Happy Halloween, ECW style ghouls and gals. Yes I know its a little cliche, but hey lets have some festive fun. ECW tonight gave us some tricks and treats in the form of a Monster Bash Battle Royal, hardcore rules match, number one contender match and a variety of costumes and freaks. Overall not a bad show. As I have mentioned before it looks like Elijah Burke is falling out of favor with the top brass. Tonight he had the chance to showcase his talents against Jimmy Wang Yang. At this rate Burke may even find himself out of any plans by the new year.
As one man falls another will rise, and it looks like the Miz is on the rise. From a title match at Cyber Sunday to the top contender match tonight. Yes I know he lost both, but I hate to admit it, he looked very good in each match. He did struggle on Smack Down but looks like he is finding himself in ECW. It should be interesting to see if he continues being a player in the companies plans.
Hey we got to see a hardcore rules match tonight. Yes it did have gimmicks like the wrestlers in costumes and pumpkin pies and a apple tub being used, but it good to see some extreme back in ECW. Granted this was no way near how it use to be, but Dreamer and Nunzio put on a good match. If the WWE is afraid to go back to the old days for fear of injury or the possibility of ECW outshining the other brands, then this match is a good way of keeping the extreme in ECW. I would love to see more matches like this in the future.
And finally the Monster Battle Royal. Just 4 big behemoths beating on each other for a couple of minutes. It may be the start of a Kane and Mark Henry feud on Smack Down as they were the final combatants. The question now is what happens to Big Daddy V. Its clear the title will be a rivalry of CM Punk and John Morrison, so that leaves V out of the picture. Does he now fall to the wayside like Burke and Kevin Thorn? Only time will tell. Personally feel V is doing a great job and would like to see him remain in the mix somehow.
