Tonight we will have a confrontation between Kane and the Big Show as well as a match between CM Punk and John Morrison.

The sounds of Ireland fill the arena which can only mean the presence of one 4’4” wrestler: Hornswoggle!

Video recap is shown of Estrada being pinned three times by Finlay, Colin Delaney, and Hornswoggle respectively last week.

Hornswoggle v. Armando Estrada

Hornswoggle mocks Estrada by taking out a cigar and breaking it in half. Hornswoggle runs out of the ring and runs along the outside and then grabs a bucket from under the ring and unloads beads all over the floor which Estrada slips on. Once Hornswoggle gets back in the ring he hits Estrada with a fake shelele then squirts him with a little water gun. Swoggle then jumps out of the ring and goes under the ring, Estrada tries to grab him but instead Hornswoggle emerges from the other end of the ring and Estrada realizes that the man he pulls out from under the ring is Finlay! Finlay squirts Estrada with a large water gun, then throws him into the ring. Hornswoggle climbs to the top then hits the tadpole splash for the pin.

Winner via Tadpole Splash: Hornswoggle

After the match Tazz walks to the side of the ring and does an impromptu interview with Finlay asking him what it is like under the ring.

Finlay: There’s leprechauns, little people, hobbits, fat people, skinny people, there’s even people your size under there.

Tazz: Well one day I gotta hang out with you under there, sounds pretty good. Well it’s better than where I am now.

I’m sure that this is not exactly what Tod Gordon had in mind all those years ago when he was working on ECW. But I mean come on, this stuff is brilliant.

We came back for a plug of the new issue of WWE magazine as well as a look back at the WWE.com exclusive dance that Layla did for the audience during the commercial.

Matt Striker v. Evan Bourne

Video recap is shown of Evan getting the pin over Mike Knox in his tag team match up with Kofi against Shelton and Knox.

Matt Striker tries to put a headlock on Bourne and Bourne flips out of it. Evan hits a quick headscissors on the former Social Studies Teacher. Evan finds himself the victim of a spinning neckbreaker while his legs are on the top ropes and his head is plowed to the mat. Advantage Striker. Striker goes for the pin and barely gets a two count. Matt Striker hits a “that was nice” and goes for a pin but only gets a two. (In keeping with my boycott of Tazz and Adamle’s refusal to call moves by their names I put in what surely must be the name of the move, because that is what Tazz called it) Striker puts Bourne into a headlock. Evan jumps over Striker’s back to escape and then hits a high knee. Evan bounces off the ropes and hits a viscous Hurricarana. Advantage Bourne. Striker’s back is on the mat, so Evan jumps for a beautiful standing moonsault but Striker kicks him in the groin for the block. Wow.

Evan is in the corner and Striker runs over but Bourne kicks him which gives him the momentum to flip over onto the top rope. Matt is on his back and Evan stands up on the top rope and jumps for a Shooting Star Press!! Evan Bourne gets the pin. Game, Set and Match!

Winner via Shooting Star Press: Evan Bourne

This match was absolutely beautiful to watch. I have a lot of thoughts about this that I am going to put in the ECW Thoughts. I have never felt so excited and angry at one thing as I do right now.

After the match Mike Knox runs into the ring and nails Evan Bourne with

At this point my computer crashed and I completely miss the next 20 minutes of ECW. I am going to do my best to fill you in with what happened thanks to reports given by WWE.com. For those wondering why my computer matters, I watch ECW through a TV tuner that allows me to record and rewind etc. Complaints can be sent directly to Hewlett-Packard.

Credit WWE.com:
“Knox’s assault on Bourne fired him up for his upcoming bout with Kingston, but their match was interrupted by the Superstar who ended Kingston’s winning streak – Shelton Benjamin. ECW’s Gold Standard attacked the Jamaican Superstar mid-match, leading to Kingston’s win by disqualification. But during their scuffle, Benjamin accidentally kicked Knox, allowing Kingston to escape the ring.”

When my service returns I find myself smack dab in the middle of the John Morrison & CM Punk Match.

John Morrison v. CM Punk

Picking up from where my TV service returned: John Morrison’s head is placed in between Punk’s legs, but Morrison hits a fireman’s carry to get out of the move. Morrison bounces off the rope and hits a knee to Punks face. Morrison attempts a cover, but Punk kicks out. Morrison hits Punk with a nice backbreaker. Morrison attempts a vertical suplex but Punk manages to get out of it and whips Morrison into the corner. Morrison skates out on to the apron in order to dodge the move but when he attempts to jump back into the ring, Punk catches Morrison on his shoulders and hits the G.T.S.

Winner via GTS: Punk

After the match Miz comes out and announces Morrison as STILL one half of the WWE Tag Champions and puts over their match against Finlay and Hornswoggle at Night of Champions.

Up Next: Confrontation between Kane and the Big Show

Remember to go to WWE.com to register for this week’s Million Dollar Mania.

In the ring Teddy Long is putting over the Big Show v. Kane match at night of Champions.

The Big Show makes his way to the ring, and he really is not looking too pleased. The Big Red Machine on the other hand, is looking a bit smirky on his way to the ring. Actually, he doesn’t look to pleased either. Teddy lets us know that we are now witnessing a “forum” for the two opponents to discuss whatever they would like.

Big Show talks about how they have been opponents in the past and that Kane has the ECW Championship which he is going to take back at Night of Champions. Kane puts over the Big Show’s dominance but lets him know that the Big Show will not be winning the ECW Championship. Kane let’s Show know that Show has no idea what Kane is willing to do to keep his ECW Championship. Big Show puts over Kane as a sadistic freak but lets him know that he went through hell to get the title shot. Kane lets him know that hell is standing right here in front of him. The two are almost standing nose to nose and Teddy Long is getting nervous.

Mark Henry’s music hits! Henry apparently knows how to talk and lets the two in the ring know that they are going to need to save their strength because if he isn’t drafted Monday Night, he is going after the ECW Title. Kane and the Big Show proceed to grab Mark Henry’s neck and hit a double chokeslam as ECW goes off the air!

ECW was a little better and had more substance..

I liked some of the matches and then some of the stuff they did, like Horn.

Yeah, he had the cigar and imitated him.

First match was Horn vs Estrada.

I found this match boring, personally. i dont see Horn being a wrestler and Estrada sucks.

In the end Horn wins, like i care who won out of both.

Striker vs Bourne, boring match.

It was ok, boh men had their good points in the match, but mostly Striker(shocking!)

In the end Striker actually picks a victory up.

John Morrison v. CM Punk

Another match between them.

I liked the match and they both still show their athleticism in the ring.

Let it just go on record that i absoloutely loathe hornswoggle. That filthy little Bastard. You may not notice it, but he's corrupting the youth of WWE fans under 15 years of age. Not me of course. I'm on to you Hornswoggle. Shame on you.
ECW was a snooze fest. There are no hardcore elements at all. I remember a long time ago my uncle showed me a match (Original ECW) where some dude stabbed another guy like 20 times in like a standard match. How did it go from that to Limbo contests? Not complaining, i don't want to see someone get stabbed on TV because, you know... it's gross and it's horrible. But come on ECW. You used to rock. Now you Suck.

Well, we have then Kane vs Show at Night of Champions and winner faces Henry.

I liked the confrontation, they both told each other off and then Henry comes and he gets double chokeslammed...
