Chavo retains gold at No Way Out

February 19, 2008

 

CM Punk’s ECW Championship hopes were dashed on Sunday night, when Chavo Guerrero retained the gold at No Way Out. While the Straightedge Superstar entered No Way Out on a winning streak, Guerrero proved to be the dominant one. The self-proclaimed “Mexican Warrior” hit a Frog Splash off the top rope, then pinned Punk for the victory. Will Punk earn another chance to dethrone Guerrero for the ECW Title or has Punk’s hot streak come to an end?

 

ECW will also receive a special visit from the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who will appear for the first time since being named to this year's list of Hall of Fame inductees. What will the 16-time World Champion have to say?

 

Also at No Way Out, Big Daddy V took part in an Elimination Chamber Match against Undertaker, Batista, Finlay, MVP and The Great Khali. Eventual Chamber Match winner Undertaker hit Big Daddy V with a DDT on the Chamber floor, allowing Batista to pin the Extreme Mastodon. After a loss in the Elimination Chamber, what’s next for Big Daddy in the Land of the Extreme? How will the Extreme Mastodon make his Big presence known at WrestleMania XXIV?

 

On the last ECW, Tommy Dreamer & Colin Delaney experienced some success when the ECW Original avenged his loss to John Morrison from a week earlier. Still, the WWE Tag Team Champions fired back with vicious attacks. Will the underdogs continue to find success in the ring in their rivalry with Morrison & The Miz? Was Tuesday night nothing more than a fluke?

 

Also last week, the long-awaited Stevie Richards homecoming took place. He found immediate success in his first match back. How will the ECW Original’s return from his road to recovery continue?

 

Find out the answers to all of these questions and more on the next ECW on Sci Fi, Tuesday at 10/9 CT.

Punk/Flair Vs Burke/Benjamin? Sounds good.

[The Truthiness 0]

If Punk turns on Flair, it'll be really stupid.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

I was hoping for "more championships than you've had women" right there.

[Hawk 34 0]

I'm hoping it's just to set up the Benjamin-Punk stuff. If Punk is busy with Benjamin at least for tonight, where does Chavo go from here?

Is it just me or was that one long fuckin commercial break?

BUCK BUCK!!!! Kofi has great music.

[foleyfanforever88 0]

I wish Kofi would get more of a reaction..I love him so far.

[Cowboy Battlenuts 0]

I haven't seen much of Kofi, but um, does he have an arm fetish or something?

[The Truthiness 0]

That was the best execution of Kofi's finisher yet, Jason Riggs was kind of impressive.

I don't get it?

 

Because of the arm drags?

[Hawk 34 0]

I'm not sure that'll get over as a catchphase but it's worth an effort.

[Thanks for the Fish 0]

Jason Riggs was a developmental at one time IIRC, along with his brother. They played "seconds/cornermen" to Puders MMA character under Heyman's OVW.

If Holla Holla Holla can get over.

 

Then BUUH. Or whatever it is, is possible.

I didn't recognize him, that was a awesome gimmick Puder had in OVW. Heyman's whole run was pretty damn great.

Wonder if they kill off Hornswoggle? More likely the "brain damage" will led to the heel turn and the long awaited arrival of Mini Vince.

 

Does Colin have a contract yet? He's a icon to all jobbers.

I called for Mini Vince in the 2008 prediction thread, it has to happen.

 

Is Colin going to get any offense in?

 

[Mecha Mummy 0]

I wonder if this will be the night where Colin finally hits an offensive move. GO COLIN!

[MillenniumMan831 0]

If coming out to a ripoff of Man in the Box doesn't get Colin Delaney fired up, nothing will.

 

Too bad old school Vince wasn't there to announce that last exchange w/ the ejection and nearfall rollup.

Doesn't look like it.

 

But he could win with a roll up.

I'm waiting for Hornswoggle's "little brother" to debut - of course with somebody the size of Big Daddy V dressed up like a leprechaun playing the part.

 

[Hawk 34 0]

HE GOT A PUNCH IN!

And what better time to do it than after JBL and Finlay beat the holy hell out of each other at Wrestlemania. I can easily see Hornswaggle nailing Finlay with the shillelagh for the finish.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

I liked that Miz "off the back-over the top-rope choke" was pretty badass.

 

and this needs to lead to Colin busting out something crazy like an STS or Burning Hammer or something.

[The Truthiness 0]

Colin got offense.

His jumping through the ropes corner clothesline is kickass as well...

Miz and Morrison is really becoming a great team.

[Hawk 34 0]

Miz and Morrison is really becoming a great team.

 

I do miss the heel partners who hate each other aspect of that duo, though.

[Thanks for the Fish 0]

Miz and Morrison is really becoming a great team.

 

Until they're "drafted" to Raw and buried come June.

[Mecha Mummy 0]

Yeah, Miz and Morrison drew some loud jeers for the beatdown on Dreamer and Colin. This angle's working, and it's actually the one I'm most interested in in WWE right now (though admittedly part of that is from the surrealness of Colin Olsen on WWE television).
