Submitted by Lunchbox on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 at 1:32 AM EST





Good evening, this is not my normal posting, however. I came home from work tonight, saw there was no result for ECW, nor was there last week. I just happened to DVR ECW tonight, and I'm bored, so I did a recap for ya. Feel free to e-mail me with what you think. =)

We open ECW with a giant 'TRUMPED!' on the screen, showing still photos of Vince McMahon pinning Bobby Lashley last night on RAW. Joey Styles announces Vince McMahon and Bobby Lashley will confront one another 'face to face' tonight.

In the arena, Joey Styles and Tazz talk about Wrestlemania and the Eight Man Tag tonight consisting of Matt & Jeff Hardy, CM Punk and Edge vs. Booker, Finlay, Orton and Mr. Kennedy.

Rob Van Dam v. Elijah Burke
The match starts with both men locking up, couple reversals, RVD with a lateral press, one count. They lock up again, Burke with a side headlock on RVD, flips him over, RVD reverses into a head scissors. Burke flips back into a bridge, two count. RVD into the corner, couple of punches, Burke with a rising knee to RVD's gut. Burke slams RVD down, elbow drop. Two count. RVD into the other corner, Burke runs in, elbow. Burke with a kick to RVD's midsection, RVD into the ropes, Burke bends down and RVD rolls over his back. Side kick to Burke's back. Burke into the ropes, up and over. Burke sat on the ropes, punches delivered. RVD up top, jumping side kick to Burke's chin causing him to fall to the outside. RVD off the opposite ropes, somersault over the top landing on Burke.

Commercial.

Back in the ring, Burke has RVD in a chin lock. RVD back up, elbows to Burke's gut, leg sweep. Rolling Thunder...no! Burke gets his knees up. Burke drops with a fist to RVD's jaw, multiple punches to the back of RVD's skull. Back up, vertical suplex into a belly to back suplex. Two count. Rest hold with Burke pulling on RVD's arms. RVD stands, back kick. Heel clip by Burke. Burke puts RVD in a version of the Texas Cloverleaf. RVD gets to the ropes. Burke rolls him over, two count. Standing up, RVD into the corner, drops to the ground. Burke runs into the corner, uses the top ropes as leverage, elbow drop. Two count. Burke continues to work RVD's kidneys. Another chin lock (AKA Rest hold). Standing, Burke continues to work RVD's kidneys. Burke against the ropes, RVD into the opposite side, Burke with a boot. He flips to the outside of the apron and climbs the top turnbuckle, as he comes down with an elbow, RVD gets a jumping spin kick. Clothesline to Burke, again. Stiff kick to Burke's head, off the ropes, spinning heel kick. Two count. Thai kick to Burke's thigh, spike to his head. RVD into the corner, Elijah Express misses. RVD up top, FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH, 1-2-3!

Post-Match the New Breed comes out and begin mugging RVD, quickly stopped by the ECW originals.
(Eval- Nice match, I was impressed. Elijah Burke is an excellent athlete, his gimmick is just horrible. Nice to see RVD getting the push into 'Mania, but we know it's just so he won't go to TNA. Rob, if you read this buddy, GO TO TNA! Rating- **)

Commercial.

The Extreme Expose' does their little dance.
(Eval- . . . . . That's one minute and twenty seconds of my life I'll never have back. Vince, this isn't WCW, we don't need second rate Nitro Girls. Rating- Horrible.)

In the back we see the Hardyz talking to Punk. Edge quickly enters. Edge tells them last night on RAW was the biggest Cutting Edge ever. He knows none of them want to team up with one another, but it's in everyone's best interest if they work together. Punk asks him why they should listen to him. He won the first Money In The Back. The other team's egos are too big, they can't work together. If they can work together, they can take a couple of the other guys out. They don't have to like him to listen to him.
(Eval- Punk needs more mic time, he's a little rusty, you can tell that was scripted. Edge is good as always. Rating- *)

Snitsky v. Balls Mahoney
Balls awaits Snitsky's entrance in the ring. Snitsky rushes in and knocks Balls outside. Balls mounts an offense with three punches before Snitsky slams Balls into the post on the outside. Balls on the apron, Snitsky with a rising boot. Back inside, catapult sending Balls' throat into the bottom rope. Balls up, big boot. 1-2-3.
(Eval- Squash, nothing more, nothing less. Snitsky is dominant, we know this, stop making him squash ECW Originals that could literally put him in a coma. Rating- Horrible x2.)

Tazz and Styles discuss the events on RAW last night. A video package is shown of the 'match'. Vince and Lashley 'face to face', next!

Commercial.

Kennedy and Orton are talking backstage, Finlay comes up. Finlay says they're all partners tonight. Booker shows up. Kennedy and Orton walk away. Booker asks what's going on. Finlay says they were saying some bad stuff about Booker. Booker never trusted those two, but he's always trusted Finlay. Tonight, they should watch each other's back. Finlay says it's a good idea, except, Booker can't trust him either.
(Eval- Finlay needs a better gimmick and a bigger push. The end. Rating- 1/2 *)

On the Titan Tron, Vince is in Stamford, Lashley is in Grand Rapids. Vince says he'll feel much better after Wrestlemania. He's been 'partying down' and having a celebration after last night. He said it wasn't difficult pinning Bobby 1-2-3 last night. He's a great athlete, but he was against someone of Vince's physical prowess, and he should be glad he didn't take off his shirt. Because then Vince would have shown him what a real man looked like. Vince then proceeded to stroke his own ego for a minute or so. He can't wait to see Umaga come down off the rope and 'splat' on Bobby, and watch him let everyone down. After Wrestlemania, Vincent Kennedy McMahon will still have his hair, and Bobby Lashley will be an irritant. His future is bleak. Bobby needs to be happy Vince isn't there tonight, or he'd have to beat the hell out of him. Lashley tells Vince to listen to him, and calls him an old bastard. After Wrestlemania he'll be one bald headed son-of-a-bitch.
(Eval- Uhm, I said it earlier this year, but I'll say it again. Vince needs to not speak and stay off of television. He said Bobby and Bobby Lashley a total of fourteen times in that promo. I love Lashley's enthusiasm, but dude, GO TO TNA! Rating- Horrible x3.)

Commercial.

Rest hold in the middle of the ring, Booker putting Punk in a standing inverted chin lock. Kick to Punk, Punk into the corner, reversal, Booker into the other corner, rising knee to Booker in the corner. Bulldog! Punk tags in Edge. Edge looks reluctant to get in the ring, then gets in and sets Booker up for the spear. Quick tag back to Punk. Edge walks back up the ramp, Booker blind sides Punk and delivers multiple knees. Reversal by Punk, shin kick to Booker's skull. All men into the ring, minus Edge. Orton and Jeff to the outside. Punk into the ropes, Finlay with the shillelagh, Booker with the scissors kick. 1-2-3. Winners: Kennedy, Orton, Finlay, Booker.

Post-match, all four men begin brawling in the ring. The Hardyz come in with a ladder and knock down Finlay. Then Kennedy, then Booker, then Orton. Then they throw the ladder at Kennedy. Double slingshot sending Orton into the ladder that is pancaking Kennedy in the corner. Ladder into Finlay once more, busting him open. The Hardyz get the bigger ladder and climb up opposite sides. They both have their hands on the briefcase, holding it high as ECW goes off the air.
(Eval- An okay match, the post-match was better than the actual match itself. I know Edge is hurt, I just hope he actually wrestles at 'Mania. I'd also like to see the Hardyz go at it, both wanting the shot. However, I'd ultimately like to see Kennedy win this thing and jump to RAW. An HBK-Kennedy feud, anyone? Rating- * 1/2)

Final Analysis- Too many commercials, Vince McMahon was on television for three minutes too long, a horrible 'Extreme Expose' and a squash on an ECW main eventer. Argh, this is why I normally don't watch ECW, it sickens me to know that the beauty, the carnage and the prideful Extreme Championship Wrestling has become World Wrestling Entertainment's Championshit Wrestling. (WWECW) 3/10. Goodnight.
