ECW Results

I must say, not a bad ECW tonight. The two tag teams of RVD/Punk and Burke/Cor Von were nothing short of brilliant and I'd even go as far to say that the ECW tag division, if these teams are kept intact, rivals that of RAW or SMACKDOWN.

Dreamer put up a decent fight but it was still disheartening to see one of my favorite Legends being squashed by Snitsky. I'm tired of seeing Snitsky run through people as though he were talented. Does everyone remember that just a few months ago, he was teaming with Goldust on Heat? After the departure of Goldust, he was..."promoted"...to a jobber on RAW. And now he's ripping through ECW originals and priming himself for a title feud with Bobby Lashley? I just don't see it.

Next was the Kevin Thorn match. I know they're doing this whole post-Ariel angle, but isn't he a little bit too untalented to be winning squash matches? Even if the man can wrestle, and I'm not really sure if he can, squashes should be reserved for the huge and menacing, not just those receiving a push.

I actually enjoyed the Matt Striker match. I thought that Striker and whichever Major brother it was put on a really good match. They seemed to match up well and each used a move that I haven't seen in some time. I doubt they'll turn this into a feud, but it's still nice to know that the ECW execs are capable of solid mid-card programming. It says good things about this year's One Night Stand.

The main event was more or less a singles match between Elijah Burke and RVD. Not that I'm complaining...both were awesome and it makes me even more upset that RVD is leaving. If Burke was willing to do some work under extreme rules (and I don't see why he wouldn't), these two could have an amazing feud reminiscent of old ECW. Unfortunately, the match ended in a DQ for Cor Von not being the legal man. For all the trouble Burke gave Striker earlier regarding winning his match, Elijah didn't seem to be upset at all over the New Breed's loss. If you consider Striker a New Breed member but not Thorn, the stable still went 1-1 on the night, with the loss being a major moral victory.
