Marcus Cor Van & Kevin Thorn (w/Ariel) vs. Rob Van Dam & Sabu. A sneak preview of the 8-man tag we'll see at Wrestlemania. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite as good as it should've been, largely because it was too short. Ariel now has green highlights in her hair. Doesn't fit, to tell you the truth. It could've gone either way, but then Thorn detained Sabu long enough for Cor Van to hit the front body block (The Pounce), the impact of which nearly sent Sabu to the floor. That was all she wrote. Winners: Marcus Cor Van & Kevin Thorn. I don't think the irony's lost that Cor Van & Thorn had just beaten a pair of former ECW World tag team champions. With rumors that the tag titles may finally be reactivated, this could be a preview of a future tournament.

Gene Snitsky vs. Mike Toller.Total squash. 'Nuff said. Winner: Gene Snitsky.

Since it wasn't done last night, Joey & Tazz announce the latest inductee into the Hall of Fame---The Original Sheik. That makes two posthumous inductions this year, with Curt Hennig being the other.

CM Punk vs. Hardcore Holly. Holly ended Punk's TV winning streak just a few weeks ago, and these guys weren't here to compare notes on Snitsky. The difference maker in this match, though, was the involvement of the New Breed, specifically Thorn and Elijah Burke. Burke started off on the stage, then made his way down to ringside. He detained ref Scott Armstrong long enough for Thorn to come through the crowd and bounce Holly's neck off the top rope right in full view of Punk. Not sure what to make of this development, Mr. Straight Edge hit the Go to Sleep on Holly to end it. Post-match, Punk was again approached by the persistent Burke, trying to recruit Punk into the New Breed. Punk doesn't need to be associated with these clowns. Winner: CM Punk.

Elijah Burke vs. Tommy Dreamer.Now, the ex-boxer has Matt Striker in his corner, with Sandman seconding Dreamer. It's funny to hear Joey & Tazz talk about "youth" in the New Breed, considering the oldest member of the team is Cor Van, the ex-NFLer. Neither cornerman was a real factor in the match, which is a good thing. Burke blocked a DDT by holding the ropes, but as Dreamer struggled to get back up, Burke went across the ring, pulled down his kneepads, and hit a double-knee drive to the back, known as the Elijah Express, and that was enough to get the win. Winner: Elijah Burke.

Extreme Expose grooves to the beat of a remixed version of Def Leppard's 1987 hit, "Pour Some Sugar on Me". Kelly Kelly is still way out of step.

Bobby Lashley vs. Chris Masters (Non-title) For all of Masters' bluster, and to use one of Keith Olbermann's pet phrases from his ESPN days, the "Masterpiece" was beaten like a rented goalie, or in this case, a rented jobber. Masters thought he had Lashley primed for the Masterlock, but Lashley avoided that and hit a full-nelson slam (called a half-nelson slam by Joey). After a corner charge, the champion hit the Dominator 2.0 to wrap it up. Winner: Bobby Lashley.
