Yeah I know I said ECW is dead to me and it is, but just because it's dead doesn't mean I won't still look at it. Truth be told I only was watching cause I didn't feel like watching the entire Bob Saget roast replay and the Yankees game was all ready over.

It's a good thing ECW is moving to 9PM because once the fall season starts, 10 PM is required viewing time for me of Law & Order SVU. There's also The Sheild but FX wisely replays that. But just because its on at 9 PM is no guarentee I'll actually watch it because most of these shows are hit and miss (much like the Mets bullpen).

I only really wanted to see Hardy vs. Henry because after the abortion at Summerslam they owed us a match and it was pretty good for the most part. I mean Mark Henry can only do so much before he starts sucking wind. The crowd was down right nuclear for Matt Hardy tonight so that was great to see. It's clear to see why ECW's ratings are up a staggering 50% with Matt on the show.

But it annoyed the hell out of me that once again Mark Henry survived another week as champion. I mean we all know why he became champion, but that token reign should have passed a while ago. I know ECW has a minimal roster, but I don't know how much longer they can possibly draw this out. Obviously Matt has to get his one more title shot and logic dictates he would win it then. I guess they have to throw something on the next PPV as if it isn't a train wreck all ready.

On a side note Ricky Ortiz as the clueless idiot who thinks he's hot **** is a great gimmick. I applaude that section that had the rally towels. More people need to bring those to shows.

And the debut of Shawn Spears...excuse me Gavin Spears. Lord knows we the lowly fan would get confused easily if there were two wrestlers with the same first name.

"His name is Shawn, but he's not HBK...". It was a good promo by Gavin though. I loved the "But I have talent" line.

If you want to understand why ECW is the way it is and alot of the WWE for that matter and why we simple wrestling fans will never see a show with more wrestling then entertainment, watch this clip of a shoot interview with Steve Corino and Terry Funk.

I might be a lowly Internet columnist, but even if I had a promotion I would entrust my television to guys like them over someone who just had a good degree any day of the week.
