ECW 2/6
The weekly hour waste of time otherwise known as ECW took place Tuesday night on Sci-Fi, and as usual, the show was rather bland with little to offer hope that someday this brand is going to even be near the same level as even SmackDown. The angle they are pushing and will push till Mania is the ECW "New Breed" vs the ECW "Originals." The new guys include Matt Striker, Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von, and Kevin Thorn. The old guys are Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Balls Mahoney, RVD, and Sabu. The end result is you will have some sort of match at Mania likely with it being 4-on-4 with Extreme Rules. In the meantime, you'll have weekly beat downs of the old guys until Mania.
The other "big" news on the show was the return (did we miss him) of a bald, shaven Val Venis. Just kidding, it was actually Gene Snitsky, who has about as much wrestling ability on some nights as the Great Kahli. Snitsky came into the ring and took out Bobby Lashley after the champion beat Hardcore Holly in a title match that aired halfway through the show for no reason. You have got to be kidding me to think for one minute that Gene Snitsky, who was just a mainstay on Heat not that long ago, is going to find a way to get into a ECW Title match at Mania. That match for sure will be the restroom and food stand match if that's the case.
Matches on this awful show included the following: Kevin Thorn beating Tommy Dreamer with Matt Striker as ref, Lashley pinning Holly, Marcus Cor Von winning in basically a squash over Balls Mahoney, and Elijah Burke pinning RVD with help from the new breed. Nice that they take RVD, a guy that could really carry ECW, and have him pinned two straight weeks by Hardcore Holly and then Burke. The booking on this show just gets worse and worse week after week.
Enough on this show, just fast forward me to Mania and Snitsky and Lashley so I can use the restroom.
