We open once again with ECW's answer to the Lizard King, World champion John Morrison. More of the same blather as last week, including a :15 squash over an unnamed rent-a-jobber billed as the "greatest athlete in Arizona". Morrison name-checked Cardinals QB Matt Leinart and disabled Diamondbacks pitcher Randy Johnson, as well as the obligatory Paris Hilton joke. Well, John Cena got shots in on Lindsay Lohan & Britney Spears last night.

In time, Tommy Dreamer, Elijah Burke, & CM Punk all come out, demanding to take the 15:00 of Fame Challenge. Claiming he'd just wrestled a "grueling" match (only in his mind), Morrison backs off, then, following Cena's lead last night, makes the main event, a 3-way among Dreamer, Punk, & Burke.

Match 2: Stevie Richards vs. Kevin Thorn Return match from last week. It even follows the same blueprint. Thorn dominates from the opening bell, and even busts out the Shock Treatment and the Train Wreck for near falls. However, Thorn misses a corner charge, and Richards cradles him. Lightning has struck twice for Richards! Winner: Stevie Richards.

Match 3: Big Daddy V (w/Matt Striker) vs. Brandon Gadsen, Jeff Michaels, & John Orstrund Squashola #2. Gadsen has new boots after Cryme Tyme auctioned off the pair he wore last night. Of course, it doesn't change his luck. Total domination for BDV. Winner: Big Daddy V.

Post-match, Boogeyman returned with some new makeup, frothing at the mouth. Striker & BDV bailed out. Count on Boogeyman vs. Big Daddy V at Summerslam.

Extreme Expose dances to some 20 year old Michael Jackson track, "The Way You Make Me Feel". Layla then introduces the Miz.

Match 4: Mike Mizanin (w/Extreme Expose) vs. Balls Mahoney Could Mahoney make it 2 in a row for the ECW Originals? Uh, no, but he gave it a good shot. He had Miz reeling, and even scored a near fall with the Nutcracker Suite, prevented only by Miz getting his foot on the rope just in the nick of time, although, Miz screwed up by putting it there before the count, then pulling it off and putting it back. Miz then hit his new finisher, a knee-lift into a neckbreaker, after Mahoney missed a corner charge. Winner: Mike Mizanin.

Earlier tonight, we saw the same CM Punk vidpack that has aired before. Up now is a montage of Tommy Dreamer, using "vintage ECW" footage from the glory years.

Elijah Burke claims it'd take an hour for all his highlights. While John Morrison aspires to be JIM Morrison, Burke thinks he's Muhammad Ali. Unfortunately, while he can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, his won-loss record of late is more like that of a bedbug.

They're showing the Triple H "bionics" video again. I'm not sure if that's Vince trying to imitate Richard Anderson's dialogue from "The Six Million Dollar Man", or if they hired a better impressionist. Why it's airing on ECW, only the McMahon family knows for sure.

Match 5: CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke vs. Tommy Dreamer Easily the best match on the show. Heck, the best match of the week so far. This was the definition of "every man for himself". Near falls a'plenty. Dreamer pulled out Dean Malenko's Texas Cloverleaf finisher on Burke, but Punk saved with a buzzkick to the head. There was a tower of doom spot with these three, with Dreamer superplexing Burke and Punk powerbombing Dreamer. Burke wound up with a busted lip somewhere along the way. It came down to Burke & Punk, and it ended with Burke in an all-too-familiar position. Flat on his back, knocked out after Go To Sleep. Winner: CM Punk.

Punk now faces John Morrison in a 15:00 of Fame Challenge next week. Good show of sportsmanship by Dreamer, raising the hand of Punk as the show ended.
