    ECW 5/15/2007 Baltimore, Maryland:

    Recap of Lashley vs. Coach match and aftermath between Lashley/Vince/Shane/Umaga beatdown.

    Via satellite at WWE Studios ECW Champion Vince McMahon is there. He gives an interview saying Lashley was the reason Vince was shaved bald at WrestleMania 23. Vince says Lashley will get his tonight because it will be Lashley vs. Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von, and Matt Striker in a 3 on 1 handicap match. Vince said at Judgment Day he will be the judge, Shane is the jury, and Umaga is the executioner! Vince promises he will retain the ECW title this Sunday.

    ECW intro is shown.

    Winner: Bobby Lashley

    Rating: ** 1/4 (Fine main event that made the impression that Lashley can overcome three men at once. I just keep imagining the idea of a Lashley vs. Cor Von match in my head! That would be a good bout in my opinion.)

    After the match Burke and Cor Von look on in disapointment that Striker got pinned by Lashley but did nothing about breaking up the cover or helping out for New Breed member. (I like how there doing the whole blame Striker thing. It shows more tension between the New Breed.)

    Overall tonights show had four decent to good matches. That's how I would label this show, decent. The main event was the best of the four sufficiently showcasing Lashley, that he can beat three men at once. Snitsky's match with RVD wasn't too bad itself! Sadly we had no Punk/Burke interaction other than Burke mentioning him in a backstage segment. I'd really love to see a Lashley/Cor Von match somewhere in the near future. Thorne is a decent wrestler and a good gimmick so we'll see where his push goes to. Extreme Expose continues to be boring but I'm sure will be back next week as well as the ECW Champion, but who Vince or Lashley? 5.5/10

    See you all for Judgment Day, I hope to hear from all of you real soon! Jason

    My predictions for Judgment Day:

    WWE Championship: (C) John Cena vs. The Greatk Khali- Boy do I hope Khali loses this match. He should not be champion yet deserve a title match. I'm going with Cena by dq or maybe Cena will be dq'd just as long Khali doesn't win it.
    World Heavyweight Championship: (C) Edge vs. Batista- Edge just won the title so I see him retaining it.
    Handicap Match for ECW Championship: (C) Vince, Shane, and Umaga vs. Lashley- I think Lashley will win back his title here.
    Best of Three Falls for the United States Championship: (C) Chris Benoit vs. MVP- It's about time for MVP to win a match over Benoit. Since he lost at two PPV's to Chris, I see MVP winning the title.
    CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke- I think Matt Striker will accidently cause Burke to lose therefore creating for tension between the New Breed.
    Carlito vs. Ric Flair- Carlito will win by cheating since he just became a heel I see his new found push if he's getting one continues.
    Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton- This match came out of knowhere but could possibly steal the show. Since the Orton losing b/c of the incident overseas seems to continue I see Michaels pulling up a win.
    -If they make any other matches I see it being Women's Championship: (C) Melina vs. Candice Michelle with Candice finally winning the title! She's improved so much. or WWE Tag Team Championship: (C) Deuce and Domino vs. Paul London and Brian Kendrick vs. Dave Taylor and William Regal vs. The Boogeyman and Kane with possibly Boogey and Kane winning. Or Cruiserweight Championship: (C) Chavo Guerrero vs. Jimmy Wang Yang with Chavo retaining the title.
