Greetings, and welcome to this week's review of what has slowly but surely turned into one of (If not the most) entertaining hour of wrestling on WWE tv. On tap for this week, we have Kane teaming up with CM Punk as they try to dethrone the WWE tag team Champions, The Miz and John Morrison.
We are l.. taped from Fresno, California. No bs to start, its straight to the action.
Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs Shelton Benjamin & Mike Knox
We get a promo by Evan (Formerly Matt Sydal) before the match and its basically generic babyface promo #5574. Knox and Bourne start the match and Evan uses a couple of kicks to get an early advantage, until Knox just swats him down and tags in Shelton. Benjamin with a Clothesline and tries to throw Evan to the outside but he does a ZOMG FLIP and counters with a Leg Lariat. Both men make tags and Kofi Dropkicks Knox. He goes after Shelton but ends up running into a vicious Clotheslie by Knox. Shelton is back in and he applies an ORTONLOCK on Kofi. Kofi escapes and goes for a Monkey Flip but Shelton just lands on his feet. Kingston hits a huge Dropkick on Shelton who tags in Knox and also gets some kicks for his troubles. Bourne tags himself back in and hits Knox some kicks but then gets thrown and Evan counters with an insanely great Hurrancanrana. Knox hits a big boot on Bourne, then goes after Kofi who hits Knox with The Trouble in Paradise. Bourne (Who's still the legal man!) hits a Sprinboard Dropkick and this one is over!
Winners:Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne
Backstage, Estrada is in Teddy Long's office and he runs into Tiffany (A Kelly Kelly clone). Teddy Long walks in and tells Estrada that he has a chance to prove himself tonight... By wrestling Finlay!
COMMERCIAL!!!
We are back and we get footage of Monday's million dollar giveaway? Guess what? I DIDN'T WIN, SO I STILL DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS!
Kelly Kelly vs Victoria
I'll admit it, Kelly has improved. With that said, this was all about Victoria kicking Kelly's ass except for a couple of offensive moves thrown in by blondie. Eventually, Victoria tosses Kelly to the outside (with her back hitting the apron on the way down). Kelly is now on the apron, she does a Cartwheel and wraps her legs around Victoria's nexk. Victoria just shoves from the apron and Kelly goes SPLAT on the outside.
Winner via Murder:Victoria
Another ref comes out to check on Kelly, but she is OUT!
COMMERCIAL!!!
Finlay (With a midget) vs Armando Estrada
Estrada goes for a cheap shot but Finlay just shrugs it off. Clothesline, Shoulder Block, Celtic Cross (Lol, Celtics) and this one is over!
Winner:Finlay
T.Long comes out and tells Estrada he has another chance to earn a contract, but he has to face.. Colin Delaney!
Armando Estrada vs Colin Delaney
Finlay hits Estrada with the Shalalalala before Colin gets to the ring. DDT by Delaney and he gets the win.
Winner:Colin Delaney
Teddy gives Armando ANOTHER chance and this time he wil face Hornswoggle.
Hornswoggle vs Armando Estrada
Tadpole Splash by Hornswoggle and this one is over.
Winner:Hornswoggle
Post-match, Hornswoggle and Delaney do an irish jig. Delaney makes the mistake of taking Hornswoggle's hat off and he gets hit with the Shalalalala for his troubles.
COMMERCIAL!!
We are back and Predator (Or Mark Henry, I always get confused) makes his way to the ring. Henry calls out Show and congratulates him on winning a title shot. Mark says that he wants the first crack at Show if he wins the ECW title. Both men shake hands, but Show pulls him back and tells Henry that if he keeps campaigning for an ass-kicking, he gon get it! Big Show leaves and at the same time Kane is making his entrance. EXTREME STAREDOWN!!
COMMERCIAL!!
We are back and CM Punk makes his entrance (Because someone has to get pinned). Miz and Morrison make their separate entrances and we are set for out Main Event.
Kane & CM Punk vs John Morrison & The Miz (WWE Tag Team Title Match)
Morrison and Punk start and they get some counters. Punk gets a Hammerlock but Morrison escapes and gets kicked in the ribs by Punk. Morrison hits a Drop Toe-hold and he tags in the Miz. Miz gets backed into a corner and gets clubbed repeatedly by Punk. Punk hits a Slingshot that sends Miz to the outside and he follows that up with a dive to the outside.
COMMERCIAL!!
We are back and Kane is now in the ring and in control (Note
unk "injured" his ribs at some point in the match). Kane continues to dominate and goes up top for a Clothesline but Miz sees it coming and moves out of the way. Morrison is tagged in and he gets an Ortonlock on Kane. Kane tries to back into a corner. Unfortunately for Kane, he backs into his opponents corner. Miz is tagged in and hits a Clothesline on Kane, Morrison is tagged in and follows that up with a Missile Dropkick for two. Miz is tagged back in but runs right into a Back Bodydrop by Kane. Punk gets the tag and he hits Morrison with some sick-sounding kicks then hits a Snap Slam for two. Miz hits a cheap-shot on Punk but gets a kick for being such a little bitch. Punk turns around and gets kicked on the ribs by Morrison who follows up with The Moonlight Drive and this one is OVER!!
Winner:John Morrison and The Miz
Overall Thoughts:Another solid show by ECW this week. The opener and the Main Event were both entertaining, and even the Kelly/Victoria match was better than it would have been just a couple of months back. The only "bad thing" on the show was the whole Estrada thing, but that was kept relatively short. Also, Adamle doesn't suck nearly as much as he once did. Thumbs up for this week's ECW.
You know the drill.. Remember to read Kaedon's NSZ and his SD review aswell as yours truly RAW review. Until next week, I am out!
