So we’ve got a Pay Per View in two weeks. Did anyone remember that? Probably not or else we wouldn’t wind up with Judgement Day rematches. After John Cena beat Khali in a pretty clean fight, who wants to see them fight again anyway. Hell, who wanted to see them fight in the first place?
We’re live on SciFi in Iowa. Joey reminds us we’re two weeks why of One Night Stand 3 and RVD will wrestle tonight! I guess those rumors of him being done in ECW are bunk.
SNITSKY makes his way out and Joey says he thinks “evil” the first thing he sees when he sees SNITSKY. My first thought is CHEEKS. Tonight’s sacrificial lamb is Tommy Dreamer.]
SNITSKY happens to Tommy Dreamer by Big Boot
SNITSKY overpowers Dreamer, quuickly throwing him over the top rope to the floor. SNITSKY brings him back in and Dreamer acts like he’s been in an hour long brawl with Raven or something. I guess everyone gets older. SNITSKY throws him through the ropes into the corner post and SNITSKY gets Dreamer’s arm in an hammer lock around the ropes. SNITSKY gets Dreamer in a front chancery and follows it up with a body slam, but misses the leg drop and misses the big boot and gets crotched. Dreamer has an opportunity and takes it with some kicks to get SNITSKY down on his knees. Dreamer gets a short DDT but it only gets a two. TWO!
Dreamer comes back with some kicks and weak clubbing blows and gives SNITSKY a boot to the face in the corner. He tries for something off the second turnbuckle, but he gets cut short with a nasty clothesline and a big boot to get a three count. Post match SNITSKY continues to attack Dreamer, but RVD comes out to make the save and a hits a long Van Daminator. More Rob Van Dam in the angle? Well I’ll be damned. I was gonna put the odds at 3:1 that we never saw Rob Van Dam again.
We get a recap of Judgement Day ECW’s title match. Blah blah blah, Lashley wins, but doesn’t win the title. Check out our Judgement Day coverage here.
Apparently we’re going to see the Timbaland video tonight. So instead of the Condemned we’re going to see this garbage? How nice that they still can’t fill an hour long show.
Extreme Expose makes their way out to the ring and they’re not going to dance this week. Oh dear lord! Hide! Layla has a live mic! And she’s reading! Timbaland’s name gets NO reaction from the crowd. For those of you who care, they girls wrestle in the video. Extreme Expose loses the match if you were wondering.
Kevin Thorn makes his way out to the ring and he’s without Ariel, of course, because she was fired. Joey makes it known that Kevin Thorn is flying solo.
Kevin Thorn over a Red Shirt by Original Sin
Meh.
Monty and Burke are strategizing and Striker interrupts. Burke talks down Striker, blaming him for his loss at Judgement. Tonight Strikers got a match with one of the Major Brothers. Not any specific brother, just one of them. You know who’s the best part of this segment? Cor Von, and he’s not even talking.
Have you posted in the Pulse Wrestling ECW thread yet?
Matt Striker over Brett Major by Golden Rule and twisting inverted DDT
The Lionheart Chris Jerichos have darker hair this week. Start with some arm drags by Brett, followed by a shoulder block a standing senton and that only draws a one. Striker comes back with some punches and a few a suplexes. STriker bats around Brett but gets pinned for a two on a sunset flip. TWO!
Striker maintains control with a head vice to slow the match down. Brett comes back with a few punches then misses a neckbreaker. I say “misses” because it happened, butBrett didn’t have a hold on STriker in the least. Brett continues with some punches and a flying forearm gets at two. TWO!
Striker attemtps a suplex and Brett gets a small package for a two. TWO!
Brett hits a high Lou Thesz press (with a leg drop sorta) for another two. TWO!
Brett gets swatted away in an attempted drop kick then hits the Golden Rule followed by a twisting inverted DDT for the pin.
For those of us who watches RAW last night, we have to watch a recap of Lashley’s gauntlet match. For those of us who didn’t watch it have to be subjected to it anyway. Here’s your recap: Lashley beats Masters. Lashley beats Viscera. Lashley beats Umaga. Lashley beats Shane. Now we see Lashley vs. Vince in a street fight at One Night Stand 3. You know what’s amazing? John Cena is headlining One Night Stand TWO YEARS IN A ROW. Gross.
Rob Van Dam’s music hits and everyone has to wonder if this is the last time we’ll hear it. He’s followed by CM Punk who is followed by…
commercials.
I forgot to mention it, but we;re back to the ECW entrance from last week’s use of the Smackdown entrance.
Rob Van Dam and CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von
Huge RVD chant to start. As the news circulates more and more of RVD’s departure, how bug is this chant gonna get. MCV starts with a headlock and an audible “f*ck”. RVD goes to the ropes, but gets shoulder blocked down by MCV. RVD gets a headlock next and the same fate happens – a shoulder block knocks him down. MCV and RVD stare down to a HUGE RVD chant. RVD blocks a kick, MCV ducks a clothesline and MCV hits some punches in, throws RVD to the corner and RVD throws an elbow and over estimates the distance to hit a split legged moonsault. MCV tags in Burke and Burke clubs RVD a bit. More “RVD” from the crowd and I wonder when they’ll start the “please don’t go” chants. RVD hits some arm drags, attempts a kick on Burke, misses and goes for an enziguiri. That misses and RVD winds up in a bear hug from behind by Burke. RVD hits a few elbows to break out, RVD makes the quick tag and Burke misses it and gets hit by a springboard clothesline from Punk. Punk hits MCV off of the apron and then clotheslines Burke over the top to the floor. We go to commercials with Burke and Punk in the ring.
We’re back and MCV has control. During the break RVD hit a monkey flip on Burke and MCV threw RVD to the floor from the top turnbuckle. RVD takes more damage in the ring and Burke can only get a two. TWO!
Burke goes for a submission and RVD gets strong crowd support. Burke gives up on the hold and attacks the knees. He can only get a two. TWO!
Burke tags in MCV and MCV puts RVD in the corner and attacks the knee. MCV only gets a two. TWO!
Burke comes in, RVD gets a small package, but Burke’s leg is in the rope. Burke continues the offense of RVD in the corner, trying to take out the knee, including a knee drop to the back of RVD’s knee. Burke can’t get a three. TWO!
MCV gets tagged in and pounds on RVD on the ground going back to the knee with a leg lace. MCV drops some knees on RVD’s knees and tags in Burke. RVD hits an enziguiri and RVD hits the hot tag to Punk who drops MCV and Burke. Punk throws Burke to the corner and hits the knee lift and bulldog, but MCV breaks up the count. RVD tries to splash MCV out of the ring but instead hits nothing but the ground. IN the ring Punk’s got Burke ready to go to sleep, but MCV hits a shoulder block to the midsection instead. MCV hits the POOOUUUNNNNCCEEEE and the match ends because…. MCV isn’t the legal man?
RVD comes in and gets attacked by Cor Von and Burke and gets a POOUUUUUNNNCCEEEEE of his own. The show ends with Burke and MCV taunting Punk and RVD.
The Inside Pulse
Okay, so not the worst show we’ve seen, but this one was a weird one. They’re trying to get some angles on TV to add some matches for One Night Stand that could be actual ECW matches. It’s good to see them going somewhere with SNITSKY, even if it is putting him over RVD and ONS3. I’ll say thing thought, we went an entire show without seeing the ECW champion or the #1 contender outside of recap videos. It’s nice to see that the show’s not even important enough to feature it’s own champion. A pretty good main event for a below average show. Kinda like hot peanut butter topping on praline ice cream.
