Watch ECW This Week (non-spoiler)

Fozzy

I just watched the main-event of ECW this week, an Extreme Rules rematch from Wrestlemania. Let's just say it was better than the WM match, and better than nearly everything ECW has put on. I'm guessin that a lot of people wouldn't be regular viewers of ECW, so I just want to put the word out that it's worth a viewing this week

fatal

right I will do.......
the one at WM was terrible

Ph3n0m

saw the highlight video on wwe.com - the crowd are toasty hot for it - plenty of ECW chants (brought a tear to my one eye)

I expected this to be about Stevie Richards! Apparently him and Punk put on a good match. I've heard good things about the main event too so I'll check it out.

Fozzy

I really don't get why they misuse Stevie Richards so bad. He's got to be one of the most misused wrestlers ever. He never puts a foot wrong, I'm sure he and Punk had a good match. They did last time they wrestled on ECW

Mr.Nice Guy

I watched this just now and really enjoyed it. Elijah Burke is impressing me more and more.

Fozzy

I never really saw Elijah on SD, I'm not actually sure if he wrestled on the show or not, but I hadn't really seen him til last week, very good match he had with RVD. I've heard that the Wrestling Observer reported that he might have blown out his knee in the ECW match, PWInsider are reporting that he didn't and that he was working at the OVW taping last night. He wasn't on the show though, but I'd say he was just selling the injury

Punk was selling the effects of WM 2 days after the show, while Cena stopped after 10 minutes!

I will have to watch it now.
it is true what mr nice guy said about Burke impressing more and more as the weeks go by.
Burke only wrestled once or twice on SD. Burke was Turkays manager and that was his gimmick on SD.

triple h

It's criminal how they use him. It was a decent match too.

Just watched the ECW main event there. Yeah it was good alright and really that should have been the match at wrestlemania. I love the way the weapons weren't removed by the ref, it made it look like there was really a war in the ring. I really hate it when refs take the weapons out of he ring!!!!

EDIT:The steven Richards match wasn't great. It was VERY average.

From PWInsider.com Audio :

Vince McMahon loved the ECW 8 Man Extreme Rules match and gave the competitors a standing ovation after the bout. Dean Malenko and Dusty Rhodes were heavily involved with the planning and execution of the match. It should be interesting to see, given the way the crowd reacted, whether the match will leave WWE more open to doing more "old school ECW" style direction and matches with the ECW brand or whether this was a rare occurrence, given those who politically have been against the ECW brand being anything but a third pure WWE sports-entertainment style company.

yeah, the 8 man extreme match was good.
I agree with dickmcsavage---the steven Richards match was average.
