[Q1]

-After a quick recap of the very short match and post-match angle with Matt & Jeff Hardy and Mark Henry & Tony Atlas on Sunday night at SummerSlam, the ECW opening aired. Todd Grisham introduced the show. Matt Striker called it a huge night, one of the biggest ECW broadcasts ever.

1 -- MIZ & JOHN MORRISON & CHAVO GUERRERO (w/Bam Neely) vs. EVAN BOURNE & SUPER CRAZY & TOMMY DREAMER

Grisham touted three former ECW Champions involved in this match. Crazy opened with some nice moves against Morrison. Striker compared Miz & Morrison to the Graham Brothers and Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard. Bourne tagged in and gave Miz a huracanrana off the top rope. Miz tagged in Chavo as Neely distracted Bourne. When Striker said Morrison calls himself the Medicine Man of Manipulation, Grisham asked how many names one can call himself. Dreamer got a hot tag at 4:00 and cleaned house on Miz and Morrison. He gave Miz an always less than graceful bulldog followed by a powerslam for a near fall. Chaos broke out. All three heels leaped at Dreamer one after another and each ended up backdropped to the floor. Crazy then leaped and flipped onto the heels. Bourne followed with a back flip off the top rope onto the heels. Striker asked if it gets any better than that. A big "ECW, ECW" chant broke out. Dreamer threw Miz into the ring, but as Dreamer followed, Morrison grabbed his leg. Miz gave him a neckbreaker and scored the pin.

WINNER: Miz & Morrison & Chavo in 5:00.

STAR RATING: *1/2 -- Good action bell to bell with some spectacular highspots.

-They showed Ricky Ortiz excitedly heading toward the entrance tunnel.

[Q2]

-The announcers again plugged the Hardy-Henry rematch. Grisham also plugged tickets going on sale Saturday for Cyber Sunday in Phoenix, Ariz.

2 -- RICKY ORTIZ vs. GAVIN SPEARS

Striker said Ortiz is calling his fans the Rick 'n' Rollers. Striker noticed some rally towels in the crowd. An inset promo aired with Spears who said he's the crown jewel (not the gold standard) in ECW's new talent initiative. He said he doesn't need gimmicks or rally towels to get noticed because he has something Ortiz doesn't have - talent. Striker said he was emailing back and forth with Gavin trying to learn something about him. He said he's a former blackjack dealer and hockey player and enjoyed watching Rick Martel and Rick Rude. These little promos for new guys give a match with an unknown more meaning, borrowing a bit from how UFC creates interest in matches among its fans with unknown or little known fighters. Striker introduced Aaron Davis as a new referee for ECW. Spears put Ortiz in a cobra clutch. Ortiz escaped and elbowed Spears in the head. Striker said he likes to see young superstars in their infancy because some of them will become big stars and we can say we saw them when. It's how John Cena started. Ortiz rallied. He played to the crowd, made a big O with his hands, and gave him a running splash, inspired perhaps by the immobile One Man Gang? Talk about a lame finisher. I hope that's intentional and part of his character. Decent match otherwise.
