ECW is Raw

Ok. I know it's late but I've only just watched ECW because my interest going into the show was pretty small.

BINGO!

The opener with RVD and Sabu vs Test and Mike Knox was a great match. The spots were well worked in, not all of the spots were fucked up and thr result went the right way. All I ask is where was Heyman or Holly who had a vested interest in both men last week?

The main event was OK for what it was. It obvious promotion for the PPV on Sunday rather than pushing ECW angles but at this point in time that's absolutley fine. DX standing tall makes sense in the fact that faces need to be kept strong but we need to see a reason for them fighting at the PPV which at the moment is seemingly lacking. DX standing tall at the end of the ECW made me laugh at how far ECW has moved away from the original product.

CM Punk slapping Shannon Moore was funny.

I have one question for the vampire. Which in fact is my only interest in him. Why is he called Kevin? Could there be a plainer name for a vampire.

The Sandman/Striker thing is alright for what it is. They're holding the pay off of Sandman caining the shit out of the teacher and that's fine.

Overall the show was OK with a good opener and an OK main event all that was in between was pretty much filler.

Question of the week: Why do they never refer to ECW history? Surely it would add some legitmecy to the promotion.
