Hello everyone! I'm here again to give you my thoughts on last night's ECW!
Matt Striker was again filling in for Tazz as color commentator. I absolutley love, love LOVE him as a commentator! He's amazing. He knows his facts and wrestling history. I hope he ends up staying permanently.
Oh my gosh, Tommy Dreamer won a match! Oh wait...it was only against Colin Delaney. I mean really, people! I guess they are trying to put a little "extreme" in last night's ECW by putting them in an "Extreme Rules" match but it wasn't a very good. Glad Dreamer finally got a win, though!
Evan Bourne vs Bam Neely! I know I'm probably starting to sound a little repetitive in my blogs but I have to say it: I LOVE EVAN BOURNE! He is sooo cool. I wish there were more wrestlers like him! I get so nervous watching him so the Shooting Star Press. But I think that is also what makes that move so exciting!
Armando Estrada's first match as an ECW Superstar was against Finlay. Just as I thought would happen, Mike Know watched the match from the top of the entrance ramp. I hope they start this feud between Knox and Finlay soon. I think it'd be quite interesting to see these guys go one-on-one!
Backstage segment with Teddy Long, Ricky Ortiz and Tiffany. Ortiz is going on about blah, blah, blah. I don't even know. Teddy tells Ricky that he will be facing another new Superstar next week from the New Superstar Initiative. I wonder who it is. Hope it is someone who is good. I also hope that this person's gimmick doesn't fail them or they don't get enough hype and get let go too quickly...*cough* Chris Harris*cough* I'll say this again, when Braeden Walker aka Chris Harris was in TNA, he was awesome. He was part of a great tag team and I hate that he wasn't used properly.
Last match of the night was Matt Hardy and Mark Henry vs John Morrison and The Miz. Even on Mark Henry, the new ECW title looks enormous!!! I didn't know that the remark from either Miz and Morrison about Mark needing an extender on the belt was true. Last night was the first time I noticed it. Anyway...I just wanted to mention that. I think that belt is just going to look weird on anyone else. It is sooo big! Pretty good match, I guess. Nothing too exciting. Matt gets the pin after a Side Effect to Morrison. After the match Mark goes to hold up Matt's hand, then BAM! He hits Hardy with the World's Strongest Slam.
Closing thoughts...I hope Matt Hardy beats Mark Henry at SummerSlam!


I don't know, the World Heavyweight Title belt is huge but even small guys like CM Punk, Chris Benoit, and oh yeah, the guy who wore it first, Ric Flair, have somehow managed to pull off wearing it. I think that belt is bigger than the ECW Title belt.
Steve BarnesThe shooting star press is very perilous. I'll never forget Brock Lesnar doing it at WrestleMania, missing Kurt Angle by a mile, and landing on his head.
Braden Walker wasn't used properly but he was also out of shape, slovenly, and wrestled two terrible matches before WWE wished him the best in his future endeavors.
