ECW on Sci-Fi Results - 02/19/2008
San Diego, California
Report by: Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com
Joey Styles welcomed everyone to the show. Ric Flair came to the ring. Tazz met him in the ring and said that he's been in the business for 22 years and from the day that he started, the one name everyone respected was Flair. Tazz congratulated him on being named the first member of the 2008 WWE Hall of Fame.
Flair thanked Tazz and all the fans. He said that being inducted was a huge honor and that it was something wrestlers only dream of. He said that being the first active wrestler inducted may be the biggest honor of his career. Flair said that his induction was a symbol that he was getting ready to retire, because he would be forced to retire is he loses, but said it's not to happen.
Flair began to talk about how WWE was the greatest company in the world, Elijah Burke came to the ring and said he had three words for Flair. Burke said that he was a fan of Flair growing up and wanted to be the first to welcome Flair to "his house, ECW." Burke said he was hand-picked by Vince McMahon to lead the New Breed of ECW.
Shelton Benjamin's music hit and he came to the ring. He then said he had three words for Flair. He said that he had the same idea that Elijah did. Benjamin said that Flair was the gold standard for wrestling and introduced himself as the new gold standard of professional wrestling. He said that Flair's time was over.
Flair said he was struggling with their level of sincerity, and said that if they wanted to talk about gold, he wanted to remind them that no matter what they have accomplished or will accomplish, it will never mean more than the 16 World titles held by Flair. He's shooting! They attacked Flair and CM Punk made the save.
They aired a great No Way Out PPV recap video package.
Backstage, Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin were hot over CM Punk getting involved. Armando came up to them and said that they were both nuts for going after Flair, but thanked them for trying to get revenge for Terry Funk after all these years. OK, he really told them they were wrestling Flair and Punk later tonight.
Kofi Kingston vs. Jason Riggs
Kofi controlled the match early. Riggs cut off the momentum and cinched in a rear chinlock. Kofi fought his way out of it. Kofi tipped up and nailed a jawbreaker. Kofi cleaned house with his unique kicks and punches. Kofi followed up with a Russian Legsweep, his boo boo boo legdrop and the Jamaican Buzzsaw kick for the pin. Kingston is really unique.
Winners: Kofi Kingston
Joey Styles interviewed Kofi Kingston. Kingston said ECW was like paradise for him and if there's ever trouble in paradise, Kofi will take care of it.
They aired a video feature on the great Hornswoggle angle last night. They announced he may have bleeding on the brain.
The Miz vs. Colin Delaney
Tommy Dreamer and John Morrison were in the corners. Miz killed Colin early. He kept killing him. Dreamer rallied the crowd. Delaney actually nailed a few shots, but Morrison interfered. The referee tossed Morrison out of ringside. Delaney rolled up Miz, who kicked up. Miz cut him off with a clothesline and nailed the Reality Check for the pin.
Winners: The Miz
Miz kept working over Delaney so Dreamer attacked him. Morrison attacked Dreamer and nailed his corkscrew neckbreaker. They laid out poor Delaney. Delaney actually had a bloody lip as they went to commercial.
They aired clips of Beth Phoenix vs. Maria last night.
They asked Kelly Kelly about Maria's Playboy shoot. She said Maria always wanted to do Playboy and that's something Kelly has always wanted to do as well. They announced there would be footage of Maria's photo shoot on RAW.
Stevie Richards vs. James Curtis
Before the match, they aired clips of the great Stevie interview from two weeks back. Richards nailed a drop toehold on Curtis, then nailed a kick to the chest. Curtis came back with a clothesline and went after Richards' throat. Curtis applied a side chinlock. Stevie came back with a neckbreaker, the hit a running clothesline in the corner. Stevie drilled him with the Stevie-T for the pin.
Winners: Stevie Richards
They showed the RAW Rebound and the events from last night.
They show Flair and CM Punk walking the halls in the back exchanging "Woos" as they went to commercial.
Ric Flair & CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke & Shelton Benjamin
Joey Styles noted that because it was a tag team match, Flair's career was not on the line.
Punk started with Burke. Punk controlled him early and tagged in Flair. Flair worked over Burke with chops in the corner and covered Burke for a near fall. Burke nailed him with a thumb to the eye. He went to the top, but Flair, remembering all the times this strategy failed for him, caught and slammed Elijah off the top.
When they returned from commercial break, Benjamin was working over Flair. Flair finally made the hot tag to Punk. He cleaned house on Benjamin and hit the running knee into the corner but was shoved off when he attempted a bulldog out of it. Burke tagged in and peppered Punk with punches, then nailed a suplex for a two count.
Burke and Benjamin worked over Punk. Benjamin went for a running Powerbomb into the corner and something went wrong because Punk just fell over the ropes and to the floor. Punk returned to the ring and they tried again, but this time Punk escaped as planned and kicked Benjamin in the mush.
Punk tagged Flair, who unloaded with chops on Burke. Punk hit the Cactus clothesline on Benjamin. Burke missed the Elijah Express and was caught with the Figure Four Leg Lock to pick up the win for Flair & Punk.
Winners: CM Punk and Ric Flair
