ECW on Sci-Fi Results: 10/16/07
Birmingham, U.K: Birmingham National Indoor Arena
Tuesdays 10/9CT

Styles and Tazz welcome us to ECW saying that tonight Punk will choose a partner of his choice to take on John Morrison, Miz, and Big V in a 3 on 2 handicap match.

-Intro for ECW is played-

Morrison comes out and tells the audience to vote for him. He then shows a replay of last weeks main event where he pinned Punk for a non title win. As he begins his usual slogans (Tuesday night Delight, new face of extreme), he is interrupted by the Miz. Miz claims to be a chick magnet. Morrison chuckles and responds by saying he is sports entertainment and is bigger than anyone on the ECW roster. Cue for Big Daddy V to make his way down to the ring. Striker speaks for Big V saying the “mastadon” is much bigger than the two combined and at Cyber Sunday if he is picked as Punk’s opponent, he will become the new champion. Out comes C.M Punk. He looks at his three potential stars for the PPV and says that they all made valid points and goes on to praise Morrison and Big V. When he gets to Miz, he just says that no one likes him period. He then states that GM Estrada gave Punk to choose a partner, but that doesn’t mean the superstar has to be apart of the ECW roster. Punk introduces his partner to be Kane and the crowd goes crazy.

Match 1: 3 on 2 Handicap Match – Punk & Kane v. Morrison, Miz, Big V
Bell rings and the match is underway with Punk being the aggressor on Morrison. Moments later, Punk tags in Kane who gets a good ovation from the crowd and Kane begins to hammer Morrison. Morrison slips through Kanes clutches and tags in Miz who obviously recieves a lot of heat. Punk is tagged back in, but is found to be on the receiving end of many submission holds, including Big V’s weight being pushed against Punks upper abdomen. Minutes later, Punk and Miz trade shots, but Miz gets gets the upper hand and closelines Punk over the top rope as we go to break.

Back, we see Punk being worked on by Morrison. Miz tags in and strickes with several kicks to Punk’s head. A “we want Kane” chant breaks out. Punk suplex’s Miz and gets the hot tag to Kane. Kane dominates Morrison with numerous blows and big boots and finally his flying clothesline. Miz breaks the count at 2 but gets thrusted out of the ring. Morrison tags in Big V as he and Kane stare each other down. Kane strikes first with a few punches, but eventually falls to after a massive clothesline. Kane is in the corner and Big V attempts his body splash but Kane dodges it and sends Big V straight to the turnbuckle. Miz gets a blind tag in as Kane knocks Big V out of the ring. Miz goes up to the top rope and tries to nail a double axe handle on Kane, but is caught in position of the chokeslam. Punk then kicks Morrison back out of the ring and Kane hits his finishing move. This bout is over. (Rating: 3.5. Holy Cow! This is one of the better matches seen on ECW in a while. Maybe its because of Kane, but hey, I’ll take it any day. The crowd was really hot for him as he delivered. Miz, Morrison and Big V showed great resilance that never let down the entire match. The staredown between Kane/Big V was interesting and I wouldn’t mind seeing those two go at it again.)

Post Match : Cyber Sunday Card is shown (why in the middle of all this, I don’t know) as we then see more celebration with Kane and Punk.

-Undertakers 15-0 WM DVD comes out next Tuesday-

We are backstage where Morrison approaches Miz and argues what went wrong in the ring. Morrison blames Miz that the loss agains Punk/Kane is costing him votes for Cyber Sunday. He calls Miz a loser and challenges him so Miz can lose once more in the same night. Miz declines, but then sucker punches Morrison and accepts the match while Morrison is layed out.

Further backstage, Mahoney is interviewd by Styles and Tazz. They ask about his opinions of what went down last week when Miz kicked the teddy bear in the audience. Mahoney says its not fair that Miz owns contracts of E.E. Suddenly Kelly arrives and asks Mahoney if he would like to go out with her. Mahoney gladly accepts and they are shown leaving together.

Even further backstage, Vickie Guerrero and Estrada are shown backstage. The two agree that the superstars of their respective shows should be able to appear on the others show. Vickie then introduces Jesse & Festus to Estrada. Estrada asks Vickie whats wrong with Festus’s face, but she ignores that question and both Jesse & Festus are told they have a match next.

Elijah Burke comes out along with Nunzio for the tag team bout. Burke looks dissapointed with teaming with a cruiserweight. Then comes out Jesse & Festus to a moderately decent reaction from the English crowd. Jesse gets the mic and says that he is excited to be on ECW, but even better, he is excited to compete in the UK.

Match 2: Jesse & Festus v. Burke & Nunzio
Festus begins the match with an early take down to Burke. Burke looks intiminated and tags in Nunzio. Jesse is tagged in and uses his speed to out-wrestle Nunzio. Jesse eventually gets cornered as he becomes the face in peril. Crowd chants for Festus. After a bit of reversals, Jesse manages to tag in Festus. Festus nails Nunzio with left and rights followed by a big boot. Burke, who is the illegal man, jumps off the top rope, but is elbowed in the jaw and leaves Nunzio alone in the ring. Festus tags in Jesse and hits a flying shoulderblock on Nunzio for the 3 count. (Rating: 2.5. Not a bad match as it was given enough time. The gimmick is working well for both Jesse and Festus as the crowd was cheering them on the whole time. The wrestling was decent as well. Who thought Burke would team up with Nunzio of all people?)
Post-Match: Jesse and Festus celebrate their victory as we are then shown a recap of Kanes dominance earlier in the night.

-Raw Rebound is shown of Umaga’s destruction to the jobber he decimated in the 3 specialty matches.-

Back, Styles and Tazz describe to the people how to vote for your Cyber Sunday picks. Tazz chose the First Blood Match stipulation for the Umaga/HHH match.

Miz’s music hits the arena as he comes out to a hord of boos. Then Morrison entered to a mixed reaction as he was holding his jaw from the sucker punch he received earlier in the night.

Match 3: Main Event: Miz v. Morrison
Match begins with Morrison going directly at the Miz with a tackle. He then strikes Miz’s abdomen with a few punches. Just as Miz tries to gain momentum, Morrison high round kicks Miz in the sternum. Morrison then places Miz on the turnbuckle and runs towards Miz, but only to crash into the turnbuckle. Miz now is in control. He throws a few punches and kicks, but once again is countered by Morrison with yet another kick to the head. Morrison place Miz up on the ropes and tries to nail a back suplex but is countered when Miz revereses the move and lands on top of Morrison. Both men hurt and knocked down. Big V’s music hits and he is on his way to the ring. He slams the Miz down and gives Morrison a Samoan Drop. Big Daddy V holds up is ‘V for Victory’ sign as ECW comes to a close. No-Contest (Rating:1.5. The match was decent as it didn’t dissapoint too much. The purpose of this match was to hype these three men for the Cyber Sunday PPV. From that perspective, it did a good job in doing that. Morrison and Miz continue to show great wrestling skills in the ring. Not bad.)

Overall, tonights show was exciting. I’m into the roster splitting with ECW/Smackdown. Both shows could use fresh stars for promotions. Hopefully this leads to better rivalries. Seeing Kane tonight was great. The fans of UK are tremendous as they were up cheering or booing the entire night. If you missed tonights show, don’t be too hard on yourself, but I believe that tonights show was definitely worth a watch. 6.5/10.

Quick Match Results:
-Punk & Kane defeat Big V, Miz and Morrison in a 3 on 2 Handicap Match

-Miz and Morrison fight to a no-contest when Big V interferes.
