Highlanders (w/Piper T-shirts) in tag team action.

RKO = Rated R, Kenny, Orton.

Kenny is here! Randy is not wearing pants!

The Heyman thing is a work, definitely. I'd assume that including "Mr. McMahon" in the article should indicate such.

Well, now that ECW doesn't have to sell house shows on its own, the champ doesn't have to be a draw himself.

You'd think they could have put the Richards-Dupree match on the regular show to pad things out some more.

Earliest ending for a WWE PPV since NYR 2005 I think.

Lashley~!

Pod explosion.

Sabu being eliminated from the match leads me to think he'll be getting a title shot sooner rather than later.

Down to Lashley and Show as the last two.

Sooo, Lashley will become the first black ECW World Heavyweight Champion?

Well, ECW fans will buy the PPV because of the brand name. The Chamber and Hardyz reunion should be all they need to draw in the WWE fans.

God, it must be annoying to be there live and have to see TBS stand in the ring for 5 minutes during the commercial break.

Kudos for bringing back the Inset Interview™.

They have to use the word "hardcore" in addition to "Extreme," "extremist," and "Extreme athletes."

Good to see the animated matchup screens again.

D2D promo~!

In-jokery!

Next PPV is next week: ECW's December to Dismember. 12/3 12/10* 12/17 1/7 1/14* 1/28 2/11* 2/18 3/18* 4/1 *TNA pay-per-view.

Batista is the 75th World Heavyweight Champion since the title's inception in 1991.

You'd think they'd figure out that ECW's gritty look was part of its appeal.

One thing I never understood is this: if WWE didn't want to spring for a separate ECW taping, that's fine. But why not tape the ECW matches at live events on the road? After all, the original ECW never had a live TV show; their forte was showcasing matches from a live event the week before. If you're going to run 2-3 ECW/SmackDown! house shows per week, why not tape some matches/angles at them to boost attendance? I'd think the improved attendance would negate the cost of higher-quality lighting and cameras in time.

Cue Fabulous Moolah to challenge Lita.
