CABLE GUIDE: Is the Big Show the ECW Champion? (L) TV-14,CC. Ah, cable guide, always trying to prevent PPV spoilers. I love you cable guide


2.4

LET THE LACK OF ANY PRE-OPENING CLIPS HIT THE FLOOR

TV-14-DLSV CC WE ARE LIVE from the Wachovia Arena in Wilks-Barre, PA SAP transmitido en espanol on Sci Fi this is episode #11 of ECW long sentence fragment!

TONIGHT: if you paid to see it on PPV, you are a sucker! Big Show takes on Sabu and the ECW World title is on the line! BUT FIRST

EXTREME BIKINI CONTEST: TORRIE WILSON (WWE RAW Diva) v. KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY KELLY (and her opponent) - So really: did Torrie get a nose job or what? Find out for yourself by closely examining this month's FHM Magazine! Kim reminds me that Kelly is an exhibitionist. Torrie's silk robe is red while Kelly's is blue: draw your own (ironic) political conclusions from here. Ring announcer JUSTIN JASON JAR-JAR ROBERTS lays down the rules - they go one at the time - they show the goods - the crowd picks a winner if they can free up their hands. In my younger days, I'd have had the stopwatch ready to time this contest, but as I've decided to handle the duties in real time, you'll have to go find someone else's recap. Hey look, Torrie's butt - what there is of it. Sho nuff, before Kelly can remove the robe and show the suit, MIKE KNOX & TEST run out to put a stop to things. After a polite round of booing from the crowd, the crappy music fires up and that can only mean they will soon be joined by SANDMAN - OR SHOULD I SAY *BLAND* MAN (AM I RIGHT PEOPLE) & TOMMY DREAMER. Three out, three in. Beer me so I can break my head open. OH MY GOD SANDMAN WITH THE STICK: "YYYYO! YOU THREE - US THREE - RIGHT HERE - RIGHT NOW!" Sandman speaks English? Referee Mike Posey hits the ring and apparently it's on...

EXTREME SIX MAN - ERR, SIX FOLKLL TAG MATCH - Or is it? Knox and Dreamer decide they don't really want in, but since Kelly is still lingering on the apron, Torrie pulls her back in by her hair - very slowly and very helpfully, and not with all that much of a grip on the hair after all. Gutshot - let's ring the bell! In the corner, kick - and all the lights in the building go out. Talk about overkill! Quickly they come back on. "Did you do that?" "Anything can happen in ECW!" Back to the "action" - Torrie is getting ready her loving tribute to Rikishi by giving herself a wedgie...and there's some butt wavin' in the general vicinity of Kelly's hands, I mean face. Change camera views! This is exposing the business! And I don't mean exposing HER business! Test decides he'd better tag in, so it'll be he and Dreamer. I know, I've lost interest in this match, too! Duck, right, right, that was Dreamer, this is Test to the eyes. Forearm to the back. Backbreaker across the knee...holding on for two...holding on for a side slam, 1, 2, Sandy saves. Posey and Sandman argue long enough for the devious doubleteam and "clap in the air" fake tag. Knox with a forearm in the back - off the ropes - Bossman straddle! Knox knows 'em all! Dreamer crawls towards the wrong corner - elbowdrop by Knox, elbowdrop, elbowdrop. Dreamer takes a trip outside. Free shot for Sandman, and that should distract Posey just long enough for Test to give Dreamer a spine in the ringpost. Thrown back in - cover by Knox - 1, 2, no. Tag to Test. Dreamer sent into the opposite corner hard. I should note that Kelly has decided to remain on the floor while Torrie gamely stands on the apron letting us all be distracted by her backside. Test gives Sandman another free shot. Bearhug applied. Dreamer must fight out of it! Right, right, right breaks it, but Test rakes the face. Gutshot, pumphandle....Dreamer goes over the back and out of it - neckbreaker may turn the tide! Both men are down and the crowd urges on Dreamer - hot tag! In comes Knox - he eats a left, left for Test, left for Know, left for Test, over to kneel on Knox - left, left, left, left, left, Test from behind to stop that. Right by Test - pulled out, but Sandman reverses into a side Russian leg sweep! Knox is over with a gutshot - headlock - suplex blocked, SANDMAN WITH A SUPLEX!!!!! Sandman going up top - SENTONBOMB (Styles: "the ROLLING ROCK!") to Knox! Cover - leg is hooked - now you might say "geez, he's really putting himself in great position to get pulled out of the ring by Test" and gosh, you'd be right. Right after 2. Test scoops him up - but Sandman fights off the run to the post and TEST eats it! Back in - Knox placed on the top buckle - Knox shoves him off - Knox trying the top rope legdrop but Sandman rolls out of the way! Torrie's ass! Torrie's ass! Torrie's ass! Sandman crawls to a tag for Dreamer - Dreamer making the Jake Roberts circle in the air - DEE-DEE-TEEEEEEEEEE - leg is hooked - 1, 2, OH MY GOD! (4:51) GREATEST MATCH EVER! But...Sandman fails to piledrive Torrie after the match. Hey Sandy, sorry about that "bland" crack. Replay of the Rolling Rock - and Mike Knox' greatest headstand sell of a DDT ever - this goes to show that if you make the Jake Roberts circle in the air, YOUR DDT can win a match as well!

Backstage for a little storyline development - VERY little. Four guys, two in riot gear, one with a belt, and the balder one speaking: "The first man to hold the ECW, WWE, WCW Championships...the largest athlete on the face of the planet, seven feet tall, five hunderd pounds, the single most dominant champion in ECW history - you KNOW how much I believe in you. But to accept Sabu's challenge just two days after SummerSlam - I mean, you know, this has me worried you have to understand I have such a long-term--" "Paul, look. I beat Sabu at his own game. Okay? I got this handled. Relax." "I am relaxed. It's just that he came so close at SummerSlam. He--" "Paulie - you worry too much. I'm your champion, I'm your giant. Sabu's out of his element tonight no chairs, no tables, no weapons. I'm a walking weapon. I got Sabu." And off he walks. Paul seems...blank and expressionless. Hey, I guess Big Show *is* the ECW Champion! Take THAT, cable guide!

SciFi's "Who Wants To Be a Superhero?"
SciFi's Original Movie "Dragon Sword"

This guy looks familiar... "Hello. I'm MATT STRIKER - your teacher - and I am fully aware that the letters ECW bring about images of brash, barbaric brutality. Why, the very volition that this vein of violence lacks valour and virtuosity makes me want to...vomit. I'm losing you, aren't I. Okay, I realise that you're not educated enough to understand the words that I'm using. You see, I have a tendency to be...supercilious at times. If you don't know what it means, look it up. I'll use the common vernacular, okay? Okay...um...BRAWN - right, strength? Brawn works only some of the time, but BRAINS - brains work ALL of the time. And I'm bringing my brains right here to ECW. You see, I have a responsibility to shape your mind. Don't thank me, it's just what I do. After all I *am* your teacher - I am ... Matt Striker." FINALLY! Just what people want out of ECW - guys who can do a good promo and who knows if they can questionably wrestle?

EXTREME RULES MATCH OF THE NIGHT: KEVIN THORN (270 pounds - with Arielae) v. BALLS MAHONEY (Nutley, NJ - 305 pounds) - This thing with the vampirism, and the bite clubs...this is really big with our youth. Why, I can't tell you how often I'm driving down the streets of Minneapolis and I just see these kids with their capes and walkin' sticks WHOA Ariel is hanging upside down like a bat - and now she's TOTALLY spreading her legs. This is really exciting to me. Balls Mahoney is less exciting to me. His name's Balls. I'm not as into Balls as you might think; however, this crowd seems TOTALLY into balls. Thorn jumps Balls, kicking the chair into his face, and now with the pounding. Pounding on BALLS. Into the ropes, Balls ducks, stops, lefts coming - Balls, Balls, Balls, Balls, Balls, Balls, Whoooooooooa Balls. That last one was the right uppercut. THIS one is a kick in the face which the crowd doesn't punctuate, but Thrown feels enough behind to head out of the ring. Mahoney follows. Did I mention it's good to see extreme official John Finnegan getting a payday tonight? Well, I just did just now. Thorn surprises Mahoney as the chase ends with a strike. Forearm in the back, another right, head to the commentary table is blocked, gutshot by Balls, THORN'S head to the table. "Hey Tazz, you drinking that?" Tazz gives up the water bottle, and Mahoney clocks Thorn with it. OH NO, NOT A BOTTLE PARTLY CONTAINING LIQUID OF SOME SORT - well, if it could take down a plane in our real life, I guess it'd make a decent "Extreme Rules" match weapon. (For those of you who don't like political humour, you may use my alternate joke, "Now, if it had been HOLY water...") Balls with a right, Thrown with a right, Mahoney misses a right, kick by Thorn, forearm, trading punches, back in the ring, BIG clothesline by Thorn will surely slow down the pace. Ariel (sure screams a lot) hands over the cane. This is legal in an Extreme Rules match! Point of the cane driven to the head. Another shot. Cane underneath the chin - and there's an unpleasant jawbreaker. Cover - 2 for Thorn. Cane to the base of the skull. Another can shot. Choke with the cane as we take the ECW Replay of the jawbreaker. Thorn winds up - but Mahoney ducks - balls (Thorn drops the stick), balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, whooooooa balls! Off the ropes and into a spinebuster! 1, 2, shoulder up!! OFF COMES THE SHIRT!! Mahoney outside for his chair - but Ariel grabs the right leg and (apparently) starts gnawing on him to boot - or ON the boot - whatever - and this provides just enough of a distraction for Thorn to kick the chair back into Mahoney's face. Mahoney scooped up - shins placed on the top rope - there's the top rope neckbreaker - and they've finally figured out that this'd make a pretty good finisher. 1, 2, 3. (2:59) Ariel adds a rake of the face before Thorn loses himself in the valley between her melons. Let's take a replay of the last two moves in this match. As they leave the ring, the red lights hit - and Ariel almost trips over the steps.

TONIGHT: It's the big SummerSlam rematch - this screen is covered with words and Show and Sabu!

NEXT WEEK: For one night only, catch RAW on Sci Fi! Or, in the Pacific time zone, the same place it always airs! (Unless, of course, the tennis goes long.)

AD BREAK: Sci Fi's "Battlestar Galactica" returning in October
"Crank" in theatres 1 Sept
World Trade Center 5th Anniversary Commemorative Coin made from silver recovered from Ground Zero (WTCproof.com) - umm - creepy - but that website is HILARIOUS: "Dateline: TUESDAY"

Here now is our weekly look at "THE REJECT" SHANNON MOORE - What? Is he peeing? What? I think he's going to speak! "The system...is oppressive." Hmmm... You don't say. Say, if you're going to pose him so close to a "No Smoking" sign you might as well have him hotboxing - that's REALLY be fighting the system - not to mention those idiots from "truth." that always sponsor the other two shows...by the way, WHEN IS THIS GUY GOING TO *WRESTLE*

CM PUNK (Chicago, IL - 222 pounds) v. CHRISTOPHER W. ANDERSON (Raliegh, NC - 245 pounds) - Amazingly, he's NOT taking on Justin Credible. He must have been sick this week or something. I hear you get sick when you're not straight edge. C.W. makes his debut and gains a first name - seriously, when did a guy name "Christopher" ever do anything in this biz? If you're starting to think that "an ECW original" is secret code for "destined to lose," well, just ignore the opening match and then you'll be USUALLY right. Anderson makes the Arn throat slash, which the long shot doesn't pay much attention to, as well as the "CW" hand signal, which the long shot also ignores. Meanwhile, Styles & Tazz are arguing whether "cup of coffee" is the correct metaphor to describe Anderson's tenure in that other ECW. Ring the bell already - lockup, arm wringer by Punk, Anderson reverses, Punk reverses back, Anderson grabs the hair and to the corner we go. Mickey Jenson demands the clean break and EVENTUALLY gets it. Gobehind by Anderson, Punk reverses, Anderson with a legtrip and takeover, grabs the ankle, but Punk grabs a headlock. We're back up, we're back in the corner. Clean break only happens THIS time when Henson interjects himself between the men - and Anderson decides this might be a good time to remind us of the devastating power of his left hand. Or maybe that's the magnificent selling ability of Punk. I don't even know who to pretend to like anymore! Anderson stomps on the hand. Hammerlock - and Punk's shoulder meets the post. Anderson wraps Punk's left arm around the top rope for 4. Shoulder into the gut. "CW" signal greeted with boos! HEY I JUST FIGURED OUT HE SHOULD TOTALLY GO TO SMACKDOWN, GET IT, GET IT, IT'S ON "THE CW" anyway Anderson charges in and Punk jumps onto his shoulders as he comes in, then tarantulas his way into a stretchy move of some sort - legs over the shoulders, body around the top rope, arms grabbing the legs - then applying a headlock for good measure. Of course, this can only last until the count of 4 as it is highly illegal. Sunset flip in - but Anderson frees himself from the grip of one arm and drops down around the other with CODE RED, and when Tazz says jujigatame I thank him. Thank you, Tazz. Punk rolls over, puts his forearm in the back three times to break it, but Anderson is up with another left.
2.2

This one doesn't seem as devastating, but that's probably because it appeared to connect with the top of his shoulder. Wants to put Punk shoulder-first into the post but he reverses, Anderson hits the corner, Punk runs up and hits a knee to the head (and slaps his own knee as well - what a terrible camera angle) - bulldog out. Big kick by Punk, off the ropes - but into the ANDERSON SPINEBUSTER - leg is hooked - 1, 2, no! Oh, COME ON. Anderson wants a second, but Punk doesn't want to take a second - lands on his feet, slap, other hand slap, backfist, roundhouse kick (with slap on the thigh - I am BEGGING them to find a camera angle that doesn't show him blatantly slapping his thigh), uranage into the Anaconda Vice, Anderson taps a little too quickly. (2:39) I suppose there must be something wrong with this old wrestling fan, because after this match...I want to see more of Anderson.

Your commentary team is comprised of JOEY STYLES & TAZZZZZZZZZ. Sabu came SO close on Sunday, surely he'll take the title tonight! Uh...that makes no sense.

ECW WORLD TITLE: SUMMERSLAM REMATCH TONIGIHT BIG SHOW VS SABU THAT'S A LOTTA WORDS

Styles chokes out an intro for

Promo for "The Marine" - I've seen this thing a few times now - tonight was Kim's first chance to really pay attention to it - I think it's safe to say this promo was designed more with me in mind than my wife...unless it turns out it's a comedy. I don't think it's a comedy. Let me further damn this with faint praise by saying I want to see this movie a HELL of a lot more than I EVER wanted to see "See No Evil."

Another backstage performance by El Heyman! "I really do understand. I mean, I can only imagine how it must feel to see all these ECW guys on worldwide television, being accepted by a global audience as the masters of the extreme style - as the innovators of hardcore. And here you are, having been held back all these years...because of your reputation for volatility." We pan over to see...Bob Howard? Yikes. "I know you're angry. I'd be angry too. I'd be downright vengeful! I mean, I don't wanna mention any names, but...okay, just one. So that you understand what's going on around here. (whispers) Oh yeah! As soon as he found out that I was signing you to ECW, he started rallying the entire locker room against you. 'Oh we can't have him, he's too violent. Oh we can't have him, he likes to hurt people! Oh, the reputation for volatility!' Yeah. You have a lotta enemies around here, and nobody wants you in ECW. I do...but, Hardcore Holly, for you to make it in Extreme Championship Wrestling, you NEED to MAKE an IMPACT!" He points to his head. "Impact." What, a TNA impact? Well, at least he's right about one thing - just about NOBODY wants to see Hardcore Holly in ECW. (Sometimes, the obvious joke is also the correct one.)

ROB VAN DAM (Battle Creek, MI - 235 pounds) v. DANNY DORING (Wildwood, NJ - 219 pounds - ready for action) - Tazz says that since van Dam lost the ladder match, he's "basically starting from scratch" - I'm sure that makes Doring feel real good to hear. Hell, one of these two guys has a cool ring jacket and nice shades - and HE'S the one NOT getting the push?! What a world. Referee is Double Duty Mike Posey, annnnaway we go: Lockup, gobehind by van Dam, to a headlock, reversed to a test of strength which Doring wins, but van Dam bridges back up - right hand (sorta) to the trap, again, bodyscissors rollup gets van Dam 2. ECW live event crawl. Doring shoves van Dam into the ropes, but van Dam kicks him on his way out. Van Dam POINTS TO HIMSELF!! Doring decides to run in on him...and helpfully falls as if a drop toehold were applied (although they almost DIDN'T make contact at all). Doring up, ducks a kick but van Dam keeps a followthrough and connects with the other leg. Van Dam inexplicably stop to take a bow, so Doring turns THAT into a swinging neckbreaker. Cover, leg is hooked, but only 2. Elbowdrop to the back by Doring, another, grabs the leg - it's like an STF! van Dam tries the back elbow to the abdomen, Doring with a foream in the back to counter - has the ponytail, to the corner but van Dam blocks it and lands a BIG kick to Doring's head. Clothesline. Clothesline. Superkick! Doring in a corner - gutshot by van Dam, into the oppsosite corner, somersault into a monkey flip out, van Dam up top - flying kick lands! Here's Rolling Thunder. I have a feeling the frog splash is next - and there you go. Styles DOES say "Five Star Frog Splash" this week. Finally covering - 1, 2, 3. (2:28) Roberts gets out "Rob Van" before HARDCORE HOLLY hits the ring to chair van Dam - and Doring - and Alabama Slam van Dam. HOLLY POINTS TO HIMSELF! but fails to ask van Dam how he likes him now. This might be a good time to check out some replays. Frog splash - chair in the back - chair to the hand, I mean head - and
2.2

Alabama Slam. Holly's outta here - van Dam is left to stew.

ECW WORLD TITLE: WELL IT'S THE BIG SHOW (with Let Us Take You Back To SummerSlam) v. SABU - in case you missed it, Big Show was one of the unlimited resources of the McMahons (who, it should be noted, still managed to lose their match). These Clips display that - well, I guess they DO show Show manhandling Triple H and Shawn Michaels, so that's some kinda rub...right? Sabu has new fuzzy red pants, so that means he'll win, right? Ah ha ha. OH MAN HE POINTED TO THE CEILING AGAIN!! Ref is Scott Armstrong, since I have a minute and there's the ECW WORLD TITLE graphic. Take it away, Mr. Roberts: "The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the ECW World Title! Introducing first, the challenger. He is the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal, death defying SABU!" He may come out second, but Roberts ain't gonna let that stop TRADITION! "And his opponent: standing at seven feet tall, weighing 507 pounds, he is the current ECW World Champion - THE BIG SHOW!" I wonder if they'll take the ad break here or not. Nope, not until one (or both) men are outside... Ring it! Right by Sabu, right, right, well it's a big headbutt and THAT'S over. Well it's a big clubbing forearm to the back. Well it's a big headbutt. Show jaws with random fans. In the corner, well it's the big slap to the chest. Pulling him out - has the hair - well it's a big slap that knocks Sabu to the ground. Well it's a big military press - and drops him on the top rope - Sabu bounces to the floor...Oh, is Sabu outside? Then let's take that ad break!

When we come back, you are looking LIVE at a chair and a table - and now up at Show, choking Sabu on the top rope and making sure he can see the love below. Well it's a big bodyslam. Ah, we are told that Show is taunting Sabu by showing him readily available weapons...that he can't use in this non-Extreme Rules match. Sabu tries a right, kick, right, right, right, right, right, off the ropes...into a flying (well, dropping) clothesline by Show! Show continues to put on the badmouth and chokes for 4. ECW replay of the clothesline - back in the real time, Show has Sabu in a bearhug, and only two thumbs into the eyes can break it
2.6

- but Show decides to shove him high in to the air to make the break. Show is still blinded - and unfortunately for Scott Armstrong, Show picks the wrong guy to barrel over! Here come Sabu - big kick to the head - off the ropes, Show tries to swat him away, Sabu off the ropes - and caught - and given a fallaway slam that almost takes him out of the ring again! Show is wearing pieces of Sabu's fuzzy pants in his beard. Sabu decides this might be a good time to use the hardware - WHACK with the chair to the head. Sabu and the chair back in the ring - Sabu flings the chair at Show's head - Sabu dropkicks the ankle, but for some reason Show's OTHER leg buckles...with Show on one knee, Sabu has the chair and he's going up top - off the top with a chair to the head - TIMBERRRRR! Chair in place - triple jump moonsault finds the mark! "ECW" chant - Sabu points to the ceiling and hits an Arabian facebuster ON THE FACE!! Sabu hooks a leg, but since he didn't try to revive Armstrong, only the fans can do a count - now Mickie Henson is in the ring...1, 2, NO! Stomp by Sabu - going outside - grabbing the bell - errr, that probably won't work with a conscious ref in the ring. Henson protests with great vigour, Sabu ignores it, rings SHOW'S bell, and Henson calls an end to the match...or so we have to assume, since there's no bell left for the timekeeper to ring. (DQ call it 7:57) Looks like Show has been busted wide open from the shot (or cut himself, who can say for sure) - and there's ANOTHER bell shot for Show - and ANOTHER - and ANOTHER. Hey how about one more. And one more! One final bell shot, and Show goes over the top rope and down to the floor, through the table on his way down! Well, I guess Sabu didn't REALLY want that title. Styles helpfully offers "Reason is not his long suit." Play his music, 'cause he LOST!! Sabu puts the bell in his mouth and points to the ceiling. LOVE IT. Replays of Armstrong going down, Show eating the bell, Show eating a clothesline and also eating some table. We come back to see a giant red spot on the mat where Show's head was laying. Now I'M not hungry. WWE copyright notice is up and I have a feeling we'll see this in replays only in black and white - although, I'd bet good money some "bell" sound effects get added to heighten our reality. The time is approximately 10:04:30 - GOOD NIGHT

Too many capital letters?

One to go! And then.....?

Don't worry, you weren't the only one who wanted to see more of CW. His punches are awesome, he's got mat skills, and his spinebuster is all kinds of great.

He also has a great back kick during which he subtly slaps his thigh. His feud with Dreamer during ECW's final days was right nice, but Styles downplayed his run a bit.

Either that or there was no way in hell he was going to even attempt a Razor's Edge on Balls ;)

I don't think it's a comedy. Let me further damn this with faint praise by saying I want to see this movie a HELL of a lot more than I EVER wanted to see "See No Evil."


I watched the extended promo on RAW on Monday and my only thought was how in the hell did Robert Patrick get roped into doing this movie? Who is his agent?


Interesting discussion point on the number of referrals to CRZ's recaps of the ECW - is the number of referral most related to the show itself, the quality of the recap or when I post the link at DVDVR?

Number of referrals listed below for each show:

#1 - 4
#2 - 8
#3 - 40
#4 - 349 (when I started putting the link up)
#5 - 470
#6 - 293
#7 - 305
#8 - 223
#9 - 192
#10 - 107
#11 - 100 (so far)

Add me in as another guy who wants to see more of Anderson. Those were some very solid lefts, and it was total bullshit to let him hit that spinebuster and then have Punk kick out.

I had heard it was 12. Wasn't it 12? (I didn't think 12 made sense either when 13 was right there, but I was positive I'd read it was 12.)

    BTW--does your spell-checker have trouble with Kevin Thorn's name?
Which part, "Kevin" or "Thorn?" I'll check later.

It's probably more a matter of how long your thread stays on the first page (which also has to do if anyone bothers to bless you with a reply) - also, I keep thinking other people might start linking to me from other places. I mean, *I* won't do it but YOU certainly can. I see tOA some weeks. I'm still a little surprised I've never seen a link from OO but maybe they're happy to forget all about me (or don't want to show up whoever's doing them over THERE, yuk yuk.) And then, there are the Google searches done by perverts. Ahh, perverts - the surest way to making money on the Internet - what I MEAN is "thanks for shilling me when I won't even shill myself!"

EDIT: Interestingly, we've already gotten one hit off the Google blogsearch (blogsearch.google.com) - see, I TOLD you that RSS feed was a good idea! :-P

I noticed his last name was listed as Thrown in a couple of spots and last week or the week before he was Thron. No biggie. It made me laugh b/c one of the programs we use at my job is called HTE and spell checker is always changing that on me to THE.

Fool! I NEVER use a spell checker!

I *did* notice I'd typed "Thron" a bunch of times last night but I appear to have managed to catch them all before making the final posting. I guess I was less tired this week. For some reason, when I'm typing really fast my finger-memory hasn't found a place for t-h-o-r-n yet and prefers to "autocorrect" to Thron and Thrown.

Not that a spell checker would help, but I've been enjoying catching the one time that you mistype Knox as Know each week.

Was Vince McMahon one of the people who believed Iran was going to unleash the apocolypse on August 22nd, thus explaining why Tommy Dreamer was actually able to pin someone?
From Double Champion to being stuck in an angle with the former Sparky Plugg in less than 2 months. See kids, being the one in the driver's seat when you get busted for drugs is bad. Now, if you are in the passenger's seat, you get a PPV match and get to lay out the champ. Lesson: Always be the passenger when in possession of illegal substances.
Watching C.W. Anderson work the arm: For one brief shining moment, it was Camelot. To give Punk some credit, he did sell the arm after the match. That is unusual in this day and age.
If somehow this gets past week 13, please put Tazz and Styles in the back doing commentary. It is just not natural seeing announcers in that position calling matches. Either be off camera or have the table up against the ring, ala Crockett or MSG/Boston Garden.

    OH NO, NOT A BOTTLE PARTLY CONTAINING LIQUID OF SOME SORT - well, if it could take down a plane in our real life, I guess it'd make a decent "Extreme Rules" match weapon. (For those of you who don't like political humour, you may use my alternate joke, "Now, if it had been HOLY water...")


I actually stopped about right here to see if it was you that posted this or someone covering for you. This is probably my favorite recap since the *big* comeback.
