Evan Bourne and Ricky Ortiz worked well as a team. I want more of it. Bam Neely sucks as Chavo’s bodyguard. I want less of it. 10 Thoughts on ECW.
Beard = Mike Knox
1. Tazz is covering for Mick Foley on this Friday’s SmackDown!, so he was unable to appear on tonight’s ECW. His replacement? Matt Striker. Apparently, Kane choke slammed Striker into Face-Land on RAW because Striker was playing baby-face commentator ALL NIGHT. Not only was it baby-face commentating, it was also horrible baby-face commentating.
2. This whole Beard/Finlay program is going to develop into something good. For some reason, Finlay doesn’t deny the fact that he’s gone soft; he’s rather comfortable with it. He invites Beard to hit him, but he just walks out of the ring. I hope this isn’t just quick Summerslam filler.
3. I honestly can’t keep up with this whole Colin Delaney angle. WWE isn’t letting him get any microphone time, and when he gets it he’s either interrupted by entrance music or Teddy Long. And he’s still losing and getting his butt kicked. I know I’ve ranted over this countless times on 10 Thoughts, but I just can’t get over it.
4. Tommy Dreamer vs. Colin Delaney in an Extreme Rules Match next week? Hopefully this will be Colin’s turning point.
5. I missed the Edge/Foley segment on SmackDown! last week and I have to admit, that was a damn good video recap. I was thinking of skipping Summerslam, but they might have pulled my interest in again.
6. If Nigel is McLariat, then Walker is McHorrible Clothesline. Braden Walker sucks. This is the last time that loser in a singlet will ever be mentioned in 10 Thoughts. Bank on it.
7. Evan Bourne and Ricky Ortiz worked well as a team. I want more of it.
8. Bam Neely sucks as Chavo’s bodyguard. I want less of it.
9. The Dirt Sheet on “live” television is the greatest thing that has ever happened to the internet wrestling community. Forget Bryan Danielson. Forget Ring of Honor. You can even forget Adamle’s original ideas.
10. The show closes with an intense Matt Hardy/Mark Henry face-off… two weeks away from Summerslam. I guess they already ran out of ideas for this feud.
Don’t Question His Heart
This is a weekly award I’ll be giving out to ECW’s most dedicated and hardest worker of the week.
Don’t Question Miz and Morrison’s Hearts
I have watched every single Dirt Sheet on wwe.com and I’ve laughed at every single one. Though the Dirt Sheet on ECW was so-so, it still managed to get a few laughs out of me. These guys have really developed amazing characters and are great together. They have huge hearts.
