    ECW 5/8/2007 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:

    Bobby Lashley is shown arriving earlier and Armando Alejandro Estrada shows up in a wheelchair. Estrada says if Lashley goes into the arena Lashley will be arrested or if he lays a hand on Estrada as well. Lashley then says he wants to tell Estrada sorry and pushes him down the road and Estrada falls out of the wheelchair unto a pile of garbage.

    ECW intro is shown.

    At Judgment Day CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke will now take place.

In the ring Punk fights back but runs into the Pounce from Cor Von for the win.

    Winner: Marcus Cor Von

    Rating: ** (Decent match that was given time. I'm a big Punk fan and I think his match with Burke at Judgment Day will be good. I'm glad ECW has a match on the PPV as well and not just the ECW title rematch.)

    Joey Styles and Tazz announce big news and they tell us we have a new World Heavyweight Champion and his name is....Edge!!

    They recap Edge winning the Money in the Bank from Mr. Kennedy last night on Raw and said go to WWE.COM for more details. (Or read the spoilers here for this Friday's Smackdown at lordsofpain.)

    Match 2: The Sandman vs. Snitsky

    Snitsky throws Sandman into the corner but Sandman with kicks. Snitsky with a clothesline and running boot and this one's over.

    Winner: Snitsky

    Rating: None (This squash wouldn't even be good enough to air on Heat and that's saying something.)

    Backstage Vince motivated Shane and Umaga. Shane says they will show Lashley an example by beating RVD tonight. Vince and Umaga like the sound of that.

    -Commercial-

    Extreme Expose Layla, Kelly Kelly, and Brooke are in the ring. They dance to Britney Spears song "Toxic." They do their thing and end by tossing the chair out of the ring and posing to the crowd for very little response. (I think all three girls are extremely hot but there talents should be used for something else like managing or bikini contests not stupid dance routines.)

    Recap of Vince winning the ECW title at Backlash.

    Recap of Vince and Lashley's confrontation last night from Raw.

    Recap of Lashley/Estrada segment from earlier tonight. (What's with all the recaps tonight?)

    Backstage Elijah Burke is talking to Matt Striker. Burke says he is disapointed by Striker's loss from last week. Burke says he wants Striker to come to the ring tonight and show him how it's done.

    Recap of The Majors debut last week beating Matt Striker and Marcus Cor Von much to the chagrin of Elijah Burke.

    Match 3: Brian Majors with Brett Majors vs. Elijah Burke with Matt Striker

    Lock up but Burke with an arrogant slap. Brian fights back with a slap of his own. Brian with a leap frog and sunset flip for two. Brian with a backslide for another two count. Burke with a huge right hand knocking Brian Major off of his feet. Burke chokes Brian in the corner. Brian comes back but misses a flying crossbody. Burke nails the "Elijah Experience" for the win.

    Winner: Elijah Burke

    Rating: 1/2 * (Ok match, wasn't given enough time. I like Elijah Burke and his character as well as Matt Striker. The Majors are new to me but we'll see where they go.)

    After the match Matt Striker with kicks to Brian's ribs and holds up Burke's arm and pleads for his forgiveness.

    Up next is a 3 On 1 Handicap Match: Vince, Shane, and Umaga vs. Rob Van Dam

RVD counters the samoan spike with a front kick off the top rope and goes for the five star frog splash but Shane crotches him on the top rope. Shane nails a superplex to RVD. Umaga tags in and goes up top as well and nails a splash. Umaga with the samoan spike and he tags out to Vince. Vince covers but botches the pinfall by pinning RVD with one shoulder up so Vince recovers this time with both RVD's shoulders on the mat and gets the three count.

    Winners: Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, and Umaga

    Rating: ** (Decent main event with the heels looking strong and a nice showcase for RVD. Lashley not being on the show other than a stupid backstage skit was dumb on a booking standpoint.)

    After the match Tommy Dreamer and Sabu run down to the ring and checks on RVD as the McMahon's and Umaga celebrate.

    Overall tonights show featured two decent bouts and a terrible squash. As well as a decent one (Burke/Majors.) This show was ok in my book but if you missed it you won't be missing too much as we'll probably see the handicap match on a recap on Raw next Monday. 4.5/10

    Have a good one, Jason
