Yay! No more Wrestlemania should mean no more Vince/Lashley crap on ECW!

I’m wrong. Here comes Lashley first thing out - and he has a microphone. Uh oh. His promo’s not bad - it’s better than Great Khali, I guess - he basically just shows us footage from Raw of McMahon’s bald head. Oh, yeah - and no one can stop him. That makes for a pretty boring championship reign if no one can stop you…*coughCENAcough*…Someone really needed to run in on him.

First match of the night (after a promo for Austin’s damn movie):

CM Punk vs. Stevie Richards - winner: CM Punk

23Log’s Ranking: I’ve already seen this match - will not get higher than this for me.

Again with Richards jobbing to Punk? I’m nearly positive this is like the third time. Why don’t we, uh, try putting Punk in an actual STORYLINE? Just me. Punk’s got DDP style rib tape during this match (from MITB) and he sells it fairly well - to the point to where Richards isn’t totally squashed in this match. He is, however, hit with what Punk is now calling the G.T.S. - Go To Sleep. It was called the “fireman’s carry knee to the face, Joey..”, so GTS is a much better name.

Now backstage fun begins as we get RVD backstage with Timbaland (whatever) and more attempting to convince CM Punk to join the New Breed - this time from MONTY BROWN and Matt Striker. He’s either with them, or against them. HE’S AGAINST YOU. Just kick the shit out of him and give Punk something to do other than wrestle the same rejects each week.

Oooh - my favorite part. Extreme Expos-I changed the channel to watch Happy Gilmore. Adam Sandler’s more extreme than these bitches.

Speaking of bitches…
Hardcore Holly vs. Snitsky - winner: Snitsky

23Log’s Ranking: out of pity.

Kane the sequel wins with that boot that actually made Test’s boot look vicious. Trade one roided freak for another, I guess. After the match, Holly gets his arm smashed when Snitsky puts it between the stair pieces and smashes it with a chair. Maybe this means we’ll see less Bob Holly now…but then we’ll probably see more Snitsky. Thanks asshole.

Those chair shots reminded me of the old ECW (not WWECW) - I want to see at least 10 more in tonight’s EXTREME RULES 8-man tag team match. And at least one table. GO.

New Breed vs. ECW Originals - Extreme Rules match - winners: New Breed

23Log’s Ranking: Wow. I got my chair shots AND table spots. TWO!

This match was better (and more extreme) than anything I’ve seen on ECW in a grip. Spots left and right; including MONTY BROWN hitting an Alpha Bomb! Sabu/RVD hitting a double legdrop through a table! Kevin Thorn actually looking like he fucking belongs in ECW after taking Sabu throwing a chair at his face! Tommy Dreamer nailing his tree-of-woe dropkick-to-chair-to-grill! Sandman actually swinging the cane HARD for once! And, to top it all off, the running Elijah Burke knee blast to Sabu’s back, which drove his head through a table HARD for the win for the New Breed. We need more of this. Why wasn’t this the match on ECW? Oh yeah - it would have made Cena’s match look worse.

That’s the end.

Best part of the show: Lots of chairs and actual EXTREME stuff - it’s like they remembered that the “E” in “ECW” isn’t the same as the “E” in “WWE”.

What pissed me off this week: I still hate Snitsky. But at least it’s not McMahon.
