Kansas City, Mo: Sprint Center
Tuesdays 10/9CT

Tonight’s show begins with a recap of last week’s ECW showing how the team of the 500-pounder Big Daddy V, The Miz and John Morrison couldn't overcome the team of the newly debuted star, Kane and his partner, the ECW Champion CM Punk. Tonight is the battle of the super heavyweights. Which monster will prevail in one-on-one action this week? Lets find out!

-“Don’t Question My Heart” is played introducing us to Tazz and Joey Styles who welcome us to ECW on Sci-Fi-

Miz makes his way down to the ring with E.E. He grabs a mic and says that this Sunday and Cyber Sunday (CS) the fans have an important decision to make. He then goes on to criticize Big Daddy V by making fun of his size and claiming that Big V only got the better end of Miz last week because he was attacked from behind. He then calls Morrison and his entrance fruity and says that neither V or Morrison can compare to that of the Miz as he begins to boast amongst E.E. Before he leaves, he states that he has one more piece of matter he must adress. Miz turns his attention to Kelly and says that Kelly was strictly forbidden to go out on a date with Mahoney last week and because she violated her contract, Miz threatens that he can fire Kelly from ECW if he desires. Instead he claims to make her life miserable every week. Suddenly, John Morrison's music hits the arena and he makes his way down to the ring. Morrison says no one will vote for Miz at CS and then begins his usual routine of the Tuesday Night Delight junk. Morrison asks Kelly why she even bothers associating herself with a loser like the Miz. Morrison further goes on to say that perhaps Kelly will enjoy spending a night with Morrison. In retaliation, Kelly slaps Morrison as Mahoney makes his way down to the ring. He is immediately doubled teamed by Miz and Morrison and then gets kicked out of the ring. While Miz braggs, Morrison hurls Miz over the top rope and he begins celebrating. Out comes CM Punk. He strikes Morrison with a few kicks and proceeds to clothesline Morrison over the top rope. (Segment Rating: 2)

We are told that Kane vs. Big Daddy V is next!

Back from break, Miz and Morrison are shown arguing in the backstage area. GM Estrada arrives and tells the two to stop bickering and get along, because he is scheduling a tag team match for the main event later on in the evening. It will be Miz and Morrison vs. Mahoney and Punk. GM leaves and the two argue once more.

A video is shown when Big V interefered after Kanes match with Khali last Friday on SmackDown! We are set to have our first match of the evening.

Match 1: Big Daddy V v. Kane
Match starts off with Kane striking Big V with a couple of punches, but to no luck. Big V, ultimately nails a powerful clothesline to Kane knocking him down. Big V goes on to manhandle Kane with two strong powerslams. The battle rolls out of the ring where Kane is eventually thrown into the steel steps and we go to a…

Back, Big V has an STF locked on Kane. Kane barely manages to reach the ropes, but not only gets pulled back, but Big V literally does a body splash damaging Kanes ribs. Big V hammers Kane with a numerous forearm shots. Moments later, the momentum begins to shift in favor of Kane when Kane nails Big V with a high sounding uppercut. Big V stumbles as Kane replies with clotheslines of his own. Kane goes up on top for his signature flying clothesline. He nails it perfectly, but the match ends in a DQ when Mark Henry hits the ring and attacks Kane.

Kane is being decimated by both Henry and Big V. Kane begins fighting both of the super-heavyweights off, but The Great Khali makes his way down to the ring and attempts to strike a wounded Kane. However, Big V is upset and pushes Khali with great force and focus’s on Kane. However Khali is angered and begins a beatdown on Big V sending him right out of the ring. Henry, who is still in the ring, nails a running body splash knocking Khali off his feet and out of the ring. Henry then attempts to beat Kane, but Kane dodges Henry’s body splash and nails a big boot and sends him out of the ring! as he holds his lower abdomen in pain. (Rating: 2.5. (3, counting the segment as a whole) This would not be an acceptable rating had it not been for the events that followed the DQ. Although the Kane/V match was decently done, it was interesting to see all 4 of these men duking it out on one another after the bell. Maybe this will lead to a match down the road in a Fatal-Four Way or so).

-Back, Styles and Tazz go over the CS card.-

We then go to Punk’s lockeroom where he and Mahoney are talking strategy. The two go off topic when Punk asks Mahoney how his date with Kelly was last week. Mahoney simply gives an akward laugh and smiles. Punk says “that was disturbing.” Mahoney responds by saying that is exactly what Kelly had said during their date and walks off.

-A Promo for next week's ECW is shown. On the night of Halloween, Big V, Kane, Khali, and Henry will battle in an ECW Monster Mash Battle Royal.- (Can’t wait to see that).

Elijah Burke makes his way down to the ring as he prepares to fight his partner that he ditched last week…Nunzio.

Match 2: Elijah Burke v. Nunzio
Nunzio is frustrated and begins to trash talk and shoves Burke. Burke smiles and pushes Nunzio so hard that he falls to the ground. Burke is pretty much in control from this point on. Nunzio does from time to time show some heart as he tries to ground Burke, but he just seems to unsuccessful in doing that. Burke teases the crowd on multiple occasions with his out limits elbow drop, etc. The end of the match comes when Nunzio has all momentum going for him and he goes up on top for double axe handle. Uh-Oh. When he lands, he is caught in position for an STO. Elijah nails the Elijah Express and this bout is over. (Rating: 2. Actually this match was more competitive than I thought it would be. Nunzio, for his character, does demonstrate the true veteran skills on how to wrestle and put on a decent show. As for Burke, he continues to get better each time he is in the ring. Good job to both men).

Post Match: Burke celebrates his victory as we then see back in the backstage area Khali complaining to his manager about Big Daddy V’s interference.

Match 3: Main Event: Morrison & Miz v. Mahoney & Punk
Punk and Miz start out with an early lock up. Punk takes advantage and applys a head-lock. A great deal of reversals are applied, but Punk eventually takes down Miz with a moonsault and proceeds to tag Mahoney in. During this time, a series of tags are dealt with between Mahoney and Punk as they both work on Miz’s arm. Miz appears to be in a world of trouble until he pulls Mahoney’s hair to cause a distraction and tags in Morrison. Mahoney elbows Morrison and is in control until Morrison nails a dropkick. Mahoney drops Morrison and goes up on top for a flying leg drop (WOW) and terribly misses as Morrison moves out of harms way. Miz & Morrison are really in the offensive at this point with Mahoney being hurt. The two seem to function as a cohereant tag team, but continue to bicker from time to time.Crowd gets behind Mahoney, but to no luck as Morrison boasts and nails a high roundhouse kick to the head of Mahoney. Miz is tagged in. Crowd gets even louder this time and Mahoney explodes with a thunderous clothesline leaving both men down for the 10 count. The two however makes it to their respective corners and tags in their partners. Punk begins to dominate both Miz & Morrison. Punk nails his high knee attack to Miz in the corner however is pushed into Morrison who hit head-to-head against each other when Punk attempts to hit the bulldog. Miz tries to clothesline Punk who avoids it and Miz nails Morrison. Mahoney comes in the ring and sends Miz out of the ring for his troubles. Morrison is up on spagetti legs, but is captured in position for Punk’s GTS for the teams loss. (Rating: 2.5. Not bad. All four men are proving to be the backbone of ECW. Miz’s and Morrison’s constant bickering is really interesting as the two seem to be on a good path for a possible storyline. As for Punk & Mahoney, the idea worked pretty well despite the slow points in which Mahoney was in the ring).

Post Match: Punk and Mahoney celebrate as ECW comes to a close.

Quick Match Results:
-Kane defeats Big V via DQ after Mark Henry interferes.
-Elijah Burke defeats Nunzio.
-CM Punk & Mahoney defeat John Morrison and The Miz.

Highlight of the Night: Tag Team Main Event

Overall tonights show was good enough for a lead in into the Cyber Sunday PPV. Neither of Punk’s opponents looked too weak. As a matter of fact, they all did great in efforts to hype the event. The encounter of the super-heavyweights has definately gotten my attention as it will indeed be something to watch for in the course of the next few weeks. 5.5/10. Remember, if you missed ECW this week, you can always watch it anytime after tomorrow on WWE.Com

On a side note, I would like to congratulate the members and viewers of all WWE programming including those who are enthusiastic about ECW. For those that have not already heard the good news, this is for you! Thanks to your help and cooperation, it was announced earlier today that Sci-Fi will continue to run the ECW shows on their network for at least another year or so. Through good times and bad times, we, the viewers have watched and waited, and have received action every week. Now, we can expect even better performance for hopefully what will become many years to come.
