BorneAgain just scored a million points.

The idea of Chris Benoit being treated as the #1 Star of an entire wrestling promotion is a neat one. Yeah, I know ECW isn't a real promotion but still.

Why would Benoit sign for this match? He has no beef with Cor Von. He has no beef with Burke. He can't move up the singles ranks towards the ECW Title with a tag team win. There are no ECW Tag Titles to go after. Speak of the devil, they've seemingly forgotten the ECW World Title.

Please, Benoit was wrestling on PPVs in WCW and wrestling 5 minutes down the street from me in the Armory against Jerry Lawler long before he debuted in ECW, Joey.

Ha, someone ribbed Cor Von and played Scorpio's entrance music, and now Cor Von looks even dumber.

The workrate nerds are about to double-orgasm.

Firebreaker Chip was FROM the Special Forces, not OF. That was actually billed as his hometown in the rankings page for WCW Magazine and PWI. Crazy, eh? And Capetta would announce it that way. JBL arrived via White Limo on Raw in March for his "match" with Shawn Michaels.

Is ECW touring alone again?

Most talkative ECW thread this year, easily.

Man that could be the lamest table break ever. Match went from "horribly fake and slow" to "old school ECW match but one of the bad ones". I like the main event!

Why is Dreamer still wearing that ugly-ass "O" shirt. The Originals won the feud.

Balls is lucky Vince died or he would've been fired for that super fake-looking tumble over the ropes.

Vince actually killed himself to get people talking and everyone's all "it's an angle!". Fucking ridiculous. Consider tonight's show the begin of "New ECW: Year Two", by the way.

Add "BOOING DURING a 10 BELL SALUTE" to Philadelphia sports history. London's grin was great.

A year from now, two years from now, some super evil heel authority figure is going to be running WWE, and no one will be able to stand up to him. And then you'll hear the opening instruments in the "NO CHANCE..." theme, and the PLACE WILL FUCKING GO CRAZY WITH NUCLEAR HEAT. Vince will kick his ass, and you'll have a "Top 3 Pop Ever".

1. The president of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died a pauper. 2. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went insane. 3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home. 4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless. 5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement, shot himself. 6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, also committed suicide. 7. The owner of WWE, Vince McMahon, was murdered when his limo exploded on live television just as he went insane.

They have never done a death angle before. The Undertaker was already dead when he debuted.

After the drizzling shits Sopranos episode, that was hilarious. And really cool, if they play the ALWAYS great "WhoDunnit?" angle. Bret? Hulk? Rock? Austin? Foley? Sheik? Mae Young?

YES! MORE OF THOSE BELOVED "SCI FI ELEMENTS" FOR ECW! And no the CPU can NOT draft the same brand's guy. If you notice, when ECW wins, you get the RED and BLUE highlighted wrestlers from other brands. No ECW wrestlers appear. SOMEONE LOOK: Next draft. Is Khali now BLUE and Boogey BLACK?

Edge should intentionally lose this match. Why would he want a potential new challenger on his brand, being the sneaky asshole he is?

Chuck Palumbo wrestled on WWE.com Heat last week. http://www.wwe.com/broadband/heat/heatarchives

Records are all updated to the ONS PPV if you wanna check 'em out. Out of order for now, fix that when I have the chance this week.

No real preview up yet... MOLINE, Ill. – Tonight, Raw will be airing live from The Mark of the Quad Cities only hours after the exciting events of Judgment Day. The arena is permanent home to the Quad City Mallards ice hockey team as well as the Quad City Steamwheelers arena football squad. Since opening to the public in 1993, this notable arena has hosted a plethora of sports-entertainment action. In 1997, WCW’s Great American Bash emanated from the arena and saw Ric Flair and Roddy Piper in action. In August of 2003, former Raw GM Eric Bischoff defeated Kane by count-out in Moline. In April of 2005, Raw invaded The Mark of the Quad Cities and featured a Handicap Match pitting Triple H against The Hurricane & Rosey. Outside of sports-entertainment, The Mark of the Quad Cities has hosted Frank Sinatra, Aerosmith and the NCAA men’s basketball tournament from 1996-1999. For a look inside the arena, catch Raw at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

Cool, Mark Henry can try to rip the door off for 7 minutes again.

I don't recall her dying. The character's name is Caitlin Rucker. Edit: She didn't die. She was last seen in Season 3 consoling Meadow w/ a few other of Meadow's friends after Meadow and Jackie Jr. broke it off, calling him boring and lame. Also, she suffered from Mean World Syndrome, not depression. Remember the homeless lady with the newspaper diaper? That shit was awesome. It wasn't the same actress for this episode, at any rate.
