[7.0] "Test and Tommy Dreamer start us off with a half hazard sort of match, and to be honest, at least this Heyman and Dreamer feud is starting to carry a little weight. Heyman's mic work is really strong, portraying him as the mad scientist who created ECW and has now decided to be the one to destroy it. The first 10 or so minutes of this show have been undeniably fun, largely thanks to Heyman's compelling promo. This segment leads to Sandman facing Knox and Test in a handicap match, designed to restrict Sandman from using his cane. Despite the seemingly goofy storyline, the match results in an entertaining moment when Sandman, against the rules, utilizes the cane as an equalizer. It makes for a fun spectacle, but it raises questions about the logic behind putting two main heels, particularly Test, who is portrayed as an absolute machine at this stage of his career, in such a vulnerable position. The match may lack logical consistency, but there is an unediable fun factor at play here too. We get a Balls Mahoney vignette, followed by a shot of the moon - this can only mean one of two things. Either RD Reynolds was writing this show or a man who is a follower of vampirism is about to put on a show that we will never forget - either way I think we are winning. I will say that Ariel hanging upside down to seperate the ropes for Thorn to enter the ring is a neat touch. He squares off against ECW original Al Snow who as Taz eloquently puts it "this isnt his first BBQ" - Taz is certainly a man who can shoot off the cuff. This was a fine match really, though the weird sort of is she going to blow him? Is he pretending to drink blood from her neck? Surely they would use blood capsules if that was the case (yes in both scenarios) - put me about a bit. Either way this tactic pays off for Mr Thorn and he scoops up the victory. Next up, we're teased with a 'Ground and pound' session on Sabu, and who better to deliver it than the one and only Kurt Angle (thanks, Taz, for the heads up). In this phase of his career, Angle exudes a certain edge that surprisingly aligns with the initial vision of this version of ECW. While we may have veered off course, Angle remains a delightful presence. Little did we know that this match would become part of history, as it turned out to be Kurt Angle's last in WWE before his move to TNA. To me this appropriately underscores the untapped potential of the ECW revival, and how cursed it felt from day 1. But first, a special treat awaits us! Please give it up for the ECW champion, Big Show! Donning a suit that surprisingly sharper than a sharks finn (because, really, who would dare cause shenanigans and risk ruining such a distinguished ensemble? ). Big Show, the man who often finds himself with boogers dangling from his nose, addresses the audience, proclaiming his intention to inject a bit of class and dignity into the show. Yes, the same man who just last week was telling members of the audience to 'fuck off' is now on a mission to clean up ECW. It's clear they're struggling with a sense of direction after hot-shotting the title onto Big Show, and one can't help but question the approach. In his promo, Big Show vividly describes how he plans to crush spines like he "crushes crackers" in his soup. This proclamation leads me to a revelation - I'd rather attend an Al Snow and Taz BBQ than be present at Big Show's last supper. However, the show takes an unexpected turn as we are treated to a Punk promo, easily stealing the spotlight as the promo of the night - (despite some questionable camera work). Punk delivers a damn decent performance, injecting a refreshing energy into the proceedings.Sabu and Angle's clash of styles amalgamates into a captivating showcase of talent. The match is filled with an plenty of holds, technical wrestling, and an infectious high energy that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. Angle's flawless bump over the top rope adds a breathtaking moment that really stoof out to me, showcasing the commitment of both athletes. The exchange of stiff-looking moves from both sides adds an element of intensity (some of those punches were truly fantastic. Despite Kurt Angle's role as a bit of an audible ring general, this match authentically captures the spirit of two exceptional athletes giving their all for a shot at championship glory (that's right against all odds they avtualy make Big Shows belt feel like it matters more than Show himself). The seamless transition from the Camel Clutch into the Angle Lock was pretty damn slick too. Honestly, the venue and the show might not do justice to the caliber of this contest - making this a bit of a hidden gem. Regrettably, the bout takes an unexpected turn with some shenanigans, but it these aren't just any shenanigans! Here we get the welcomed return of RVD! He decisively takes out both competitors, asserting his dominance and making it clear who really loves the ECW brand (sorry Tommy IDK what they're doing with you either bro). Honestly, I had a blast watching this installment of WWECW. The Angle/Sabu match alone justified the price of admission, making the 40+ minute runtime entirely worthwhile. Even the Kevin Thorn segment, although admittedly silly, provided enough amusement for a good laugh. The Heyman/Dreamer angle, despite seeming a bit goofy, was reasonably executed thanks to the talent involved."

[4.0] "We open up to two pretty terrible matches, both featuring Mike Knox and his possessiveness over Kelly Kelly - it's such an unpleasant storyline. Next up us Kevin Thorn doing what Kevin Thorn does, nothing much to say about this match, even commentary was more interested in Kevin's valet. Big Show cuts a promo, it's fine. CM Punk cuts a promo, it's fine too, but the cameraman must have been drunk or something because the camera was swaying all over the place, doing bizarre zoom ins. Strange. Main event was solid, an interesting little match, with the clash of styles. Overall not a very good episode"

[2.0] "Show starts off with 2 terrible matches and segments. Dreamer is treated like a jobber and then they proceed to have Sandman do his kendo stick schtick and gets himself DQ'ed. KNOX/DREAMER also KNOXandTEST/SAMDMAN-I'm gonna rate them as one whole thing insted of 2 separate matches and both matches were ass. The only brightside (if you even wanna call it that) was Paul' martyr gimmick that's going on is allright I guess.1/2*. KEVIN/SNOW-Another pointless match just to try and get these young guys over. 1*. KURT/SABU-What the hell is going on. Since Big Show won the title every main event has ended in some sorta no contest or DQ. This time RVD comes back throws a chair at Kurt Angle and gets 0 fan fair once so ever. Nobody even acknowledges that hes back or nothing. Then Rob throws a chair at Sabu. What even was the point of this match. Even in my opinion I didnt think these 2 meshed well either and imma mark for both these guys. Whatta stinker of a episode. 2*. Overall I thought this show was terrible, maybe even the worst so far."
