ECW on SCI-FI Results - 01/09/07
Peoria, Illinois
Report By: Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com
ECW on Sci-Fi Opener:
ECW on Sci Fi opened with Joey Styles, Tazz, and Brad Armstrong welcoming everyone to the show.
Referee: Scott Armstrong
Hardcore Holly vs. CM Punk
The start:
They started off fast with a lot of fast counter wrestling. Punk went for the Anaconda Vice early, but Holly got to the ropes. Punk snapmared Holly, then dropkicked him in the back of the head, getting a two count. Punk charged Holly in the corner but Holly kicked him in the face. Punk came back with a powerslam and went back for the Vice. Punk clotheslined Holly over the top to the floor, then went for a tope suicida.
Mid-match notes:
Holly moved and Punk crashed to the floor, getting caught in the ropes on the way down. Tazz noted that Punk's winning streak in ECW was on the line, which probably means Punk's streak is about to end. Wait didn't it end at December to Dismember? Holly worked over Punk with a side chinlock. Punk fought his way back up but Holly cut him off with a back elbow as Punk rebounded off the ropes. Holly used the ropes to tie up Punk and work him over with clubbing shots across the chest. He choked Punk on the ropes, who was now bleeding from the mouth. Holly went to the center turnbuckle and hit a legdrop for a near fall. Punk came back with a series of knee strikes, then springboarded off the ropes into a high crossbodyblock for another near fall. Holly cut off Punk with a dropkick, scoring a two count.
The Finish:
Punk came charging for a high knee in the corner but Holly cut him off and clotheslined him across the ropes. He slammed Punk into the cornerpost, then nailed the Alabama Slam for the pinfall. Not how I would have ended Punk's winning streak, but the match was solid.
Winner - Hardcore Holly
Backstage:
Backstage, referee Mickie Henson told Test his match was next. Test said that he shouldn't have to wrestle tonight because he should be the one in the ECW World championship. He said that he was better than Bobby Lashley and Rob Van Dam. He said he wasn't going to go out to the ring tonight because he shouldn't have to wrestle. The promo came off way too scripted and flat to be effective in my opinion.
In the arena:
Elijah Burke was in the ring and said that last week, he prophesized that Sylvester Turkay would beat someone and that's exactly what happened. He said that he told Turkay to stay in the back because this week, Burke promised, he was going to knock someone out. He challenged anyone from the building to come to the ring. Cue Sandman's grand entrance. Burke had a big smile on his face. Sandman, who busted himself up during his entrance, entered the ring and had words center ring with Burke. Burke went to punch him but Sandman used his cane to block it. Burke landed a few lefts but Sandman began caning him. Burke left the ring and told Sandman to put the cane back. Burke finally backed off and left ringside. They began playing Sandman's music. Segment just seemed to end without any real conclusion. A different first chapter for this storyline.
Extreme Rules Match
Referee: Mickey Hensen
The Great Khali vs. Tommy Dreamer
The start:
Daivari was with Khali. Dreamer came out wielding a street sign, but Khali stepped on the sign as Dreamer entered the ring, rending it useless. He began destroying Dreamer with headbutt and clotheslines. Dreamer pulled himself back to his feet using the ropes. Khali forced him back down and choked Dreamer with his boot.
The Finish:
Khali nailed Dreamer with an elbow, then smothered Dreamer's face. Dreamer finally came back with street sign shots but was cut off when Khali punched the sign into Dreamer's face. Khali picked up Dreamer by the throat and slammed him down. He stepped on Dreamer's chest and pinned him.
Winner - The Great Khali
Backstage:
Backstage Rob Van Dam was interviewed. He said that everyone backstage says RVD is too cool to care about anything. He said that wasn't true because he cares about ECW and cares about being the ECW World champion. He said that it capped the ten year journey that started the night he first stepped into an ECW ring (January 1996 to be exact) and he cared about the night in July the belt was taken from him in Philadelphia. He said that tonight, the title goes back home to RVD.
During the break:
They showed replays of Dreamer getting destroyed by Khali. They showed Dreamer fighting back to his feet during commercial. Joey Styles said that no matter what happens to Dreamer the spirit of ECW keeps him going.
Referee: Mike Posey
Shannon Moore vs. Kevin Thorn
Ariel was dressed like a gothic Catholic school girl. I never saw anyone like her when I attended St. Mel's Elementary in Queens, NY. Thorn cut off Moore as he slid between Thorn's legs and clotheslined him. He clobbered Moore with a series of punches. Thorn slammed Moore backwards off the ropes into the ring. Thorn put Moore on the ropes, stared into Moore's face, then drilled him with an Ace Cutter. They called it the "Dark Kiss."
Winner - Kevin Thorn
Backstage:
They showed ECW World champion Bobby Lashley warming up backstage.
Kelly Kelly:
They aired a video feature on Kelly Kelly, announcing she would return to ECW next week.
ECW Championship Match
Referee: Scott Armstrong
Rob Van Dam vs. Bobby Lashley (c)
The start:
Lashley and RVD locked up. Van Dam was shoved into the ropes and shoulderblocked down. Van Dam and Lashley went back and forth with a series of offensive moves and faced off as ECW went to commercial. As they came back, Lashley slammed RVD. They showed clips of some good physical action from during the commercial break.
Mid-match notes:
Lashley hit a beel out of the corner. He charged RVD for a tackle but Dreamer dropped down into a drop toehold, sending Lashley into the turnbuckles. Van Dam nailed his split legged moonsault for a two count. Van Dam nailed Lashley with a Ryder Kick off the top rope. he cinched in head scissors on Lashley. Van Dam nailed a thrust kick for another near fall. Lashley pulled RVD into a Torture Race but RVD escaped and hit the windmill reverse kick. RVD nailed Rolling Thunder on Lashley.
Lashley drilled RVD with a belly-to-belly suplex. He charged for a spear but RVD evaded and Lashley landed on the floor. Van Dam dropped Lashley on the table and went for a corkscrew legdrop on the table, but Lashley moved. RVD went down screaming and holding the leg. Lashley tossed RVD back into the ring and went to work. He nearly scored a pin after a backdrop. RVD was drilled with a series of spears in the corner.
The Finish:
Lashley hit a snap suplex, then hit a delayed vertical suplex. Lashley measured RVD and speared him. Lashley prepared for his finisher but was hit from behind with a steel chair by Test. Test ran off the referee then sent RVD out of the ring. Test glared down at the beaten Lashley, then stalked off.
