Oh goody...Shannon Moore is coming to ECW... I cannot wait...

Did I miss something again?

Also, I like the chant directed at Flair.

Apparently, you have... It showed bried shot of him (he did not say anything) and it said "Shannon Moore is coming to ECW."

Also, I must have missed something. I mean, I watched Ric Flair's entrance, however, I did not hear what the audience was chanting...what were they chanting?

Well I guess I could be wrong considering that I've missed so much. But I heard an "old man Flair" chant while the ref was "searching" him.

I thought they were saying "All hail Flair" but I could be wrong...

They started chanting "Thank you Flair" at the end of the match.

I have to applaud the effort of Ric Flair and the Big Show.  That match turned out better than anything I could have expected out of the massive Show and a 97 year old man.  I wasn't too happy with the match in the beginning, but I'm glad I stuck with it, because it got very fun once Flair started hitting low blows.  Then, both men hitting the thumbtacks, I have to applaud the effort.  Indeed, "thank you, Flair."  The match also served its purpose in the grander scheme better than I could have imagined.

All in all, not a great show, but I don't regret watching it, either.

I liked tonight's crowd.

I really liked Heyman's opening promo.  Heyman has always been a good talker and an even better salesman and he has me interested in where things go from here.

Test vs Tommy was meh. 

I skipped Kelly and whatsherface and I don't regret that.

Sabu vs Justin Credible was all right for what it was, but deserved a lot more.  I was glad to at least hear Styles acknowledge the history between these two, even if it was nothing more than a passing mention.  A DQ in ECW?

Again, I liked the main event and really appreciated the effort.

Well as I have said a few times, I wasn't paying full atention so it probably was "All hail Flair" and not "Old man Flair"

I did watch Flair V. Show fully, and I do believe it turned out as a good match. Unfortunetly that's really all I can comment on considering the show didn't hold my attention until that match.

I liked a bunch of stuff from tonight's show...

1. Kelly and Sandman caning were both taken care of at once, wasted less time.

2. Awesome promo by Heyman.

3. Sabu not caring about the rules = good. I don't care for the rules either...

4. Dreamer/Test. It had good back and forth action. Too bad the no extreme rules match thing hurt it...a lot. Dreamer could have made the match interesting.

5. Flair...nuff said.

6. The main event was something you don't usually see on FREE TV!! That's shocking...and good.

7. CM Punk is coming...wooo!

8. Moooooorrreeee!!! Moooorreeeee!!! Actually...this goes on my "don't care" list. It could be good for ECW though so let's not put it on the bad list just yet.

9. The whole vampire thing worked IMO...it was weird...but it worked in setting "Fertig" up as the vampire he is.

Bad List:

1. Kelly...although the dancing was....**drools** you know what I mean...

2. Only matches labeled as "extreme" are extreme....UGH!!!!

I can't think of anything else. It was a good show overall.

Randy getting tacked was so mush more satisfying

Punk not wrestling makes me a sad panda.keiblerfan69

My thoughts:

Like trick-man said, I will never doubt Flair again. Flaiur has proven me wrong twice now, and the whole "Can Flair do it?" angle is more entertaining than I would have believed. Hell, he made a match with Big Show great. That alone deserves respect. And uh, tac in the back of the head, that had to hurt.

Sabu vs. Credible: For what it's worth, it was ok. I wish it was longer, but it did show that Sabu is still a rule-defiant maniac.

The Expose and Sandman in the same segment: cool. It only took up about 8 minutes of our lives.

Dreamer vs. Test was good, but I still want to see a full fledged contest between the two. I think there is serious potential in this fued.

Punk and Moore both coming to ECW, sweet. I wonder if they will be used properly. We can only pray.

Overall, IMO, this has been the best ECW yet.

That CM Punk promo was weird. It was like they were making him out to be a hippie. "I wanna beat the system man, my tattoos have their own story.."

For God's sakes just let him wrestle!

I am glad that his career is kicking off by showing off his charisma. He sure made a "declaration" during his promo last night which is building up CM Punk as a star of the future in the WWE.

Oh and after just watching the main-event between Show and Flair, I have really learnt my lesson to never doubt Flair. Surprisingly, he can still draw.

I know that Ric Flair had a tack stuck in his head and it hurt, but Abyss would be angry reading all your posts. He had about 6 tacks stuck in his head at Turning Point 2004 against Monty Brown when Monty throw him head firts into the tacks, and they even showed the tacks being removed from his head backstage.

Sorry, I just had to bring that up. Anyway, I was surprised how the match went. Right when I saw the barbed wire in the trash can, I just knew I had to keep watching for something good. Surprisingly good match from these two.

No one's saying Abyss ain't tough, they're just saying how they all doubted Flair and he proved them all wrong. Besides, a tack to the head hurts a lot more for a 60 year old than a man of Abyss's age.
