ECW Reaction / CM Punk Moving?

ECW had a solid show tonight, but I have a bone to pick with the crowd.

They chanted "BORING BORING" during a good tag team match between the Major Brothers (a great looking team) and Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von. I'm not sure what they wanted to see...Extreme Expose got a better pop than these guys.

Secondly, the match between Punk and Striker, a great match, had no fan participation at all. CM Punk was yelling at the crowd and trying to get them into it. Near the end of the match he even yelled out "GTS!" but nobody even seemed to know what he meant. It's like they followed his command and actually went to sleep.

Some people in the crowd were actually booing CM Punk. This makes no sense to me, especially after seeing Bobby Lashley get such a huge pop for dominating three fantastic entertainers in the Sandman, Dreamer, and Balls. Lashley would be lucky if he could one day be as entertaining as these guys.

The biggest conclusion that I can draw from tonight's ECW: CM Punk will be moving in the WWE Draft. He is the best up-and-coming star that WWE has and they know it. The fact that he main-evented the show with Matt Striker sure made it seem like it was his last match with the brand. Look for him to be moved to Smackdown.

Thanks for dealing with my rants about the fans!

Loved the tag match. Major Brothers look way more polished than Cade and Murdoch or whatever the hell is going on in SMACKDOWN's current tag division. Burke and Cor Von complimented the brothers with some awesome athletic moves.

GTS is Go To Sleep (Punk's newer finisher), for those of you unsure. If I were in the audience, I probably wouldn't be that into it either...I'd be holding out for the Anaconda Vice.

Nice predictions Drewster -- right on Lashley, right on the Cor Von/Burke team -- my UFC predictions could use your accuracy.
