ECW on Sci-Fi Opener:
Joey Styles and Tazz plugged the main event, ECW champion CM Punk vs. WWE United States champion MVP.
Non Title Match
Referee: Scott Armstrong
Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang vs. John Morrison and The Miz (c)
The start:
Moore kept Miz off balance early, getting several near falls. Miz tagged out to Morrison in order to break Moore's momentum. Morrison nailed an elbow and European uppercut. Moore tried to hiptoss Morrison, but Morrison reversed then nailed a twisting legdrop. Morrison tagged Yang, who rebounded off the ropes with a dropkick to Morrison's face. Yang works over Morrison with a Hammerlock until Morrison catches him with a forearm. Morrison whips Yang into the ropes but Yang rebounds and catches him with a head scissors, but not until he does several full rotations around Morrison.
Mid-match notes:
Tazz quipped that it reminded him of old Ted Arcidi matches, which may have been the funniest line in wrestling all year. Moore tags in, but Morrison nails him with a chop to the throat. Miz tagged in but Moore armdragged him over. Yang and Moore double teamed Miz. The champs are tossed outside the ring. Yang and Moore attempted stereo baseball sliding kicks but were caught and taken out on the floor as they went to commercial. When they returned from the commercial, Morrison was in control of Yang, but missed a charge in the corner. Yang tried to make the tag, but Morrison cut him off. Yang finally made the tag. Moore backdropped Morrison, then nailed a swinging neckbreaker. Moore went to the top, stopped Miz from knocking him off. Morrison tried to superplex Moore in, but was fought off.
Miz attacked Moore from behind, knocking him off the ropes. Morrison tagged Miz, who put the boots to Moore. He slammed Moore, then drilled him with a stiff kneelift to the chest. He snapped Moore's throat under the bottom rope with a slingshot, then locked on a neck vice. Morrison tagged in and beat Moore with elbows and forearms, but can't get the pinfall. Morrison continued to work over Moore's neck. Morrison went to the second rope but as he came off, Moore dropkicked him in the mid-section. Moore finally made the tag to Yang, who cleaned house on the champions. Yang hit a slingshot dive to the floor. Morrison took him out, but was hit with a baseball sliding kick.
The Finish:
Moore dove off the top tope to Morrison on the floor. Back in the ring, Yang nailed a flying bodypress off the top on Miz, who reversed it but only got a two count. Miz went for the Reality Check, but Yang escaped and landed behind him. Miz ran him towards the ropes. Morrison was waiting and attempted an enziguiri from the apron, but Yang ducked and Moore got nailed. Yang hit a standing moonsault off the top onto the dazed Miz and scored the pin.
Winners - Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang
In the arena:
When we returned, Tazz was in the ring with Shelton Benjamin and a young wrestler. Tazz said we were going to see a special challenge with the new gold standard of ECW, Benjamin. He asked the young wrestler his name and it was Colin Delaney from Rochester, NY, so he got the babyface hometown pop. Colin was acting all nervous, which Tazz pointed out. Tazz asked him if he had any experience and Colin said it was his first match.
Referee: Mike Posey
Shelton Benjamin vs. Colin Delaney
They locked up and Benjamin took him over with an exploder suplex. Benjamin was playing up that he was the veteran waiting to rip apart the rookie. Colin got one shot in, which led Benjamin to hit him with a big boot then drill him with cross faces. He powerbombed Colin into the turnbuckles. He nailed the leaping inverted bulldog and scored the pin.
Winner - Shelton Benjamin
Tribute To The Troops:
Tribute to the Troops video promo. WWE promoted it as "the only entertainment event broadcast from Iraq."
Referee: Mike Posey
Kenny Dykstra vs. Nunzio
Nunzio was dressed like an elf and tossed out presents He tried to give Dykstra a candy cane but got taken out for his trouble. We're a long way from the Sicilian Shooter! Dykstra nails a delayed vertical suplex. He peppers Nunzio with punches to the noggin. Candy Canes went flying everywhere. Nunzio fired back but was cut off and Dykstra worked him over with a side chinlock. Nunzio fired back, but was backdropped into the candy canes. ECW! ECW! Dykstra nails an awesome Alabama Jam for the pin.
Winner - Kenny Dykstra
The Nature Boy:
They aired a video feature on the Ric Flair storyline, which I love. Good stuff and it's nice to see WWE showing respect to the greatest performer of all time..
Non Title Match
Referee: Scott Armstrong
Montel Vontavious Porter (c) vs. CM Punk (c)
MVP took the mic and introduced himself to the crowd and cut a promo saying Punk was going to find out why MVP was "better than you." Punk made his way to the ring as they went to commercial.
The start:
When they returned, Punk and MVP were working each other over with some back and forth mat wrestling and reversals. Punk took down MVP with a single leg takedown, then used a snapmare to position MVP. He scissored MVP with his legs but MVP escaped and went for a side headlock. Punk escaped and scissored MVP's head again. They continue to go back and forth on the mat. Punk catches MVP with a leg lariat. MVP catches Punk with a great suplex, then nails a Yakuza Kick for a two count. MVP worked over Punk and then cinched in an armbar.
Mid-match notes:
MVP continued to control Punk on the mat with a neck vice. Punk finally gets to his feet and tries to battle MVP off but is taken back down and beaten with crossfaces before making a pinfall attempt. Punk slapped MVP then went for a leg lariat, but MVP held onto the ropes, then nailed a boot to the face. Punk fired back but was caught with an over the knee jawbreaker. Anyone who complains there isn't enough wrestling in WWE isn't watching ECW regularly. MVP drilled Punk with a discus forearm, then dragged him to the center of the ring for a chinlock, sitting over Punk's back as he yanked him backwards. Punk battles his way to his feet, holding MVP on his back, finally pulling himself backwards. Punk nails several forearms. MVP went for a suplex but Punk knees him in mid-air. Punk nailed the back forearm, then a kneelift for a two count. He hit the running knee into the corner, followed by the bulldog.
The Finish:
Punk nailed the springboard clothesline into the ring for a two count. Punk was drilled backwards into the corner. MVP and Punk battled in the corner. MVP hit a back suplex but Punk escaped at two. Punk fought off MVP and went to the top but was pushed off and caught in the tree of woe. MVP kept bearing on Punk. The referee counted to five and disqualified MVP.
Winner by disqualification, the ECW Champion, CM Punk
The Aftermath:
After the bell, MVP hit the running boot to the face of Punk and walked off. Chavo Guerrero ran out and attacked Punk, nailing Punk with the Three Amigos. He went to the top and nailed Punk with a frog splash. Joey Styles and Tazz wondered why Chavo had targeted Punk as they went off the air.
