I actually like Test, I don't think he is anything great but definitely better than Lashley or Batista. Dude is getting screwed by horrid booking. First he jobs-clean before the PPV then he just gets counted-out in a quickie excuse for a title-bout on the PPV? Geez ECW is going down the crapper.

It doesn't make any sense to have a title match two weeks on free TV before it is to be on a PPV and have it end with the challenger for the title to get counted out. Stupid WWE!!!!

I just wish they would end ECW all ready so the few that I like there (Punk, RVD, Burke and Thorn) could go to a real brand. I didn't include Sabu or Sandman because I don't think their gonna be around much longer.

- According to reports, Vince McMahon was furious over the Lashley/Test match last night. Sources say that McMahon ordered the countout victory to maintain Lashley's reputation as an unstoppable force, but because of the lackluster crowd reaction, McMahon took out his frsutrations on several of the Extremists backstage, threatening to fire them.
- The third match of the Test/Lashley series is still slated to take place this week on ECW on Sci-Fi at 10 pm et.

If anything the ECW match before sunday should have been booked like the rumble match was and vice versa.
Although I couldn't care less about either guy it would have made more sense Test being "smart" and saving himself for the Rumble by getting counted out on ECW last Tuesday. This was dumb and made ECW look even more 3rd rate than i thought it could be.

Maybe all this horrid booking is intended to lead to a Heyman comeback or something I dunno.... God wouldnt it be sweet if when Vince is on ECW tonight, Heyman comes out and confronts him! Haha It's pretty much impossibile but just think about where ECW could go from there if it happened.

Spoilers for Lashley vs Test III!!!
This horrible match causes a rip in the fabric of space and time, which in the process will suck Lashley, Test, and Vince McMahon into another dimension completely. Afterwards, the audience will let out a cheer of glory and celebrate as CM Punk entertains the crowd by drinking 50 gallons of Pepsi and Tommy Dreamer dances the Charleston... while a returning Zombie hobbles around the outside of the ring, passing out copies of ROH.
That or Lashley will win... I dunno.

But it's cause, um, Lashley is, er, intimidating, yeah. See, he's sooooo scary and BLARGtastic, that people run in fear, because, um, he's, well, there. Also, Test had this really annoying zit between his shoulders, and he coudln't take it anymore, so he left to go pop the darn thing, and that's why he got counted out. This week, watch as Lashley takes on Bob Holly, because he's a veteran and, um, stuff. It's ratings, i tell's ya, RATINGS! um'ing and er'ing = not funny.

I love how basically the ECW Title has become the European Championship!

Well, let's take a look at this match from start to finish: First, it's for the ECW world title -- a title that has not had an ECW wrestler (save Sabu) wrestle for it since RVD won it back at ONS2. Every challenger except for Sabu has been a WWE original. The competitors are Test and Lashley. Test has sucked since the dawn of time, and is about as over as a lead balloon. He is in a class of wrestlers consisting of such superstars as Billy Gunn, X-Pac, and Hardcore Holly -- wrestlers who will always suck and never be over. Lashley is generic hoss #463, has about as much charisma as bread mold, and has barely more talent. He's already been virtually obsoleted by the recently-debuted Monty Brown, and only has the title because of Vince's hard-on for big, generic hosses. A first-grader's school play will put more asses in seats than either Test or Lashley ever will -- at least the kids' parents actually give a damn enough to show up. Test is in a world title match. The words "Test" and "World Title match" should never be in the same sentence. Ever. Then again, I could probably say the same about Lashley as well. We just got this match on TV. 5 Days earlier. Lashley won clean. And the fans didn't care then, either. The match wasn't even "Extreme rules". Yet the Cena/Umaga match was a Last-man-standing match -- which virtually means "no rules". Shouldn't this have been the other way around? Despite having a load of potential talent that the fans actually show something remotely resembling interest in (Monty Brown, CM Punk, Elijah Burke, Sabu, Sandman, RVD .... Hell, even Kevin Thorne), Vince insists on having two guys (Hardcore Holly and Test) continually pushed at a main-event level, despite neither one having been over in their (give or take) 10+ year careers. The last time we saw an ECW match on PPV was December to Dismember. And we all know how well that show went.......... The match was ill timed, booked horribly, and consisted of wrestlers that the fans couldn't care less about. And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, the ending of the match not only kills what little value and respect the ECW title held (When a curtain-jerker-for-life like Test simply walks away from the belt, you might as well just throw it in the garbage can, Madusa style.), but it also kills Test's credibility (if he had any), Lashley's, and every wrestler that was beat by these two recently. Good Job, Vince. You took a bad match with bad wrestlers and made it worse than even your most critical fans thought possible. Here, here.
