CM Punk got a small taste of revenge on the last ECW on Sci Fi when he, along with Tommy Dreamer, defeated John Morrison & Elijah Burke. Though he doesn’t have gold just yet, the first step toward being ECW Champion may be underway. Is the clock ticking on Morrison's title reign?

Speaking of the time, John Morrison was introduced as the new face of Extreme. And to show his generosity, he announced he would give a title opportunity to anybody who could last fighting him for 15 minutes without being pinned. Will this challenge continue? Will Morrison meet his match?

Also on the last ECW on Sci Fi, Stevie Richards pulled out an upset victory against Kevin Thorn. Is there a new force to be reckoned with in the Land of the Extreme? Has Kevin Thorn lost a step?

Find out the answers to all of these questions and more on the next ECW on Sci Fi on Tuesday at 10/9 CT.

[Corndad]

I actually miss him coming out to his old music.

[KingofOldSchool]

If he gets any more poetic, Lanny Poffo could sue for gimmick infringement.

[mrslackalack]

I thought he would keep the theme music and they would give Melina a new one but it ended up the other way around.

[mrslackalack]

LOL WWE actually mentioned Stevies upset win and can he do it again!

[KingofOldSchool]

Here I was hoping for Dave Wadding.

I mean he's from Arizona.

[Innovator]

What about Steve Nash?

[mrslackalack]

Puder would be PERFECT for this 15 minutes of thing deal.

[Innovator]

Hell anyone but a 180 lbs weakling

[McLegend]

lol Shaman of sexy

[KingofOldSchool]

Hell anyone but a 180 lbs weakling

Wadding is a 600 lb weakling.

Does he count?

[KingofOldSchool]

And you've jobbed more than 15 times.

Just in the past week.

[KingofOldSchool]

When's the last time Burke has won anything?

[KingofOldSchool]

CM Punk out next

[mrslackalack]

I wonder if WWE is going for an Extreme Elimination Chamber match for the ECW title at SS.

[The One]

CM Punk is really the only even half way decent thing about ECW. And even there, they need to figure out how to give him some kind of third dimension, cause he's starting to stale really quickly.

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh gee who didn't see that coming?

[Innovator]

Punk got to talk....hell has officially frozen over

[mrslackalack]

Well we know some1 will win the TT match and then last the 15 mins of fame to receive a title shot.

[KingofOldSchool]

CM Punk is really the only even half way decent thing about ECW. And even there, they need to figure out how to give him some kind of third dimension, cause he's starting to stale really quickly.

They don't even really give him any time to grow as a character, he comes out and wrestles for 5 minutes and that's it.

It's a damn shame because it's obvious the fans are desperate to get behind him.

[KingofOldSchool]

Punk got to talk....hell has officially frozen over

Yeah it might've been only two sentences, but it's better than the nothing he's been getting.

[Innovator]

Punk is the only guy to really get a reaction from the crowd, too bad creative puts their hands to their ears when he comes out.

[mrslackalack]

I wonder if the ECW thread will beat out RAWs thread again this week?

[KingofOldSchool]

STEVIE!

[Innovator]

Stevie!

CMON TWO IN A ROW

[The One]

They don't even really give him any time to grow as a character, he comes out and wrestles for 5 minutes and that's it.

It's a damn shame because it's obvious the fans are desperate to get behind him.

Exactly. Get him into a feud that's worth a damn. Let's see him be in a 3 on 1 situation and get beat down but put in a damn fine effort. Give him more time to talk. Switch brands if need be. SOMETHING, because he has all the magic "it" factors about him and the people are ready to accept him as a big time player, but WWE seems content to have him be the constant #2 guy on their third tear brand. :nono:

[Innovator]

I wonder if the ECW thread will beat out RAWs thread again this week?We gotta pick up the pace to do that

[mrslackalack]

Uh Oh it might again if Stevie makes it 2 in a row!

[KingofOldSchool]

If Stevie wins tonight, he should change his name to the 1-2-3 Guy.

[Innovator]

Exactly. Get him into a feud that's worth a damn. Let's see him be in a 3 on 1 situation and get beat down but put in a damn fine effort. Give him more time to talk. Switch brands if need be. SOMETHING, because he has all the magic "it" factors about him and the people are ready to accept him as a big time player, but WWE seems content to have him be the constant #2 guy on their third tear brand. :nono:Him vs. Kennedy would be decent, hell put him on Smackdown and have him against MVP and Finlay.

[The One]

Uh, did Stevie switch from blowing to allowing McMahon to ass fuck him or something???

[Innovator]

I'd mark for the Stevie Kick

[mrslackalack]

I hope the TT ME tonight is good.

[Innovator]

WWE thinks highly of Stevie, just never gets behind him

[KingofOldSchool]

Exactly. Get him into a feud that's worth a damn. Let's see him be in a 3 on 1 situation and get beat down but put in a damn fine effort. Give him more time to talk. Switch brands if need be. SOMETHING, because he has all the magic "it" factors about him and the people are ready to accept him as a big time player, but WWE seems content to have him be the constant #2 guy on their third tear brand. :nono:

And that's the way it should be with ANYONE that has the talent and the crowd support. Hell I hate Kennedy but I thought it was fucking stupid to send Kennedy on Raw to rot in mid-card hell when he could be World Champion on Smackdown.

You don't just turn a blind eye to fan response, you actually listen and improve on said reaction.

[Innovator]

Absolutely no offense

[KingofOldSchool]

WWE thinks highly of Stevie, just never gets behind him

Much like Nunzio and Al Snow before him.

[mrslackalack]

Rumors were Stevie was getting a push for getting pops at house shows.

[KingofOldSchool]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

[Innovator]

2 IN A ROW

[mrslackalack]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Innovator]

Is Heyman booking again?

[KingofOldSchool]

BIG FLOPPY V

[Innovator]

Big Daddy Abdulah

[The One]

Holy Shit Stevie...:D

[BigDaddyCool]

This has to be the biggest push of Stevie Richards career, winning 2 whole weeks in a row.

[KingofOldSchool]

TUESDAY NIGHT STEVIE

[Innovator]

Big Daddy V is like 40 lbs away from having a special on Discovery about how fat he is

[KingofOldSchool]

This has to be the biggest push of Stevie Richards career, winning 2 whole weeks in a row.

I think this is above RTC and right below being Vicky's he-bitch.

[mrslackalack]

Nunzio will prolly job to Richards next week.

[Innovator]

I bet people smuggle steroids over the border in his tit flap

[KingofOldSchool]

Big Daddy V is like 40 lbs away from having a special on Discovery about how fat he is

BIG DADDY V WEEK

[Innovator]

It'd beat Shark Week

[KingofOldSchool]

I bet people smuggle steroids over the border in his tit flap

They could smuggle all of Mexico and half of Cuba in there.

[Innovator]

Fuck you Bowflex, go join a real fucking gym

[BigDaddyCool]

It'd eat Shark Week

[KingofOldSchool]

Fuck you Bowflex, go join a real fucking gym

Or buy WiiFit.


:shifty:

[Innovator]

They could smuggle all of Mexico and half of Cuba in there.So thats where Rey Rey has been

[mrslackalack]

I like the idea of Stevie getting pushed. It seems to be getting over.

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh wow a CM Punk video

[Innovator]

Mic time and a video?

Thats a push

[KingofOldSchool]

So thats where Rey Rey has been

And Razor Ramon.

[Innovator]

:lol: Mabel becomes a gangsta and now hails from Harlem

[KingofOldSchool]

Mic time and a video?

Thats a push

Only if it leads to the ECW Title.

[Innovator]

And Razor Ramon.And Konnan's functioning kidney

[Innovator]

Only if it leads to the ECW Title.I'll be at Summerslam, I'll take a Cena win if it means Punker gets the title.

[BigDaddyCool]

Ewwwwwwww, why is BDV all greased up?

[mrslackalack]

I think this is Richards biggest push in about 10 years when he was ME ECW shows throughout the Spring of 97.

[Innovator]

Thought WWE can have only one face champ, so Punk winning would mean Cena losing...

[Innovator]

Ewwwwwwww, why is BDV all greased up?Thats just him sweating from the walk to the ring

[KingofOldSchool]

I'll be at Summerslam, I'll take a Cena win if it means Punker gets the title.

Punk will beat Morrison next week to get that title shot and of course Punk will job again at Summerslam.

[Innovator]

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER BOOGEN TIME

[mrslackalack]

Hes greased up from the 100 pre match cheeseburgers he ate. I think he hid an additonal 50 under his tit flap.

[BigDaddyCool]

A Stevie Richards push and Boogen?!?!?!?! Everything is coming up BDC!!!!!

[Innovator]

black on black crime

[mrslackalack]

Punk will prolly job to the Finger Poke Of Doom at SS considering the way he lost at GAB.

[Innovator]

Kelly is a pretty girl

When it comes to her dancing skills....she's a pretty girl

[Innovator]

Punk will prolly job to the Finger Poke Of Doom at SS considering the way he lost at GAB.No way....Morrison will catch him with a strand of hair from a hair flip and it'll KO Punk

[mrslackalack]

Do you all like ECW being an hr show or do you think they should expand their roster and move to a 2 hr slot?

[The One]

I'll be at Summerslam, I'll take a Cena win if it means Punker gets the title.
Blasphemy! Nothing could be better than a Cena loss. It's more spectacular and three times as rare as Stevie Wonder guessing what color shirt you have on while shooting an apple off the head of a midget who's balancing on a ball filled with pixie dust and rainbow gold.

[Innovator]

Blasphemy! Nothing could be better than a Cena loss. It's more spectacular and three times as rare as Stevie Wonder guessing what color shirt you have on while shooting an apple off the head of a midget who's balancing on a ball filled with pixie dust and rainbow gold.Now if that was Ray Charles, it'd be even more spectacular

[BigDaddyCool]

Really rainbow gold, not just crappy rainbow silver.

[Innovator]

I wonder how small Lashley will be when he returns

[Innovator]

Dancing to a classic

[BigDaddyCool]

Micheal Jackson, for cereal?

[The One]

Now if that was Ray Charles, it'd be even more spectacular

Stevie > Ray

[Innovator]

Mizard of Oz

[McLegend]

lol Michael Jackson

[Innovator]

Stevie > RayOf course, but Ray is dead.

[Innovator]

Now if Balls wins tonight, hells frozen over

[KingofOldSchool]

CM Miz

[BigDaddyCool]

What does Balls fear? A bath and a hair cut?

[McLegend]

Stevie > Ray
Yeah but Stevie has more of a chance of doing what you said, because you know he is alive.

So if Ray Charles did it then it would be probably the most spectular feat ever accomplished in the history of man.

[KingofOldSchool]

I wonder how small Lashley will be when he returns

He'll go from a Wayne Brady look-a-like to Wayne Brady.

[BigDaddyCool]

Stevie > Ray

It is common knowledge that Stevie Richards is better than Rey Mystero...so what is your point?

[Innovator]

Wayne Brady and Lashley do a tag team gimmick where they switch places mid match

[mrslackalack]

Poor Balls.

[The One]

But that would get in the way of my scientific measuring. It needed to be exactly three times as rare as a Cena lose. Well I know for a fact that Stevie has done that on a couple of occasions which explains the few times Cena's ever done the job, but I don't know if Ray ever did it...it's all logistics my friends.

[KingofOldSchool]

When has Balls won a match?

[KingofOldSchool]

Wayne Brady and Lashley do a tag team gimmick where they switch places mid match

It'd be the Killer Bees without masks.

[Innovator]

Honestly who wants to feud with the Miz?

[BigDaddyCool]

Wayne Brady and Lashley do a tag team gimmick where they switch places mid match

Well for it to truly work, Brady needs to do 'riods and Lashley needs a deeper voice.

[Innovator]

Elijah is talking after a Miz match, somewhere Anybody Thrilla is marking out

[KingofOldSchool]

First Scott Hall and now Jericho, Burke keeps ripping off people.

[Corndad]

ECW is by far the best of the 3 brands right now.

[McLegend]

But that would get in the way of my scientific measuring. It needed to be exactly three times as rare as a Cena lose. Well I know for a fact that Stevie has done that on a couple of occasions which explains the few times Cena's ever done the job, but I don't know if Ray ever did it...it's all logistics my friends.
This went clear over my head :-\

[mrslackalack]

Wayne Brady and Lashley should be a tag team.

[The One]

Lashley would need to blacken up a bit to get to Wayne's level...

[mrslackalack]

A Balls loss is just as common as a Cena win.

[Innovator]

Lashley would need to blacken up a bit to get to Wayne's level...His skin got stretched, when he gets out of the dryer he'll be nice and dark again

[BigDaddyCool]

Wayne Brady and Lashley should be a tag team.

Innovator already made that joke in this thread.

[Innovator]

A HHH return video....count only 1 tonight

[mrslackalack]

After this run in being in the ME poor Dreamer will prolly either job out to Big Daddy V or the Miz.

[BigDaddyCool]

After this run in being in the ME poor Dreamer will prolly either job out to Big Daddy V or the Miz.

Or fired.

But on the bright side, HHH is king of kings.

[mrslackalack]

I bet HHH return videos on ECW gives some fan out there the idea that HHH might go to ECW.

[Innovator]

I just thought of the "mind cup" from the Raven/Sandman shoot, where they spoke into a cup saying whatever is on the mind of the person who walked by them. Whenever Dreamer went by they sang his music

[mrslackalack]

Yeah I knew Innovator made the joke first, I was just agreeing with him.

[mrslackalack]

ECW is decent but you have to wonder how great it would be if Heyman returned and had TOTAL CONTROL with creative and storylines for the product?

[Innovator]

Superbad is gonna be amazing

[The One]

I bet HHH return videos on ECW gives some fan out there the idea that HHH might go to ECW.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*gasp*HAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha...ha...hehe....haha. ...oh mercy...

[Innovator]

ECW is decent but you have to wonder how great it would be if Heyman returned and had TOTAL CONTROL with creative and storylines for the product?Burke and Punk would be feuding over the title

[mrslackalack]

Looks like ECW wont beat the RAW thread this week.

[Innovator]

I predict Dreamer is going to sleep tonight

[Innovator]

Looks like ECW wont beat the RAW thread this week.I've been trying, no such luck

[Innovator]

ECW needs Morishima

[mrslackalack]

I know there is no tag division in ECW, but I thought they was going to start one up with some tag titles?

[Innovator]

I also wonder if Punker will ever use the Anaconda Vice again

[KingofOldSchool]

I know there is no tag division in ECW, but I thought they was going to start one up with some tag titles?

tag...ti...tles...?

[KingofOldSchool]

I also wonder if Punker will ever use the Anaconda Vice again

Probably not, they realzied only one guy can have a submission finisher.

[KingofOldSchool]

ECW needs Colt Cabana

[Innovator]

Punker going airborn

[Innovator]

The Saints in ECW would be too much for me

[KingofOldSchool]

The Saints in ECW would be too much for me

Punk/Cabana/Steel vs. Morrison/Burke/Cor Von

[The One]

Probably not, they realzied only one guy can have a submission finisher.

I know it's like...they've got STFU, and if they brought this back...well that'd be just too much...

[KingofOldSchool]

I know it's like...they've got STFU, and if they brought this back...well that'd be just too much...

It'd be SUBMISSION OVERLOAD.

[Corndad]

nice match so far

[KingofOldSchool]

CM Punk vs. MVP vs. Randy Orton in a "Kicks of DOOM" match

[KingofOldSchool]

WELCOME TO CHICAGO MOTHERFUCKER

[mrslackalack]

decent ME.

[KingofOldSchool]

Nice finishing sequence

[Corndad]

That was a good ME.

I loved that Powerbomb/Superplex spot.

[McLegend]

One would think since Ellijah Burke has faced CM punk about 50 times that he would have devloped a counter to the GTS by now.

[mrslackalack]

Well we will see a 15 min match between Punk/Morrison next week.

[mrslackalack]

I hope the third times the charm for Punk at Summerslam.

[The One]

One would think since Ellijah Burke has faced CM punk about 50 times that he would have devloped a counter to the GTS by now.

You're right, Tovo does think that.

[mrslackalack]

Decent show tonight.

[McLegend]

You're right, Tovo does think that.
I know you well Tovo.

[mrslackalack]

Thorn and Balls should wrestle next week in a 'whoever wins people will gasp match''

[Innovator]

Punker gets the nod of approval from Dreamer, good touch

[mrslackalack]

Think Punk/Morrison will be the only ECW brand match or SS or do you think they will throw every1 together on the brand in some kind of #1 contender Battle Royal or something?

[Innovator]

Punk/Vedder and Boogey/V

[BigDaddyCool]

Punk/Vedder and Boogen/V

Fixed

We call him Boogen around here. :mad:

[Anybody Thrilla]

Tazz is a shitty announcer.

Other than that, I had a good time with it. :y:

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Loved ECW again. The show as a whole was decent but that main event was just great. I would like to see Morrison against Punk again, but a 4 way between those 3 and Morrison at SS would be brilliant to watch and could steal the show if they get time to go at it.

[BigDaddyCool]

Tazz is a shitty announcer.

Other than that, I had a good time with it. :y:

That is better than Lawler and JR combined

[Anybody Thrilla]

Lawler's not terrible, but J.R.'s really lost it. My final straw with him was when he kept calling Beth Phoenix 'Jillian Hall' and vice versa. At first, I thought it was just a little slip and he'd correct himself, but he did it THE WHOLE FUCKING MATCH. Lawler at least had the sense to try and subtly correct him, but no dice.

I think I'd prefer Styles by himself. I can't tell if Tazz being a dumbass is legit, or if it's just his character or whatever.
