I like the new opening montage/music...Drowning Pool was getting old.
I'm torn about the opening segment, while I thought that Striker was absolute gold ("You're really freaking me out!"), he also introduced us to Big Daddy V...ugh...while I like the idea of the gimmick better for Vis, I never, ever, want to see him without a shirt again. For a minute I thought it was Abdullah the Butcher. Yuck.
Nice to see Stevie in a decent match with Punk, and I like that they seem to be building Nitro into a legitimate ECW champ.

| #2 Posted on 11.7.07 1208.23 Reposted on: 11.7.14 1208.28 | I'm disappointed Miz is apparently going to get pushed as a face. He was coming along nicely as a heel on Smackdown, so why not continue that path? He just doesn't seem very cheer-able as a face.
What was that submission that Stevie put on Punk? It looked pretty sweet. Stevie should bequeath it to someone who can get more mileage out of it. | oldschoolhero

| #3 Posted on 11.7.07 1231.13 Reposted on: 11.7.14 1231.16 | I dig the Big Daddy V gimmick. Big ol' Nelson has come on leaps and bounds over the past half-decade, and is a pretty good bruiser-style heel. There's something deliciously old-school about the pairing of he & Striker - I could easily picture these two being part of the old ECW. | Mayhem

Good show ... I really wish Stevie could be on show that allows him to compete for a secondary title. | Matt Tracker

Punk's two consecutive running knees to Stevie's back and then his head were evil. That was a standout match. | Dahak

Maybe they never looked at his face. Or tried to not look at him at all. *shiver*
Stevie-Punk was a good match. The third one iirc. Noticed that Richards got a LOT of offense, which was sweet.
Was the Miz portrayed as a face? He still comes across as a heel/jerk to me. And keep in mind that the only one that made him come across as a heel was JBL who hated him.
