE did well to keep it under wraps for so long. We can however reveal that he will be a Smackdown superstar to start with. The matches scheduled for the Heat taping tonight are: Paul London vs. Daivari, Brian Kendrick vs. The Amazing Red (FCW Developmental) and the Highlanders face Umaga in a handicap main event. In other news, wrestling legend Greg “The Hammer” Valentine has decided to hang up the boots for good.

Im glad the HHH tease worked out how I wanted it, I feel that Booker is going to retire soon and I want him to have one last run as Booker T.
