[/b] This match was used as a way to get the crowd flowing but also start grooming Mike Knox for somewhat of a push/feud with Dreamer. Dreamer put up equal offense against Knox and almost looked like he had the upper hand but finally fell to defeat when Mike Knox hit his finishing move, Knox Out (Swinging reverse STO), and covered Dreamer for a well-earned win.[/color] A commercial airs hyping the upcoming Friday Night SmackDown as the show returns coming back from other company commercials. The cameras are backstage to see Chavo Guerrero, Bam Neely, and Armando Estrada having a chat. They're speaking about Chavo getting a match with Kane TONIGHT! Armando thinks about it before finally coming to decision with instead of having Chavo face Kane tonight, Bam Neely would face Kane in the main event! Chavo insists that he will be in Bam Neely's corner to make sure nothing fishy happens with that scumbag of a champ, Kane. Another scene appears on televisions around the world with a graphic reading "The Dirt Sheet" (including The Miz and John Morrison). It was a skit of John Morrison and The Miz burning superstars on the current roster. They made a specific insult including Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang - calling them the ugliest and oddest team ever. They cracked a few more jokes before the skit ended - this was figured to now be a weekly segment. Kofi Kingston defeated Elijah Burke - Burke had cut a very short promo before his match being angered of his current losing streak. Kofi interrupted him and caused themselves to face in a match. Elijah got in very little offense before Kofi hit "Trouble In Paradise" and got the three-count and got a W to continue Burke's losing streak.After the match Kofi Kingston was attacked from behind by Shelton Benjamin for an unknown reason. He gave Kofi a brutal beatdown before exiting the ring as Burke exited also. The scene ended and a video package popped up broadcasting highlights of a high-flying Caucasian man doing impressive moves in the ring and it ended with a graphic just saying 'four weeks away'. After another commercial break, the cameras return to a red-dimmed room. The cameras pan and zoom out to reveal Kane standing in the room with his ECW Championship around his waist. He is approached by "Mr. Money in the Bank" C.M. Punk. He says he knows that they may not get along but he saw what Chavo said and he told Kane he'll be out there in his corner to help anything stupid from happening with that freak-a-zoid and the midget. Kane just shook his head and the show went to another commercial break right before the final match. Bam Neely (w/ Chavo Guerrero) defeated Kane (w/ CM Punk) - The match was pretty equal, showing Bam Neely's skills as a wrestler. He put up a good fight against the champion which proved something. Chavo tried a few bad spots but was caught red-handed by CM Punk. Nearing the end of the match, Chavo Guerrero grabbed a chair behind Punk's back and threw it too him and yelled for the ref. Punk started arguing with the ref that Chavo threw it! Chavo then hopped in the ring and clocked Kane upside his head with the chair and hopped out faster than the speed of light. Bam Neely covered Kane and got the surprising win!Neely and Chavo both evaded an attack from Punk as he hopped in the ring to attack. Punk started to aid Kane as Neely and Chavo walked up the ramp smirks on their faces. Punk vowed to get Chavo back for this! Chavo just chuckled and walked to the back as the WWE/ECW logo popped up in the left hand corner indicating the ending of the show. Kane had been beaten his first night as being official champ. Tazz and Joey Styles concluded the show as the screen went black to a WWE logo.[/ul] |

This was a decent time for ECW with Punk really leading the way in my opinion. Some ROUGH characters on the roster at the time also. With such a small roster, you should be able to really utilize everyone properly. Not a bad first show, but I think you should work on writing style a little. There is just something off to me about how you end some segments. Otherwise, the content itself was enjoyable. Bam Neely being brought it and beating Kane is pretty crazy his first night but cool to build someone up. Knox is a bore but maybe you can do something with him. Surprised Punk didn't turn on Kane and cash in. Overall, I'd say its a good start and you should keep at it man. I'll be reading!

ECW on Sci-Fi: Tuesday 1st April 2008...Oh how I miss this product. Good way to kick off with Chavo Guerrero introducing Bam Neely, although it could've been done in such a better fashion. A good idea regarding Neely's debut would have been to have him suddenly attack Kane or something. But here it just looks very random and odd to see. Very anticlimatic opening promo too, it simply introduced Neely and didn't do much for anything else. Expected an interruption from Kane, honestly. Mike Knox beating Tommy Dreamer was a decent way to kick off the show, the two had some chemistry from what I recall. Knox getting the win was the right way to go, I feel. I'm wondering if you'll do the ECW sections of SmackDown, too, considering that ECW and SmackDown had a talent exchange going on around this time. Nice set up for our main event, Theodore Long making Neely face Kane. Well thought decision to have John Morrison and the Miz produce the Dirt Sheet show for ECW; although by now we'd already seen Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore face Morrison and Miz more than enough times. Hopefully Miz and Morrison do something bigger following this angle. Kofi Kingston beating Elijah Burke got Kingston over more, and continued Burke's angle. Shelton Benjamin helping Burke out, good; they always had great chemistry if I'm honest. A high-flying Caucasion man eh? I'd have narrowed it down a bit more, but good way to get us all intrigued. Tyson Kidd perhaps? I wondered where CM Punk had been so far. Kane hasn't had much to say since winning the ECW Championship; just a note. Neely beating Kane...did good for Bam, but not so much for Kane. The attack from Chavo probably justified that, however. Overall, a decent show with several booking errors in my mind, but this is just your first show I figure; this just came off to me as what should have happened NEXT week on ECW, but I still have good faith you'll give ECW 2008 justice! Nice start.

Good to see this back, looks like you started well. You got a good layout and graphics, so this could go far as long as you stick with it. It's different to what's on the board, so I'm interested in where you take this. With such a small roster I hope you bring some names in. Good luck.

This has potential. Like Red Dragon said, you have nice graphics and this is different. I would go on to love ECW in 2009 so I hope to see you bring in guys like Jack Swagger and Evan Bourne. Will be reading.

The roster at this point was pretty small and fairly bad. It wasn't until late 2008 into early 2009 that the talent really starting coming into ECW, so hopefully you can follow that path and bring in the guys like Jack Swagger, Evan Bourne, etc. And I'd like to see Kofi Kingston get a push on ECW, as a fan of his. Will be reading.

[/b] hit. Mike Knox defeated Colin Delaney via pinfall - Compared to every other singles match Delaney had participated in, this one was absolutely no different - if not worse. Mike Knox absolutely squashed Delaney, visually showing the pain he was putting on Delaney with every powerful hit and slam. You could see the fear in Delaney's face before Knox had hit his signature finisher "Knox Out" and covered Delaney for the three count.After the match, Knox hadn't stopped and was going through referees just to continue the beat down on the rookie in Colin Delaney. Knox had picked up the rookie one more time as if he was going to hit the finishing move on the young man again. Just then, you hear Tommy Dreamer's very recognizable theme and the crowd erupts as Colin's old found friend in the WWE had come out for the rescue. Knox had scurried out of the ring as Dreamer went to Colin's aid. The two stood together looking at Knox as he walked up the ramp and it was clear, this was NOT finished business. The cameras panned backstage to show CM Punk taping up his hands with Money in the Bank briefcase right by his side. The cameras slowly zoomed out as you could hear footsteps and behind the annual "Money in the Bank" winner was the newly crowned ECW Champion.. Kane. Very similar to the week before but now vice versa, Kane had come into the room to thank Punk for his rescue but near soon after the thanking he warned Punk "not to get too comfortable with being around as a friend instead of a foe if he had any plans to cash in the briefcase on him." Punk said his "plans with the briefcase were confidential and he was just doing what felt right the week before and he has no intentions on trying to sneak behind Kane's back to try to win the championship." He then reminded Kane that "you know, he could cash it in.. at ANY time, ANY where." He then tapped Kane on his shoulder and said ".. but that's just up to me I guess." and walked out as Kane looked at him with a smug look on his face as the show went to commercial. When the show returned from commercial, we are in time for another episode of "The Dirt Sheet". On this episode we see The Miz & John Morrison poking fun at Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang after their defeat of them on the April 4th, 2008 episode of SmackDown. The Miz & Morrison promised that they would be performing next week on the April 15th, 2008 episode of ECW on Sci-Fi in an open challenge. Kofi Kingston defeated Chuck Palumbo via pinfall - Kofi had more competition here but this time with someone from the roster share between ECW and SmackDown which allows others from each show to compete on one other. Kofi Kingston had a lengthy match here and got to showcase some talent including some impressive aerial assault moves but he quickly ended it with the Trouble in Paradise kick.After the match, we see Palumbo exit the ring and Kingston celebrate in the ring for a little while before he is interrupted by Shelton Benjamin standing on top of the ramp and clapping at the impressive performance he had just seen out of Kingston. This was an odd message sent to Kingston and not much was received but it was obvious that Benjamin has something going through his mind about Kofi Kingston. When the show returns from commercial break, we see a recap from SmackDown on April 4th which shows Chavo Guerrero and Edge trying to attack Kane and The Undertaker. After the recap we see a graphic on screen that shows the main event of the evening is up next and it will be Chavo Guerrero vs CM Punk! CM Punk defeated Chavo Guerrero via DQ - This match really showed the great technical skills of both of these wrestlers. This was easily one of the best matches of the whole month of April with a showcase of such elegant moves, reversals, chain wrestling, and just all-in-all good wrestling skills. The match was a fair battle until the end when CM Punk had weakened Chavo enough to lift him on his shoulders to more than likely hit him with the Go to Sleep but just in time came Bam Neely and clocked CM Punk in the back of the head causing the referee to ring the bell and end this match on disqualification.Bam Neely and Chavo Guerrero started to double team beat down CM Punk when the arena flashed red and fire erupted up and out came the new "King of Extreme" in Kane. He rushed down to the ring and scared Bam Neely and Chavo Guerrero out of the ring, not before landing a few punches on both first though. He aided CM Punk and it looked very similar to the week before except this time, the actual champion was looking big and on top of his show on ECW on Sci-Fi. With such two big events in the past two weeks, there was bound to be a big match next week and that will be found out later this week on SmackDown.
With CM Punk being looked over by Kane as he pointed at Chavo and Bam Neely, Tazz and Joey Styles were able to once again conclude the show and told the WWE universe to tune in next week for more exciting, extreme, amazing action on ECW on Sci-Fi. [/ul] |
