ECW on SCI-FI Results - 05/29/07
London, Ontario, Canada
Report By: Rich Trionfo of PWInsider.com
ECW on Sci-Fi Opener:
ECW opened with Randy Orton coming to the ring in street clothes. He reviewed putting Shawn Michaels and Rob Van Dam out with concussions. Orton always comes off like he's reciting a script, probably because he is. WWE has done a great job of building the RKO into a monster of a move though. Orton said that he doesn't feel bad because what happened wasn't against the rules and it took place during a match. He said that Van Dam has challenged him to a stretcher match at the PPV this weekend. Wouldn't it have made sense to have an impassioned, angry Van Dam challenging? Tommy Dreamer came to the ring. I guess another ECW "Legend" is getting RKO'd tonight. Dreamer said that everyone is sick of Orton. He said that he's not going to let Orton gloat while he's in Dreamer's house and he's not welcome here. Dreamer says that Orton is welcome to a match with him tonight. Orton accepts, saying he will kill the legend of ECW. Dreamer cut a good promo and the crowd liked it but I don't think anyone believes he has a chance in hell here given how WWE treats the Originals. Still, if they are building Randy Orton for Triple H's return, they are doing it right.
No Disqualification Match
Referee: Mike Posey
Elijah Burke vs. CM Punk
The start:
Punk is no longer taping his ribs. They go back and forth with some good wrestling early. Punk catches Burke with a kick to the face then kicks him low. Burke comes back with some punches and forearms. Punk returns with kicks. Punk hits a high cross bodyblock. Punk clotheslines him over the top to the floor. Burke is mad and grabs a chair. He goes to return to the ring but Punk dropkicks the chair into him, sending him to the floor. So far, so good. They go to commercial.
Mid-match notes:
When ECW returns, they show clips of Punk missing a dive to the floor and Burke slamming him into the ringpost. A table is on the mat. Burke works over Punk with a bearhug. Punk struggles to escape and the crowd is with him. Punk surprises Burke with a forward roll but gets a two count. Burke sets up a table in the corner. Punk rolls him up from behind for a two count. Punk nails an enziguiri on Burke, who kicks up at two. Punk hits a running kneelift in the corner and tries to bulldog Burke into the table, but is caught with a back suplex.
The Finish:
Punk went for a springboard clothesline but slipped and crashed. Burke covered him for a two count. Punk went into his striking combination and teased the Go To Sleep. Marcus Cor Von hit the ring with a chair but Punk got it and threw it in his face. Burke was out in front of the table so Punk charged him. Burke kicked him in the ribs. Cor Von pounched Punk through the table, and Burke covered him for the pin.
Winner - Elijah Burke
In the arena:
Joey Styles and Tazz promoted the ECW title match at One Night Stand. Vince McMahon began ripping on Joey Styles and Tazz's names. He then introduced Bobby Lashley by calling him a loser. Lashley smiled and asked McMahon how he was doing. They had one of the worst talking segments in a long time. This was as bad as the night Kane had dinner with Shane McMahon. The basic jist is Lashley wants his title back. Lashley is stepping into Vince McMahon's world because Vince is from the streets. Vince says he can clobber Lashley with "an equalizer" if he needs to. Lashley just keeps smiling and says he's going to win, with no intensity or angry at all. WWE needs to hire those producers from "Springer Hustle" on VH-1 to get something out of Lashley. Vince said the name of the PPV was "Last Stand." Seriously. Lashley promised he'll be the ECW champion after this weekend. Without a doubt, this was the worst interview segment in the history of ECW, old or new. This was just awful and I can't believe anyone would want to see the Street Fight between the 60 year old champion and the polite challenger after watching this. Wow.
In the arena:
Extreme Expose danced. Tazz and Joey Styles talked about the draft and how anyone could end up leaving ECW.
Referee: Unknown
Kevin Thorn vs. Balls Mahoney
Balls kicks Thorn but Thorn quickly takes him down. He fishhooks Mahoney's mouth, then sends him shoulder-first into the ringpost. Thorn mauls Balls. The story is that Thorn has no distractions anymore. He nailed the sitdown powerbomb and the Original Sin for the pin.
Winner - Kevin Thorn
Backstage:
Backstage, The Major Brothers were talking about Rob Van Dam's concussion. Matt Striker showed up and said that if RVD was smart, he wouldn't show up this weekend at One Night Stand. Striker said that with the brand draft, no one was safe, not even their team. The Majors said they already accomplished their dream by making it to ECW, which they did when they beat Striker. Striker said he had a challenge for them next week.
Referee: Scott Armstrong
Randy Orton vs. Tommy Dreamer
They trade headlocks early. The crowd is chanting for Dreaner. Orton shoulderblocks Dreamer for a two count. Orton elbows Dreamer in the face and Dreamer rolls to the ropes. Dreamer tries to suplex Orton out of the ring but Orton escapes and dropkicks Dreamer to the floor. Orton cinches on a headlock and Dreamer fights his way out. Orton goes to the top but is caught and superplexed off. Dreamer unloads with punches. He nails a bulldog, then a sitdown powerbomb for a two count. They are working hard. Dreamer ties Orton to the tree of woe and does the dropkick into the corner. Dreamer nails an inverted DDT for a two count. Orton nails the RKO out of nowhere and pins Dreamer.
Winner - Randy Orton
The Aftermath:
Orton grabs Dreamer and nails a second RKO. Orton teasing the running kick to Dreamer's head, then finally nails it. Rob Van Dam hits the ring but Orton immediately punches him and Van Dam goes down with a glazed look. We're off the air.
