ECW on Sci-Fi 8/1/06: Debut of Punk

[Destor]

Tuesday night, ECW on Sci Fi will be live from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

In the main event, SmackDown's Animal will be unleashed on ECW when Batista challenges Big Show for the ECW World Title. Will he become the latest victim of the 7-foot, 507-pound extreme champion?

Also, Kurt Angle will be in action and CM Punk will make his ECW on Sci Fi debut. Who will step up to challenge them?

==============================

PUNK


TONIGHT

[Kane Knight]

This should be worth watching just for the ECW Smarktards.

[The One]

Hammerstein Ballroom = :y:

[Kane Knight]

Anyone else notice the "Bossman killed Big Show's Father" sign?

[Linkbowler]

I really thought one of the Hammerstein fanatics would grope Kelly.

[Kane Knight]

YOU SUCK DICK!

[Linkbowler]

There goes the crowd volume.

[Batsu]

Ah yes, REAL ECW.
In a real ECW arena.
LOL @ WWE trying to sanitize the loudness of the crowd.

[Batsu]

YOU CAN'T WRESTLE!

[Linkbowler]

Dreamer's balls have to be completely gone as many times as he's taken that spot.

[Kane Knight]

Ah yes, REAL ECW.
In a real ECW arena.
LOL @ WWE trying to sanitize the loudness of the crowd.

Sad thing is, they could broadcast with a 5 second delay like everyone else. They don't have the Balls...


Mahoney aside.

[Batsu]

I can't wait until the main event.

[Linkbowler]

Hell yeah! The wire!

[Kane Knight]

Man, the tables get a bigger pop than 90% of Raw/Smackdown.

[Kane Knight]

God, the crowd's the best part. :love:

[Destor]

LOL they were chanting you cant wrestle at the guys opposing the Sandman.

[Batsu]

Now THIS is entertaining.

[Kane Knight]

SHOW YOUR TITS!

[Batsu]

Ah, yes... Tommy being an asswipe, YES.

[Linkbowler]

Bloody spanking!

[Batsu]

Gay.

Note to Vince: You want crowd reaction, THIS is where ECW needs to be taped!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol you sold out chants

[Batsu]

YOU SOLD OUT!
YOU SOLD OUT!
YOU SOLD OUT!

[Destor]

good show thus far.

[Kane Knight]

Gay.

Note to Vince: You want crowd reaction, THIS is where ECW needs to be taped!

I doubt he does.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol wow this is hilarious

[Batsu]

Even Joey Styles is sounding more.... Styles-like.

[Batsu]

That bootleg finish didn't even bother me as much....thanks to the crowd calling the shitty booking out.

[Linkbowler]

Sorta-ECW from the Hammerstein and Shark Week...a match made in remote heaven.

[Batsu]

At least the Sabu booking/build-up has been tolerable.

[Linkbowler]

Punk time!

[Destor]

PUNK

[Kane Knight]

Punk makes Keannu Reeves look decent.

Is he reading off a cue card?

[loopydate]

Nah, he was just trying to keep his eye on the pretty red light on the camera, since the photog had clearly been drinking.

[Destor]

Punk makes Keannu Reeves look decent.

Is he reading off a cue card?I wonder if they actually use cue cards...

[Skippord]

Poor Justin

[Kane Knight]

Nah, he was just trying to keep his eye on the pretty red light on the camera, since the photog had clearly been drinking.

:rofl:

[Skippord]

Inno just ejaculated in the crowd

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

hahahah Justin Credible...this shit is hilarious I love it

[Destor]

Annaconda Vice

[Skippord]

Fun Fact: Innovator is the only one chanting he is just really loud

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Lance Storm

[Jaton]

Is that..ring psychology?

[Destor]

No, ring psycology is a myth.

[Destor]

Anaconda Vice

[Linkbowler]

LOL Fertig has AIDS sign

[loopydate]

Not bad. Not bad at all.

[Fignuts]

Anaconda fucking vice

nice

[Jaton]

I think CM Punk has given me reason to tune into ECW now.

[Kane Knight]

No, ring psycology is a myth.

Like the female orgasm.

[Fignuts]

Seriously, ecw has been ON lately.

Even stima's posting ffs.

[Destor]

Tripla A posted in one of these. they must be doing something right.

[Destor]

Or worng, depending on what side of the fence your on.

[Destor]

Like the female orgasm.Female..what? I haven't heard of this one.

[loopydate]

Seriously, ecw has been ON lately.

Yeah. We may all mock it for being another WWE brand, but after just a couple of weeks, it's already better than RAW or SmackDown.

-EDIT-

Having typing issues.

[Kane Knight]

ECW? I thought this was the official Ultimate Avengers 2 thread.

[St. Jimmy]

Punk wasn't that impressive... He just reminds me of Corino...

[Linkbowler]

The BRAWLER?

[Jaton]

..wtf

[Kane Knight]

Why are New Yorkers cheering the Boston BRawler?

[Skippord]

Brawler eh?

[Fignuts]

Dude what the fuck is the hulk doing on the team?

[Skippord]

OH SHIT RUN BRAWLER RUN

[St. Jimmy]

Brawler vs. Angle?! :rofl:

[Kane Knight]

Punk wasn't that impressive... He just reminds me of Corino...

He's not all that people make him out to be. Then again, when you ejaculate over someone for breathing like they just won the bostom marathon using only their testicles for propulsion, you're bound to set them up to fall short.

[Jaton]

I'm actually surprised at how over Kurt Angle is with the ECW crowd.

[Skippord]

I bet Brawler wins

[St. Jimmy]

He's not all that people make him out to be. Then again, when you ejaculate over someone for breathing like they just won the bostom marathon using only their testicles for propulsion, you're bound to set them up to fall short.

The man can wrestle, but I was expecting much more.

[Linkbowler]

Has the brawler ever won a match?

[Kane Knight]

I'm actually surprised at how over Kurt Angle is with the ECW crowd.

If any WWE wrestler is gonna be accepted by the Hammerstein crowd, it'll be him.

[loopydate]

I'm actually surprised at how over Kurt Angle is with the ECW crowd.

I think it's because he's Kurt Angle. ECW fans tend to be smarks, and Angle has always been a smark favorite. Look at the reaction Punk got tonight.

I imagine Benoit or Jericho would also get a huge reaction.

[Fignuts]

I actually don't want to see Big Show lose the title anytime soon. I'm really liking his run.

[Jaton]

BATISTA WILL BE ACCEPTED! :shifty:

[Kane Knight]

The man can wrestle, but I was expecting much more.

That's the thing. His little gaytarded fanboys hyped him up so much nobody could live up to his legend.

[Linkbowler]

Honestly, is there anything not to respect about Angle?

[Jaton]

Am I the only one looking forward to Descent? That movie looks like it'll be good.

[St. Jimmy]

I think it's because he's Kurt Angle. ECW fans tend to be smarks, and Angle has always been a smark favorite. Look at the reaction Punk got tonight.

I imagine Benoit or Jericho would also get a huge reaction.

That and both Beniot and Jericho are ECW Alumni.

[Skippord]

Dont talk about Innovator that way

[loopydate]

Has the brawler ever won a match?

He beat Triple H in a 3-on-1 handicap match with Kaientai (Jericho interfered).

He's also won a few indy titles.

[Skippord]

Dammit Linkbowler/Jaton/St Jimmy

[Kane Knight]

BATISTA WILL BE ACCEPTED! :shifty:

But he's ECW through and through.

[loopydate]

That's the thing. His little gaytarded fanboys hyped him up so much nobody could live up to his legend.

Same thing happened with Samoa Joe. I mean, he's good, but... He's not the next big thing or anything.

[Kane Knight]

Kevin Thorne=Gay.

[St. Jimmy]

lmao?! Kevin Thorn?

[Skippord]

Ariel is pretty hot

[Skippord]

Kevin Thorne :nono:

[Jaton]

Why are you damning me?

[Kane Knight]

Same thing happened with Samoa Joe. I mean, he's good, but... He's not the next big thing or anything.

Joe's also better than what you see on TV. Not that it matters, but I've downloaded quite a few Punk matches before.

Joe and Burchill were watered down on TV. Punk looked a lot more like his regular self (relatively), and he never lived up to the hype even before he was on ECW TV.

[Skippord]

Threw off my posting

[Batsu]

LMFAO @ them chanting RVD at Big Slow.

[Batsu]

LOL! Shit completely on this match, ECW fans. Please.

[St. Jimmy]

BOOOOO! *mark*

[McLegend]

I thought Punk's match was good.

[loopydate]

:lol: "You both suck!"

It's not true, but it's still a funny chant.

[Kane Knight]

YOU BOTH SUCK!

[Linkbowler]

You both suck!

[St. Jimmy]

YOU BOTH SUCK.

[Batsu]

YOU BOTH SUCK chants.

[Skippord]

Best Chant Ever

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol you both suck...hilarious

[Destor]

Sabu run in.

[loopydate]

"Ultimate Avengers 2" has become the new "Final Fantasy X-2."

Forward is the only way Wasp's heart will go.

[Fignuts]

What the fuck were they thinking, making this the main event of the hammerstein show?

[Kane Knight]

Apu run in.

[Jaton]

What the fuck were they thinking, making this the main event of the hammerstein show?

We can get Show over as a heel, bury SD, and make the title look like shit all at once!

[Kane Knight]

What the fuck were they thinking, making this the main event of the hammerstein show?

"The fans will love what I tell them to love!"

[loopydate]

Same old shit! Same old shit!

[Kane Knight]

"Ultimate Avengers 2" has become the new "Final Fantasy X-2."

Forward is the only way Wasp's heart will go.

You mean it's a sucky knockoff?

[Skippord]

LOL

[Batsu]

SAME OLD SHIT chants.

[Kane Knight]

Same old shit! Same old shit!

[Linkbowler]

gotta love the money signal

[Jaton]

Haha. Stan Lee putting over ECW.

[Skippord]

Yeah there actually is a way to please the fans.

Have some ECW wrestlers

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Big Show did the money symbol then flipped off the crowd that was great...what they where chanting when he sniffed his armpit?

[Jaton]

CHANGE THE CHANNEL

[loopydate]

Why didn't the ring break?

IT'S CALLED CONTINUITY, PEOPLE!!!

[BigDaddyCool]

The best part of the change the channel chant is Stylez and Tazz trying to cover it up.

[Batsu]

LOL @ the crowd.....this was the most genius booking EVER.

[Kane Knight]

The ironic thing? This is probably one of the best matches either guy has put on in recent history...But it's in front of such a hostile crowd that nothing they could do would ever be received.

[Skippord]

I :heart: Hammerstein

[BigDaddyCool]

Why didn't the ring break?

IT'S CALLED CONTINUITY, PEOPLE!!!

I was thinking that last week with Kane and Show doing the same move.

[Jaded-Dragon]

Can't believe they didn't censor "Same old shit".

[Skippord]

Poor Finlay got his move stolen

[Batsu]

Whoa, Big Slow actually pulled off a weird-ass Air Raid Crash there.

[Kane Knight]

I :heart: Hammerstein

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

hahaha this match sucks so bad...when can RVD come back? Imagine if he did a run in smoking a blunt.

HAHA they just DQ'd The Big Show lol wow

[loopydate]

The ironic thing? This is probably one of the best matches either guy has put on in recent history...But it's in front of such a hostile crowd that nothing they could do would ever be received.

Exactly. And the fact that it just ended in a DQ isn't exactly winning them any fans, either. Did they forget the backlash over the "double knockout" in the Sabu/Rey match from ONS2?

[Jaton]

The best part of any ECW chant is Stylez and Tazz trying to cover it up.

[Jaded-Dragon]

Disqualified? W....T....F

It's Thursday night Smackdown! I mean, ECW!!!

[BigDaddyCool]

You know they might have a move cooperative audience if the moved out of the northeast and travelled to where ECW never or barely ever toured.

[Linkbowler]

Best. Show. Ever.

[Skippord]

SABU MARKOUT

[Jaton]

Please tell me I did not see a diaper in the ring.

[loopydate]

Yes, Tazz. It was an Arabian facebuster. ...to his back.

[Batsu]

LMAO!

[BigDaddyCool]

And Sabu to the rescue?

[Destor]

Sabu ti the rescue

[Skippord]

That looked pretty painful

[Destor]

Gay BDC

[BigDaddyCool]

So, is Sabu going to be the guy to take the belt off of Show? That is the only way to bring any respect to the ECW title.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol why do they keep showing the kick that he missed and not the face buster he actaully hit?

[Skippord]

When is RVD's 30 days up?

[BigDaddyCool]

Gay BDC

Only on the weekends.

[loopydate]

Sabu is the most credible contender for any of the world titles right now. The Sabu/Show feud is being booked quite well.

[Batsu]

All the CRAP in that show was buffered by the crowd reaction. Excellent.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

I like it how Punk got such a ridiculously huge reaction after never wrestling on WWE tv ever, but Show and Batista are booed out of the building. That match was great just for the crowd reaction. I'd actually say this was probably one of the best ECW shows on SciFi yet.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Or the back buster I guess?

[Jaton]

Not soon enough.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

LOL I just read and saw they where chanting change the channel, wow that is awesome. I couldnt make out what they where saying

[BigDaddyCool]

LOL I just read and saw they where chanting change the channel, wow that is awesome. I couldnt make out what they where saying

What, are you deaf?

[St. Jimmy]

Show/Dancin' Dave was a horrible match... neither Wrestler even tried...

[Jaton]

Maybe now the writers will finally figure out that WWE guys in the main event EVERY WEEK just isn't that interesting.

[loopydate]

I would say it's the best ECW show they've done on Sci Fi. The main event was a bit of a train wreck (not because the match itself was bad, but because the crowd wasn't having any of it), but the rest of the card was solid.

The "extreme" tag match was very good.
Punk's debut was very good.
Angle's return was done very well.
And the backstage segment with Heyman in the catering room was a mark-out moment in and of itself.

[St. Jimmy]

Poor Finlay got his move stolen

I marked out for the Celtic Cross/Kriptonite Krunch. ^_^

[Kane Knight]

Exactly. And the fact that it just ended in a DQ isn't exactly winning them any fans, either. Did they forget the backlash over the "double knockout" in the Sabu/Rey match from ONS2?

Knowing Vince, he did it to piss off the fans.

[Pepsi Man]

lmao @ "Change the channel!"

[Kane Knight]

Maybe now the writers will finally figure out that WWE guys in the main event EVERY WEEK just isn't that interesting.

You kidding? That's the loudest response they've gotten in ages! Who cares if it's negative! Heat is heat!

[mike627]

This was a great show,man CM punk was awesome.BS and Batistia was pretty much what I expected.

[RGWhat316]

I'd say that was a pretty good show. I watched it with a few friends. And one of them, I went to the show with last week, and he damn near cried when Punk didn't debut last week. But he was flipping out this week.

And what can be said about the NYC crowd that hasn't already been said. They are the ECW crowd, and will let them know when the show sucks. And the main event did tonight. So hopefully, this will be the end of the 2 WWE guys fighting over the ECW title now.

[Corndad]

They should seriously tape the show every week from there, the crowd is what makes ECW. Always did.

[Fignuts]

I thought Show vs Batista was a pretty decent match, except for the dq ending.

[jindrak]

Just got back from the show. Here is a brief account of being in the crowd live:

Dark Matches-

Balls Mahony def. Rene Dupree
-Major heat on Dupree. Balls got a great reaction, obviously.

Roadkill def. Stevie Richards
-Nothing special, except the 'You fuck sheep" chant.

London/Kendrik def. Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke
-Great reation for Guido and Mamaluke. However, the match contained many boring chants because it was, you know, boring. One high spot in the match when Kendrick jumps outside the ring to onto the FBI.

C.W. Anderson def. Shannon Moore
-Lots of faggot, queer, gay, emo queer chants directed at Moore. After the match he goes on the mic and says he doesn't care what anyone thinks about him and that he is out to be the top cruiserweight in the world.

Sci-Fi Show
Test/Knox def. Sandman/Dreamer
-Major pops for Sandman and Dreamer. Crowd wanted to see Kelly naked, and/or go through the barb wire table. Tommy's bump on the table looked devastating, as did the Sandman cane shots.

CM Punk def. Justin Credible
-Major pop for CM Punk when his pre-taped promo was shown. The match felt dissappointing, but CM was over nonetheless. Should be noted that there were many anti-Straight Edge chants. After any CM Punk chant, a group of guys in my section followed by chanting, with 'sucks!'.

Kurt Angle def. Brooklyn Brawler
-Brooklen Brawler was way over with the crowd, telling them ECW is where he can be himself and one day the ECW Hvwt. champion. Angle comes out to a massive pop. Quick squash.

Batista def. Big Show via DQ
-The crowd crapped on this match from the beginning and never gave it a chance to succeed. Chants included, 'change the channel' (my favorite of the night), 'you both suck', 'we want a refund', 'this match sucks', 'boring'. The DQ finish wasn't much of a surprise to anyone, and most everyone there seemed to be glad it was over.

Sabu came to a HUGE pop and reaction when he layed out Big Show. After the match Big Show and Batista shook hands as the crowd voiced their disapproval, not at the showmanship, but for the fact that the match was awful...it felt that way live.

After the show went off the air, a fan was beaten and arrested by security for throwing a water bottle at Big Show. The fans witnessing the arrest chanted, 'ECW' in response.

Greatest Pop
1. Sandman/Sabu
2. CM Punk
3. Kurt Angle
4. Balls Mahoney
5. Brooklyn Brawler

Greatest Heat
1. Shannon Moore
2. Big Show/Batista
3. Test
4. Rene Dupree
5. London/Kendrik

Note:
I had the 'Prom King' sign and the 'RVD+Sabu are the REAL High-Landers' sign.

[Innovator]

That was you with the Prom King sign?

Sandman stood right in front of me before he hopped the rail, was on my chair, poored beer all over me, dropped the beer next to me....WOOO FREE 1/6 OF A BEER. Then I gave the can to a kid, made his night.

Punk was way over, lost voice, good debut match against Justa Jobber

Brawler was insanely over, as was Angle, Balcony tried to get a dueling chant going

Batista/Show...amazing for all the wrong reasons.

After Show got off the mic at the end of the night, the guy to my left tossed a beer on him, I almost got taken out by security, nuts

[weather vane]

IS THERE ANYWHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD THIS?

[Joey Slugs]

The worst thing that could of happened to this show was also the best part:

THE CROWD.

Knowing Vince, he'll never book a show at another "ecw" arena again... just because you know he is pissed with the reaction Dave got tonight.

[Vastardikai]

The thing was, the match really wasn't THAT bad. The problem was with what I knew it was gonna be: Dave isn't ECW in their eyes, nor is Show.

[RGWhat316]

Yeah, I do feel for big Dave, but he just should have never been put into that environment. The match wasn't horrible, it's just gonna be remembered because of the crowd.

And I go with Slugs' theory that more than likely, Vince will never book at Hammerstein again.

[RGWhat316]

IS THERE ANYWHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD THIS?
It could be edited by tomorrow. But from ECW.com, it says the following:
Also, check back Wednesday night at 10/9 CT to see Big Show vs. Batista from this week's ECW on Sci Fi.

Are you nuts? You Suck is a sign of respect. Ask Angle.

Therefore, "You Both suck!" IS the highest praise they could receive in a main event.

[Steve The Pirate]

I missed it, but my friend said Batista kept getting into it with the crowd cause the booing and chants against him. Did he really? If he really did that's kinda cool.

[Innovator]

From backstage reports, Vince loved the taping

[Corkscrewed]

That's good news. Sounds fucking awesome. Best ECW on SciFi show yet! Crowd reaction really DOES make a huge difference. :D


And Tista was prolly in kayfabe, since he was playing the invader role.

[Joey Slugs]

From backstage reports, Vince loved the taping

I hope to god that this is true.

[Arnold HamNegger]

That was the most entertaining hour of wrest...er, sports entertai...er, wrest...uhh....WWE product I've seen on TV in a long time! It must have been awesome to be there live and drunk....I'm jealous!! :D

[jindrak]

That was you with the Prom King sign?

Yeap.

You were the with a bunch of guys holding up the HUGE 'I paid to see CM Punk' sign?

[Innovator]

Nope, I was section 4 on the floor, right next to the lower right turnbuckle from where you were. Sandman came through right next to me...got his beer he dropped

[Triple A]

The Hammerstein crowd is seriously the most amazing crowd ever. Every time I have been there it has been the funnest time of my life.

Last night was amazing. Like an entire crowd chanting exactly what I am thinking. LOVE IT.

[Innovator]

http://img343.imageshack.us/img343/8914/32xn3.jpg

[Xero]

ROFL at the "Bossman Killed Big Show's Father" sign. I love really out of date signs, so when they pan the crowd it looks like it's spliced in. :lol:

[Triple A]

LOL at that sign.

[jindrak]

Nope, I was section 4 on the floor, right next to the lower right turnbuckle from where you were. Sandman came through right next to me...got his beer he dropped

So when did you see my sign?

[Innovator]

While you were in line, I remember walking by that
