Extreme Championship Wrestling Live from Fayetteville, NC! 3/25/08-- Results
ECW on Sci-Fi opens this week with a small recap of the Main Event from last week. All four men just brawling it out with each other and CM Punk/Helms brawling and Dreamer/Benjamin slugging it out. Then, the ECW opening plays as we go live in North Carolina! Crowd is pretty packed and you couldn't ask for more. Joey Styles & Tazz welcome us to the last ECW before Wrestlemania, which is only 5 days away! Tonight, the ECW General Manager has made a special 5 men over the top rope challenge. The winner will have the guaranteed last spot in the 10 man over the top battle royal for the new ECW Television championship! Also, CM Punk will square off with Shelton Benjamin in tonight's main event! And much more!
Kofi Kingston makes his way down to the ring with Kelly Kelly on his arm. He didn't look pleased, but the crowd still cheered him. This was probably his biggest hand since coming to ECW. He grabbed a microphone and said that he isn't very happy. He wants a piece of Jamie Noble and he doesn't want to wait the 5 days. Noble tried to disfigure Kingston's face last week, by slamming it into the concrete. Kofi said that he never wanted to be enemies with Noble and he used to respect Noble, but not any more. He noted that at Wrestlemania, Noble will be another victim to the Jamaican Buzzsaw. Noble makes his way out to the ring and he gets right into Kofi's face. He told Kofi that he is doing what is necessary in the business. He wants to go to the top and Kofi is in his way. Kofi punches Noble in the face and the two start brawling around the ring. Referees come pouring from the back to stop these two from fighting. ECW takes a short break.
2 Cold Scorpio v. Matt Striker Striker demanded this match from Armando Estrada. After 2 Cold insulted him last week, Striker knocked him in the back of the head with his microphone and he wants to finish the job this week. Scorpio got another nice hand from the crowd and he looks to be in pretty good wrestling shape. Striker was booed when he made his way out, nothing new here. These two really never locked up and just started trading punches from the start. Scorpio walked away with the advantage and gave Striker a dropkick. Scorpio was reeling now. He worked over the upperbody of Striker, most likely setting him up for one of his big aerial moves. Striker used a low tactic and poked him in the eye. The ref warned Striker and Striker pretty much ignored him. Scorpio did fight back with some punches then a double underhook suplex. Finally, he climbed to the top and nailed the Tumbleweed! That corkscrew legdrop, but Styles called it the Tumbleweed. Scorpio got the easy win and posed for the crowd. Winner: 2 Cold Scorpio
A hype video for 'The Real Double J' Jayden Jeter aired. It said that he is coming to ECW to show everyone who the REAL Double J is, and not some hick. Crowd seemed to enjoy it.
A recap video of the 2008 Hall of Fame Class aired.
5 Man Over the Top Challenge- Kane v. Elijah Burke v. Colin Delaney v. Chris Harris v. Kevin Thorn Match lasted no more than 5 minutes. Pretty much everyone picking on Colin Delaney and he was first one thrown over. Kane got the biggest hand out of everyone and Burke got the most heat. After Delaney was gone, Harris & Burke brawled for a bit, while Kane & Thorn went at it again. Kane tossed Thorn over with ease and he looks like a new man since coming to ECW. Burke & Harris stopped to see Kane toss Thorn over and they got a plan. They started to double team Kane and Kane started to get worn down. Then, Burke & Harris threw Kane over and it was down to just them. These two battled for about two minutes and Burke just missed the Express. That allowed Harris to nail a superkick and throw Burke over the top. Harris gets the 10 spot in the battle royal. Winner: Chris Harris
Wrestlemania hype aired! Its only 5 days away! Joey Styles & Tazz recap the ECW portion of the card. And this Card is REALLY full!
A WWE 24/7 Promo aired.
Main Event- CM Punk v. Shelton Benjamin This match got about 10 minutes and it was the perfect amount of time. These two really click in the ring and I think management see that. Benjamin came out first to some boos and it was understandable, he is a heel. No sign of Helms yet tonight. Punk came out and the place exploded. CM is extremely over and the crowd loves this guy. Benjamin looked wonderful tonight, maybe because he was working with a guy similar to him. He really had control most of the match and Punk had nowhere to run. Benjamin was running around the ring hitting some impressive moves including Stinger Splash, Samoan Drop, and a Flatliner. Punk didn't get completely trash thought, he nailed that springboard clothesline for a close two and almost got the win after a double underhook backbreaker. Benjamin quickly fired back and the crowd was on its heels. He nailed a T-Bone, but Punk kicked out and Benjamin had new thoughts. He set Punk on the top rope and hit a jumping reverse STO. He went for the cover, but Punk still kicked out. He couldn't believe it. He climbed the turnbuckle this time and went for a 450 splash, but missed badly and that allowed Punk to lift him up and nail a GTS. Punk gets the win! Winner: CM Punk
Afterward, Gregory Helms came running out and got right into Punk's face. These two stared each other down and Punk pointed to the Wrestlemania sign on the rafters. He then held up his belt and ECW ended with these two in that intense face off.

ECW was really good this week, and the ECW portion of the card looks real good. Some well written matches, I liked that Scorpio beat Striker. I'm pumped for Jayden Jeter lol Chris Harris winning the battle royal surprised me. CM Punk/Shelton sounded good. Wrestlemania is looking great! Can't wait to read!

ECW was a good read, and continued to build towards WrestleMania, which is really looking like a great card. Good to see Scorpio and Punk getting wins, and I liked Harris winning the battle royal, hopefully he does well at Mania.

Friday Night Smackdown Live from Fayetteville, NC! 3/28/08-- ResultsSmackdown openings with an in-depth video from last week's attack on the Undertaker from the Edge Alliance. First off, it shows Undertaker beating down on 3 members of the Edge Alliance and winning the 3-on-1 handicap match. But after that, the screen goes red and it shows Edge & his Alliance brutal attack on the Deadman. It really highlights the conchairto and the blood on Takers face. It ends the same way Smackdown ended last week, with the Edge Alliance standing over Undertaker. The Smackdown opening now airs and we go to the crowd. Not a bad house and pretty full. Michael Cole & the Coach welcome us to the final WWE wrestling program before Wrestlemania 24! Its only 2 short days away and it is live from the Citrus Bowl! But, for tonight, the main event will feature Rey Mysterio facing MVP, as both these men will participate in the Money in the Bank ladder match. Also, Ric Flair & Batista will each pick each others opponents going into Wrestlemania, as tonight they get to Pick Each Other's Poison. And, apparently, the Undertaker is in the building and is looking for Edge. Sid makes his way out to the ring to a huge pop from the crowd tonight. He looks like he is out here with an agenda tonight and he means business. He takes the microphone and the painful promo begins. He tells The Great Khali that he stands no chance against the new and improved Sid at Wrestlemania. Sid said he is going to demonstrate what he has to offer...RIGHT NOW! Sid v. Dave TaylorHooray for the Dave Taylor appearance. His first in quite some time. Sid just basically throws him around for a bit, to the crowd pleasure, and finally hits a powerbomb. Sid doesn't stop there. He then gives him a dominator type move, and then pins Taylor with more than ease.Winner: Sid He rolls Taylor outside the ring and tells Khali he will suffer the same exact fate at Wrestlemania. He leaves the ring as the crowd gives him a decent pop. A Wrestlemania promo aired! Its only 2 days away! Michael Cole and the Coach ran down the Smackdown part of the card, including Flair/Batista, the Tag Team Championship, the Money in the Bank match, and Edge/Undertaker! Card is stacked up to the maximum! We go to Ric Flair in the back, sitting in his locker room, thinking about who he will choose to face Batista later on tonight. Then, the screen splits and shows Batista talking to Kenny Dykstra, Mark Henry, & Victoria. Looks like Batista has found his poison. We cut to commercial break. A WWE 24/7 promo aired. Ric Flair v. Kenny Dykstra (w/Mark Henry & Victoria)Pretty solid match here. Dykstra proved once again how good he can be in the ring at times. He came out to boos from the crowd, since Flair was already in the ring. Flair got one of the biggest pops in recent history. Its well deserved. These two took it a bit old school and this match was pretty technical. A lock up and Dykstra got the quick advantage and took him to the corner. He went for some chops, but Flair blocked the first one throw and nailed 4 of his own. Dykstra is already thriving in pain and I can imagine. The best chops in the business. Flair then worked over Dykstra's knee, in regular Flair fashion. He tried the Figure Four, but it was no good. Dykstra battled out of it and hit some kind of neckbreaker slam type move. Flair seemed devastated after that and Dykstra worked over his upperbody, getting him soften for the guillotine leg drop. Flair countered quickly though and nailed a chop block that got a roar from the crowd. One atomic drop later and a shin breaker and Flair was rockin'. He locked up the Figure Four and there was nothing for Dykstra to do. He tapped out in the center of the ring and Flair picks up the win going into 'Mania!Winner: Ric Flair A promo video started to air. It had grunge era music playing the background and the whole promo read; "There are only 2 days to go I hope he knows that I will kill him just like he though he did to me. " Screen went black after this segment. Same Wrestlemania Hype aired. John Morrison & The Miz are backstage watching the show from their locker room. Miz asked Morrison if he was ready for the tag turmoil in two days. Morrison said there is no reason why they shouldn't walk out of Wrestlemania champions still. Miz agrees and then he leaves for a moment. Morrison looks at him as he leaves. We'll be right back. Ric Flair came down to the ring and told everyone that its time to see who he picked to face Batista. Batista comes out and gets right into Flair's face. Flair steps outside the ring and says that this man will face Batista. Out comes BIG DADDY V and the crowd just automatically boos. Batista has a tough road to ride on. Batista v. Big Daddy VThis match was just a cluster really. V just pounded on Batista's back with clumbing blows. That lasted for a good portion of the beginning of the match. V then started crushing Batista's back and continued to lock in a long bearhug. Big Daddy V just cannot put on a decent match, but they still push him. Batista battled back to the crowd's delight and he started rocking. A big spinebuster followed by a bunch of clotheslines. V was down on his feet. Batista went to attempt the Batista Bomb, but V gave him a back body drop and then jumped directly on his chest. He then gave him a sidewalk slam, but only got a two count. V then threw Batista into the corner and went for a big splash in the corner. Batista moved out of the way and loaded him up for a terrible looking Batista Bomb. He gets the 3 count over Big Daddy V! Afterward, Flair & Batista stared each other down as we cut to break.Winner: Batista Even more Wrestlemania hype aired! ONLY 2 DAYS FROM THE BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR! A hype video for the Money In The Bank Ladder Match aired. Looks like the main event is coming up now! Main Event- Rey Mysterio v. Montel Vontavious PorterWow! This was a pretty sweet main event here. A nice send off into Wrestlemania 24, with a little preview of what the Money In the Bank will be like. MVP got pretty badly booed when he came out and he used his smug attitude to shrug it off. Rey came out to a very nice hand, his biggest in weeks, and he runs down to the ring. He cannot wait to get this one started. These two put on about an 8 minute match, where MVP dominated most of it. He has the power advantage over the smaller Rey Mysterio, so he just isolated Rey into a corner and pounded on him. He also hit some knee smash that had Rey out cold. MVP continued his assault with a running big boot in the corner and the Ballin' elbow drop. MVP then tried for the Playmaker, but Rey denied it and reversed the momentum his way. The crowd was back in it, after Rey nailed a slingshot crossbody, where he got a two on it. Rey then hit a split-legged moonsault that got a two. He became frustrated, but got to take down MVP and put him on the ropes, all set up for the 619. He went for it, but MVP moved and caught him in a fall away slam. MVP then hit another Ballin' Elbow drop and locked in a crossface of some sorts. Rey had to tap, since we've never seen MVP use this before. MVP celebrates his win over Rey Mysterio, after using a crossface maneuver, as Smackdown comes to a close!Winner: Montel Vontavious Porter

I loved the poison with Batista and Flair, Flair Dykstra sounded great. V and Tista, not so much. Sid better win at Mania dammit! MVP/Mysterio was a hell of a main event, big props for giving MVP the win man.

Ahhh, I think you missed a Taker/Edge segment in there somewhere as you said Taker was looking for Edge and it would've been a huge mistake not to have any on the go home Smackdown and it probably should've closed the show. Anyway nice to see MVP using the crossface or TTB or whatever he called it before his WWE run and him going strong into MITB. Hopefully he wins it being the MVP mark that I am. The show was solid as a whole and Wrestlemania should be great man.

I really cant wait for Wrestlemania, the card is packed and it really does have that Mania feel to it. SmackDown was great, MVP getting a main event win is great and I really hope he wins MITB. I liked the poison matches, and I would like Flair to go over at Mania although I doubt it will actually happen.

(Idea Credit: The Undertaker)Then the graphic and voice over saying that its now time to go live to Wrestlemania, LIVE AT THE CITRUS BOWL! AND WE ARE LIVE! WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA! The crowd is rocking already and the stadium is jammed-packed! A whole plethora of signs fill the building, as WRESTLEMANIA ARRIVES IN ORLANDO! They continue to show the crowd from every camera angle imaginable. The Citrus Bowl is pretty filled and just about sold out. Finally, Jim Ross & Jerry 'The King' Lawler welcome us to the biggest event of the year! They said that the Citrus Bowl is completely sold out, when you can see it isn't. They said that everyone should sit back and enjoy this event, as they send it down to Joey Styles & Tazz. Styles & Tazz are rocking and they said they cannot hear themselves think! What a night it is going to be for ECW and WWE in a whole. But before we begin, lets send it down to the final broadcast position. Michael Cole & The Coach welcome everyone to Wrestlemania! They said that tonight will be one to remember and that everyone should have their drinks now, because we are going to go non-stop! Just after Cole said that, John Morrison & The Miz are the first men out! Looks like its time for some tag team gauntlet action! Howard Finkel, the officially Wrestlemania announcer, announces the rules of the gauntlet match, as one team will come out and they will keep coming out until they are all gone. The last team standing is the victor. WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Deuce & Domino (Team #1)We start off 'Mania with some tag team action! This one is pretty decent, but I am going to expect better. Deuce & Domino got no reaction from the Orlando crowd and Miz/Morrison are booed. Deuce hit a nice swinging neckbreaker as the first big spot of the night. Deuce & Domino actually got a pretty amount of offense in and controlled the match. Crowd got bored quickly and it brought down the match quality. Miz/Morrison seemed a tad off to start, but picked it up fast and thank god they did. Miz went for the Mizard of Oz on Deuce, but it didn't connect and Deuce hit a big sidewalk slam. He looked like he got the 3, but Miz barely kicked out. Eventually, Morrison got into the ring and so did Domino. Domino was on the losing end of a superkick and Morrison got the 3 count. That is one down!Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Miz & Morrison WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Boogeyman & Nunzio (Team #2)Miz & Morrison awaited the next team and to their surprise, it was the unique pairing of Boogeyman & Nunzio. Crowd didn't know what to do and again, it threw off the match quality. Nunzio got his ass beaten down by Morrison and received that weird leg drop Morrison does. Boogey was thrown in and received a gutwrench and a release german suplex. Miz came in and finished off Nunzio, and the match, after a Mizard of Oz.Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Miz & Morrison WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Charlie Haas & Drew McIntyre (Team #3)Another very unique pairing here, but they did give the champs a run for their money. Crowd still doesn't know what to do, as this team is just strange. McIntyre looked just as impressive as he did in his Raw squash matches. McIntyre almost scored the 3, after a belly-to-belly suplex on Miz. Morrison ran in and started beating on him. Haas stopped that with some Germans and threw Morrison over. Haas & McIntyre started to get some cheers, until McIntyre got caught with a Reality Check. Miz picks up the win for his team.Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Miz & Morrison WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Jesse & Festus (Team #4)Finally! The crowd explodes once that theme music plays and Jesse & Festus are ready for their first 'Mania match. Festus went right after Miz and eventually took down both men with a double clothesline. You can see that Miz & Morrison are starting to wear down and J&F are looked to capitalize on that. Jesse & Miz spent a chunk of time battling in the ring and the crowd was definitely behind the southerners. Miz attempted another Reality Check on Jesse, but it was blocked and a Tiger Suplex was connected. It got a two count. Morrison and Festus got tags at the same time and this was a hot tag for Festus. He threw both Miz & Morrison over the top and the crowd cheered him on. Jesse did a suicide dive on the tag champs and threw them back in for Festus. Festus attemped a powerbomb, but Miz poked him in the eye, while Jesse was celebrating with the crowd. Miz then rolled Festus up and got the win! What a steal! Jesse couldn't believe it, but had to leave, according to the ref.Winners AND STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Miz & Morrison WWE Tag Team Championships- John Morrison & The Miz v. Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie (Team #5)HOLY! The crowd went absolutely crazy when that music came on. YES! It was Cactus & Chainsaw! Terry Funk & Mick Foley under their old personas. They ran into the ring, as the crowd roared, and started duking it out with Miz/Morrison. The fresh team got the advantage and they went to work. It wasn't long, as both men were already tired from wrestling 4 matches before. Charlie hit a Texas Piledriver on Miz and got a near fall. Eventually, Morrison fell into a Double Arm DDT from Cactus Jack and its over! We have NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! HOLY! Miz/Morrison leave barely up the ramp, arguing with eachother.Winners AND NEW WWE Tag Team Champions: Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie WWE Tag Team Championships- Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie v. Redneck Wrecking Crew (Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade)(Team #6)When Cade & Murdoch's theme hit, everyone in the arena started to boo. Cactus & Chainsaw looked pumped and ready for the RAW team. They ran down and exchanged blows with the new tag team champions. C&M got the advantage down and started to work over the older team. Cade hit a big knee to the face of Chainsaw and he rolled outside the ring. That left Cactus Jack alone with Murdoch and Cade double teaming him. He received an Inverted Atomic Drop/Clothesline combo and barely kicked out. Chainsaw tried to get back in, but Murdoch gave him a huge elbow when he was on apron, and he hit his face on the barrier. Cade & Murdoch then set up Jack and gave him the High-Low for the win! WE ONCE AGAIN HAVE NEW CHAMPIONS!Winners AND NEW WWE Tag Team Champions: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch WWE Tag Team Championships- Redneck Wrecking Crew (Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade) v. The Edgeheads (Zach Ryder/Curt Hawkins)(Team #7)The new champions looked at their opponents and seemed confused. So did the crowd, more no reaction.

First off, opening was great, as well as the opening. Loved Tag Team Turmoil. I marked for Wang/Moore winning as well as Cactus and Funk coming out. 'Mania moment for sure! Would have liked if Noble beat Kingston. I like Noble, and dislike Kofi, but hella love his song, so your off the hook I guess. Sid beating Khali was meh, but it could be a decent match. Glad Marella beat Smith. Santino will defiantly be celebrating with all the Subway's in Orlando. Loved MITB, and all the huge spots in it. Glad Kennedy won it, and maybe he'll win the big one this year. Glad Phoenix beat Mickie. Stretch that feud out just a little bit longer. BOO! Delaney lost the TV Title match! But at least it wasn't Harris, so once again "your off the hook". Glad Flair beat 'Tister, but I wish Helms would have beaten Punk. Thumbs up for that match, btw. Putting my two favorite guys in the ring, defiantly earned you a +1. Soo Glad Jericho didn't job to Hunter. And really glad Jericho beat the hell out of Hunter. And Wow at the main events. Glad Taker is 16-0, but I could have gone either way with this match, I like both guys(no homo). And Michaels winning and celebrating at the end will make it to some montages. And with Orton smirking at the end, I have a feeling it only gets better from here.
Great Show Duaner.

WrestleMania was a great show, and a really good write up. The tag team gauntlet was really cool, and with three new champions in one match. I liked some of the early unique teams, and it is good to see you used the match to get some of lower card into the Mania action. I marked for Cactus and Chainsaw, and it was awesome to see them get the titles, however short their reign was. Cade & Murdoch as champs was cool, but it is awesome that you gave the gold to Yang & Moore. Kofi/ Noble was a really good match, and it is cool to see Kofi get the win, hopefully you push him as a result. Not really fussed on Sid/ Khali, as it would be a terrible match in real life. Good to see you gave the win to Sid though. Smith/ Santino was much better than I expected, I was actually pulling for Santino here, so it is cool to see him retain. Santino tripping up post match was just like Santino. MITB was superb, best match so far. Nice to see Hardy screwing over MVP, and one hell of a bump at the same time. The T-Bone onto the ladder sounded insane. Kennedy winning is great, as long as he actually gets the title shot this time. Great match, and some really cool bumps. Women's title match doesn't interest me, but at least Phoenix retained. The television title battle royal was a really cool match, and the perfect mid event match as well. Burke winning ;D, keep the title on him! Although I think Flair should have ended his career at Mania I am glad he didn't lost to Batista, as that would have been the worst end to a career ever. Punk/ Helms sounded superb, and would be a great match in real life. I was split on who I wanted to win this, since it is about time Helms got a decent title run that isnt the cruiserweight title. Punk going over is still cool, and I hope that there is a rematch between the two. Jericho over Triple H at Mania , definitly the right decision. The match sounded great, the lionsault through the table sounded incredible, and it was awesome to see Trips tap out. Although his entrance was probably longer than the match I am glad Taker went over. The write up was great, and really captured the electricity of the match. I marked when Edge hit a tombstone, and again when Taker won. Orton/ Michaels was a great way to end WrestleMania, although it didn't have the same feel as Taker/ Edge. Cool to see both men kicking out of each others finishers, and Michaels winning with the sharpshooter at Mania is both great and a little wierd at the same time.
