ECW on Sci-Fi 3/18/08

-From Biloxi, MS

-Match 1: Kane VS Elijah Burke

-Burke lands a couple quick body shots, but Kane shrugs them off and kicks Burke in the face. Kane hits a backbreaker, and claws at Burke's face. Burke fights back, hitting a dropkick and more body shots. Burke goes for the Elijah Express, but Kane catches him with a chokeslam for the win. Not bad. Too short to mean much though.

-Mark Henry shakes hands with Armando Estrada backstage. Chavo Guerrero walks in, and asks what's up. Armando lets Chavo know about all the big men that will be in the WrestleMania battle royale. Chavo is concerned. Colin Delaney enters to ask Armando about a contract. Chavo gets annoyed and berates Delaney. Armando books Chavo VS Colin for the main event, non-title, but if Colin wins, he gets a contract.

-Floyd Mayweather video airs.

-Match 2: Kofi Kingston VS James Curtis

-Short squash. Kofi fights out of an armbar and finishes with the usual, hitting Trouble in Paradise on the second try after Curtis ducks the first attempt.

-CM Punk tries to get Festus to snap out of his coma. It doesn't work.

-Match 3: WWE Tag Team Champions John Morrison and The Miz & Shelton Benjamin VS Jessie, Festus, & CM Punk

-Morrison gets worked over by Jessie & Festus. Jessie hits a sliding dropkick for two. M & M get sent outside, and Punk hits a springboard dive. Benjamin stops Jessie from hitting a dive, but then tries to punch Festus, who grabs Benjamin's arm and launches him over the top, onto Benjamin's own partners.

Commercial break.

Back from break, Punk is working on Miz. Punk hits a springboard clothesline on Miz for two. Punk becomes the face-in-peril. Punk makes the hot tag and Festus cleans house. Festus avoids the Reality Check, and hits a one-man flapjack for the pin. Pretty decent tag match.

-RAW REBOUND: HHH books Cena/Orton VS the RAW roster, then pedigrees them both afterward.

-Big Show video. Lots of time killing on this episode.

-Match 4: ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero VS Colin Delaney

-Chavo pounds away, but Colin surprised him with a hiptoss and a dropkick. Chavo immediately regains control. Chavo hits two of the Three Amigos, but misses the frog splash. Colin gets two off that, but Chavo finishes right after with a Gory Bomb. Not a bad main event, with a good underdog story to carry it.

-Nothing bad, but nothing spectacular here. Too much time waisting killed the flow of the show.
