Hell of a finish.

In Todd Grisham's first sentence on the job, he ensures he'll never be asked to ring announce again.

ECW's Justin Roberts.

OK, so Khali will "lumber in" on Taker on Tuesday night then.

Talk about hot-shotting the build to Orton-Hogan.

Sabu did a good job thinking on his feet and improvising a new finish while also making sure to get his Arabian Facebuster over. Great job and I'm glad to see him get this chance to shine. The rationale for Taker-Show is to make sure people watch this week at 11pm EST. Having a bigass main event will certainly help people remember the start time. Also, I'd assume Khali will run in on Taker and cost him the match.

I hope Taker goes to ECW and his light treatment is strobes and fire extinguishers.

KHALI BUMPS~! Hey look, Big Show found the #1 contender for the ECW Title.

Hell, send Khali to ECW and wrap his hand in barbed wire. Then his chops will be really impressive.

Undertaker back for another SNME non-match. Maybe he'll Tombstone Daivari again.

I could see this as a clever angle where Batista almost puts Henry on the shelf before the Bash and threatens to finish the job at the PPV. After all, who was Henry's first victim?

I'm keeping the sig the same because he'll win it back Sunday.

That racist McMahon. Batista isn't white? Batista is of Filipino and Greek heritage.

I thought that Gorgo was taken off due to unsettled rights issues.

In particular, the Rection-Storm match held at Halloween Havoc 00.

Shirt #1 is the winner!

Best ECW show by far and one of the best wrestling shows I've seen in a while.

Yeah, ECW should stop the crowd shots unless it's a shot of rabid marks chanting the company's name.

I think that he makes a believable "unstoppable beast," especially after no-selling the thumbtack bump.

The tacks make him stronger! Big Show gets his V3 defense (V1 televised) via submission over Ric Flair.

It took 5 low blows, 3 wire bat shots, 3 chairshots and Show still kicked out at 2.

Did anyone ever expect Ric fucking Flair to get an 'ECW' chant?

Ric Flair = glorified stuntman.

I'd still run it tonight. It would make more sense to do it now because it's been even more established that Dreamer hates Show/Heyman. Plus, it sets up the bizarro match of Flair-Foley for the ECW World Title. What is Ric doing on RAW right now anyway? He's been in neutral since January.
