    Show was no where near sold out... I'd estimate about 800 people were there. Justin Roberts kicked off the show by welcoming us and giving us all the WWE rules about throwing stuff in the ring, etc.

    MATCH 1:
    "The Reject" Shannon Moore d. CW Anderson
    I believe TNA has "Prince of Punk" trademarked, so Shannon Moore is now known as The Reject. Anderson hit the Anderson Spinebuster at one point, but Moore kicked out and hit a Corkscrew Moonsault for the pin.

    MATCH 2:
    CM Punk d. Fertig
    For those who care, Fertig uses Luther Reigns' old music, and Punk came out to Killswitch Engage's Wreckless Intent theme. Punk got a good pop, and there were lots of "CM Punk" chants. I haven't seen any of Punk's work from ROH or any other feds, but he's been completely WWE-ized from the looks of things, i.e. lots of restholds. The former Mordecai recieved "Taker Ripoff chants". Punk won with the Anaconda Vice.

    EXTREME BODY CONTEST:
    Kelly d. Francine
    Good pops for both, shockingly Francine had the more revealing bikini. Kelly won in the end, with Francine starting a catfight. She bails, and the fans want Kelly to strip. She unties her top, but Mike Knox, who "sux cox" according to a sign in the crowd, comes out and covers her up.

    MATCH 3:
    FBI d. Derrick Neikirk and Ryan O'Reily
    O'Reily and Neikirk got "We Don't Know You" chants. I didn't know which was which, and they look like clones of Jindrak and O'Haire from WCW. FBI got a great pop, along with a few "Where's My Pizza?" chants. Mamaluke botched a spot and got his leg twisted in the bottom/middle rope at one point, which got a "You Fucked Up" chant. Guido won with a roll up, and the FBI were attacked by the DSW guys after the match.

    Out came Tommy Dreamer, who said it was good for ECW to finally come to Austin. He's heard rumors that Houston is more Hardcore than us. We disagreed. He's also heard rumors that Dallas is more hardcore than us since they had WCCW. We disagreed. San Antonio? We also disagreed. Tommy wanted us to get as hardcore as we can get for the next match, and show that Austin is full of "Extreme bitches". Kinda hard, since Dreamer's opponent was Test.

    MATCH 4:
    Test d. Tommy Dreamer
    "Test of Steroids", "You Can't Wrestle", and "You Still Suck" chants plagued Test throughout the match. Test untied the turnbuckle pad, but ended up getting thrown into it by Dreamer. Dreamer DDT gets 2. Test counters out of the Dreamer Driver and hits the TKO followed by a big boot for the win. Someone threw a beer at Test as he left. "Thank You Tommy" chants as Dreamer made his leave.

    Intermission. I was surprised to see they were selling EC F'N W shirts. I thought Vince discontinued them already.

    MATCH 5:
    Mike Knox d. Balls Mahoney
    Knox got "Snitsky Ripoff" and "You Can't Wrestle" chants. Lots of "Balls" chants for Mahoney. Back and forth match, at one point Balls took a guy's beer and threw it in Knox's face. Knox eventually won with the Roll of the Dice/Test Drive.

    Afterwards, Knox got on the mic and said that Sandman embarassed him in front of his woman last Tuesday, and he wants revenge, and it'll never happen again. Sandman makes his entrance and goes through almost every section of the crowd. When Sandman hits the ring, Knox bails. Stevie Richards comes out of nowhere and attacks Sandman with a cane. Stevie challenges Sandman to any match of his choice, right there, right now. Sandman wants Dueling Canes.

    MATCH 6:
    Sandman d. Stevie Richards in a "Dueling Canes" match
    Stevie had control early on, but Sandman eventually owned him. Mike Knox ran out and got a cane to the head for his troubles. Sandman won with the Cane-to-the-Throat Russian Leg Sweep for the victory. Stevie was helped to the back (not really hurt), and Roberts told us that Richards was feeling fine (boos) and that we should all watch him compete tomorrow night on SciFi.

    MATCH 7:
    Extreme Rules:
    Big Show d. Sabu to retain the ECW Title
    HUGE pop for Sabu. After pointing to the sky during his entrance, Sabu did the RVD thumb point and pointed to the sky again. Big Show introduced himself as the only man to hold the WCW, WWE, and ECW titles. Show also demanded security to throw a guy out because "he's fat, and I don't like him". Sabu threw some chairs around at Show, but Show hit a Hog Log and a fallaway slam. Sabu bulldogged Show face first through a table in the corner, but Show recovered and hit a chokeslam through a second table for the victory. Lots of "Thank You Sabu" chants as he recovered and left.

    Roberts thanked us for coming and being extreme, and he said there is no doubt that they'll be returning in the near future. Overall it was a fun show, LOTS of difference from the crap that's aired on SciFi. I do believe the smaller venues make a huge difference, plus there aren't many kids around to sit on their hands waiting for Mysterio.

    BIGGEST POPS:
    Sabu
    CM Punk
    Sandman
    Dreamer

    BIGGEST HEAT:
    Big Show
    Test
    Knox
    Richards
