"Bodies" by Drowning Pool plays throw the arena as ECW on Scifi comes to air. Tazz and Joey Styles welcome us to ECW. They say that tonight, we will find out, who will be representing ECW in the next round of the King of the Ring. They also say we will hear from the ECW World Champion, Mr.McMahon. We get right into action as they are cut off by "Don't Waste My Time". King Of the Ring Round 1 MatchElijah Burke v. Tommy DreamerThe Quality wasn't good, but the crowd liked it. This opener got the crowd into it and put Elijah Burke over as a heel majorly. Dreamer had the match won, after a Dreamer Driver, but before he could make a pin, Burke gave him a lowblow that the ref didn't see. Burke then rolled him up with the tights for the win at 8:34. Striker came out and celebrated with Burke as Dreamer got up. Burke attacked Dreamer, but Dreamer fought back. Striker then attacked Dreamer and Dreamer escaped to the back holding his neck. Striker checked on Burke afterwards.Winner and Advancing to Round 2: Elijah Burke Rating: 70%A video hyping Lashley aired. Snoore. The Major Brothers v. Kevin Thorn/Steven RichardsJust an ugly match overall. It was quick and it didn't have any kind of flow. The Majors looked good, but the strange pairing of Thorn and Richards destroyed the match. The upset came at 4:39, when the Majors hit a missile dropkick-powerbomb combo on Richards for the win. Thorn destroyed Richards afterwards as the Majors celebrated.Winners: The Major Brothers Rating: 55%Vince McMahon came out to LOUD boos. He wasn't alone. He came with Umaga and his Son Shane. He told the crowd that the Great Bobby Lashley couldn't defeated him and that he was getting bored with no competition. Just then, "One of a Kind" played as Rob Van Dam came out to a roar. Rob took the mic from McMahon and told his posse to calm down. He said that he is out here to take what is his, the ECW World Championship. Vince laughed and agreed that Rob was screwed out of the title. Vince made RVD a deal. If he can beat Umaga and Shane McMahon in a handicap match next week, he will get a chance at Vince and only Vince at The King of the Ring. RVD agreed and then Umaga attacked him. He was beating down on him, until the Sandman came out with his cane swinging. Vince re-grabbed the mic and told Rob, that next weeks match, is EXTREME RULES! The crowd was hot for this and poped when Vince said extreme rules. Elijah Burke is with Matt Striker backstage getting ready to leave, when Tommy Dreamer comes at them with a singapore cane. He canes Striker in the back and before he could catch Burke, he ran away. Dreamer smiled at what he done as we get set for the main event. Main Event; King Of the Ring Round 1 MatchCM Punk v. Marcus Cor VonThis was the match of the night. Cor Von and Punk have some bad blood, so the crowd was all over this. Cor Von went for an early pounce, but missed and hit his shoulder on the turnbuckle. At 8:19, Punk hit a knee-bulldog combo package and went for the GTS, before Cor Von raked his eyes. Cor Von went for another Pounce, but missed yet again. Punk capitalized on this and hit a GTS for the win. The ref checked on Cor Von's shoulder as Punk celebrated his win. ECW went off the air with Punk celebrating with the crowd.Winner and Advancing to Round 2: CM Punk Rating: 70%Show Rating: 64%

^updated brackets^ PWInsider.com BREAKING NEWS!: Rob Van Dam Signs Contract Extension!:I believe it took place before ECW aired. Rob Van Dam has signed a 4 year contract extension, with the whole legends package added in. Rob Van Dam is also gaureenteed time off, and this feud with Vince could lead him back to the ECW championship. Other News From PWI-The Major Brothers push looks like it will continue, as it is almost official that ECW is bringing in Tag Titles. -Stephanie McMahon liked the pairing of Steven Richards and Kevin Thorn. She feels like it will add to the tag division, with the new breed and Sandman and Dreamer. Little Guido's name is also tossed around for a partner. -The sudden push for Randy Orton came after a final closed door meeting with Vince and the Creative Team. Expect these two to feud for a few months all the way up to Unforgiven/Survivor Series. -Management feels that Carlito was ready to go over someone major. He is inline for a push, but not until after the Orton/Cena feud. -The World Title match at the King of the Ring from Smackdown will be a fatal four way match between Finlay, Edge, Benoit, and Batista. Look for Edge to retain and a Benoit/Batista feud to come about. Til next week....

ECW was good. Although the pairing of Thorn & Richards is really random and i dont see them being a good team unless Thorn drops the vampire gimmick or Richards begin a vampire gimmick and even if they happen it would still seem like a really odd tag team. CM Punk & Burke advancing was good and i hope Punk goes all the way.
I hope after King of the Ring Edge begins a feud with Finlay. Finlay doesn't have to win the title yet but i think he should be main eventing and a feud with Edge could push him to the main eventer he should be.
Glad RVD signed hope he becomes ECW Champion soon.

Edge better retain the title at King of the Ring. My thoughts on ECW: Not really happy on Burke getting the win over Dreamer, but it was obviously the best move. The tag team match seemed randomly put together, and I just could not get into it at all. The Vince/ RVD segment was good, and heres hoping that Van Dam can take the title of McMahon. Glad that Punk got the win

The pyro goes off and we are ready for another SMACKDOWN! They recap what matches will be on tonight's show, including the 3 KOTR matches. Cole and JBL then say that tonight, we will also find out the challenger for Edge's World Title. Finlay's music hits as the first contest is underway. King of the Ring Round 1Matt Hardy v. FinlayNot the best way to start a show, as the crowd didn't really see anything in this match. Finlay was slow in the ring and Hardy's fast pace action, caught him off guard. The finish came cleanly at 6:27, when Hardy hit a twist of fate. His win means that he faces Umaga on monday night.Winner and advancing to Round 2: Matt Hardy Rating: 67%Edge came out in a suit with his World Championship. He told the fans that unfortunately, he is not on the card tonight. The fans cheered at the statement. Edge also said that Teddy Long told him to come out here and tell the fans that tonight main event will be Batista against Chris Benoit. The winner, gets a shot a the King of the Ring. Edge mentions that he has beaten both men countless times and it won't matter who wins. Deuce v. The BoogeymanYuck! Just horrible. A quick match, that lasted 3 minutes two long. The end saw The Hillbillys come out and attack Deuce, setting up the pumphandle slam for the win. Horrible.Winner: Boogeyman Rating: 46%A hype video for the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry aired. King of the Ring Round 1Kane v. MVPThis match was much better than the other two. Kane almost had the match at 8:56 when he went for a chokeslam, but Jamie Noble came out and nailed Kane with a chair, right infront of the referee. He called for the bell and Kane picks up the DQ win. MVP went balistic at Noble and told him, that he just blew his one shot at bigger gold. Looks like this team is done quickly.Winner and Advancing to Round 2: Kane Rating: 71%Teddy Long came out while the two were still in the ring. He told them that he doesn't like Noble's actions, but he is going to give MVP a shot at him. But, it will be for the United States Championship and it will be at the King of the Ring. MVP throws another tantrum, as the crowd gets on Noble's side. King of the Ring Round 1Brian Kendrick v. Paul LondonThis match was amazing to watch. Before and after the match, these two hugged and handshaked, showing the care and respect for one another. This match got great time and went about 13 minutes. At 8:34, London went for a corkscrew and landed on his neck. He held it for the rest of the match, but it looked like a work. At 12:44, London hit a 450 splash and then covered his partner for the win. Afterwards, they celebrated together.Winner and Advancing to Round 2: Paul London Rating: 80%We cut to Batista warming up backstage, as he gets set for his match, which is next. #1 Contender's Match for the World ChampionshipChris Benoit v. BatistaThe second half of this show was great. This match went for a solid 20 minutes, with Benoit playing the heel character. At 13:33, Benoit hit the 3 germans but Batista kicked out by throwing Benoit into the ref. This allowed MARK HENRY to come into the ring and attack Batista. He screamed in his ear, "You injured me, now I'll injure you" and then hit the World's Strongest Slam. Benoit woke up right after Henry left and locked in the Crossface as the ref woke up. Batista tapped out to the Crossface and Benoit will face Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship! Batista then attacked Benoit, because he made Henry come out and attack him to cheat. Batista walked out steaming as Smackdown ended.Winner and Facing Edge: Chris Benoit Rating: 77%Show Rating: 71%

King Of The Ring is looking nice. I think Umaga will win KOTR, and the undercard is looking nice aswell. Orton/Cena should be interesting and Edge/Benoit is going to be good as well.

The show opens up wth the crowd going wild, as "To Be Loved" plays. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler welcome us to Monday Night Raw. The King of the Ring continues tonight, with two more matches, involving Raw AND Smackdown superstars. Also, we will hear from Randy Orton in just a few minutes. They show highlights of what Orton did last week to Cena, leaving him bruised. JR is about to talk about the damages, until "Burn in My Light" hits and Orton comes out to a mix. He takes the microphone and says that what he did last week, was for one reason....He want the World Heavyweight Championship. He tells the crowd that he is not going to apologized to Cena, because he did what he needed to do. Now, he has his shot at The King of the Ring. He will once again become World Champion and be the King of the Show. Just then, John Cena comes running from the back and tackles Cena to the ground. They start to brawl, until Johnathan Coachman comes out and has the two separated. He tells them they will want to hear this. Tonight's Main Event, will be a tag team match. John Cena will pick a partner and Randy Orton will pick a partner. Cena looks pleased as we cut to the break. King of the Ring Round 2 MatchSMACKDOWN'S Paul London v. Carlito:Pretty good opener, with London getting the bigger ovation. Brian Kendrick came along with his partner to support him. The end saw Carlito hit Kendrick for no reason and then nail a backstabber for the win. Afterwards, Londrick made a run at Carlito, but he got away before they can get their hands on him.Winner and Advancing to the Semi's: Carlito Rating: 69%Eugene is backstage, with all his baldness. He was talking to himself, looking pissed at what he has become. Randy Orton is thinking to himself backstage, when he bumps into The Great Khali. Khali mumbles something in his language and Orton nodded, as if he knew what he was talking about. Orton said that they both hate Cena, so, lets take him out tonight. Khali then throws the cameraguy into the barriers as Orton smiled. King of the Ring Round 2 MatchUmaga v. SMACKDOWN's Matt HardyMatch quality was pretty bad, but the crowd was all over it. Jeff came down during the match to support his brother, but it was not enough to stop this monster. Umaga hit a samoan spike and then a splash for the win. Jeff looked concerned for his brother as Umaga celebrated his victory.Winner and Advancing to the Semi's: Umaga Rating: 63%Another Chuck Palumbo hype vinigrette aired. It said that Chuck is here....to win, at the end. WWE Intercontinental ChampionshipSantino Marella (c) v. Johnny NitroThis match didn't get over too well, but, its ok. They carried a decent match. At 8:29, Nitro went for a superkick, but Marella caught his foot, slammed him to the match and locked in the triangle choke for the win. Marella was celebrating, but not for long, as Nitro started to attack him. He put the boots to him and then nailed a Standing Shooting Star Press to add insult to injury. Coach came down and told Nitro that he likes what he just did and gave him another shot at the King of the Ring.Winner and STILL IC Champion: Santino Marella Rating: 57%Cade and Murdoch were backstage. They said that they are disgusted that they weren't on the card. Then, The Throwbacks from Smackdown came out of nowhere, with Cherry, and told Cade and Murdoch, they would get all the matches they want, if they were on Smackdown. Cade & Murdoch think about the matter as we cut to a commerical. Before the main event started, John Cena came out and told the crowd, that there was only one person who could be his partner, and that man is the 16 time World Champ, RIC FLAIR! Main EventJohn Cena & Ric Flair v. Randy Orton & The Great KhaliThis match was decent, but the quality was Terrible. Putting Khali in any match is terrible. Anyway, this match was pretty quick for a main event. It lasted about 8 minutes, because of the lack of quality. The end saw John Cena lift the Great Khali on his shoulders and gave him an FU. Afterwards, Flair disposed of Orton and Cena and Flair celebrated as Raw went off the air.Winners: Cena & Flair Rating: 66%Show Rating: 64%[/center]

ECW kicks off, with "Bodies" by Drowning Pool blasting through the arena. Joey Styles and Tazz welcome us to the last ECW before the King of the Ring Pay-Per-View. Two KOTR tournament matches will take place tonight, including the sole one from Extreme Championship Wrestling. Also, Rob Van Dam will have to take on both Shane McMahon and Umaga, to get his shot a Vince McMahon and the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Just then, Tommy Dreamer hits the ring with Kendo stick in hand. He says that he will be on hand for this match, as he wants to see what Burke can do. King of the Ring Round 2Elijah Burke v. CM PunkMatch was ok, seems a bit overdone already. Some nice spots, in a relatively short match. Lasted about 8 minutes. End saw Dreamer come to the ring apron and distract Burke by taunting him, allowing Punk to hit the GTS for the win.Winner and advancing to the semi's: CM Punk Rating: 68%Afterwards, Elijah Burke attacked Dreamer while he was leaving. He grabbed a mic and told him that at the King of the Ring, he is Burkes, in an Extreme Rules Match. The crowd enjoyed that segment. Kevin Thorn is backstage. He said that he is sick of being underused and its time for him to get some respect. Then, Finlay from Smackdown comes up to Thorn and tells him that, if you come to Smackdown, there is a landful of oppurtunities. Thorn thinks about it as he leaves with Finlay. King of the Ring Round 2SMACKDOWN'S Kane v. RAW'S Jeff HardyThis is so funny, because both superstars in this match, weren't from ECW. Once again, ECW is used for the other two shows. Anyway, Styles and Tazz still called the match and pretty much just went along with it. The end of the match saw Hardy hit a swanton for the win after 12 solid minutes of action. Before Hardy could celebrate, Kane attacked him from behind. He gave Hardy 3 chokeslams and before he left, put Hardy threw the spainsh announce table with another chokeslam. Hardy was helped out by the emt's. Will he be able to continue the tournament? Winner and advancing to the Semi's: Jeff Hardy Rating: 71%Vince McMahon came out to the ring with Umaga before the main event. He said that his son Shane couldn't be here tonight. The crowd cheered at the announcement. Vince told the crowd to not get happy just yet. He found a replacement for Shane. Just then "I'll Make You Move" hits and Marcus Cor Von makes his way to the ring. Cor Von shakes hands with Vince. RVD has his hands full...next! If RVD Wins, He faces Vince at the KOTRRob Van Dam v. Marcus Cor Von/UmagaRVD took a real beating in this match. He was busted halfway through, by a chair swinging Marcus Cor Von. Umaga and Cor Von just went back and fourth, giving RVD shots. RVD was basically dead by the middle of the bout. Vince was laughing while watching RVD was getting destroyed. He felt safe, until The Sandman and Balls Mahoney came down at 12:56. They bought Kendo Sticks and Chairs. BAM! Cor Von gets hit by Balls. Then, Sandman swings and hits a homerun. Cor Von is busted open and out of the ring. He left before the match even ended. Then, Sandman hit Umaga with a Kendo Stick shot right to the left temple that knocked him out. Balls then hit him on the top of the head with a chair. They dragged Umaga into the corner and told RVD to get on the top rope. BAM! Vanterminator. The crowd is going crazy, as is Vince. Umaga is gushing blood. RVD climbs the top and nails a frogsplash for good measure. RVD picks up the win! Sandman, Balls and RVD celebrate, while Vince hightails it out of the ring. ECW ends with RVD standing over Umaga's body, signaling that the title is his. Winner: Rob Van Dam Rating: 75%Show Rating: 71%

^Updated Brackets^ Matt on JeffWWE.com has learned that Jeff Hardy cannot compete this friday in the semi-finals of the King of the Ring Tournament. Hardy has suffered a serve concussion and will be out for 2-3 weeks. This friday, to open up Smackdown, a 4 way dance (elimination) match will take place between the four men who where eliminated this round; Elijah Burke, Kane, Matt Hardy, and Paul London will all fight for that spot. The winner of that will face Umaga later that night. We caught up with Matt Hardy, Jeff's brother, on Jeff condition: "Jeff's condition is not good. I saw him earlier today and he is all banged up. I will do whatever I can, to get pay back on that Big Red bunghole known as Kane. I will win that match and dedicate my win to my brother Jeff." -www.wwe.com Final Card:WWE ChampionshipJohn Cena defends against Randy Orton World ChampionshipEdge defends against Chris Benoit ECW World ChampionshipVince McMahon defends against Rob Van Dam Batista Faces off with Mark Henry! Intercontinental ChampionshipSantino Marella defends against Johnny Nitro United States ChampionshipMVP defends against Jamie Noble King of the Ring Finals?? v. ?? Extreme RulesElijah Burke faces off against Tommy Dreamer Other Wrestling NewsPWInsider.com:-We caught up with Rob Van Dam last monday to speak with him about his contract extension. He told us that he had just signed the papers and will be staying with the company. Anyother source has been untrue. Rob said that he is loyal to the WWE and will NOT be going to any other company. -Jeff Hardy is not really injured. This is Matt Hardy's big push. The word is that he will most likely win the KOTR and then go on and challenge Edge for the World Title. -Finally, the reason why Smackdown superstars have been trying to steal other shows superstars is because this angle is setting up the WWE Draft. More on this matter, as it comes in. till then.

King of the Ring is looking decent, MVP/Noble is a bit random and I don't really see Noble as being credible for the US, Matt probably would've been a better choice although if your going with a Matt push then Im fine with that since Matt is the most over face in the wwe. Hoping maybe Umaga wins KOTR and gets a push towards the WWE Title. Going pretty good so far keep it up.

Matt Hardy being pushed is great news. King of the Ring looks awesome, although I am not very happy about MVP/ Noble, Noble isnt really a U.S title contender.
