    ECW champion John Morrison made his way to the ring. Morrison began praising himself and speaking in phrases similar to Jim Morrison. You'll either like it or think it's corny. I'm unsold but his delivery is good so far. Morrison said that if his opponent can beat him, he'll get a future ECW title shot. He began ripping on Arizona's athletes, then claimed he found the greatest athlete in Arizona (WSX's Joey Ryan). Morrison asked him if he was ready to be famous, then kneed him low as the referee called for the bell. He hit a corkscrew neckbreaker and scored the pin. Morrison asked if anyone else wanted a shot and no one answered. He said no one else was worthy of being in the ring with him. Tommy Dreamer's music hit and he came to the ring with a mic. He said that he's been around a lot longer than 15 minutes in this industry. He says that there's nothing he wants more than to be ECW World champion again. He says, "Is there someone in this building that can beat you? Yes, there is. Me."

    Elijah Burke came out. He said that when it comes to ECW, Dreamer is prehistoric. Burke said, "15 minutes?" He told Dreamer he was 15 years past his time. Burke said Morrison needs someone young and athletic and that person is him. CM Punk's music hit and he walked to the ring smirking. Punk said that last week, Morrison claimed he was done with Punk and was going "onward and upward." Punk said if he's so confident, let's go one more time and if he can't beat him or last 15 minutes, Punk will never challenge him again. Morrison said he had already had a "grueling match" so he wouldn't defend his title tonight. He then suggested they have a Triple Threat match and the winner would face him next week. He said that if they can last or beat him next week, they'll then earn a future ECW title match. So, it's Dreamer vs. Punk vs. Burke later.

    Stevie Richards vs. Kevin Thorn: They showed clips of Richards' upset win over Thorn last week. Thorn charged Stevie into a turnbuckle, then picked him up and drilled him into another. He began mauling Richards. Richards came back with several roundhouse kick to the legs, then a dropkick. Thorn caught him and powered him down. Thorn dropped down with an over the shoulder backbreaker. He locked on a rear chinlock. Thorn locked Richards in a Torture Rack, then dropped down with Shock Treatment. Richards gets his shoulder up at the last second, upsetting Thorn. He draped Richards over the top turnbuckle, measured, and kicked him in the back. He tries to do it again, but Richards moved. Thorn hit the ringpost shoulder-first and was rolled up for the pin. Stevie wins! Stevie wins! Stevie wins!

    Big Daddy V vs. Jeff Michael, Brandon Gatsen and John Ostroff - Handicap Match: V destroyed all three in entertaining fashion. It was a great old school monster heel squash. It ended up V clotheslining one, slamming the second atop of the first wrestler, hitting a sideslam on the third and pinning the pile of bodies. Simply glorious. The Boogeyman's music began and he made his way to the ring. He came to the ring and began eating worms as Matt Striker pulled V to the back.

    The Miz vs. Balls Mahoney: Extreme Expose sat at ringside. Joey and Tazz talked about Miz being aggressive. Mahoney hit the Nutcracker Suite but Miz got his leg on the rope. Miz hit a kneelift then a neckbreaker, scoring the clean pin. Miz left with all the women.

    Tommy Dreamer vs. CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke: We joined the match on progress. Punk tried to roll up Dreamer, who kicked up. As Punk hit the rope, Elijah Burke held the ropes down. Dreamer grabbed Burke and drilled him into the turnbuckles. Punk returned with a senton splash. Burke cinched in a rear chinlock on Punk. Burke backdropped Punk over the top to the floor, with Punk taking a nasty looking spill. If he wasn't hurt, he's lucky. Burke clotheslined Dreamer, sweeping his leg at the same time for a two count. Burke whips Dreamer into the corner. Burke did a handstand on the top rope, then drilled Dreamer with an elbow. Punk grabbed him and tossed Burke into the ring steps. Punk got a two count with a sunset flip into the ring. Punk tossed him to the floor. Punk hit a tope suicida to the floor on Dreamer and Burke. Punk drilled Burke with a series of kicks to the face. Dreamer DDT'd Punk. Burke broke up the pinfall with an elbow to the head. Burke was bleeding pretty bad from the lip. Burke began unloading stiff shots on Dreamer and Punk. Dreamer grabbed Burke and cinched in a Texas Cloverleaf. Punk kicked Dreamer in the head and tried to pin Burke, who kicked up. Punk hit a butterfly suplex into an over the knee backbreaker, scoring another near fall. Punk put Burke on the top and they exchanged shots with Burke getting the best of it. Dreamer superplexed Burke as Punk slid under and powerbombed Dreamer. Punk covered Dreamer who kicked up at two. Punk hit his kneelift in the corner on Burke and went for the bulldog, but was shoved off. He and Dreamer butted heads. Punk finally hit the GTS on Burke for the pin. A really entertaining main event. This was probably the best Burke has looked yet. Punk goes on next week to face John Morrison in a non-title "15 Minutes of Fame" challenge. Dreamer raised Punk's arm to close the show

Big Daddy V comes up behind Boogeyman, gets him in the corner and hits him with several chops then runs into him and jumps on the fallen boogeyman. Big Daddy V then hits three elbows to the head.

    Air Date: 8/14/07 - Mohegan Sun Arena - Uncasville, Conn.

    Coach is standing in the ring with a table and two fancy leather chairs in front of him. He is out by order of Vince McMahon. First order of business: naming a new GM of ECW. And the winner is... Armando Alejandro Estrada! Estrada comes out to a mixed reaction. And his first order of business? An official contract signing for the ECW title match at SummerSlam.

    Morrison comes out first. His hair is dry this week. Punk comes out next to a pretty big pop. Morrison signs, tosses the contract at Punk, and tries to psyche him out of signing, saying he couldn't even last fifteen minutes in the ring last week, but Punk reminds him that it's only because Punk beat him. The two exchange words, Punk makes some admittedly funny jokes about how Morrison looks like a girl, and before it escalates into much more, Estrada interjects and will let the two take out their aggression in the ring tonight. Morrison finds out he's taking on Boogey, and Punk, whose match is right after commercial break, is against none other than Big Daddy V. A collective groan was heard in the crowd at this announcement.

    CM Punk vs. Big Daddy V w/ Matt Striker: V stares down Punk like a delicious pork chop to start out. They go for a collar and elbow tie-up, but V overpowers Punk. He backs Punk into the corner and begins to chop and stomp him down. Punk ducks out and tries to hit the high knee/bulldog, but V just catches him and powerbombs him. V decimates Punk a little more with a gorilla press slam, a frightening spinning wheel kick, and a running elbow, sending Punk flying to the outside. The ref counts to ten and Bid Daddy V defeats CM Punk via countout.

    A video package highlighting how scary the Boogeyman is. Isn't this guy supposed to be a face?

    Estrada is backstage with Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer wants a title shot even though he hasn't won a match on TV since 2003. Estrada says he has to prove himself. If he can't get to the ring in sixty seconds, he forfeits his shot. He makes it to the ring, running past many distractions (Little Guido, Stevie Richards, Miz and the girls, and Coach) and makes it in with fifteen seconds to spare. He laughs and smiles until he turns around and sees Bid Daddy V still in the ring. Guess they took my advice.

    Bid Daddy V vs. Tommy Dreamer: Dreamer stiffs V in the face with some rights and lefts, but V goes back on the attack with a Black Hole Slam, stiff chops, yadda yadda, elbow drop, three count.

    Kelly Kelly is backstage staring longingly in the mirror when Balls Mahoney comes up brushing his hair. He asks her out to dinner, but Miz shows up with Layla and Brooke in his arms. He makes fun of Balls for having a crush on Kelly and says that girls are only attracted to guys like Miz. You know, chick magnets. The Miz came off as really obnoxious here, and not just in character.

    Kevin Thorn vs. Stevie Richards: Richards shows some intensity and beats down on Thorn, but Thorn nails a short-arm clothesline to keep him grounded. Thorn continues a beatdown, fighting off any offense Richards tries to muster. Standard offense for a few minutes on Thorn's part. He screams, "How dare you beat me!" at Richards and hits a rather stiff clothesline for a near fall. Stevie finally gains an advantage, hits a chest breaker for two, and a sunset flip for another two. Thorn catches Stevie, however, and nails a sick-looking spinebuster to put him down for good. Thorn finally extracts some amount of vengeance. Post-match, Thorn beats the crap out of Richards. As such, the ref reverses the decision. Stevie Richards is officially your winner instead. Thorn looks sad and mopes in the corner like the "dark" kid in your high school creative writing class who thinks he's edgy because he listens to Nine Inch Nails.

    Elijah Burke is backstage talking to Coach about his history as a child, possibly digging for answers about Vince's love child. Short, but funny segment.

    A highlight package is shown of Punk vs. Morrison from last week.

    John Morrison vs. The Boogeyman: Bogey uses a fireman's carry takedown and goes on the attack, overpowering Morrison completely, using slams and punches and a big splash. Morrison tries to climb to the top, but Morrison hits the Pele kick, sending Boogey to the outside. Morrison works over Boogey with some rest holds. A "Boogeyman" chant is audible. Boogey manages to fight back and nails some clotheslines. It's to no avail as Morrison quickly regains control and goes for the Corkscrew Moonsault, but overshoots it. Boogey goes back on the attack and hits two powerslams. Morrison gets frustrated and beats the crap out of Boogey. The ref tries to break it up, but Morrison shoves the ref. The ref isn't having it and calls for the bell. Boogey has defeated the ECW World Champion.

    They opened the show with garbage and various weaponry in the ring. ECW GM Armando Estrada was in the ring to explain what was going on. He said he made an Impact last week, and now he's booking an opening match of Big Daddy V vs. Tommy Dreamer in an Extreme Rules match.

    Big Daddy V vs. Tommy Dreamer -- Extreme Rules match: Dreamer tried to attack Viscera after the bell sounded, but Viscera cut him off and picked up some weaponry to use. He then rammed Dreamer shoulder-first into a shopping cart before missing with a running splash against the cart. Dreamer quickly went under the ring and picked up a table to slide into the ring, but Viscera cut him off. Dreamer tried to fire back with trashcan shots in the ring, but Viscera no-sold and landed a Samoan Drop through the table. He then sat down on Dreamer for the pin and the win. WINNER: Big Daddy V in 4:00

    They aired the straight edge video package on C.M. Punk.

    Backstage, Vince asked Coach if his bastard son could be on the ECW roster. Coach said his investigations into New York City in the 1970s revealed a bathroom encounter. Coach then brought on the potential son, Balls Mahoney. Balls asked Vince how he's doing. Vince sternly told Coach to get "this thing" away from him. Balls said Vince could have balls as his son. Vince said he doesn't have balls. Balls said Vince needs to embrace it. "I have no balls!" Vince shouted. Balls smirked and giggled before leaving. Coach reassured Vince that he has great grapefruits. Vince told him to shut up.

    Elijah Burke vs. Balls Mahoney: Balls and Burke locked up as Styles and Tazz talked about Kelly Kelly showing slight interest in Balls the last two weeks. Burke took control after yanking Balls's hair before kicking him in the gut. Balls then ducked a clothesline and landed Balls punches before Burke cut him off with a clothesline. He then rammed Balls into the ringpost before landing the high-elevated swinging elbow smash in the corner. That move needs a name. Burke then sat down on a shoulder wrench as the crowd rallied behind Balls. Burke landed a scoop slam and sold tremendous back pain after turning Balls over. Burke and Balls then exchanged missed elbow smashes. Suddenly, Balls went for a roll up, but he scored a two count only. The crowd then broke into a dueling chant of "Game" and "Cocks" since they're at USC. Balls fired up with Balls punches that wobbled Burke's knees before landing a spinebuster for a nearfall. Balls then avoided a corner splash and rolled up Burke from behind for the quick win. WINNER: Balls in 8:00.

    Balls Mahoney walked backstage and found Extreme Expose with Miz. Kelly smiled while Brooke and Leyla sneered at him. Miz then asked Kelly to answer a question about Balls, but Miz cut him off. Miz suddenly had somewhere else to go. He left with Brooke and Leyla, but Kelly stuck around to smile and say hi to Balls. It was a good night for the Beauty and the Balls.

    They aired a video package on Stevie Richards beating Kevin Thorn by reverse decision last week. Styles then interviewed Kevin Thorn, who stood by backstage. Thorn started a promo about death and shadows before Richards jumped him. They started to brawl before referees separated them.

    Styles and Tazz broke down the Summerslam card.

    Backstage, Vince told Coach that he can't seem to find his bastard son. Coach said he was one more possibility tonight - someone who has M for a middle initial. He then brought in C.M. Punk, who Vince greeted with a shocked look on his face. Vince then complemented Punk on being extremely talented, but Vince said there's no way he could be his son because he's straight edge. Everyone shared a good laugh, then Punk said he couldn't be Vince's son because he doesn't have dirty unprotected s*x with some skank that leaves him with a paternity suit. Vince and Coach stopped laughing. Punk then smiled and left. Coach held Vince back as he made his mad face. Not quite a babyface promo from Punk, but it will work with the audience.

    C.M. Punk & The Boogeyman vs. ECW champion John Morrison & Miz: Punk and Miz started things off, then Punk slapped in Boogeyman. He brought his worms into the picture, but Miz bailed to the outside and got the ladies in harm's way. Boogeyman spit worms on the ladies. Morrison ran over Punk with a shoulder tackle before catching a high kick to the face from Punk off the ropes. Boogeyman suddenly tagged in and danced circles around Morrison before spewing the worm mist into Morrison's face. Morrison then wound up a kick to the face to drop Boogeyman. Boogeyman quickly shook it off and choked Morrison to the mat for a two count. Morrison had enough, so he tagged out to Miz. He didn't want in the match, so Boogeyman flipped him into the ring. Boogeyman then landed a big splash for a nearfall. Boogeyman held Miz's leg in the air, then Punk tagged in and smashed Miz in the back of the head with a kick for a nearfall. Punk caught Miz in the front with a kick before Morrison ran him off the top turnbuckle to the floor. Miz followed on the outside and rammed him back-first into the apron. And commence the heel iso work on Punk. Some nice double team moves from the heels beyond the standard iso fare. At 13:00, Punk slipped out of a front face lock and tried to make a tag, but Morrison cut him off. They cut to a shot of Kelly looking at her shirt while unconvincingly cheering on Miz. In the corner, Punk hit a sunset flip power bomb before reaching out to Boogeyman for a tag, only to have Miz cut him off. Punk suddenly rolled up Miz for a nearfall. He landed kick combos on Miz before hitting a snap powerslam for a nearfall. Punk then tried to make a tag, but Morrison grabbed Boogeyman and threw him into the ring steps. Punk suddenly flew over the top rope with a splash on Morrison before returning to the ring for a springboard clothesline on Miz for a nearfall. Punk then dropped Miz with the bulldog combo and the Go 2 Sleep, but Morrison tagged himself in when Punk wasn't looking. Morrison then dropped Punk with a kick to the head from behind. He finished off Punk with a corkscrew neckbreaker for the pin and the win. Morrison then stood over Punk's fallen body and held the ECW Title belt high in the air. WINNERS: Morrison & Miz in 16:00.

    ECW Opens with Estrada coming out and talking about how great CM Punk is, enter Punk who gives a little speech about winning the belt and then starts pimping out his "new t-shirt" and says, if Estrada is such a Punk fan, he should put it on. He begrudedly puts it on, and then announces at the ppv Punk v. Burke. Burke comes out, and also gives Punk a bit of credit, but says it was all because of him (ala New Breed days). Really forulmatic diatribes back and forth finished by Punk knocking him out of the ring.

    Miz over Tommy Dreamer, short match

    Backstage segment with Balls giving Kelly a teddy bear and in the background there is a wall mural thats always at Target Center with the word "together" on it.

    Striker over Nunzio in about 10 seconds. After the match, V lays out Nunzio with various spots. Boogeyman's music plays and he's shown on the big screen, cuts some nursery rhymish promo on Big V, and then its announced next week it will be Boogeyman v. Big Daddy V on ECW TV.

    Mike Knox is back and defeats Balls when Miz (w/out the chicks) comes out and stands by the entrance to distract Balls. I thought for sure we'd have Kelly run out to help Balls win and stick it to her "ex" but maybe that will be next week or something.

    Main event - Stevie Richards and CM Punk over Kevin Thorn and Elijah Burke, Punk pins Thorn with the Go 2 Sleep.

    Elijah Burke vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. Kevin Thorn - Elimination Chase Match: Thorn dominates early, sending Dreamer outside the ring and overpowering Burke. Dreamer waits outside of the ring while the two inside beat the crap out of each other. When the heels realize this, they give chase to Dreamer, who tries to make it back in the ring, but is cut off by Burke. Dreamer quickly regains his footing and takes out both heels with some old school body slams and hip tosses. Thorn once again overpowers and takes control of the match. A faint "Let's go Tommy" chant can be heard. Burke school boys Thorn out of nowhere for a near fall. Now begins a series of quick roll ups from each guy for a near fall, concluding with a double back slide on Thorn. The crowd applauds the effort, though it wasn't perfectly pulled off. Burke is sent to the outside after missing a cross body block on Dreamer in a nasty spot. Thorn and Dreamer duke it out in the ring. Dreamer goes for a corner ten-punch, but Thorn drops him on the canvbutt. Thorn goes for the rest hold of doom as the crowd tries to will Dreamer back to his feet. Dreamer slips out the back of a body slam and nails a reverse DDT. Thorn rolls to the outside, but Dreamer won't let up and nails a baseball slide. Burke cuts off Dreamer from hitting a cross body from the apron, but Thorn nails him with a stiff elbow. He rolls Burke back into the ring and gets a near fall. He gets frustrated and just pummels Burke. He hits a back breaker on top of his shoulder for a near fall. The announcers really put over Thorn's strength. Thorn hits the STO on Thorn to regain some control until Dreamer comes back in and ties Burke to the tree of woe and hits a hanging drop kick. He celebrates and is caught by Thorn in a nasty chin breaker for a believable near fall. Burke takes out Thorn and tries to go to the top, but Dreamer wakes up and catches him. He climbs up there with him, but Thorn pulls him off in a powerbomb position. Dreamer fights out of it, allowing Burke to roll him up into a sunset flip, but Dreamer rolls through and hits the Texas Cloverleaf. Thorn comes in with a big boot knocking him off. Thorn tries to hit the Shock Treatment on Burke, but Dreamer quickly gets up and punts him in the stomach with a kick and nails the DDT. Burke quickly tosses Dreamer out of the ring and covers Thorn for the three.

    CM Punk runs into Matt Striker, his opponent for tonight. Big Daddy V is standing there, as Striker puts him over as his "star pupil." V growls at Punk, to which Striker replies, "Oh, he likes you." Punk walks away after putting down Striker and V stares a hole through him, whilst growling once more.

    Nunzio vs. Mike Knox: Neither man gets much of a reaction from the crowd on the way out. Knox dominates early and doesn't let up. Nunzio tries to use his speed to get around Knox, but is overpowered and tossed around like a rag doll. Knox beats him down and tries to stretch out Nunzio, who knees Knox in the head to get out of it, but it's all for naught as Knox quickly catches him with a backbreaker. Knox continues his pummeling, much to the chagrin and silence of the crowd. Nunzio begins to mount some offense and takes out the legs of Knox and hits a nasty seated dropkick. Knox pushes Nunzio away after a pin attempt and gains enough space between the two to hit the bicycle kick and gain the victory.

    The Miz vs. Silas Young: Miz squashes Young with kicks and punches and a Russian Leg Swep and all that fancy stuff. He finally hits the Reality Check and gets the victory. Interrupting the post-match celebration is Balls Mahoney. He says he needs to talk to Kelly and asks Miz to step back. He asks Kelly to go out with him again. The crowd approves. Before Kelly can answer, Miz grabs the mic. He nails Balls with it, as Layla and Brooke pull Kelly away from him. Kelly looks upset as they leave.

    Dreamer and Burke are in the locker room making fun of each other. Burke puts over his accomplishments, but Dreamer says he has something Burke doesn't have: heart. The story they're building to is experience and heart vs. youth and athleticism. Should be a good match.

    Matt Striker w/ Big Daddy V vs. CM Punk: A CM Punk chant is heard as the two tie up to start us off. Punk takes Striker over with a shoulder block. Striker rushes him and is met with a stiff kick to the leg. Striker fights back and nails some really, really stiff fists to the face, backing him into the corner. Striker comes at him, but Punk back body drops him to the outside, allowing him to hit a vaulting body press to the outside. V provides a distraction long enough for Striker to slam Punk's hand on the ring steps. Back in the ring, Striker works over Punk's hand with some innovative offense. Striker locks in a top wrist lock, which Punk battles out of, but is immediately stopped by Striker, who nails a dropkick and goes right back to the top wrist lock. He relinquishes the hold and begins kicking Punk's hand. He continues working the hand until Punk finally reverse and hits some knife edge chops and some more leg kicks. Striker battles back, takes Punk down, and hits a running knee to the side of Punk's head for a near fall. Striker begins to separate Punk's fingers. In a funny spot, he splits Punk's hand at the middle and ring fingers and says, "Look, he's a Big Daddy V fan!" Punk is able to battle out and nail some more stiff kicks to Striker's legs. He nails a double-underhook backbreaker, followed by the high knee/bulldog combo and a springboard clothesline. He hoists Striker up for the GTS, hits it, and that's it. Post-match, Punk's celebration is cut short by V who hits a clothesline and a Samoan Drop. V and Striker pose as the show goes off the air.

    Vince McMahon is out right away to start the show. He breaks the bad news that Cena has been injured. He asks the question of who is responsible for this, so a video package is run of last night's main event, featuring the hip toss that did the deed, as well as the RKO onto the announce table. McMahon announces that Cena will be out for six to eight months and as of this moment, is no longer WWE champion, which is met with a mixed, but heated reaction. He then says a WWE title match will take place Sunday and history WILL be made. He doesn't announce the participants, however, and just leaves. Joey Styles and Tazz send their condolences and put over the fact that history will be made.

    CM Punk hits the ring next, looks like he's in a good mood, and has a mic. He says he feels like he should be focused on the match Sunday, but can't shake what happened last week. A recap is shown of Big Daddy V attacking Punk post-match last week. Punk says that V has his respect, but he also has his attention. V and Matt Striker show up on the screen and say that V wasn't trying to gain his attention, but to make a statement: that he wants the ECW Championship. They also want to wish Punk luck in his next match, which is right now.

    CM Punk vs. Mike Knox: Punk wrestles Knox down to start off. Knox is able to reverse a hammer lock, but Punk automatically counters into a fireman's carry into an armbar. The two make a clean break in the corner and stare each other down. Knox eventually knees Punk in the stomach and goes to town, unleashing some forearms and punches. Punk tries to retaliate with some knife edge chops, but Knox overpowers him and hits a nice dropkick for a guy his size. Knox wrestles Punk down, but Punk is able to get out of it and reverse into a front facelock. Knox slips out and puts a hammerlock in. He rolls Punk onto his back for two. A faint CM Punk chant is heard. Knox continues to work over Punk's arm and grounds him with a key lock on the mat. Knox continues to work the Punk over, focusing on the arm. Punk is finally able to slip out the back of an arm bar and nails some stiff kicks on Knox, eventually dropkicking him to the outside. He hits a vaulting body press, but favors his arm as the match goes to commercial. Back from commercial, Knox hits two guillotines across the top rope on Punk for a near fall. Now he's working over the neck, choking Punk on the top rope. He locks in the Rest Hold of Doom and now it's time for Punk to make the heroic comeback, which is short-lived, as his head is slammed to the mat. Back to the headlock we go. Punk elbows his way out of it and rolls Knox up with a victory roll for two. Knox levels him, however, with a clothesline for another near fall. And back to the headlock. The announcers put over the fact that Knox is picking Punk apart piece by piece. A "Let's go Punk," chant can be heard. Punk finally elbows his way out of it and nails his trademark stiff kicks and a dropkick. One fan can be heard loudly booing in the background. Punk tries to hit the high knee/bulldog combo, but only manages to hit the high knee as he is shoved away. Knox tries the bicycle kick, but Punk ducks it, hits the GTS, and gets the pinfall.

    Balls Mahoney is shown backstage walking towards the ring. It looks like he has something on his mind.

    A video package is shown putting over Tommy Dreamer's old school ECW days. Very effective and it shows that this guy really is ECW personified.

    Balls is out in the ring. He says that Miz's time will come, but for now, he calls out Kelly Kelly for an answer to his question. Kelly comes down to the ring, Balls Bear in tow. He asks her one more time, will she go out with him. She says yes, and the crowd absolutely erupts as the two embrace. Miz comes out to ruin the fun and puts down Balls with some stupid jokes, even adding an, "Oh, snap!" after saying Balls has one tooth. Jerk-off. He says that enough is enough and calls for Kelly to leave. Balls has had enough and knocks Miz with a nasty right-hand. Satisfying. Miz says that it doesn't matter, because he owns the contract for all three women, so if Kelly doesn't come to the back with them, then she will be out of their stable and out of ECW. She begrudgingly leaves and gives Balls the Balls Bear back. The two look at each other, both extremely depressed as Kelly fades to the back.

    Elijah Burke vs. Tommy Dreamer - Elimination Chase Finals: Chain wrestling to start. Neither man can get an advantage until Dreamer nails a body slam and a stiff clothesline. Dreamer follows up with a drop told hold and the hanging dropkick to the tree of woe. He takes Burke over the top with a clothesline and nails the body press off the ring apron. He lets out a primal yell to get a pop as we go to commercial. Back from commercial, Burke is working over Punk with a reverse seated chin lock. Dreamer battles out of it, but is knocked down by Burke. Dreamer struggles to his feet, but is knocked back down again. He goes one more time. Burke goes for a clothesline, but Dreamer ducks and hits a neckbreaker. Dreamer nails some shots to the body and a flapjack. Burke quickly knocks Dreamer's face into the turnbuckle. He goes to the top, but Dreamer cuts him off. He attempts a superplex, but is pushed off. Burke goes to the top and tries a top-rope sunset flip, but Dreamer reverses it for two. Burke hits an STO for another near fall. Dreamer is bleeding from the mouth now. Burke hits the Outer Limitz elbow and tries another clothesline when Dreamer gets to his feet, but Dreamer ducks it and hits the DDT and picks up the win. Tommy Dreamer wins!

    Armando Estrada hits the ring and congratulates Dreamer, but says there's one more man in the Chase: Big Daddy V. Well, heck me. The crowd groans and we have ourselves a match.

    Tommy Dreamer vs. Big Daddy V - Real Elimination Chase Finals: V works over Dreamer with some bland power moves, including stepping on his chest, using the ropes for leverage. The crowd, who was pumped after Dreamer's win, goes dead silent. Dreamer is able to mount a little bit of offense and nails a stiff clothesline, but V just boots him down. He eventually hits the Samoan Drop and a huge elbow drop to get the three.

    The show opened with the announcement that ECW champion CM Punk would be facing John Morrison. Tazz wondered what Punk's physical condition was after the attack he sustained at No Mercy.

    Big Daddy V made his way to the ring. They went to pre-taped comments from V, who said he showed Punk no mercy at the PPV and would do the same to Tommy Dreamer tonight.

    Tommy Dreamer vs. Big Daddy V: Dreamer walked to the ring with a purpose. He and V locked up but V shoved him to the mat. He overpowered Dreamer and began mauling him against the ropes. V began stomping on Dreamer in the corner and stood atop of him, smothering the former ECW champion. V took down Dreamer with a back elbow. V hit a belly-to-belly suplex then continued to beat Dreamer. Dreamer backed up through the ropes to the floor, but V followed him to continue the assault. As they returned to the ring, Dreamer began hitting a flurry of offense. He went to the ropes but was caught and slammed down. V hit a running avalanche in the corner on Dreamer, then squashed him with a Samoan Drop. V hit the Abdullah the Butcher style elbow and scored the clean pin.

    Kevin Thorn vs. James Curtis: Thorn attacked Curtis, who escaped and hit a missile dropkick. Curtis got some brief offense before being cut off with a clothesline. Thorn went right after Curtis' neck and head. They announced that WWE.com will announce CM Punk's challenger for Cyber Sunday tomorrow at noon. Thorn continued to work over Curtis. Thorn drives Curtis' shoulder into the ringpost. Thorn continued to pummel Curtis in the corner. Thorn went for a backbreaker but Curtis slipped and they fell. Thorn then hit the Original Sin for the pin.

    The Miz vs. Balls Mahoney: Kelly Kelly clapped for Balls as he came to the ring. Miz was cautious as he got into the ring. Balls went right after him but Miz pulled him hair to take him down. Mahoney hit a big elbow off the ropes. Mahoney worked over Miz with a series of rights and began working him over in the corner. Miz slipped under him and dropped Balls facefirst across the top turnbuckle. Miz snapped Balls' throat over the ropes. Balls made a comeback with a series of rights. He was going to go to the top and stopped to say something to Kelly, allowing Miz a chance to shove him off the apron and sending him into the ringside table. Mahoney wasn't able to get back into the ring in time and was counted out. Kelly checked out Balls at ringside to make sure he was OK. Miz grabbed the teddy bear Balls gave her and teased returning it, then punted it into the crowd. As Miz left, they showed a shot of Mahoney bleeding from the mouth.

    ECW World champion CM Punk vs. John Morrison - Non-title: As Morrison preened inside the ring, we saw footage of Punk being decimated by Big Daddy V from the PPV. The footage ends with a bloody and beaten Punk, so of course, he comes to the ring smiling and full of piss and vinegar. UGH. WWE creative just destroyed whatever sympathy they just built for him. Punk took off his shirt to reveal his ribs were taped. Morrison went right after Punk's ribs. Morrison kept measuring and kicking at the ribs. Morrison locked on an abdominal stretch. Punk finally monkey flipped Morrison, then clotheslined him over the ropes. He went to the floor and tried to suplex Morrison on the ring steps. Morrison reversed it and dropped Punk ribs-first over the stairs. Morrison continued to work over Punk's ribs on the mat. The beating went on for some time. Morrison missed a charge in the corner and Punk hit a springboard missile dropkick, nearly slipping as he did it, which actually made sense given the "injury." Morrison was shot to the floor and nearly counted out. He returned to the apron, where he and Punk battled. Punk drilled him in the head with a kick. Punk slammed Morrison, but clutched his ribs. Punk nailed a leg lariat for a two count. Morrison came back with several kicks to the ribs and head but Punk kicked out of the pinfall attempt. Punk nailed an enziguiri, but was unable to get the three count. Punk was superplexed off the top and pinned.

    ECW opens with John Morrison coming out, wanting fans to vote for him at the PPV. They show a replay of Punk v Morrison from last week. Out comes Miz, who gets the fans to vote for him... then out comes Big Daddy V and Matt Striker. It's the same "I want that title shot" angle we've seen a billion times.

    Out comes CM Punk who says he doesn't care who his opponent is at the PPV... and his mystery partner tonight is Kane!

    That match starts off the show; Punk still has the taped ribs and is really over. Everyone works over Punk's ribs as the crowd chants "who are ya?" to the Miz. Punk gets a hot tag to Kane, who gets into a staredown with Big Daddy V. Miz gets a blind tag and is promptly chokeslammed for as Kane gets the win.

    Cyber Sunday run-down now.

    Long period of downtime follows, causing the crowd to ger restless. Miz and John Morrison argue backstage, and Miz cheapshots Morrison, leading to our main event... because they didn't fly out the full ECW roster, I presume!

    Balls Mahoney is interviewed about how he likes Kelly Kelly. KK asks Balls out... and their date is TONIGHT~!

    They have an announcement about the talent merger, and our next match is Jesse & Festus vs Elijah Burke & Nunzio. Jesse pinned Nunzio with a flying cross body off the top in a quick match. Burke walked out after the match, and our main event is next!

    Miz v Morrison ends in a no-contest as Big Daddy V comes out and squashes both men, then poses

    Miz is out to kick us off this week, ladies in tow. He makes fun of his two opponents in the Cyber Sunday poll and puts himself over. He then turns his attention to Kelly Kelly. He chastises her for dating Balls Mahoney against his wishes, but instead of firing her, he'll teach her a lesson by making her life miserable week after week. John Morrison interrupts at this point, getting Miz back to the matter at hand. He doesn't really plug the match at Cyber Sunday other than saying no one will vote for Miz, but neither one of them want Big Daddy V voted in. He turns his focus on Kelly. He asks her why she associates with someone like Miz. He invites her for a pleasant round of intercourse, but she slaps him in response. Cue Balls. He comes down, shoves Morrison, but gets a cheap shot from Miz and an enziguiri from Morrison. Morrison then cheap shots Miz. Then CM Punk hits the ring and nails Morrison with a dropkick, cleaning house.

    Backstage, Miz and Morrison get into a shouting match when Armando Estrada interrupts and says there will be a tag match main event with Miz and Morrison versus Punk and Balls. The two continue to argue into the commercial.

    Big Daddy V vs. Kane: Kane throws some fists at V to start us off, but V shrugs it off, blocks a chokeslam, and hits a clothesline. V works over Kane with his usual spots. Kane fights back, but eats a Black Hole Slam for his troubles. They fall to the outside and V tosses Kane into the ring steps. In the ring, Kane fights back with a few big boots. V has Kane in a rear naked choke. Kane manages to get to his feet and nails a stiff throat thrust, swinging the momentum in his favor. He hits a top rope clothesline before Mark Henry runs in and causes the DQ. Kane beats down on Mark Henry before none other than the Great Khali wanders down to the ring and saves Mark Henry. The two beat down on Kan before V gets pissed off over the finish and pushes Khali out of the way. Khali boots V out and Kane boots V out and Mark Henry tries to boot Kane out, but gets booted out himself.

    Balls and Punk swear allegiance to each other, to the Republic, and to democracy for later tonight. Punks questions balls about his date with Kelly and Balls just laughs. Punk says that that's disturbing, and Balls replies, I swear to God, "That's what she said."

    Elijah Burke vs. Nunzio: Nunzio gets some offense in early, but eats some turnbuckle after going for a ten punch combo. Burke works over Nunzio with a slingshot into the bottom rope. Burke sets up for the Outer Limitz Elbow, but stops mid-stride and drags Nunzio across the apron, nailing a stiff high knee. He puts Nunzio in a headlock, which Nunzio powers out of and briefly goes on the attack, nailing the Sicilian Slice for a near fall. He goes for a top rope clothesline, but Burke catches him and nails an STO and the Elijah Express to pick up the victory.

    Khali and Runjan Sighn are backstage yelling at each other in their language.

    V and Matt Striker are also backstage. V mentions something about the ECW Monster Mash. I guess it's a fatal four-way with the big men from the segment earlier in the night. The match will be on ECW next week.

    Balls Mahoney and CM Punk vs. The Miz and John Morrison: Punk and Morrison start us off. Punk completely outwrestles Miz and gets a couple of quick near falls. Back to their feet, Miz takes over, but gets kicked in the stomach and cross body blocked. The crowd is chanting "We want Balls," and Balls they get. Balls locks in an arm wringer and immediately tags out to Punk, who nails a doulbe ax handle across the arm. After working Miz's arm, Punk tags Balls back in. Miz eventually tags out and Morrison goes to work on Balls and nails another stiff enziguiri. Balls regains his composure and nails the Balls Punches. He goes to the top, but misses a leg drop. Morrison tags out and Miz goes for the quick cover for two. After some quick shots and a Russian Leg Sweep that gets another two, Morrison tags back in. The heels continue to nail the frequent tags and work over Balls with some simple, but effective tag team wrestling. The turning point comes when Miz locks in the Rest Hold of Doom and Balls powers out and hits a clothesline on the rebound. This allows him to get the hot tag. Punk clears house hitting his usual spots. Punk is shoved out of a bulldog, but ducks a clothesline from the Miz, who nails Morrison instead. Balls tosses Miz out and Punk hits the GTS on Morrison allowing him & Balls to pick up the victory.

    Elijah Burke vs. Jimmy Wang Yang: A smoke machine is surrounding the stage and the ring with fog. Burke gets on the mic pre-match and says, "You know, if there's one thing I can't stand, it's working-class people like you." The two tie up to start off. Burke overpowers Yang, but Yang uses his quickness, takes Burke down, and hits a nice standing moonsault. Burke kicks out of a pin attempt and goes right back on the attack. He teases an Outer Limitz elbow, but sloppily drops a knee to his arm. Burke locks in a wrist lock, nails a body slam, and hits a shoulder breaker for two. He continues to work over the arm with the same top wrist lock. Burke goes to the top, but Yang catches him with a nice spinning heel kick. Yang goes for his top rope moonsault, but Burke ducks it and tosses Yang into the corner, and nails the Elijah Express to pick up the victory over this Smackdown! invader.

    Nunzio is backstage dressed as Dracula with a bunch of kids in costume. They go from door to door trick or treating, first running into Balls Mahoney, then into CM Punk, both of whom give each kid and Nunzio a piece of candy, and finally to an empty room. As Nunzio goes on to explain to the kids that sometimes it happens that you run into an empty room, the lights go red and that all to familiar music plays as the Boogeyman emerges from the smoke. He spins a mean nursery rhyme about having bad dreams and puts worms in the kids' bags.

    Nunzio vs. Tommy Dreamer - Trick or Treat Extreme Rules Match: Candy, pumpkins, pies, whip cream, and an apple bobbing tub are all at ringside. Nunzio comes out dressed as Dracula still, and Dreamer comes out dressed as, I swear to god, Paul Heyman. He gets my vote for best costume. The match itself isn't worth recounting move for move because it's really just one big food fight with Nunzio pelting Dreamer with apples, but with Dreamer controlling most of it. The high spot was Dreamer hitting the tree of woe dropkick with the apple bobbing tub in Nunzio's face, followed up with a DDT allowing Dreamer to pick up the win.

    The Miz vs. John Morrison - Number One Contender Match: The two tie up to start off with Miz gaining the advantage. He has quite a bit of intensity in his face this week. Morrison tries to pull Miz out of the ring, but Miz kicks him into the security barricade. Miz gives chase, but Morrison guillotines him over said barricade. In the ring, Morrison hits a stiff European uppercut, but misses the springboard roundhouse kick, allowing Miz to hit the corner clothesline. He goes for the Reality Check, but Morrison reverses into a roll up as the two exchange some pins. The ending comes when Morrison is shoved against the ropes, Miz runs after him, and Morrison mule kicks him into the stomach and hits the corkscrew neckbreaker. John Morrison is once again your number one contender.

    CM Punk vs. James Curtis: Morrison is on commentary and is absolute gold. Curtis takes early control and overpowers Punk, before he misses a corner splash, allowing Punk to hit the soccer kicks to Curtis' head, the high knee/bulldog combo, springboard clothesline, and GTS to pick up the victory.

    The Great Khali vs. Mark Henry vs. Big Daddy V vs. Kane - Monster Mash Battle Royal: The three heels gang up on Kane, but Kane ducks, throws some fists, and then it all breaks down. It was basically what you'd expect if these guys fought one on one, just going on at the same time. V tried two Black Hole Slams, but couldn't quite get Kane up. Eventually, V misses a corner splash and gets tossed out by Kane. Khali goes for the cranium crush on both guys, but is quickly dumped out in a joint effort. We're down to Henry and Kane. Henry battles a little bit before Kane fights back, climbs to the top and goes for the flying clothesline, but is caught in a bear hug and quickly dispatched to the outside in a belly to belly suplex. Mark Henry wins

    The Hardy Boyz vs. MVP and Mr. Kennedy: A quick recap of last night's RAW main event is shown. Kennedy and Matt start us off. Kennedy gets an early advantage with a headlock and shoulder block. Matt goes right back in with an armbar before tagging in Jeff. Jeff works over Kennedy a little before MVP tags in. MVP and Kennedy try a double clothesline, but Jeff ducks and dropkicks them out of the ring. Matt sets up for the Poetry in Motion to the outside, which Jeff nails, almost falling short, however. Good move, nevertheless. Jeff and Matt work over Kennedy till Kennedy is able to tag out to MVP. MVP is able to get an advantage with a nasty Yakuza kick, sending Jeff to the outside as we go to commercial. Back from commercial, MVP has Jeff locked in a seated abdominal stretch. He wears Jeff down with a couple of submissions before tagging in Kennedy. Kennedy circles Jeff like a mad man before going into his own seated abdominal stretch. Jeff is able to battle out of it with a hip toss and makes the hot tag to Matt! Matt, unfortunately, kills whatever momentum the match had by badly tripping on the ropes on the way in. Kennedy saves the spot by engaging in a fist fight, which Matt gets the better of and hits a second-rope elbow to the head. In comes Jeff, who nails the Poetry in Motion in the corner, then misses a Swanton. MVP comes in and goes to town with knee drops and stomps. Back to the abdominal stretch. MVP and Kennedy go back and forth with frequent tags, keeping Jeff isolated. MVP goes for the running boot in the corner, but misses, allowing Jeff to gain some momentum. He battles back and jumps out to the apron, but Kennedy grabs him by the hair and tosses him head first to the floor. The announcers sell it like he hit hard. He rolls him back into the ring, and MVP covers Jeff to get the three. Post-match, Kennedy goes to bash Matt with a chair, but MVP stops him and says, "That's my partner." Kennedy begrudgingly leaves and MVP apologizes to Matt on Kennedy's behalf. This puts more depth into the match Sunday and was an effective angle.

    The Survivor Series Classic is the main event from the first Survivor Series PPV. God, was Andre awful in the ring.

    Matt Striker is in the ring. He says Big Daddy V has the flu and isn't there, and as such, reminds us all to get inoculated. Fitting advice. He does say that V will be at Survivor Series, however, and says he will dominate every single man on Team HHH before Kane interrupts. Striker pleads with Kane to not attack, but... well, you know the drill. Short, and it seemed like an excuse to get Kane on TV, but I like Striker, so what the hell do I care?

    Kelly Kelly and Michelle McCool vs. Melina and Layla: Since Melina is the only one who knows how to wrestle here, she basically dictated the pace of the entire thing. It's not worth going over each move, but the heels double-teamed Kelly till she makes the hot tag. Michelle nails a belly to belly for some reason, ducks a cross body block, and hits a roundhouse kick to pick up the victory.

    The Miz comes down to the announce table for the main event. The Survivor Series card is run down at this time.

    CM Punk vs. Jamie Noble: The two are about to tie up before none other than John Morrison wanders down to the ring. Now we go to commercial. Back from commercial, the two former ROH world champions trade some tie ups and catch as catch can wrestling. Morrison is now on commentary, as well. Noble eventually gets the advantage and attacks Punk like the pitbull he is. Punk regains control and stiffs Noble with some kicks and a nasty dropkick to the head. Noble regains control briefly and goes for a back body drop, but Punk catches him and nails a double underhook backbreaker. He tosses Noble in the corner and runs at him, but Noble gets the knees up and hits a knee drop to Punk's arm from the second rope. He body slams Punk with Punk's arm wrapped behind his back. Noble goes to a hammerlock as a legit "Noble sucks" chant can be heard. Guess the exposure is paying off. Noble continues to work over the arm and stops Punk's attempt at offense with an armbar DDT into an almost anaconda vice. Punk is able to battle out and hits a back body drop. Noble pops right back up and knocks Punk down. He puts Punk in a key lock. Punk once again stands up with Noble attached. He nails Noble with a Samoan drop and goes to town with elbows, soccer kicks to the head, and a running powerslam. He whips Noble into the corner and hits the high knee/bulldog. He goes for the springboard clothesline, but Noble catches him in a Fujiwara armbar. Awesome spot. Punk rolls through and kicks Noble in the head. He goes for the GTS, but Noble battles out and goes for some kind of double underhook move, but Punk lifts him back up and finally hits the GTS to gain the victory and gain momentum heading into Survivor Series.

    CM Punk vs. Kenny Dykstra: The two tie up with Punk getting the early advantage and nailing a stiff kick to the back. Dykstra battles out of a hammerlock, but Punk catches him with the butterfly backbreaker for two. Punk whips Dykstra to the corner, but is caught in the Tip Off, but he slips out and goes for the GTS, which Dykstra slips out of, following up with a stiff clothesline. Dykstra goes on the attack with some vicious elbows, knees, punches, and a rear chin lock. The crowd rallies behind Punk as Dykstra slips down into a side headlock. He knees Punk in the face and backs him into the corner. He props Punk up on the top turnbuckle and attempts a superplex, but Punk blocks it and sends Dykstra crashing down. He hits a cross body block for two, then continues his attack, eventually nailing the soccer kicks and the springboard clothesline for another two-count. Punk goes for the high knee/bulldog, but after the high knee, Dykstra tosses him shoulder-first into the corner. He goes to the top, but Punk dropkicks his ankle, crotching him on the top rope. He pulls Dykstra off onto his shoulders, nails the GTS, and picks up the win.

    Elijah Burke is in the ring. He says there's a new superstar that's on ECW that just happens to be a good friend of his and he's here to introduce him. Survey says... SHELTON BENJAMIN! Shelton Benjamin is the newest member of the ECW roster! Hallelujah, our prayers have been answered! It's about damn time! What's more, he has his first match right now...

    Shelton Benjamin vs. Tommy Dreamer: Shelton goes to town on Dreamer and doesn't let up. Dreamer does try to gain some offense, but Shelton takes him down with a nasty backbreaker. Dreamer does gain some momentum, but when he goes to the top, Shelton pulls him off and nails a running spike DDT.

    Deuce and Domino w/ Cherry vs. Jesse and Festus: Your new WWE Tag Team Champs John Morrison and Miz are on commentary. Jesse and Deuce start off. Some very fast-paced action to start off. Jesse is absolutely on fire. Domino tags in after Deuce can't get the advantage. Jesse takes Domino down, but misses a top rope splash. The heels then work over Jesse with some basic rest holds and strikes. A "We want Festus" chant breaks out and Festus they get as Jesse makes the hot tag after Domino misses a top-rope double ax handle. Festus cleans house, taking both heels out with some stiff strikes. He launches Jesse across the ring for the springboard shoulder block, Jesse makes the cover, and the good guys pick up the win.

    Kevin Thorn vs. Nunzio: Kevin Thorn has a new outfit, a new haircut, it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life form him, and he's feeling good. Short match with Thorn simply overpowering Nunzio. He finishes him off with the Original Sin.

    A WWE Mobile Exclusive is replayed of Kelly Kelly and Layla backstage last week. Layla callously bumps in Kelly, the two shove each other, some slaps are thrown, then they battle across the coffee table, tossing milk, cinnamon powder, and sugar at each other.

    Layla comes out and stands by a table of Thanksgiving food and says she's a lot better then Kelly in every way. She seemed very uneasy on the mic, but she was trying her damnedest. Kelly's retort? A pie in the face, naturally. Another one of the worst food fights I've ever seen. They basically didn't even try to move out of the way of the oncoming food and it was essentially, "Oh, no, don't throw that on me! You did? How did you hit me even though I didn't move out of the way? Well, here. Have some gravy." A match is announced between the two for next week.

    Big Daddy V and Matt Striker vs. Kane: We're under Texas Tornado rules. Kane separates both men early on, but the numbers game proves to be too much. V takes Kane down with a belly to belly suplex, nails a big splash, and goes into the rear naked choke, similar to the Visagra move. Striker nails some dropkicks to his head for good measure. After a splash to the corner, Striker picks the remains, drops some elbows, but only gets a one count. V then goes back to work, but Kane ducks a double clothesline and takes both men down. Kane takes control and hits the top rope clothesline on V and a sidewalk slam on Striker to get the two. Kane goes for the chokeslam, but much dispatch of V first with a big boot. He eventually hits the chokeslam on Striker and gains the victory.
