Following are ECW taping results from last night, according to WrestlingObserver.com and Jonathan Starling:
Match one: Singapore Cane on a pole match between Sandman and Matt Striker: Striker works over Sandman’s leg in the early going, gets the cane, then gets a few shots in. Sandman counters, gets the cane, and gives Striker a few good blows, opening up a cut. Striker then bails the ring and Sandman wins via countout at 3:44.
CM Punk vs Rene Dupree: Been the standard Punk match the last month. Dupree gets the early offense, and CM Punk then comes back getting the uranage and Anaconda Vice for the submission win at 2:12. Post match, Mike Knox tries to attack, but once he gets to the ring, he backs off again. There was no Kelly Kelly sighting tonight.
RVD cuts a promo saying that he’s got what he wanted, a rematch with Big Show. RVD continued by saying he came back, started at the bottom, and has worked his way back up. RVD says he knows he has what it takes to slay the dragon and that eventually Big Show will have to put his ECW Title on the line.
Test comes out to the ring and opens by saying he’s the most ruthless competitor ECW has ever seen. We are reminded of Bob Holly’s back injury during his match with RVD and of what Test did when Holly got his hands on Heyman. Test then tells us that Holly will be returning in a week. Balls Mahoney then comes out saying if he’s looking or competition, Balls is ready to go. Test says not tonight, but the both of them start fighting in ring which leads to…
Test vs Balls Mahoney. Test wins with the TKO at 2:57. More or less a glorified squash with Balls being taken for a ride around the ring.
Shannon Moore comes out during the break…
Shannon Moore vs Sabu: Sabu does his thing and wins at 2:23 with a somersault leg drop over the top rope.
Big Show then cuts a promo saying that it’s a good day for RVD. Big Show thinks that RVD may be stepping in the ring with the ECW Champ, but he’s really stepping into the ring with the Champion of Champions, which he will become at Cyber Sunday. Big Show then says that RVD won’t have a happy ending as Big Show will cut RVD down.
ECW Main Event: Big Show vs RVD. Decent match that had RVD chasing the entire way through. Just as RVD looks to be gaining the upper hand, Big Show spears RVD and then we have our glorified ref bump. Test comes out, grabs a chair, and hits RVD in the gut with it. Then Bob Holly makes his way out, taking Test out with the chair and as Big Show gets Holly, Holly takes Big Show out with the chair. RVD hits the five star frogsplash and wins at 10:23. Crowd popped for Holly’s appearance and the finish.
