You can do moves that most of these fans have never heard of... before WWE I wrestled all over the world in Japan, Mexico and Europe and maybe saw 3 guys who can do what you can do in this ring... Matt I see you have a match against Harry Smith at <strong id="">Survival of the Sickest</strong>. I just want to say right here right now... this kid will be the ECW Television Champion... maybe not that day... maybe not a month right now but he will be a champion. Matt Sydal... You are the future of this business... Unfortunately... I want to tell Paul Heyman right here right now that my time is the present of this business begins today... I see that Charlie Haas has an opponent yet to be determined at Survival of the Sicket... I think Matt Sydal could agree that if there is any sort of decision process to see who faces Charlie Haas...

You were a locker room leader and a guy that anyone could look up. No matter how politics, injuries or creative held you down... you went out and delivered and stuck to your guns.... You never kissed anyones ass or was anyones whipping boy.<br id=""><br id="">That has changed though... Bob Holly now is a guy who trains people for Randy Orton. Bob Holly is a guy who says "Yes Randy... I'll take Kurt Angle out tonight in the Main Event so you don't have blood on your hands"... I  know some of the fans are conditioned to believe that Orton is a bigger threat to Kurt than Bob... they are wrong. Bob Holly is a machine... Holly hits harder, lifts more weight and is better shape in that ring than Randy Orton has ever thought of being.<br id=""><br id="">So Bob... me and you at Survival of the Sickest? You may be a threat to Kurt Angle in the ring... You may intimidate some of the new guys in the back... but do you know who the hell I am? I'm the guy who said "Thankyou sir can I have another" to kendo stick shots. I'm the Innovator of Violence, Bob... and don't get me wrong... it's great that ECW is back but at Survival of the Sickest...

Great show, just looking for Rhino!

[Rickymex]

I like how Randy at last shows some concern for Bob. But yeah very good show. Like the new character that Burchill and Punk have.

[The Lloyd]

Great show bro. I loved Punk's analysis of his opponents great job
