I thought Raw sucked. Edge was good. He is the only part of the show I ever enjoy anymore.

The ending was so horribly embarrassing.

I actually didn't mind RAW last night, besides the Divas shit and the unnecessary title win given to Lita, I thought it was a solid show. Edge was spot the fuck on tonight too.

Think of the title switch as a thank you to Lita. It looks like Mickie is being set-up for a babyface turn now Lita and Trish won't be around.

I think of it as moving the title to someone who never wrestles and is basically a manager. They wonder why no one gives a fuck about the women's division.

Lackluster ECW show tonight.

CM Punk vs. Justin Credible II failed to live up to the first one :P It was okay, but Credible botched a spot pretty badly.

Test and Knox squashed the FBI.

The RVD/Sabu ladder match was a mess of epic proportions. RVD had a cute spot when he monkey-flipped the ladder onto Sabu, but Sabu botched a couple spots pretty badly, to the point where it was depressing. The finish sucked too.

Either WWE just doesn't care about editing the audience's chants for the ECWs show, or those chants were too loud to be edited out completely; either way, I'm enjoying it. We got classic chants like "You take steriods", "R-o-H", and "You Fucked Up".

Or may be WWE wants ECW to seem like an house/indy show...which I like. I'm not going to lie, I like start of this old school with what the promotions have been doing recently, and shutting-off the house lights and just leaving the lights on the ring is a nice touch.

On three random side notes:

1. Big Show did an emerald fusion/air raid siren on Batista a couple weeks back. Big Show gains 35 points of overness with me, even though it wasn't that crisp.

2. I like Big Show's clutch-into a backbreaker submision. Which leads me to:

3. Why hasn't Big Show been using that submission these past few weeks? I know it's a submission, but he can at last use it as a clutch-into a backbreaker throw, like he did on Flair.

I honestly thought that the Sabu/RVD ladder match was exactly what I thought it would be. Crazy shit and botched spots. Overall entertaining, although not near that great of a match. The rest of the show was rather lackluster.

Wow..I like BAD shows, but ECW absolutely sucked last night.

-A long, rambling Mick Foley promo to open? Where's Sandman?!! Now would be a good time to appear. Drinking game: everytime Foley cuts a promo, take a swig if he:
1) Talks about being in the business for X number of years
2) Talks about his books
3) Talks about his ear
4) Talks about his title reigns
5) Talks about being on the cover of TV Guide
6) Talks about falling off the cage
--There's a few other common elements that I'm missing, but fuck do I hate this guy. People say Hogan was repititive, but at least he never re-hashed the same self-serving topics for 10 years. Every Hogan promo hasn't included slamming Andre the Giant, being on the cover of Sports Illustrated or winning the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award.

-TestKnox vs. FBI
No Trinity? Not that I miss her or need to see her, but she would've added some heat to the FBI.

-CM Punk vs. Justin Credible
Again? Huh? Heck...throw out Danny Doring or ..or... or.. umm...Axl Rotten?

-Shannon Moore says "question authority". Oh goodie..this means he has an brewing feud with the refs!! You go, girl.

-When Kurt Angel was fighting the Paul E Squad, it looked like one guy's head hit the concrete wall too hard. STIFF!

-Sabu vs. RVD
Sabu reallllllly likes having his crotch wrapped around Big Show's head. Man, was that ending spot awkward.

The ladder match was enjoyable in a trainwreck sort of way. I laughed at some unintentionally funny stuff throughout, like RVD continuing to go for pins like 3 times. And then him jumping off the top rope for the belt and faceplanting. And Sabu trying to do a triple jump moonsault off the ladder and falling on his ass. And the EXTREME fucking chokeslam on the motherfucking clipboard. That was sick.

I like the Flair/Foley build-up, but all of the build-up has been on Raw for the most part, not ECW

You read about the match against Balls Mahoney with referee James Beard didn't you? ;)

Big Show interferes a ladder match and chokeslams someone on a clipboard. I can see him doing a chokeslam on the mat, even more hardcore (and what people wanted to see) a chokeslam on the ladder. But a clipboard? Let me re-state...a clipbaord?! A fucking clipbaord?! Excuse me, to quote Real F'n Show "EXTREME fucking chokeslam on the motherfucking clipboard"?!

Clipbaord---Ladder

Ladder---Clipboard

Gee, let me think...ummmm, clipboard! Wooooo!!! Now that's ex-treme.

I heard that Moore has heat with management over a dark match he had in the Hammerstein Ballroom. The crowd shit all over him, so Moore took a mic and said something along the lines that he "isn't there to impress internet fans."

I don't remember where I saw this, for all I know someone said this earlier in this thread, it's late and I don't feel like reading much :D

James Beard made a comment about how he had to count-three, even though Moore's shoulders were up.

Apparantly before the show, for whatever reason, CW Anderson was supposed to be heel and Moore was supposed to be face. (Why? I don't know. This isn't the stupiest thing WWE has ever done.) Long story short, Moore worked the crowd the wrong way, plus he was wrestling an ECW wrestler in the Hammerstein Ballroom, so he had to turn heel mid-match, and the finish had to be changed.

Beard is in the good from the road agents because of this, while Moore isn't. And for whatever reason, Moore is in trouble, too. It's doesn't seem like WWE road agents are fans of CW Anderson anyhow.

Also, Moore had been going over Anderson at houseshow. This match was just a swap because of the situation that came-up.

Here's a bunch of quotes:

An excerpt from a post by Beard:

Quote:
 
I worked a dark match on ECW last night: Shannon Moore vs. EW Anderson....That one was meant to be one thing, but Shannon made some mistakes in working the crowd and Jerry Brisco and Johnny Laurentis started giving me the word to change everything, including who goes over and which guy was to work heel....All of this is hard to communicate when guys are never stopping long enough to work a hold, but somehow we got through it....Not good, but considering the circumstances, it was passable....The finish probably looked horrible, but these young guys get all out of whack when anyone changes anything...They were looking at me like deers at a head light...The agents weren't happy with the wrestlers after that one....


From a poster to Beard:

Quote:
 

James, this report was posted on PWInsider about a match you officiated last night:

Quote:
 

*Christopher W. Anderson (CW Anderson, obviously) pinned Shannon Moore with a Samoan Drop, although Moore's shoulder was up.



Were you not aware of the shoulder being up, or did an agent tell you to end the match?


And a response from Beard:

Quote:
 
yeah....I was telling him to stay down, they wanted the match over and with Shannon losing and time was done....I knew it was close, but I was going to get it over before it got worse. It goes against my normal way of doing things to go through with that, but things were getting worse and they weren't understanding what was trying to be conveyed.


Kind of winded, but I think that about wraps everything in a neat li'l package.

Shannon Moore is rediculous. His whole gimmick is annoying, even more so because he has said in interviews that he thinks the store Hot Topic is an expansion of his personality. Besides, if you've ever heard him talk in interviews, he sounds like a bumbling North Carolian hick, which makes the whole gimmick come across as being more stupid.

I'll admit it, I liked Moore when he was in WCW and his early days on Smackdown, but this has become just too much for me.
