ECW is home this week too bad its not the same...

Yes Im watching ECW so others dont have to if they dont want to. Here is the hometown of ECWs past, Philidelphia. There is a trashy looking dude with a mustache sitting ringside wearing a cowboy hate and a black tank top. Oh you guys in Philly know how to look your Tuesday best. I think the reason Mike Adamle got hired is because he is the keeper of Vince Mcmahons old hair. Ok here goes hopefully this show is decent..

Tony Atlas, Mark Henry and Teddy Long open the show to show off the new ECW title which is all silver. I guess you need a silver belt for our favorite silverback. Then they continue to brag about the easy win over Tommy Dreamer with the help of Colin Delaney at the Bash. They then introduce Colin Delaney who comes out to claim hes on board with Mark Henry and Tony Atlas. He says he wants to carry their bags such a nice young man. Then "holla" Long tells him that he will have a match with Tommy Dreamer RIGHT NOW!!! OH heavens this is soooo ECW umm no.

Tommy Dreamer vs. Colin Delaney - Typical Delaney match and the only thing the origional ECW fans get tonight is seeing Tommy Dreamer win. Which hasnt happend since the Clinton administration... ya know when ECW was still in business.

The guy from MTVs Real World and John Morrison talk about the fatal four way match tonight for the number one contenders spot against Finlay and Matt Hardy. They claim that if they have to theyll take each other out and may the best man win. Real World boys new mowhawk with a bandana makes him look like an even bigger jar of cow jizz than he already is (how is that possible?)

Evan Bourne vs. James Curtis - Curtis was actually getting in too much offense.. he must be part of the new talent influx without officially being in it. Well I guess I cant say that since this guys been jobbing to guys like Shelton Benjamin and Mike Knox. This match was actually pretty good for what it was and anytime you can see Bourne do his perfect shooting star press its fun. Bourne wins while Chavo is on commentary... he then gets pummelled or an attempted pummell by Chavo and Bam Neeley. Bourne runs off though.. I wouldnt expect to see this match make a PPV anytime soon. Hey this is what ECW is ALL ABOUT!!! E-C-DUB E-C-DUB!!! Those poor Philly fans...

Now a segment with Ricky Ortiz talking to Tiffany that gets interupted by Teddy Long and Ortiz is talking about his marketing strategy... part of which is completely ripping off the LAX hand signal. I have a feeling im gonna hate Ortiz in the long run.. call it a hunch but this guys hair is probably why Carlito switched to cornrows.. cant have two spainards with afros or some shit.

Now a Matt Hardy promo hyping up the main event... two promos in a row? Oh well Hardy does a decent job and Im guessing he has to win this match.

Fatal Four Way: Matt Hardy vs. Finlay vs. John Morrison vs. That guy from MTVs Real World - This match was all over the place with near falls every two seconds. At one point Finlay covers Hardy.. only gets two.. then right over to Real World guy where he also only gets two. Then he decides to go after Morrison. Long story short Morrison goes for an enziguri to Hardy and misses hitting the guy from MTVs Real World.. then Hardy gets the twist of fate for the win. So your number one contender for the E-C-Dub silver belt is Matt Hardy. I think everyone saw that coming. The Silver back then hits the ramp in search of bananas with Tony Atlas at his side. He then holds his belt up looking at Matt Hardy. End of show.

Its not the real ECW and I feel bad for all those trash bags in Philly who are stuck with this. But honestly this was a good ECW show... decent matches for the most part that either progressed story or looked good. THe main event was great and all over the place. Tonights grade for a WWEs ECW show: B
