Pros
CM Punk/Richards was a fantastic match showcasing a more technical wrestling style and actual selling! The GTS is a cool name for a finisher, just only as an acronym. Richards still has it in him, I don't know why they don't use him more as a jobber. I mean you can fool some of the fans most of the time, but I'm starting to get very aware of the resurgence of squash matches. And I mean like early 90s Primetime Wrestling type squashes. And thats not just in ECW. But still, it was a primo match, it was the first in weeks that held my attention, and I'm starting to like Punk more and more. I see why he was so popular in the indies, and I love that he only gets 12 minutes to wrestle so he doesn't circle the ring for the first quarter of an hour like he did in that Punk/Joe match I saw.
Snitsky/Holly wasn't bad at all, and I guess they are actually trying to push Snitsky to feud with Lashley somewhere down the line. They are doing a good job building him up as a powerhouse. I just hope they pull his creepy fetishes into his character to give him more depth.
The extreme rules match was incredible and perfect for a main event, even if it was clusterf***. My only complaint was that the end spot was so predictable because they kept having problems setting up that table. I guess you could say that Sabu REALLY wanted to use it...But it was still a fantastic match. Hopefully we get more extreme rules matches like these on a regular basis. I'm starting to like the New Breed more and more, and to be honest, I think they are probably some of the best new talent all of WWE has. They truly are the New Breed. I also kinda wish their was more blood, and then maybe played Thorne into that, but oh well we still got a good match from it.
Cons
Lashley. Christ this guy is boring. To be honest, I turned on AMC (the channel above Sci-Fi for me) for his segment. I want them to know that Lashley don't draw no ratings. He's just a big Battletoad. A Battletoad that had a lobotomy. Kinda like if Goldberg and Lesnar merged and crapped out Lashley, like when the two Buus merged in DBZ and crapped out that thin one. Or at least I remember it like that.
Extreme Expose is not over. They get NO reaction...period. God I hope Johnny Ace is in the doghouse for hiring those bimbos. Layla is hot, but Kelly has a pot face and Brooke has the ugliest face I have seen in a while. Her jaw is so wide it's gross. But she does have an ass. And came off as a total whore. I'd say move Expose to RAW or SD!. They aren't needed in a one hour show.
Overall this show made me like ECW. It makes me want to watch it again, if they can book it as well as they did this week.

...But how do you feel about...Timbaland?
...
Nah, just kidding, it was an awesome show. The first one that I've got to see on Tuesday (I didn't have the DVR it) in a long time.
The Elijah Experience through the table caught me off guard. I was expecting the generic Irish Whip or maybe a very dedicated Pounce (although that did make an appearence).
All in all, when it was said and done, I wondered how come this was on Tuesday and the regular 8-man was at Wrestlemania.

I pretty much agree, I caught the show for a change....Punk/Richards was really good (But why does Stevie NEVER get to win!?) and the 8 man tag was great, thats the match that shoulda been at Mania....but with the Originals still winning.
Lashley is just plain horrible, I dont see why he speaks, ever.
Get "Timbaland" the f*** off my TV. Now.
And why did Snitsky stop trying with his boot? It used to look vicious and stiff when he'd run, now he just lifts his leg like an old dog.

attribute the show being great last night to it taking place in fort wayne. that place is PPV hot when it comes to wrestling. it seems they never get anything more than the occasional smackdown taping which sucks cuz the builidng is HUGE. at least 10,000

I also thought the show was pretty great. CM Punk & Richards always have a good match. The E needs to use Stevie more. He's so underused & underrated.
The main event was awesome.

Actually, they got a reaction soon after they did their "thing." It's probably because of the pyro, but a reaction is a reaction.
As for the 8-man, I yelled Holy s*** when Elijah did the Elijah experience to Sabu, which has been awhile that I had yelled something crazy like that.

I actually started laughing when I Elijah did the Elijah Express through the table. Maybe it was because it caught Sabu so off guard. But the whole match was great. I haven't been watching ECW, but know I'm gonna start watching it regularly. |

It was actually a good show. And if Stevie has to lose to anyone, it might as well be CM.
I was disappointed that they didn't let Stevie tell the announcer to tell the audience that he was OK. That's a gimmick that a license to print money.
American money, even!

Is it wrong that I thought the main event was on the same par of complete time wasting as the Lashley promo?
That match...that match wasn't a very good match thingy. "Whoa...it was 'Extreme Rulz', u crazy, it rock'd!"...But, no, it really didn't. Yeah, Burke dude did some knees on Sabu...that's supposed to be special? It's Sabu for Goodness sake, if that dude can't take some weak knees, something's seriously wrong.
Punk/Richards was decent, for what it was. But it wasn't much. Was just an excuse to name the Go 2 Sleep?
Then there was Monty Brown saying the same ol' 'with us.....*20 minute pause*.....or against us* gimmick. This sucks.

I think we're well beyond the point where Sabu could take anything, the guy tapped out to Cena's STFU, been beaten by Big Show's chokeslam, Umaga's Samoan Spike, and I'm sure a s***load of other finishers. |

Then all the New Breed, especially Elijah, just magically stop selling the beating they received during the match. |

I'll give you that Lashley and mic time should never go together, but his talking wasn't that bad. The Snitsky/Holly match was done to push Snitsky as a credible challenger to Lashley and the match itself wasn't bad. The Punk/Stevie match was good. I can only hope John Cena was watching and taking notes on how to sell properly THROUGHOUT AN ENTIRE MATCH. The 8 man match was great, had some good spots with an innovative ending. I know Sabu got pinned by Burke, but this isn't Sabu of 1997 we're talking about. He's alot older, and he's been pinned by alot weaker moves in the WWE than double knees through a table. If anyone didn't find this WWECW episode good or at least watchable, then they should probably not watch WWECW again cuz this is about as good as it's gonna get. |
