Episode #52: An extremely different regime? June 12th, 2007 - Philadelphia, PA. This week's broadcast opens with a tribute picture to Mr. McMahon, who is presumed dead following the shocking explosion that took place at the previous night's annual WWE Draft. Following that, the usual intro video opened this week's show. Joey Styles and Tazz opened this week's show, hyping it up as being the first anniversary show of ECW on Sci-Fi! They inform the viewer that tonight, the locker room have took it upon themselves in the absence of an authority figure to put on a show that represents what ECW is all about, with a triple threat match contested under Extreme Rules main eventing this evening, Balls Mahoney, The Sandman, and Tommy Dreamer clashing! However, upon this being announced, Shane McMahon's theme plays to a chorus of heavy boo's from the Philadelphia crowd. He walks out to the ring, with a microphone in hand. He climbs in the ring, and begins to speak. The son of the presumed deceased chairman says that he isn't here to point the finger about who is responsible for the explosion, since he knows the ECW roster are all too stupid from the amount of hardcore violence inflicted on each other over the years, which gets a lot heat. He says he's here to inform everyone that he will be naming a new General Manager at the end of the night, and also - starting tonight - a tournament ending at Vengeance: Night of Champions for the ECW World Championship will begin! The first contest of the tournament - CM Punk battling Marcus Cor Von! The first break of the night begins following this. commercialbreak 1) CM Punk vs. Marcus Cor Von - A solid opening bout for this edition of ECW, with these two going back and forth, the power of Cor Von going up against the speed and strikes of the 'Straight Edge Superstar' CM Punk. Punk had the advantage in the early going, but the strong offense of Cor Von soon caught up with him, and he was struggling. However, the support of the very vocal Philadelphia crowd was enough to bring him back into it, and Punk made a fight back. After hitting his backhand slap combination, several kicks, and the knee and bulldog, CM Punk nailed the Go to Sleep, which sealed his place in the second round of the ECW Championship tournament. Winner - CM Punk. |
CM Punk celebrated the huge win, rubbing his midsection, and pointing at the championship which had been placed at ringside before the match had begun. The commentators note that CM Punk hasn't had a one on one shot at the gold yet, and should he win the tournament, thats just what he'll have. They hype the night's main event, the triple threat Extreme Rules match, with Balls Mahoney, The Sandman, and Tommy Dreamer clashing in thier trademark match. A commercial break then comes in. commercialbreak ECW returns with the theme of the 'Rabid Wolverine' Chris Benoit playing through the arena to a tremendous ovation! He walks out from behind the curtain, with a microphone in hands, and climbs in the ring. He says that he feels like he has come back to one of his many homes by being drafted to Tuesday night, saying he has some great memories of making a name for himself in America through ECW. He says that his only aims while on ECW are two things - One: to carry on entertaining his fans, and Two: to win the ECW World Championship! At this point, Matt Striker's theme plays, and the 'Extreme Educator' made his way out. He says that if Benoit was intelligent, he'd know only one man was going to be the next ECW World Champion, and thats Matt Striker. He then tells Benoit that they have a match scheduled in the tournament next week, but they can bring it forward a week just so Matt Striker can embarrass Chris Benoit in the home of ECW, Philadelphia. Benoit says he accepts, before vowing to make Striker tap, or if he doesn't, snap! The crowd cheers, as the match gets underway. 2) Chris Benoit vs. Matt Striker - A good second contest here, and another great contest for the ECW World Championship. Benoit and Striker had a good amount of chemistry despite only working together for the first time tonight, and managed to produce a good match, which the Philadelphia fans enjoyed. Striker played a cocky heel, proclaiming himself to be 'better than ECW' whenever he could, but in the end, his words couldn't protect him, as Benoit spun out of Striker's attempt of the Golden Rule, and locked in the once again dubbed 'Crippler' Crossface. Striker tried not to tap, but the pressure increased to the point where he screamed out in pain, the snap Benoit had mentioned had arrived! Striker tapped desperately, ending the match, and sending Benoit into Round Two! Winner - Chris Benoit. |
Benoit celebrated the victory, having his arm raised by the ref, and beating his chest and pointing around the arena at all the Philadelphia fans. Chris Benoit had won the right to join CM Punk in Round Two of the ECW World Championship tournament! The last break of the night then began. commercialbreak 3) Balls Mahoney vs. The Sandman vs. Tommy Dreamer - The Main Event of tonight that was contested under Extreme Rules was a great one, and the crowd loved it! Mahoney made his way out first with a personalised steel chair to chants of 'Balls, Balls!' Sandman entered next through the crowd with his Singapore Cane, and a cans of beer, and finally Dreamer entered with his shopping cart full of weapons. The match itself was a complete spotfest, with lots of weapon shots flying - trash cans, chairs, singapore canes - and the arena being utilized, the shopping cart being sent into the crowd barricade, the ring and heads being banged off the stairs and announce table. The finish came after two tables were thrown into the mix, and Balls Mahoney was set up on the top rope. Sandman nailed went for a superplex, but Tommy Dreamer came up from behind, and nailed down Sandman in an electric chair drop as Sandman nailed the Superplex on Balls, with Sandman and Balls both crashing through tables! Dreamer crawled over and covered Balls to take the win in the exciting main event! Winner - Tommy Dreamer. |
Dreamer celebrates the hard fought victory, beating his chest, and shouting 'ECW!', a chant breaking out. However, the chant ends when Shane McMahon's theme plays to a lot of boo's, and the son of Vince McMahon makes his way out. He says its about time the 'Land of Extreme' calmed down a little bit, so tonight, he's given a sensible man the job of being the new ECW General Manager. With that, the theme of William Regal plays, and the new ECW General Manager makes his way out to a mixed reaction. Regal stands and looks around at his new surroundings, the camera focusing on him being the final shot, as the first year of ECW ends, and the second year begins.

-Good cheap heat there for Shane McMahon. Interesting to say the least for the tournament. -Punk over Corvon is the right call. Hoping to see Benoit/Punk at NOC. -Benoit over is going well for my predictions so far. Solid call there. -Dreamer winning Triple Threat was a good way to close out ECW's anniversary. -Good show; can't wait to see what's in store for your diary. Just a little recommendation, could you use a different font? Still, good show.

- First off, graphic and episode number and name add a nice touch. - R.I.P. Vinnie Mac - Great triple threat extreme rules main event - Shane heel? Interesting, I like where this is going though. Hopefully a good GM is brought in. - Punk over Cor Von...smart man. - I wonder who else will advance! - One of the best and most realistic promos I've seen lately with Benoit. Sounds like something you'd normally hear. Striker interrupting provides good TV and an impromptu match is what ECW is all about! - Nice one with Benoit getting the victory. I saw it from a mile away, but I was hoping you didn't throw a curve. Keep him alive please. - Main event time! - Wow, match sounded entertaining to say the least. I wish we'd see more extreme rules matches like described in this day and age. Dreamer with the victory just adds. - SWERVE~! Regal being brought in was the farthest thing from my mind. Excellent job to end the show. With Regal, the show could still be like new and old ECW mixed. Summarizing my thoughts: I thought it was a well written show and your format is so easy to follow Shifty. This looks promising my dude.

ECW on Sci-Fi: Tuesday 12th June 2007...Hate hate hate the layout, the Verdana font seriously just doesn't do too much good in modern day simming, makes it look generic and untidy. Good reference to Vince McMahon 'dying' the night prior, but think from common sense here: why would Shane McMahon, son of the dead billionaire be on ECW; the least watched WWE show of the week, the night after his father had been killed? Could have had anybody not a McMahon be suitable for this placement. CM Punk and Marcus Cor Von had a good match, solid win for Punk but I hope he doesn't win the ECW World Championship just yet. Realistic promo from Chris Benoit to follow, with Matt Striker interrupting, but of course Benoit would win. Hope Striker remains a wrestler though, he could do great with a push. Next, hardcore three-way? Not a fan at all; your focus should have been on the ECW World Championship Tournament in the main event; Sandman, Tommy Dreamer and Balls Mahoney would have had a lacklustre match anyway, but it's bad when these three muppets get a main event on ECW without any direction of potential storyline. Dreamer winning is fine as he's the best wrestler in this match, I understand the show's in Philadelphia, but this could have opened up and done better. William Regal as ECW General Manager baffles me, as I think he became RAW GM around this time. Oh well, make him a good last-longing authority figure. Overall a good show that lacked emphesis on a few other ECW superstars. Hoping you keep the Supplemental Draft results the same. Good start but some bad decisions.

Not a bad show. I thought the opening promo with Shane could have offered more, but it was okay for what it was. Two fine tournament matches with both outcomes being fine choices. I do hope that Cor Von is pushed like a beast in this though. Main event seemed like a old school ECW main event, which is a good thing.
Solid start.

Glad you went with Mike Mizanin, Viscera and Johnny Nitro all coming to ECW; hope they go with the gimmicks that they'd eventually lead to have. Meanwhile, Ashley on ECW could do something or nothing for me. Jamie Noble on the brand is quite good, quite enjoying the idea of that. Hoping we do see SmackDown and ECW have their Talent Exchange in time though, could get some bigger showings on ECW that way.
