What a crock of sh*t!
We get screwed out of Sabu, who's probably gone from the company now.
Then we get a short, slap in the face of a match in the "extreme"
Elimination Chamber.
It's pretty sad when you're opening match is almost ten minutes longer than
your main event.
Hardy's vs. MNM was very, very good btw. It's a shame they're breaking these
teams up. These are the kind of matches the fans want to see and creative
knows it. Yet they still insist on shoving bullshit down our throat and
insulting our intelligence.
Striker vs. Balls was decent, nothing special, wtf is up with Strikers
tights.
Burke/Terkay vs. FBI was complete garbage IMO.
Daivari vs Dreamer was disappointing but expected. Dreamer did seem
legitimately hurt, not sure if that was a work or not.
The mixed tag was actually very entertaining. Ariel really knows how to work
a match, and I think I saw her vagina a few times lol. Always good.
The we have the Chamber match. Now I was extremely happy when CM Punk got
pinned early cause I really don't care for his work and he's highly
overrated. But after that, the match went to hell. They put over Test as
some kind of monster only to have him squashed by Lashley in 2-3 minutes.
Then the Big Slow lumbers in, takes 3 bumps and we have a new champion. I
think I'm gonna just boycott WWE pay per views at least until the Rumble
cause this was just ridiculous and lame.
Props to RVD, Hardy's, MNM, Ariel, Balls, and Tommy Dreamer for giving their
all and at least trying to make this a good show with the little material
they were given.

I cant believe I watched the whole ECW PPV - what a bad show! Were they trying to kill ECW last night or what? What about CM Punk, the most chanted name in wwe arenas in the last couple weeks get buried? Creative and Vince probably went like this, Oh Punk is getting hot lately, so lets bury him before he gets to hot. I'm upset. What happens with Sabu getting pulled out of the match after the fans spend $40? I'm one upset fan.

I thought it to be a good sign when the 'WWE' tag match went on first, hoping that once that was out of the way some semblence of ECW would follow. Wrong. We then get a not so horrible match from Balls and Striker with an interesting twist on the 'Raven's Rules' concept.
The Elijah Experience is less than memorable, and Turkay just doesn't look at all comfortable with people who can move arround the ring. Unless there is more to him than what we've seen on PPV and TV, one might as well give him the Spirit Squad treatment and slap OVW or DSW on his forehead.
Dreamer and Daivari looked to have something decent going, and I believe given the chance could have a good match. I've seen Daivari on the indies and know he can go. Then again, who can have anything going with The Great Lurch involved. I'm not sure if it was just a good sell by Dreamer or if Khali is just that bad.
The main event was good for a whole 8 or 9 minutes then everything went down the crapper. I know that Brockberg Goldner...oops I mean Lashley was sent to ECW to get his singles push and likely was never going to get it over Batista, but I just don't see the point in it. Holly would have been a good pick, Punk would have been a good pick (a bit early but good), RVD would have made a great pick from a storyline perspective, but this is just lazy and burial booking in my view. Do ya think Vince fed the line to Paul E. about the day of the originals being dead? Vince, it is one of your products now. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

Did I just order a $40 PPV that ended at 10:18?!!
I just don't know what to say. I feel so used. I know I asked for for it when they only hyped 2 matches but SERIOUSLY- that was it?!?!?!?!
