June 27th, 2006
The Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City


Interview:
Edge makes his way to the ring. Tonight, he has news for everyone: For the second time this year, Edge is going to "shock the world" by winning tonight's Four Way Dance. It doesn't matter whether Angle or Cena makes it to the match. It doesn't matter if Sabu is still injured. Edge is walking out a champion tonight, and no one can stop him. You don't become a Rated R Superstar by following the rules, you simply make your own.

[Main Event Qualifier]: No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
Kurt Angle defeated John Cena when John Cena passed out in the Ankle Lock in 0:08:52.
Rating: **** 1/4
[Sabu interfered against Kurt Angle.]

Match Observation:
Paul Heyman will catch a lot of flack for claiming that Kurt Angle isn't extreme. He survived a Ladder match against Sabu. He survived a hellacious Submission match against the Human Suplex Machine, Tazz. And now, Kurt Angle has defeated a fairly fresh John Cena in under ten minutes (even after a surprise attack from Sabu), insuring that he'll be wrestling for the ECW Championship later tonight. Angle, even bruised and battered, has to be considered a favorite in tonight's main event.

Post-Match:
Tazz comes out to congratulate Kurt Angle, not just for beating John Cena, something that few people have been able to pull off, but for beating Tazz last week. Not only that, he knocked the Human Suplex Machine out. He assures Kurt that it isn't over between them, but he'll let Angle deal with his ECW Championship match first.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Handicap-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
The Big Show defeated Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman when Show pinned Sandman with the Choke Slam in 0:22:33.
Rating: **

Match Observation:
The combined force of the Sandman and Dreamer wasn't enough for the angered Extreme Giant. The Big Show managed to survive a barrage of cane shots and deal his own form of punishment to put down the ECW Originals. Tommy Dreamer was taken out with a Choke Slam over the top-rope through a table, leaving the Sandman by himself to deal with the Big Show. Unfortunately, even a cane shot to the lower regions of the Big Show was not enough to stop the rampaging monster. The Sandman, favoring his back, had to be helped out of the ring following three Choke Slams.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
Roadkill pinned C.W. Anderson after a belly-to-belly suplex in 0:13:33.
Rating: *** 3/4

Match Observation:
The Amish Chicken-Plucker picks up a win over the winless Anderson in his first singles match since ECWs relaunch. Roadkill looks to be in the best shape of his career and looks like he could go far in the new ECW.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
Shelly Martinez pinned Jazz with the Tornado DDT in 0:07:03.
Rating: *** 1/4
[A masked individual interfered against Jazz.]

Match Observation:
"The Voluptous" Shelly Martinez, in her ECW debut match, picks up the win over the veteran Jazz. Of course, the masked assailant who attacked Jazz certainly didn't hurt Shelly's chances.

Post-Match:
Shelly runs up to the masked attacker, who removes his mask to reveal a bleach-blond Kevin Mordecai. He proclaims that "God's work is still unfinished," before passionately kissing Shelly.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match with Managers Banned From Ringside:
The Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks (Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney) and Stevie Richards defeated The Full Blooded Italians (Big Guido, Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke) when B. Mahoney pinned Mamaluke after a power bomb in 0:27:01.
Rating: ****

Match Observation:
In honor of his partners, Stevie proclaimed himself as "The Softcore Chair Swingin' Idiot." Nothing could be further from the truth as Stevie may have taught a thing or two to Balls and Axl about how to wield a steel chair. Within five minutes, Richards had knocked Little Guido out after a horrific shot to the head. The "Sicilian Shooter" had to be carried out of the ring, leaving his fellow F.B.I. members alone against the trio of Richards, Balls, and Axl. The three took their time in seeking their vengeance against their attackers from the past two weeks.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match with Managers Banned From Ringside:
Trinity pinned Francine after a rana in 0:14:56.
Rating: ** 1/2

Match Observation:
Francine put up quite the effort, but came up a little short in her match against Trinity. Francine managed to kick out of two moonsaults before being pinned with a rana.

Post-Match:
Big Guido, still bleeding, comes to the ring to congratulate Trinity on her win and lets everyone know that Little Guido is fine. However, that "chair swinging blowhard" Richards is going to pay for hurting a member of his family. Next week, Big Guido takes on Stevie Richards in a Chairshot Survival Match.

Interview:
As Justin Roberts prepares to announce the next match, Paul Heyman rushes to the ring and whispers something to Roberts and takes the microphone from him. Heyman announces that the following Four Way Dance is now an elimination match, and it is SOLELY for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. The Defending Champion: Rob Van Dam. The first challenger: Sabu. The second challenger: Kurt Angle. The final challenger and newest addition to the ECW roster: Edge!

No-Countout-No-DQ-Four Corners Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
Edge defeated Rob Van Dam, Sabu and Kurt Angle:
x Edge beat K. Angle via the Spear in 0:08:20
x RVD beat Sabu via the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:10:34
x Edge beat RVD via the Spear in 0:30:42
Rating: ****
(Edge won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.)

Match Observation:
The injuries that Sabu and Angle have racked up in the past two weeks have caught up to the two superstars, who were eliminated early on by Edge and Van Dam. If Edge was hoping that RVD was still feeling the pain from his match with John Cena last week, he was surely disappointed. Rob was at his best, eliminating Sabu mere moments after Edge had put down Kurt Angle. RVD almost sneaked out a win with a crafty roll-up, countering a spear attempt by Edge. Eventually Edge got the upper-hand on Van Dam when he slipped while attempting a slingshot senton splash, that seemingly took RVD out of his game. Rob managed to counter a DDT attempt by Edge, but it was merely a ploy to make RVD vunerable to a spear and the win for the newest ECW star.

Post-Match:
With a smirk on his face and standing over Rob Van Dam, Edge lifts the ECW World Heavyweight Championship over his head. The Rated "X" Superstar is here to stay.

I like what you got going here with your vision of ECW. Edge would be such a perfect addition to ECW. He's got that smartass personality that Shane Douglas always excelled at portraying.

It also appears John Cena is more motivated in ECW to put on good matches. Although, it doesn't look like he's got too many wins in ECW.

Voluptuous is an understatement with Shelly Martinez. I actually prefer the Kevin Thorn look and gimmick but the worker Kevin Fertig, despite gimmick, is good.

Making Edge apart of ECW came about because running the main event match as scheduled was impossible. And I didn't want to have Edge win, then go about handing over championships and what-not, so I decided very last minute (as I was booking the match!) to keep Edge with ECW.

Heh, Cena is really only here for a short stint. Nothing more than an excuse to (eventually) take the WWE Title back to RAW.

Voluptuous is an understatement with Shelly Martinez. I actually prefer the Kevin Thorn look and gimmick but the worker Kevin Fertig, despite gimmick, is good.
I didn't want to go with the vampire gimmick, so I decided Mr. Fertig should stick with his Mordecai one. Don't know how long I'll keep it up though. The idea sounded much better in my head. ;)

I've got more shows coming, just haven't finished tweaking them yet, so don't worry. ;)
