ECW on Sci-Fi
July 17

1. We see the show open with some representative of Jonny Nitro's telling everyone they will never see Nitro on ECW ever again and that Nitro will give them more information in his "press conference.

2. Match- CM Punk def. Elijah Burke with the GTS 6/10

Solid match between these two but we've seen a lot better from them in their past matches. This was no comparrison to their 2 out of 3 falls match a few weeks ago.

3. Matt Striker comes to the ring and talks a little about the Boogeyman then introduces Big Daddy V.

Match- Big Daddy V def. Chick Storm with a Tilt-a-Whirl Slam 3/10
This was your basic squash match. I have to say I really like Big Vis's new gimmick. When I heard he was coming to ECW I didn't like it one bit but having Big Daddy V is a lot better than the "World's Largest Love Machine".

4. The Miz cut a pretty amusing promo saying he's such a huge ladies man and that women want him and men fear him.

5. Extreme Expose....

6. Match- Kevin Thorn def. Tommy Dreamer by throwing him into the ring post... 5/10
I though this match was OK but I am so sick of Dreamer losing in the stupidest ways. Last week Dreamer lost to Nitro with a drop toe hold on a trash can and in a match with Kevin Thorn a few weeks ago he lost after falling off the top rope. I'd like to see Dreamer get some sort of push eventually. Thorn hit an Original Sin after the match just for kicks and giggles I guess.

7. Jonny Nitro comes out with new music and a really cool looking new outfit. He said he's changing his name to his birth name John Morrison. He goes on to say that he's been doing great things since he was born. He proclaims himself the new face of ECW and that he will defeat Punk at the Great American Bash. Morrison then went on making fun of CM Punk which brought Punk out. Morrison then took Punk out with the mic and hit his neck breaker.
10/10
____________________________________________________________________

A pretty nice show going into the Bash. Definitely some good hype surrounding the ECW title match. Some solid matches but of course theirs always the standard squash match almost every week. John Morrison's promo was pretty great indeed getting him a huge amount of heat going into the PPV.

Overall- 7/10
