Well the latest ECW house show has come and passed, I've read two reports, and one was very positive, the other was pretty negative, but there were a couple things that were agreed upon:
-Fertig stills sucks, but CM Punk made a good accounting of himself in the bout and got over with the crowd who largely were unsure of who he was. Punk continues to use his ROH music.
-Big Show was very bad against RVD, their styles just don't fricking work together. Big Show got a mixed reaction, as opposed to the overwhelmingly nasty reaction he got at the ECW Arena.
-Doring and Roadkill vs. The FBI continues to be a fun match on the house show circuit, and I think the fans enjoy having something that's so old school ECW. FBI were the faces in this one, and were victorious.
-Sabu continues to be over huge with the crowd, but CW Anderson is also remembered by many of the old school followers. Get that fucking guy on TV WWE!!!!
-Sandman and Credible had a longer bout this time then they did in Philly. Credible didn't get a huge amount of offense, but was said to look better then the jobber we saw against Angle. He also continues to use "Snap your fingers, snap your neck" as his entrance theme.
-Mike Knox is hated, but it sounds more like in a "you don't belong here" sort of way. Lots of "You can't wrestle" chants, but many said the kid looked good here, and I agree I think he's got some decent skills, it's just that nobody likes the new guy at first in a situation like this.
-Test is HUGE, it was capsed like that in both reports. This lead to "Steroids" chants, and Tommy Dreamer at one point during their bout made motions of injecting himself in the ass with a steroid needle.
-Paul E. didn't make his scheduled appearance. Not sure if we should read anything into that or not, and I advise against doing so until we have some further information as to why he may not have showed up.
