WWE: The Next Generation

[Mtm2k6]

Good show - did not see Edge and Edge-heads beating Taker, Mysterio and Batista - especially by pinfall. And I thought for sure that Triple H would use creative control to win - forgot Flair is his friend :S lol

[dse81]

Good to see Flair heading to Wrestlemania! Could be his last time doing it...

[iMac]

Thanks guys. I think it asks a lot of questions going into Mania. Will Flair's streak continue? What will happen now Edge has pinned Taker? Sets things up kinda nicely I thought. Raw Preview coming up:

We are live in Phoenix, AZ. And last night, we saw one of the greatest elimination chambers in WWE history. King: And in that elimination chamber, we saw perhaps the greatest performance of Ric Flairs career. And now the Nature Boy is going to Wrestlemania. JR: But you know King, Mr McMahon is not going to stand for that. He’s going to try and… well here comes the Nature Boy right now. We’re kicking off the show with the Ric Flair! [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RicFlair.jpg[/IMG] Flair: Last night… you saw me give everything I have… for the chance to face Randy Orton for the WWE Title at Wrestlemania. You saw, the Nature Boy… WHOO… go to the limit, for the love of this business. Every time I step into this ring, my career is on the line. But I will never quit. I will never give up. And I will go to Wrestlemania and I will beat Randy Orton for the WWE Title. And when I do… *HEY* JR: Well I knew it wouldn’t be long until we heard from the WWE Champion. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RandyOrton5.jpg[/IMG] Orton: Ric Flair. Let me be the first to congratulate you on winning the elimination chamber last night. And while it was a great achievement for you to win last night… it is going to be the last great achievement of your career. You may have won the rite to face me at Wrestlemania… but there isn’t a chance in hell that you’re gonna beat me. You see Ric… you are a… legend. And I am… the legend killer. I have made my name in this business by ending careers. And at Wrestlemania… I am gonna end your career… and I am gonna kill your legend. Flair: You know what Orton? You’re forgetting one thing. I… made you! You remember that group we used to be in… Evolution? I taught you everything you know. I took a young rookie, and made him a star. I know your every weakness, I know how to beat you. And at Wrestlemania, my legend will live on! WHOOO!! King: Wow JR, I never thought about that. Ric Flair is the man who helped make Randy Orton the wrestler he is today. JR: And if anybody can beat Randy Orton, it’s the Nature Boy! ---- JR: We’re back from commercial ladies and gentleman, and up next, the tag team champions, Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes take on The Highlanders.

They’ve showed how experienced a tag team they are. King: Right and Cody has to try make a tag if his team are to have any chance in this match. JR: Robbie tags in Rory, and once again the Highlanders have kept Cody down in their corner of the ring. Rory, sends Cody to the ropes, misses with the clothesline, flying elbow by Cody! Both men down now. King: And if Cody Rhodes is ever gonna make a tag now would be a good time. JR: Both men crawling towards there corner, here comes Robbie, here comes Hardcore Holly. Holly now, clothesline to Robbie. And a hard shot to Rory. And Cody back up, takes Rory to the outside. It’s down to Holly and Robbie. And here it is, setting up for the Alabama Slammer! Cover, 1-2-3. And Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes win again.

[IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/WilliamRegal.jpg[/IMG] Regal: Yes Sir Mr McMahon. I personally saw young Mr Hornswoggle running around earlier. Vince: Good, good. And that other problem I asked you to take care of… is that being taken care of too? Regal: Yes Sir Mr McMahon. And I hope you don’t mind, but I brought someone in to offer some assistance on the matter. Vince: Oh… do I know him? Regal: Yes Mr McMahon I’m sure you do. JR: What was that all about? Who was Regal talking about? King: I don’t know. But what does Mr McMahon have in store for Finlay and Hornswoggle? JR: Well we’ll need to wait to find out. But up next, it’s a divas match. And after losing last night to Beth Phoenix, Mickie James is looking to get things back on track against Melina. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/AlexisLaree.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Melina5.jpg[/IMG] [B]Mickie James v Melina[/B][/CENTER] *We join the match near its conclusion* King: Oh my God! I love divas matches. JR: Well I think we got that King. Melina now, hard shots to Mickie. Mickie sent to the corner. Melina charging, Mickie dodges her. Mickie now… King: Oh I love this move! JR: … long kiss good night! Mickie with the cover, 1-2-3. And Mickie James gets the win. And King does this mean she gets another shot at… King: Uh oh, here comes the glamazon. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/BethPhoenix3.jpg[/IMG] JR: Well I was just about to ask how this would affect the women’s champion and I think we’re about to find out. Beth and Mickie now, staring each other down and… oh, a hard shot by the champion. King: Beth Phoenix now trying to send a message to Mickie James, she’s not gonna let her have another shot at her title. JR: Well someone needs to come out here and stop this, this is… hey wait… that’s Candice Michelle! [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Candice_Michelle.jpg[/IMG] King: What is she doing here? JR: Candice Michelle back from injury, and she just sent the WWE Women’s champions sprawling out of the ring. Candice Michelle is back. [B]Mickie James beat Melina (C)[/B] ---- *We cut backstage to William Regal* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/WilliamRegal.jpg[/IMG] Regal: Ah, Mr Flair, thank you for seeing me. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RicFlair.jpg[/IMG] Flair: What do you want Regal? Regal: Well Mr McMahon decided he wanted to reward you for your efforts in the elimination chamber last night. Flair: He wanted to reward me? What’s the reward? Regal: Well, he decided you should have a match tonight. Against… the Samoan Bulldozer… Umaga. JR: Oh c’mon how is that fair? Ric Flair survives the brutal elimination chamber and tonight he needs to face Umaga? That’s not right. King: Well we can’t worry about that just now, cos we’ve got a match featuring Carlito and Val Venis. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Carlito.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/SeanMorley.jpg[/IMG] [B]Carlito v Val Venis[/B][/CENTER] *We join the match near its conclusion* JR: Val Venis, a veteran in the WWE, who maybe hasn’t had as much success in recent years, but he is still a valuable part of the Raw roster. King: Right but Carlito is really starting to look focused now. He’s been a much more serious competitor in recent weeks. JR: Val now looking to create some offence, sends Carlito to the corner, Venis charging in and… Val going for the shoulder shot and he hit the ring post hard. Carlito with the roll up, 1,2,3. And Carlito grabs the win here. King: Well great effort by Val but Carlito is just too cool right now. [B]Carlito beat Val Venis (C+)[/B] ---- JR: We’re back ladies and gentlemen and now… here comes the chairman of the board, Mr McMahon. King: Is this what he had in store for Finlay and Hornswoggle? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/VinceMcMahon.jpg[/IMG] Vince: At this time, I’d like to ask my bastard sone Hornswoggle and Finlay to come out here. JR: Well here comes Hornswoggle and the man who has been looking out for him lately, FInlay. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Finlay2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/LittleBastard.jpg[/IMG] Vince: The reason I asked you both out here tonight… is because I saw something last night that made me sick. I saw my son, the fruit of my loins, cowering…. and begging for mercy. And no McMahon has ever begged for anything. And last night, you brought shame on this family Hornswoggle. And that’s why, I have decided that you are no longer my son. You are out of the WWE. I never want to see you again. Now get out of my ring and get out of my life! JR: Oh now come on… he can’t do that. King: Well he’s the boss, he can it if he wants. Vince: As for you Finlay, you are suspended indefinitely. So you can just follow the little guy out of here. Finlay: Wait a second Vince. You can’t just fire Hornswoggle and suspend me. I reckon you’re doing this cause you’re scared that the little guy is gonna take over one day. Vince: Scared? You think I’m scared of him? Finlay: Well if you aren’t scared of him, you’re definitely scared of me. Vince: I’m a McMahon. I’m no scared of anyone. Finlay: Prove it. How about, you and me, in a match? If I win, you let me adopt Hornswoggle. We both get to stay in the WWE, and you never bother us again. Vince: And what if I win? Finlay: If you win, Hornswoggle will leave, and I’ll retire. You’ll never have to deal with either of us again. Vince: All right Finlay. I tell you what. You can stay for now. But at Wrestlemania, your career is over. And you can take that bastard with you. JR: King I can’t believe what we just heard. Finlay is putting his career on the line to save Hornswoggle. King: JR it’s much more than that. It’s a custody battle! ---- JR: Folks we’re back and after the shocking news about Vince McMahon and Finlay, we have a great match coming up. It’s Chris Jericho and Snitsky.

Walls of Jericho on Snitksy! King: He’s gonna tap! [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JohnLayfield.jpg[/IMG] JR: Hey wait… JBL is out here… he just helped Snitksy reach the ropes. And Jericho now, over the top rope right on top of JBL. And look at these two going at it. And they’re brawling up the ramp. And the referee is still counting, he’s up to 8… 9…. 10! And Snitsky is going to win this by countout. King: But I don’t think Chris Jericho cares. JBL came iout here trying to interfere and Jericho just went for him. JR: Jericho and JBL, both men landing shots on each other. And now, officals from the back have came to separate this brawl, but this is not over yet. [B]Snitksy beat Chris Jericho (B-)[/B] ---- *We cut backstage to William Regal* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/WilliamRegal.jpg[/IMG] Regal: Ah gentlemen, thank you for seeing me. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ShawnMichaels2-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Triple_H33.jpg[/IMG] HBK: What do you want Regal? We haven’t got time for this. HHH: Yeah where’s Vince? Let’s get this over with. Regal: What exactly were you told about this meeting tonight? HBK: We got told Mr McMahon wanted to see us. Regal: Ah yes. But the Mr McMahon that wanted to see you isn’t Vince: Oh no, this Mr McMahon wanted to see you. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ShaneMcMahon.jpg[/IMG] Shane: Hey guys. What’s up? HHH: What the hell are you doing here? Shane: Well you see… my dad has problem with you two. And I was asked to take of this problem. I was asked to end D-Generation X. So, next week, I decided, that to shake off the ring rust, I’d have a match. So, next week, it’s going to be, Shane O’Mac, one on one, with you Shawn Michaels. But don’t worry Hunter, you’ll get your turn. JR: What the hell is going on here tonight King? Shane McMahon is back. King: And he’s here to kill off DX once and for all. JR: Well up next, a match featuring two of the hottest young stars right now. Mr Kennedy and Brian Kendrick. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/Spanky.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/KenAnderson.jpg[/IMG] [B]Brian Kendrick v Mr Kennedy[/B][/CENTER] *We join the match near its conclusion* JR: … well Kendrick had a great match against JBL a couple of weeks ago, he’s certainly a very talented athlete. King: Yeah but just like that match against JBL, he seems a little of out his depth right now. JR: Kendrick now, looking to go upstairs… off the top rope… and Kennedy got of the way at the last second. King: High risk move by Kendrick and that time it backfired on him. JR: Kennedy now, setting Kendrick up… Green Bay plunge! It’s over folks. Here’s the pin, 1-2-3. And again, a hell of an effort by Brian Kendrick, but his bad luck in singles competition continues. King: Well Kendrick certainly showed that… hey what’s Kennedy doing? JR: He’s grabbing a microphone, looks like he has something to say. Kennedy: Lashley… you think that because you beat me last night that this is over? It’s only just begun Bobby. I am going to get my rematch against you. And when I do, I’m going to make sure, that I end your career. So I am challenging you right now, to a rematch at Wretlemania. I don’t care what kinda match it is, as long as it’s you and me in the ring. And when it's all over, you will know why I am... Mister Kennedy.... Kennedy! [B]Mr Kennedy beat Brian Kendrick (B+)[/B] *We cut backstage to Todd Grisham* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ToddGrisham.jpg[/IMG] Todd: Please welcome my guest at this time, the Nature Boy Ric Flair. And Ric, tonight your career is once again on the line, as you face the Samoan Bulldozer Umaga. Ric, are you worried you might not even make it to Wrestlemania? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RicFlair.jpg[/IMG] Flair: Listen Todd… ever since Vince McMahon said that every match I wrestle in could be my last, I haven’t had time to be afraid. I haven’t had time to show fear. And tonight, if I can’t beat Umaga, then I will know that I went out having given everything I have. JR: Well RIc Flair certainly showing a lot of emotion in that interview. King: I just can’t imagine how it must feel when… *HEY* JR: Now what the hell does he want? Randy Orton is coming out here… what purpose does he serve being out here right now? King: Uh… well… I guess you can ask him yourself… he looks like he’s coming out here by us. JR: Well… we are being joined at commentary by the WWE Champion and… what are you doing out here? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/RandyOrton5.jpg[/IMG] Orton: Why don’t you shut up JR? I’m just out here doing a little scouting that’s all. I just want to see Ric Flair in action. JR: Well folks, Ric Flair puts his career on the line again tonight against Umaga. And that match is next!

You gotta be loving this eh Randy? Orton: Of course I am, this is a great match up. Umaga is a very talented wrestler. He’s a bit slow at times, he doesn’t speak English so well but he’s very talented in the ring. King: Well… he could be the man to end Ric Flair’s career here tonight. Orton: Well if that happens then Umaga will go down in history as the man who ended Ric Flair’s career. What an honour for him. JR: Well anyway, Flair getting back to his feet, but Umaga is almost toying with him. And Umaga… looks like he’s setting him up for the Samoan Spike… no wait Flair with a take down… and he… yes, he’s going for a figure four! Orton: Dammit Umaga. King: He can’t get it Umaga is so strong. JR: And Umaga just kicked Ric Flair right across the ring. Look at the strength of the Samoan Bulldozer. Orton: Alright, that’s more like it. C’mon Umaga. King: Flair trying to get something going now. JR: Hard chop by Flair, and another… and a third to the chest of Umaga. Flair sent to the opposite corner… Umaga charges in… oh Umaga hit his head on the ring post… and now… Flair he’s going for the figure four… he’s got it looked in! Orton: C’mon Umaga! King: He’s got it on in the middle of the ring! JR: Ric Flair is gonna… hey wait a minute where you going? Oh dammit, Orton attacking Ric Flair. Orton all over the Nature Boy. King: Well I guess Flair saves his career but he’s taking a beating now. JR: Orton just stomping a mud hole in Ric Flair and now… Umaga back on his feet and he… sets Flair up… oh, Samoan spike, right to Flair’s throat. King: Umaga and Orton really doing a number on Ric Flair. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/JeffHardy5_ndp.jpg[/IMG] JR: And Flair is down and… what are those two doing now? Hey wait… wait, that’s Jeff Hardy! Jeff Hardy is here! Jeff Hardy with the save. King: Orton and Umaga are getting out of there in a hurry! JR: Jeff Hardy just saved Ric Flair! What is gonna happen, next week on Raw?

OK new month of predictions, so we start again: ADeezy62: 5/6 dse81; 5/6 chris caulfield: 5/6 Mtm2k6: 5/6 pat21532: 4/6 ---- Easy one to get started with, the only shock being Snitsky over Jericho. But JBL cost him the match, so it's gets their feud started up again after the chamber. That was really the aim of this show, to either start or continue rivalries. ECW will be up tomorrow, so if you want to predict get them in fast.

We are live from Tucson, AZ. And last Sunday night, the ECW Champion CM Punk retained his title, but he was pushed to the limit by Kevin Thorn. Tazz: Right Joey but CM Punk did what he had to do, he won the match and retained his title. Styles: We are well on the way on the road to Wrestlemania, one question that needs to be answered in the upcoming weeks is who will be the new number one contender for the ECW championship? But first, we’re kicking things off with the ECW Original Tommy Dreamer going one on one with one half of the tag team champions, The Miz. [CENTER][IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/themiz.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/TommyDreamer.jpg[/IMG] [B]The Miz v Tommy Dreamer[/B][/CENTER] *We join the match near its conclusion* Styles: … and again. That is the second time John Morrison has interfered on behalf of the Miz. Tazz: Well I remember a time when those two guys didn’t like each other but Layla has certainly got these two guys on the same page now. Styles: Layla at ringside directing traffic, she has been one of the main reasons why these two have stayed tag team champions for so long. Miz now, roundhouse kick right to Tommy Dreamer’s head. Tazz: What a shot by Miz, wait here’s a cover. Styles: 1,2… Dreamer kicks out at 2. That was a close call for the ECW Original. Miz now, locking in a reverse chin lock, trying to put the pressure on Tommy Dreamer. Tazz: Well you know I want to see my man Tommy Dreamer wins this one. Styles: Tazz being as impartial as always. Dreamer now fights back to his feet. Shot to the midsection. Miz sent to the ropes, ducks under the clothesline… but Dreamer takes him down. Tazz: He’s getting fired up, c’mon Tommy. Styles: Dreamer now, gets Miz up… spicolli driver! Cover, 1-2-3! Tommy Dreamer grabs the win. Tazz: Great job by Dreamer and… wow, wait a minute. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/BigDaddyV.jpg[/IMG] Styles: What the hell is Big Daddy V doing out here? Tazz: Well I guess he’s still upset that Tommy Dreamer was helping CM Punk against Big Daddy V inrecent weeks. Styles: Matt Striker as always leading the way and from behind, John Morrison just levelled Tommy Dreamer. Tazz: What is this 3 on 1? Look and Morrison and Miz taking cheap shots at Dreamer. Styles: And now those two leave and… Tommy Dreamer is helpless right now. V off the ropes and… he just squashed Tommy Dreamer! That’s 500 pounds right on top of Dreamer. Tazz: What the hell does Matt Striker think he’s doing sending Big Daddy V out here like that? [B]Tommy Dreamer beat The Miz (B)[/B] ---- *We cut backstage to Armando Estrada* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/ArmandoAlejandroEstrada.jpg[/IMG] Estrada: Si, si come in. Hey amigo, how are you? Good to see you. [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/MontelVontaviousPorter13.jpg[/IMG] MVP: Mr Estrada, I just wanna say thank you for inviting me to come on ECW tonight. And I also wanna thank you for giving me the opportunity to face CM Punk tonight. Now, I was wondering that maybe if I beat Punk tonight, which I will, you should give me an ECW Title shot next week. What you say to that? Estrada: I tell you what amigo, if you beat CM Punk tonight… you get your title shot next week. OK? Styles: What? MVP is here on ECW? And he facing CM Punk tonight? Tazz: Well ou general manager kept that one quiet. Styles: Yeah but… if MVP wins tonight he gets a shot at the ECW Championship next week. Well we’ll debate that further, but up next we have two men who have been partners lately, but you can feel the tension rising.

Tazz: Yeah but how long will that continue? Styles: Well that remains to be seen. Burke, trying to keep Shannon Moore trapped in the corner. Moore whipped across the ring, Burke comes in, and he misses with the clothesline. Moore going up top. Tazz: What’s he doing? Styles: Moonsault off the top! Shannon Moore connects. Both men down now. Burke manages to tag Benjamin, Moore tags in Jimmy Wang Yang! Yang now, with rights and lefts to Benjamin… standing drop kick takes him down. Tazz: Moore Yang looking good right now. Styles: Yang, off the ropes, Burke ducks, and he runs right into a dropkick by Shelton Benjamin! Shelton now, sets Yang up for… the Elijah express! Burke connects, here’s the cover,1-2-3. And Benjamin and Burke win. Tazz: Well they were sure on the same page there. Wait a second, Benjamin grabbing a microphone. Shelton: CM Punk… I said to you last week that I wanted to be the number one contender for the ECW Title at Wrestlemania. Well… it seems my friend here Elijah Burke also wants to be the number one contender. Burke: So we think, we should both be number one contender. Shelton: So we’re gonna put this idea to Armando Estrada next week. And if he says yes… we’ll see you at Wrestlemania… Punk!

What does that mean, a triple threat match? Styles: I think so yeah. Well let’s here from the ECW Champion now. *We cut backstage to Anastacia Rose* [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/AnastaciaRose-11.jpg[/IMG] Rose: Please welcome my guest at this time, the ECW Champion, CM Punk. CM Punk, how do you respond to what Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin have said? [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/CMPunk.jpg[/IMG] Punk: You know what? If those two guys think that the two of them need to gang up on me then that’s fine. It doesn’t matter to me. So, assuming Armando Estrada says it’s OK… I accept the challenge for Wrestlemania. But tonight, I gotta worry about MVP. So I’m gonna go get ready for that match. Styles: Well the ECW Champion not showing any fear at the hands of Burke and Benjamin, but if that match is made by Armando Estrada… the deck is gonna be stakced against the ECW Champion. Tazz: Right but like CM Punk said, he’s gotta deal with MVP first. Styles: That should be a great match, but up next is the former number one contender, Keivn Thorn against another ECW Original, Stevie Richards.

Tazz: He’s been dominant alright… I don’t think Stevie Richards has had any offence in this match. Styles: Thorn now… looking to put this match away. He gets Richards up, looking for that crucifix powerbomb… hey wait, Richards rolls through, the roll up, the cover… 1-2-3! Stevie Richards steals one from Kevin Thorn! Tazz: Alright! Stevie Richards wins one for the Originals! Styles: Well it’s been a good night for the Originals, first Tommy Dreamer now Stevie Richards!

MVP, do you think… [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/i2theain/TEW/MontelVontaviousPorter13.jpg[/IMG] MVP: Hold on a second, did you hear CM Punk earlier? He was worrying about Burke and Benjamin? He better be worrying about me. I am the United States Champion. And tonight, I’m gonna beat CM Punk, and then I’m gonna beat him again next week. And then I’ll be the ECW Champion. But I tell you what, when I go to Wrestlemania as the ECW Champion, no way am I going into a triple threat match with two tag team partners. It’ll be a different match, you hear me? Styles: Well MVP is certainly sounding confident going into his match tonight. Tazz: Yeah but he way be just a bit too ****y if he think he’s gonna beat CM Punk easily.

Tazz: Well if he wants to he’s gotta beat CM Punk tonight to earn that shot for next week. Styles: Well if he does manage to do that, he’d go into that match next week full of confidence, knowing he already holds a victory over the champion. MVP now, in control of this match. Punishing the left knee of the champion. Tazz: Well MVP has targeted that knee for most of this match, he must be looking to do some damage in the hope he can maybe use a submission hold to get the win. Styles: MVP not known for his submission moves, but it could be what leads him to victory tonight. MVP again working on the knee, looking for a figure four, no wait, Punk reverses it… roll up… 1-2… no! MVP kicked out! Tazz: Just like that CM Punk fires back with a close 3 count. Styles: Punk now, trying to mount some offence, kick to the head of MVP, but that took a lot of the champion too. Punk with rights and lefts, trying to put MVP away. Punk now, sends MVP to the ropes… kick to the midsection and… Punk, trying to get MVP up for the Go To Sleep! Tazz: Is he gonna do it? Styles: Yes! He hit it! Punk with the GTS! Goes for the cover, but hey… what the hell is Kevin Thorn doing out here? Tazz: He’s distracting the referee for one thing. Styles: Punk… kick to head of Thorn. Down goes the former number one contender. But wait, MVP from behind… roll up… 1-2-3! Tazz: God I can’t believe it! MVP won! Styles: MVP has walked into ECW and beaten the champion CM Punk! He got a huge assist from Kevin Thorn, but it means next week on Sci-Fi… CM Punk and MVP… the ECW Title will be on the line! Join us for next week for that huge match!
