After demolishing Chris Masters on ECW on Sci Fi and Mr. Kennedy & Randy Orton on SmackDown, ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley looked unstoppable on his Road to WrestleMania. But as Mr. McMahon showed on Raw, there’s a good reason why you should not cross the boss. Will Lashley be able to regain some momentum on ECW on Sci Fi with the Battle of the Billionaires at WrestleMania 23 just five days away?

Also this week on ECW on Sci Fi, the eight Money in the Bank participants will collide in the same ring in the same match. ECW's CM Punk, Edge and Matt & Jeff Hardy will face Mr. Kennedy, King Booker, Finlay and Randy Orton in an Eight-Man Tag Match just days before the Ford Field showdown. Who will gain the upper hand before Sunday?

Speaking of Eight-Man Tag Matches, the New Breed managed to get an edge on the Originals last week when Elijah Burke found a way to top Tommy Dreamer, and Kevin Thorn & Marcus Cor Von defeated Rob Van Dam & Sabu. On the final ECW on Sci Fi before their battle at WrestleMania, Burke and RVD will face off in a battle of the team captains. Which side will seize the momentum before their showdown at WrestleMania?


Why is Edge with the faces instead of Orton? Did I miss something?

[Caged Heat18]

Edge will probably walk out on his team.

[Jura]

Booker looks ridiculous now that I think about it. I hope they change his gimmick soon.

[Caged Heat18]

I like the King gimmick personnally.

[Xero]

I've always hated it on Booker and always will.

[Corndad]

I find it funny an ECW thread is started long before a Raw thread would be.

Should be a good one tonight. I've actually enjoyed ECW last few weeks.

[Caged Heat18]

So who's watching tonight?

[Caged Heat18]

RVD v. Burke to start it off.

[Linkbowler]

I'm in, as always. Kinda thought this Burke v. Van Dam match might be the main event.

[Jura]

The crowd seems more lively than usual.

[Caged Heat18]

I've been digging Burke as of late.

[KingofOldSchool]

Edge will probably walk out on his team.

Probably?

Come on now it doesn't take much common sense to figure out what will happen.

[Skippord]

Burke is the man

[Linkbowler]

Nice little suplex combination there.

[Linkbowler]

Good lord...Tazz is trying to out-announce Joey, and he's damn near succeeding.

[Corndad]

Burke has really come out of his shell since he was deemed "the future of ECW" by Vince. Really has impressed me

[Linkbowler]

RVD with the win, and the gang war begins.

[Corndad]

I'm thinkin the New Bleed is winning at mania

[Jura]

Ariel's not wearing her usual vamp wear tonight, I like it. On the other side of the spectrum, Matt Stryker's tights are really bad as always.

[KingofOldSchool]

I'm thinkin the New Bleed is winning at mania

It took you this long to realize that?

[Skippord]

EXTREME

[Skippord]

I want to have sex with Kelly's mouth

[Skippord]

And Brooke's lady parts

[KingofOldSchool]

Yes, Edge will still bail on Hardys and Punk.

[KingofOldSchool]

Snitsky squash.

[Linkbowler]

Oh lord, Balls is about to get crushed.

[Skippord]

Snitsky's music owns

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh lord, Balls is about to get crushed.

:naughty:

[Linkbowler]

You know, Snitsky really is ugly. He's just an ugly, ugly guy.

[Jura]

Snitsky needs to moisturize and exfoliate or something.

[Crossrine]

Did anything big happen in the first 5 minutes ? I missed it ..

[Jeritron]

Did anything big happen in the first 5 minutes ? I missed it ..


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Linkbowler]

Wait a minute, we're going to get a verbal debate?

[Jeritron]

damn that was good

[Crossrine]

Was it a really important 5 minutes? lol

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL Finlay stirring the shit

[Jura]

I like the Randy & Kennedy thing.

[Crossrine]

hey new lashley shirt on

[KingofOldSchool]

Lashley is a good mute.

[Crossrine]

lol look at his facial expression

[KingofOldSchool]

No one's ever spoke to Vince like that before?

Well I wonder what Stone Cold thinks about that one.

[Crossrine]

LASHLEY KNOWS HOW TO SWEAR?!?!?!?!

[Corndad]

It took you this long to realize that?

No, just has really become obvious now.

[KingofOldSchool]

ALL HAIL KING BOOKER

[Crossrine]

These teams arent gonna last long. The hardys will help eachother along with cm punk but I doubt the rest will work together.

[Corndad]

I like the ECW announcer.

[Crossrine]

Nothing like the old one though :(

[Linkbowler]

So are they officially no longer the Hardy Boyz? Just "The Hardys?"

[Nark Order]

LOL @ Vince unleashing a wrathful promo of doom on Lashley and Lashley getting to say only 2 sentences.

[KingofOldSchool]

Edge and Matt Hardy on the same team.

Who'd thunk it?

[Linkbowler]

I like the ECW announcer.

Justin Roberts > Chimel > Lilian

Having Stephen DeAngelis back would be awesome for ECW though.

[KingofOldSchool]

Having Joel Gertner back would be awesome for ECW though.

[Crossrine]

Ya they dont call them team xtreme or the hardy boyz anymore. Really dont know why...

[McLegend]

So are they officially no longer the Hardy Boyz? Just "The Hardys?"
Yes

[McLegend]

Ya they dont call them team xtreme or the hardy boyz anymore. Really dont know why...
Cause they are like 37 years old

[Jura]

Hardy Dudez

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL at Edge

[Crossrine]

You know tons of people are behind hardy always wanting him in matches but I have yet to be impressed by him (during the current days of wrestling.)

[Nark Order]

BOOKAH IS IN

[Jura]

Booker sucks chants lol

[Volare]

So Taz just called Finlay "Fit Finlay"...someone must miss WCW :)

[Corndad]

SO random question. How old is Fit Finlay?

[Linkbowler]

Finlay's 48, if I'm doing my math right. Born October of 1958, according to wikipedia.

[Jura]

lol Edge

[Caged Heat18]

Yeah, big shock there.

[Crossrine]

[Caged Heat18]

KING BOOKAH!!!

[Linkbowler]

ALL HAIL KING BOOKAA!

[Jura]

Shillelagh to the back of the head and then the scissors kick to CM Punk.

[Linkbowler]

Edge is gay chant. Nice.

[Caged Heat18]

That ladder is a lot shorter than the one used on Raw.

[Crossrine]

Did anyone else hear hbk chants???

[Caged Heat18]

But the second one is HUGE.

[KingofOldSchool]

Ewww Finlay got whacked.

[Crossrine]

SHIT U SEE HIS EYE

[Nark Order]

Too bad neither Hardy will win.

[Corndad]

Wow Finlay got jacked up.

[Linkbowler]

Looked like Vader from IYH: Final Four.

/too obscure?

[Crossrine]

Well I gotta go

peace

[Linkbowler]

There's Vader after getting tossed into the steps.

[Jura]

So Hardys can work together, so can Finlay/Booker and Orton/Kennedy. That leaves Punk and Edge working as singles. That kind of makes me think Punk or Edge will most likely win the MiTB

[KingofOldSchool]

That makes no sense.

[Jeritron]

Did anyone else hear hbk chants???


:nono: They were Edge is gay chants. You know..cuz..Edge was in that match getting heel heat, and HBK was umm, nowhere to be seen and had no bearing on the show or match.

[McLegend]

At first I thought it was HBK chants as well, and I was confused

[Jura]

That makes no sense.
What I'm trying to say is that there's 3 teams. Hardys, Orton/Kennedy, and Finlay/Booker. Punk and Edge are alone. When push comes to shove, teammates will turn on each other and this can cause them to lose sight of the prize.

[RGWhat316]

Not a bad episode tonight. RVD/Burke was good, with RVD surprisingly dominating most of the match. And I thought the main event was good. They finally teased a little dissention between the Hardys. And damn, did Finlay get fd up.

[KingofOldSchool]

Orton, Kennedy, Booker, and Finlay are nowhere near conisdered a part of any tag teams.

Orton and Kennedy has team up like twice? Sure that gives them enough credibility to win the tag titles, but the doesn't mean they have no chance of winning MITB.

Booker and Finlay haven't really be together since last summer and even at that it was a loose association.
