We have a new champ
Yes, Chavo did it, with some help from Edge of course. So I guess the new rivalry will be CM Punk and Chavo. I'm not sure if this is such a good move. Nothing against Chavo, he's great in the ring, but I'm not sure if he has a large enough profile to boost Punk. One would figure by now Punk would be moving onto bigger things than the ECW, but for variuous reasons has not seen his push. It looked like things were going well with Morrison and the Miz, but that ended as soon as it began. As I stated in previous writings, this may lead to Punk finding his way to Smack Down looking for revenge against Edge. Who knows, but I feel this throws another cloud over ECW. Not sure what direction this show is going, and with Chavo as its champ it further muddies the situation. We shall have to wait and see how all this plays out.
Tonight we also saw the debut of Koffi Kingston. I like what I saw out of the guy. Plenty of athletic moves and lots of energy. But if he is to make a lasting impression he will need more than this. The WWE generally doesn't push the athletic guys much, as they favor more traditional wrestlers. It will be interesting to see what else he can bring to the table and if he can find himself in a major program or fall off the face of the earth like Elijah Burke
