If you don't want the shirt, you can probably get the set for $15 at Wal-Mart. Tonight's ECW show was pretty decent between the gory main event and the effective stuff with Test and Dreamer. I liked the small twists to the weekly Sandman and Kelly segments, and it's nice to see the Sandman in an actual feud in the new ECW. Here are your SD spoilers:
- King Booker cut a promo talking about taking the Smackdown title at the Bash. Rey Mysterio came out and the two argued back and forth.

- Matt Hardy d. Ken Kennedy.

- Jamie Noble d. Paul London (Kid Kash interfered).

- The Miz hosted the diva boot camp with Sgt. Slaughter. Slyvan was shown in the back shaking his head.

- Finlay d. Lashley to win the U.S. title

- The Great Khali cut a promo but Undertaker appeared in the ring, and set off fireworks. Khali wanted to go after Taker, but Daivari retained him.

- Mark Henry and Batista did the contract signing. Batista talked about being out of action for six months, Henry said he would get revenge.

- Rey Mysterio d. William Regal.

HOORAY FOR FINLAY! Between that match and Regal-Rey, this should be a great show. I'll have to choose between SD and SNME on Saturday night, and I'll definitely go with SD since I'll at least have good wrestling to look forward to.

Have you ever sen CM Punk wrestle Jeremy? I've heard great stuff about him, but at the same time he apparently copies his moves straight from other wrestlers. Normally I would believe that, but I heard that even Triple H complained about his style and I trust HHH far more than a random smark on the internet.

I've only seen a handful of his ROH matches and some of his TNA run, so I can't really judge him all that well. He seemed great in the ring by indy standards, and held his own on promos with Raven, so he's certainly got the ablity to get over in WWE. Plus, his character is a perfect fit for an ECW show. I can't vouch for him copying moves from guys, and I've only read that criticism from Triple H, who is known for copying Flair and Race whenever possible.

Of course he'll complain, Punk's finisher is a pedagree off the top rope (ie, more devistating than HHHs and he doesn't want to look "weaker").

You can get a fantastic deal on WWE's site for both PPVs and an ONS 2 t-shirt for about $20.

I was bummed when I heard about this because I already havethe old DVD that went long out of print. If I had known, I would have sold it when I could have got good money for it on ebay.

CC has it for $15 without the shirt as well.

Punk's been using the Anaconda Vice as his finisher for a while now, including on ECW house shows. I'm not sure what he uses to set it up, but I'm 100% sure it won't be the Pepsi Plunge in ECW. The show drew a 2.4 last night, its second best rating yet, proving that the 7/4 rating was just a fluke due to the holiday.

ECW scored a 2.4 rating. I was so totally wrong.

Yes. Also I forgot about the holiday weekend.

ECW is going to stop selling the "EC F'N W" t-shirt. Apparently Vince doesn't like the shirt at all. Sci-Fi liked last night's ECW show. And Rob Feinstein was shown the door last night.

Sci Fi is said to have liked the Flair vs. Big Show match with the blood and stuff. It's been said that they liked the entire ECW show last night. It had the ECW type of atmosphere to it.

One WWE sources said that the EC F'N t-shirt will be discontinued soon. It's said that Vince McMahon doesn't like the shirt and wants it discontinued. This is the shirt that was extremely popular in the old ECW.

What's funnier is that Vince is pulling the shirt because it's too crass, while Edge's semen-stained shirt and the mooning DX ones are fine.

That man is an enigma.

That's what gets me. My idea ... basically goes off of what someone else said here. Its not his idea so he hates it.
