So the show opens with Punk talking about how he ruined Chavos Mariachi Fiesta last week and goes on to state he wants to invoke his rematch clause later in the night. However our ‘respectable’ champion comes out and states no rematch will take place till No Way Out, so at least we have that to look forward to! This leads to Armando Estrada to come out and say Chavo will indeed face Punk tonight, but not in any match…a gulf of Mexico match, the point of this match folks is to throw your opponent in to the Gulf of Mexico to gain the win, this however won’t be for the title.
We’ll start the matches with the divas tag match between Victoria and Layla facing Kelly Kelly and Michelle McCool, what a way to start the matches this week? Thats what i thought,i feel sorry for the divas really all of them are going to be humiliated by that horny devil of a chairman the WWE has. Well Victoria and Layla got the win over the Kelly and McCool and seem to have the edge to this rivalry having drafted Lena Yadas services and she proved the difference tripping Kelly so Victoria got the pin, what a finish to that match.
So things are looking optimistic for this show so on to the next match and we have John Morrison facing the ECW Innovator of violence himself Tommy Dreamer, this match saw Dreamer pretty much dominate Morrison for most of the match, until the Miz (probably still annoyed about being eliminated from the Rumble by Hornswoggle) dsitracted Dreamer from outside allowing Morrison to get the pinfall over Dreamer. Dreamer wasn’t alone folks he had Colin Delaney with him, doesn’t he just reak of Mickey Whipwreck?
Kofi Kingston wrestled against this week against James Curtis, this match was pretty much a replica of Kingstons previous ECW matches and yes he ended up with the win with a pin fall over Mr Curtis.
The main event has arrived,C.M Punk and Chavo is up next in the Gulf of Mexico match. The match pretty much starts off outside the ring and eventually ends up in the crowd and starts to lead outside the arena. The ending came when Punk hit the Go to sleep on Chavo sending him in to the Gulf giving Punk the win.
To be fair this weeks viewing of ECW was not to bad minus the divas match which you know if just there as a filler really, as are most of the divas matches. I quite liked the idea of Dreamer vs Morrison and although i was first skeptical about the Gulf of Mexico match it turned out to make the show better then expected in my eyes.
