Thank you! Jericho to Smackdown is amazing! I liked how you made everyone look strong on RAW, especially Holly and Smith. Carlito is a great hell, I agree. The chamber will be good

ECW on Sci-Fi Results Date: 29th January 2008
The show kicks off with a video package of the Royal Rumble, with Punk retaining against Big Daddy V, and Shelton Benjamin getting into the final 3 in the Rumble match. This was followed by ECW Heavyweight Champion CM Punk making his way to the ring. Punk cut a promo on his victory at the Royal Rumble, and promising that no matter who he is facing at WrestleMania he will come out on top.
WWE Tag Team Championship match John Morrison & The Miz Defeated Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore A decent match, nothing really special. Morrison and Miz make a pretty good team, and put on a decent performance. Moore and Yang nearly got the win after hitting a double moonsault of Morrison and Miz, but couldn’t get the pinfall. Morrison ended the match, hitting the feint Backdrop Driver on Moore for the victory. Rating: 67%
A video package is played. The screen is mostly dark, but a tall silhouette can be seen. A voice over says “He is returning to the WWE”, the video zooms in on the face of the figure, revealing The Big Show! “He returns next week!”
Road to WrestleMania Tournament Elijah Burke Defeated The Boogeyman A rare appearance by the Boogeyman, and it was not hard to see why. The Boogeyman cant really work a decent match, especially with his current gimmick, but Burke really held this match together. Burke used a hit and run offence, making sure Boogeyman could not get a move in, and ended the match when he hit the Elijah Express. Rating: 68%
Shelton Benjamin is backstage getting ready for his upcoming match. CM Punk walks up to him and they go face to face. Benjamin tells Punk to take a seat and watch the next ECW champion at work. Punk stares as Benjamin walks off.
Road to WrestleMania Tournament Shelton Benjamin Defeated Tommy Dreamer Benjamin really is impressive when he steps into the ring, and working with the experienced Dreamer put on an impressive match. Benjamin’s unpredictable style kept Dreamer off guard most of the match, but Dreamer got in his own share of offence, nearly getting the win after hitting a brutal looking piledriver, which Benjamin sold perfectly. Benjamin would kick out and fight back however, and hit the T-Bone Suplex for the victory. Rating: 79%
As ECW went of the air Shelton Benjamin signaled to everyone that he is coming for the ECW Heavyweight Championship.
Overall Rating: 74%

That's probably the worst reply I've ever seen. Great show tbh. I like the ECW title picture, and surely after Benjamin lasting so long in the Rumble, you'd pick him to be the challenger to Punk's title. I hope so anyway. Big Show returning? Cool, I like it. Hopefully he's heel and goes for the title following WrestleMania. No complaints from me. You have a solid diary. Keep it up.

Great ECW, Glad that Miz and Morrison retained, The Big Show returning is great, Glad Burke won wish he would face Punk at WM but your building up Benjamin v Punk so , Not suprised Benjamin won, Benjamin v Punk which will probably happen will be good, but a triple threat with Burke would be great, drop a reply to WCW '97 and/or WWE '08 Please

Batista ran down to the ring but Mysterio got out of the ring and left through the crowd.
Shannon Moore Defeated Jamie Noble A fast paced match that shows that the Cruiserweight division is getting the air time it needs. Moore and Noble put on an incredible match that could have gone either way. Moore countered a Sling Blade attempt and hit the Mooregasm for the win. Rating: 68%
A video package plays of a man hitting high flying move after moves. The words “Meet Matt Sydal, coming to SmackDown to blow you away."

Career Threatening Match Ric Flair Defeated Kenny Dykstra Past took on Future in an excellent match. Dykstra is an excellent wrestler, and matched with Flair’s experience put on a great performance. The match went back and forth between the two and Dykstra nearly shocked everyone when he hit the Guillotine legdrop for a near fall. Flair fought back and dodged another Guillotine legdrop, before rolling Dykstra up for the win. Rating: 74%
Matt Hardy is backstage with Max Bretos. Matt cut a promo on how he has been out of action, but that now he is back, and that tonight, he settles an old score.
Montel Vontavious Porter Defeated Matt Hardy Hardy’s return to SmackDown went down well with the crowd, who backed him from the very start.

Elimination Chamber Qualifier Carlito Defeated The Undertaker The first qualifying match turned out to be a huge shocker. The Undertaker looked sharp in the ring, and is still a massive fan favorite, and Carlito plays the heel to perfection, the crowd boos everything he does. Taker looked strong throughout, although Carlito got his fair share of offence in. The Undertaker looked certain to win after a Chokeslam, but with the referee out cold there was nobody to administer the count. At that moment Umaga’s music hit, and he attacked Taker from behind, blasting him with a chair, multiple times. With Taker laid out Carlito got the pinfall when the referee recovered. Rating: 78%
Post match Umaga once again attacked the Undertaker, beating him to a bloody pulp. Umaga dragged Taker to the ramp, hitting him with a samoan drop on the ramp, before throwing him off the stage! EMT’s checked on the Undertaker, who laid bleeding and broken on the concrete floor.

Glad Benjamin and Burke both got wins to advance in the RTWM Tourney. D'Lo Brown! Nice build for Y2J vs. Edge. Carlito going over Taker? Wow. Glad it was with Umaga's help, or i would have rioted . Don't know if i can see Umaga using a chair though, but eh, w/e. Both shows were good. This diary is going great, and i cant wait to see Taker beat Umaga's ass. Drop a reply to my WWE man.

I have missed a few shows and will pick up after this post. Damn, Mysterio as a heel? I don't think that has ever been done, will be interesting..
Moore/Noble looked good.
Eh, not liking Flair vs. Dykstra. You shouldn't use the Career Stipulation unless it is a big main event for Smackdown or at a PPV, imo.
Sucks Taker didn't qualify, but nice to see some new blood like Carlito in it instead.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter
With WrestleMania looking to be Ric Flair’s final event there are a number of matches he could possibly be involved in. Shawn Michaels, Mr. Kennedy and John Cena have been considered as his opponent, but Triple H has been pulling for a Triple H/ Flair match at Mania.
The Official theme for No Way Out is “Scream, Aim, Fire” by Bullet for my Valentine.
It looks like Jeff Hardy and DH Smith will be forming a tag team in the coming weeks, possible leading to a tag team championship match at No Way Out. WWE management is very high on Smith at the moment, and feels that teaming him up with Hardy will help establish him within WWE.
It was revealed earlier this week that WWE have signed Homicide and Hernandez to developmental deals. Plans are to call them up in the coming months and push them as the main team on either RAW or SmackDown.
