Cyber Sunday is this Sunday. I’m sure we will hear all
about the matches involving ECW roster members in this hour-long show.
ECW is being broadcast from Kansas City, MO, on the Sci-Fi
Channel.
Ring announcers: Joey Styles and Tazz
Ring announcer: Tony Chimel
The Miz along with Extreme Expose enters the arena. The Miz
is here to tell us why we are supposed to vote for him on Cyber Sunday to go
against CM Punk for the title belt. Miz insults Big Daddy V’s looks. Miz
insults John Morrison by calling him a fruitcake. Miz then tells everyone they
will vote for him because he is the chick magnet. I have not found one female
wrestling fan that thinks Miz is worth looking at. Period. Miz then proceeds to pester Kelly Kelly regarding her
date with Balls Mahoney. He threatens to fire her and then threatens to make her
life miserable instead. Saved by the Morrison, John Morrison, who comes to the
ring to interrupt Miz. Morrison then proceeds to tell everyone why he or she
should vote for Morrison to face Punk. Morrison then decides to hit on Kelly.
Kelly does what a lot of us would like to do – she slapped the smile
off Morrison’s face. She should have used her fist versus a flat hand. Balls
Mahoney makes his way to the ring to go after Morrison but is double-teamed by
Morrison and Miz. Mahoney goes out onto the floor courtesy of Morrison and Miz
and then Miz goes out to the floor courtesy of Morrison. As Morrison waltzes
around the ring, CM Punk comes in and lays him out and then Morrison meets the
floor courtesy of Punk. The audience chants “CM Punk”! as Morrison glares at
Punk.
Are we going to have any actual matches this evening?
We then see that next up is Kane versus Big Daddy V.
We see a promo for Cyber Sunday and then we go to commercial
break.
Back from commercial break, we see a promo for the new
Undertaker video.
Morrison and Miz meet backstage and Miz wants to about the
cheap shot Morrison took by sending Miz to the floor. Morrison says it was to
make up for the cheap shot Miz took at Morrison last week.
It becomes a scream fest with no one making any sense and Armando Estrada
shows up to break it up. Estrada tells the two of them better learn to get along
because tonight we are going to have a tag team match.
It will be Balls Mahoney and the ECW Champion CM Punk versus John
Morrison and The Miz. Estrada wanders off and the two men go back to arguing
with each other.
Big Daddy V, weighing 487 lbs., from Harlem, NY
accompanied to the ring by Matt Striker
Vs.
The Big Red Machine Kane, weighing 323 lbs.
Audience favorite: Kane
My favorite: Kane
Winner: We don’t know because Mark Henry, from
Smackdown, enters the ring and the referee rings the bell. I don’t even want to guess how much over a thousand
pounds is in that ring now. And then The Great Khali shows up. I guess WWE wants us to know how strong their ring
really is.
We have close to a thousand pounds in this ring with the
original two opponents. Kane isn’t often outweighed. I can’t imagine that
Kane will be able to pin V, but Kane does a good job in the ring for someone his
size. He also has the ability to climb and dive into or outside of the ring.
Kane manages to clear the ring but he’s holding his left arm close to his
body. Let’s hope Kane didn’t
get hurt dealing with all of these guys in the ring.
Commercial break in the middle of the match! You
would think ECW would be smart enough to cut the chitchat in order to have the
entire match aired. I’m not fond of finding out what happened in the match
while we were away after we come back from commercial break.
Back from commercial break.
We are reminded about the upcoming tag team match and then we
see the WWE Diva Search promo.
Commercial break.
Back from commercial break, we hear about the match or
whatever that was with Kane, V, Khali and Henry. We then see the Smackdown
Rebound involving The Undertaker and Batista and their battle for the
Championship title and the match against Batista and Undertaker at Cyber Sunday.
Choice for referee in the match is JBL, Mick Foley and Steve Austin. We then get
a run down of the rest of the Cyber Sunday matches and the choices for each
match, including CM Punk versus the fans choice of John Morrison, The Miz or Big
Daddy V.
Again, we only have an hour here…where’s the
wrestling action?
Punk and Mahoney are backstage. Mahoney is grateful that Punk
came out to the ring earlier when he was in trouble. Punk says tonight they
should have no problem because Morrison and Miz won’t be able to get along and
Punk says that Mahoney and him will get along just long. Punk asks how the date
with Kelly went the other night. Mahoney just laughs and Punk says “that is
disturbing” and Mahoney says “that’s what she said too” and we go to
Commercial break.
Back from commercial break.
Elijah Burke, weighing 231 lbs., from Jacksonville, FL
Vs.
Nunzio, weighing 170 lbs.
Audience favorite: I’m not sure
My favorite: I’m not sure but I think Burke will win the
match.
Winner: Elijah Burke with a pin and a three count.
This is a grudge match from last week when Burke left Nunzio
in the ring with Jesse and Festus. Nunzio needs to find a opponent closer to
his size and weight. He has spent all of his matches in ECW getting the
daylights beat out of him. Nunzio did give Burke a run for his money in this
match.
The Great Khali is backstage with his translator. It
sounds like he may be out to get Kane, but I’m not sure since no one was
speaking English.
We again see the promo for the Undertaker versus Batista
match and that the fans get to decide the guest referee.
Commercial break.
Back from commercial break, Matt Striker is backstage with
Big Daddy V. V says that at the
Monster’s Mash Battle Royal, he will be the dominant force.
John Morrison, weighing 220 lbs., from Los Angeles, CA
&
The Miz, weighing 231 lbs., from Cleveland, OH
Vs.
Balls Mahoney, weighing 310 lbs., from Nutley, NJ
&
CM Punk, weighing 225 lbs., from Chicago, IL
Current ECW Champion
Audience favorites: Mahoney & Punk
My favorites: Mahoney & Punk
Winners: Punk and Mahoney after Punk uses the GTS on
Morrison and gets the three count.
Mahoney just screams extreme – I’m not talking about
his choice of ring attire -- and Punk is right behind him.
Morrison does a great job of wrestling in the ring, however, Miz is a
little out of his league in this match. He does outweigh Punk, but he doesn’t
have the same in ring abilities as Punk. Punk and Morrison are fairly even in
size but I think Punk can take Morrison out in the ring.
Morrison has some highflying moves but he can’t compare to Punk.
I do know that I would prefer to see Morrison in a match against Punk.
My second choice would be Miz and my absolute last choice would be V. Miz
manages to clothesline Morrison, Mahoney takes Miz out of the ring and my
favorites win the match. Smart move Miz. Mahoney
and Punk do a great job as a tag team. I
wonder why they haven’t been paired before?
We see a promo for the ECW Monster Mash Battle Royal, which
will be Kane, The Great Khali, Mark Henry and Big Daddy V.
