We open with the same vidpack that opened Raw last night,
but with footage from Raw added. Some of this would be replayed
later in the show. We debut a new opening montage that includes
Marcus Cor Van and subtracts Test, who was fired earlier today.
Sabu vs. Mr. Kennedy [Money In The Bank Qualifying
Match] This match is being contested under "extreme
rules", but it's too short to really matter much. Sabu
brings a table & chair into play. Don't you wish there
was a whole living room ensemble under that ring? Anyway,
Kennedy avoids the wood, not once, mind you, but twice. The
second time, Sabu comes off the top, hoping for a legdrop,
but puts himself through. Kennedy cashes in and hits a DDT
on the broken half of the table to secure a clean pin and
advance to Wrestlemania. As with last night's MITB qualifier,
they waited until both men were in the ring before Justin
Roberts could do introductions. Winner: Mr. Kennedy.
Balls Mahoney vs. Matt Striker. Not much
to this one. Mahoney, newly clean shaven, was on his way to
squashing Striker when Gene Snitsky hit the ring and destroyed
him, leading to ref Mike Posey calling for the bell. Snitsky
then turned his anger on Striker post-match when the ex-school
teacher got up and assessed the damage done to his opponent.
Winner: Balls Mahoney via DQ.
Chairman Wackjob--Vince McMahon to the rest of you---has decreed
that if Bobby Lashley can't beat Hardcore Holly in 5 minutes
or less, he loses the ECW title. Interviewed by Rebecca DiPietro,
Holly is confident that he'll win the title regardless. Once
again, to quote Hemingway, the best laid plans of mice &
men often go astray.......
CM Punk vs. Stevie Richards. Yes, the "clueless
putz" still has a pulse. Hasn't been seen in a while,
and thinks he can match kicks with Punk. Give me a break.
Talk about being out of your league! To his credit, Richards
did hold his own for a while, but then Punk got the offense
going, and hit the Go To Sleep to put away Stevie, leaving
the Originals with a 1-3 ledger for the night. Winner: CM
Punk. Extreme Expose perfoms prior to the main event. Kelly's
out of step by a fraction. Could it be that she's got something
else on her mind?
Bobby Lashley vs. Hardcore Holly [ECW World
Championship Steel Cage Match] To prove how desperate Vince
McMahon is, he overplays his hand yet again, and sends Intercontinental
champion Umaga out to try to distract Lashley. It doesn't
work. Lashley treats Umaga as if the Samoan is in the waiting
room at the doctor's office. Anyway, Umaga throws a chair
into the ring and Holly crowns the champ with it. Unfortunately,
one shot is all Holly would get. Lashley gets the chair and
hits several shots before finishing Hardcore with the running
powerslam.Winner: Bobby Lashley, in 4:26. Lashley dove through
the cage post match, dropping the portion of the cage on top
of Umaga, and both men were on the floor to end the show. |
