Tonight’s ECW gets off to a surprisingly good start with CM Punk facing The Miz. We immediately think mismatch; The Miz is a good tag team partner but there’s no way he can defeat Mr. Money in the Bank one-on-one. CM Punk is the #4 ranked wrestler in the WWE’s Power 25. The Miz ranks #4 in our Best Real World/Road Rules Challenge contestants behind Alton, Veronica, and Coral.
But the Miz storms out from the beginning and shockingly takes down CM Punk and we can’t help but wonder is Punk’s time in the WWE up?
The next 25 minutes of ECW are spent on commercials, a lackluster divas match, commercials, a Judgment Day preview, Colin Delaney highlights, and more commercials. Then we’re back to wrestling. Oh wait, it’s Colin Delaney. He’s quickly slaughtered by Mike Knox and then GM Armando Estrada. How long will it take Mr. Delaney to be competitive? How many nutritional supplements and protein shakes will he need? Spend that contract money well little guy.
Finally, a wrestling match. Kane vs. John Morrison. We make a quick check on how many minutes left in the show? Fifteen. Again, this one seems like a mismatch but we wonder: could Morrison repeat his partners success against their Judgment Day opponent? Kane’s prolonged beating of Morrison seems to indicate no but then the tables are turned and the Shamen of Sexy ruthlessly attacks Kane’s left knee for about five yawn-inducing minutes.
Morrison puts any fans who haven’t already gone to bed out of their misery by pinning Kane and winning the ECW Championship! What’s that? This wasn’t actually a title bout? What exactly was the point then?
The shows highlight: Had to be the guy at ringside dressed like Hulk Hogan for the second straight show. That’s dedication. Will he be there for SmackDown this Friday? Considering ECW and SmackDown were both filmed last night in Grand Rapids, we’re saying the odds are good.
