I actually enjoyed that segement... pointless, but fun

This "lets forget Chris and do random stuff" route is better then the planned shit.

Makes you wonder what would be happening now under normal circumstances.

So do you think Punk is gonna pull a Briscoe sweep on Burke?

MVP did that in the US Title match on PPV last month. It's a fresh ploy for WWE. They'll do it.

Who'd MVP face in that match?

[JustJoe2k5 0]

ECW Champion Trent Acid.

Haha. What a random reference.

That joke would be cute if WWE.com pulled all Benoit references from their title history pages. They haven't.

how refreshing! No soapy angles, no "Authority Figures", just wrestling! If the WWE would just do this every show, many people would be happy!

You know what this feels like? an episode of Superstars circa 87-92, and I like it. In order to move forward we must look to our past.

[Exslade ZX 0]

Damn, nice air by Burke on that.

[Exslade ZX 0]

What the hell was going on there...

 

Interesting....they're doing the spot from the Benoit/Malenko match..

[tekcop 0]

"We want Benoit." chants?

[Hawk 34 0]

We got a wrestling show tonight. Stick to this format, WWE. Have a "special" guest star every week to open the show, a skit and a quality main event.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

Is this the 1st 'ECW' show w/o an appearance from an ECW original? . . . Well, if you don't count Styles/Tazz.

[JPopStarKami 0]

That was an amazing final sequence there.

[foleyfanforever88 0]

That pinning sequence was straight out of the match between Dean Malenko and that guy he wrestled at WCW Hog Wild.

[Vern Gagne 0]

Have they decided whose replacing you know who on the ECW roster.

Watch them move Rey over to ECW when he returns. Actually, I don't expect a major star. Most likely, a Matt Hardy type.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

One of the Hardys would be a great choice for ECW.

[Superfly Snuka 0]

This was a great ECW show tonight. Although, oddly, I felt myself pulling for Burke even though I'm a CM Punk mark. I hope Punk doesn't win the belt right away; I think Nitro can shine as a heel/tweener champ on the "C" level show even with his mic skills.

 

I just hope Punk and Burke have some bigger program together down the road, as they really f'd up Burke's character just when he was relatively hot with the whole CM Punk/New breed angle being so rushed.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I actually kinda popped when Cena came out, just because it was tv wrestling and not tv discussion of wrestling.

[Hawk 34 0]

They dd this show right tonight. McMahon didn't try to address the steroid issue and expressed sincere remorse about the tribute and made it clear they would move on. Open with their top star putting ECW champion over as a threat in a strong wrestling match to a hot crowd. Followed with a harmless and amusing old-school Piper skit. Closing with a good wrestling match.

 

That's what should happen every week.

[Mecca 0]

Did Punk do a thought to Benoit at the end there or was I reading to much into his emotion....

[Chui 0]

so who did MVP beat for the US title?

 

He won it from Lenny Lane at some house show.

 

Thank you. That's the first good laugh I've had since about 5 PM yesterday.

[Youth N Asia 0]

It's honestly been so long since I've watched WWE, when I heard Cena's music I was thinking "wait...I know who this is..."

I really like Burke and tonight was another good match with him. He does a lot of extra little things that make his matches more enjoyable. I hope the wwe doesnt fuck up with him because I think he's got great potential to be a star. I can honestly say I like him more than punk because punk just seems too goody two shoes or something. If he was a heel I'm sure I'd like him much more but at this point, I give Burke the nod.

This show was good enough for what they were trying to accomplish and it did at least help me take my mind off You Know Who for a while.

 

That said I'm not sure what the point is with jobbing Nitro to Cena in his first match as ECW Champ. Do they want to make sure he has zero heat or credibility with the belt?
