OK, I just got done watching the Punk/Burke match, and I've come to the realization that I like ECW more than Raw.
No, seriously. If you look past the main event, ECW really isn't that bad a show. There's usually at least one decent wrestling match and not too much fluff, which is more than I can say for Raw these days. SmackDown's still my favorite of the WWE brands, but in my eyes, ECW is currently second best, and Raw is a distant third.

Smackdown >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ecw>Raw I think ECW usually sucks about as much as Raw, which is why I wasn't watching tonight. Then I saw that Punk and Burke were about to wrestle and turned it on. Great TV match. Damn them burying Punk! Those clean wins are going to ruin his momentum!  . Burke is awesome too, I hope they go somewhere with him. |

I'm tired of undefeated streaks and dominance. It's like Samoa Joe, you can't watch any TNA matches of him with as much excitement because he won everything but two. Yea he was undefeated but lost the X title TWICE. |

I just questioned him losing clean to Bob Holly. |

WWECW was good tonight and a great deal more tolerable than Raw, where I usually change the channel or turn it off for a good 20 minutes in between.
At least minus the Expose crap, which looked like glorified Nitro Girl wannabes.

I agree Hitman, ECW was really good this week and last week too. I actually like it better than Impact too. I feel like TNA tries to cram way too much into its hour show. ECW seems to have excellent pacing with its hour.
ECW lately has been a wrestling show that I don't feel embarassed to watch. That's funny how that turned out, since just a short month ago it put on the worst PPV in recent history. I am guessing that there are some people within WWE who are determined to make ECW work after all, so they have really done a good job of keeping it focused.

O well I didn't know but yea I considered D2D his first loss. I heard about the Holly loss but the first thing I thought was because he was a veteran and whatever. It made sense to me. And it turned out to be that he was a veteran and that was the reason. |

It was a good show tonight...except the crowd was not the best for giving the heels they're credit. There was hardly any reaction for Burke, which was disappointing.
Another thing that offended me was when a Styles commentated that he would rather hang himself with a tv cable (suicide) after a Striker comment (which he was NOT being that much of a heel for just taking some notes on Punk)
