ECW 6/12/2007 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:
Joey Styles and Tazz tell us Mr. McMahon was found dead after the car explosion last night from Raw. We see a recap of Vince walking out to the ring looking distraught and fans booing him. He leaves looking depressed. Vince walks through all the WWE Superstars and Divas on all rosters and leaves to go to his limo. He gets in and it explodes!
Tonight there will be a series of matches in memory of Vince McMahon.
The bell rings ten times in memory of Vince as fans boo. Tazz call the fans disrespectful.

Winner: Tommy Dreamer

Up next is The Boogeyman's debut on ECW.

When we come come back we'll see footage of what happened after the explosion from Raw.

Winner: Unsure (I'm guessing Benoit and Punk by disqualification.)
Rating: * 1/2 (Originally * 3/4) (I was going to pass it but when the referee just stopped the match for no reason it really pissed me off! Why did he do that? Can someone please explain it to me. But an ok match minus the ending. Since Punk isn't moving to Raw sadly, I would really like to see Benoit vs. Punk!)
After the match Punk nails an enziguri to Cor Von and Benoit nails three german suplexes to Burke. Benoit nails the diving headbutt. Benoit applies the sharpshooter on Burke and Burke taps out!
We see footage of Vince getting into the limo and it exploding again. (Do we really need to see it a million times. I'm sure we'll see it again two or three times on Smackdown and then on Raw again.)
Overall tonight didn't really change ECW! Considering the draft, I mean I expected more. We didn't get the explanation of who is the ECW Champion or when will there be a match for the vacant title. Benoit moving to ECW really didn't impact anything yet but we'll see. Boogeyman = Snitsky. Basically since were not going to see Snitsky squashes anymore, we'll be stuck having to watch Boogeyman matches. The ending to the main event didn't make any sense. The ending of the match was poorly done as was this episode of ECW. 4/10.
See you all next week, Jason
WOW! WWE's Maryse Has an ACCIDENT on RAW!
