ECW 8/15
What a show. The main event was so bad, it was almost good. How could you not love RVD and Sabu just throwing it all out there in the ladder match, despite the fact that the match was totally messed up with botched spots all over the place? Give it to them this way - at least they tried and put their best effort forth, despite the fact it came across pretty messed up on TV. The ending with Sabu getting the contract was different. I guess the outcome was the the one that people wanted from the getgo - a Sabu vs Show title match for SummerSlam.
The one thing I cannot stand about the ECW product as a whole right now is the stupid "Paul Heyman - evil GM" bit. I mean, does this ring a bell - Vince McMahon, Kurt Angle, Steph McMahon, HHH, and Heyman (Smackdown). These were all the last few years of the "Evil GM" on various shows, and I for one, am getting tired of it. It seems like between RVD, Angle and Sabu, they have all been screwed by Heymen in the storylines of this show.
The other stuff was okay...Test and Knox vs Dreamer and Sandman is an upcoming main event on a show, CM Punk seems very over despite not being a drunk or druggie. And the Foley-Flair build up was again, pretty good heading into Sunday. One more TV till SummerSlam, and you can bet it will be mostly Batista-Booker and Mysterio-Guerrero SS build.
