Here’s a rundown of ECW on Sci-Fi last night…

The Miz defeated CM Punk. Late in the match, Punk went for the GTS, but Miz slipped out and hit the Reality Check for the win. Afterward, Morrison walked onto the stage and hugged Miz.

Kelly Kelly and Michelle McCool and Cherry defeated Victoria and Natalya and Layla. There were some good spots when Michelle and Victoria were in the ring together. In the end, Cherry rolled up a distracted Victoria for the surprise win.

Backstage, Lena Yada interviewed Shelton Benjamin, who said Kofi Kingston “walks around with a horseshoe stuck where the sun don’t shine and I’m going to pull it out.” Kofi confronted Shelton. Benjamin shoved Kofi, who responded with a weird looking shoulder tackle that left Benjamin lying on the ground.

Mike Knox squashed Colin Delaney. Colin finally got his entrance music. The match was all Knox, who finished off Delaney with his finisher. Afterward, Armando walked out and announced that he had just signed himself to a lucrative wrestling contract. He kicked Colin and demanded that the referee ring the bell to start their match.

Armando Estrada defeated Colin Delaney. Adamle referred to Armando as “the calculating Cuban.” Quick squash. Delaney was bleeding from the nose after the match.

John Morrison (w/The Miz) defeated Kane in a non-title match. Miz was a nuisance to Kane early on, so CM Punk walked to ringside to stand in the corner of his Judgment Day partner just before the break.  Morrison worked over the left knee injury that Kane has been selling ever since Chavo attacked it with a chair the week before Backlash.

Six days away from WWE Judgment Day, here’s what went down on WWE RAW…

William Regal is in the ring. Lillian Garcia is there and sings “God Save The Queen!” Regal disapproves of the fans’ disrespect. He’s General Manager and King and could have them thrown out if he wants. He’s not bluffing. He picks on a random couple and has them thrown out. Mickie James says that was her brother and his girlfriend. Regal threatens to throw Mickie out, too. She pleads her case and he threatens to strip her of her title belt.

John Cena is in the house! He sends Mickie to the back and gets a mic. He’s back and is usually ready to raise some hell but he wants to talk to Regal man-to-man. He knows what it’s like to give your soul to these people and have them tell you “you suck.” Cena reads out complaints from fans. “This is WCW Thunder bad.” “I’m going to start a chant in every arena in the country saying “Fire Regal clap clap clap, fire Regal clap clap clap.”" Glorious.

Regal says he won’t turn out the lights tonight. He knows Cena wants revenge on Randy Orton, so the main event is Orton vs. Cena. Regal says if anyone gets involved in the match, they will be suspended. Regal hopes he’s earned some respect.

Chris Jericho is here. He shows us footage of Michaels injuring his knee at Backlash against Batista. Jericho says he didn’t buy it because he saw the look in Shawn’s eyes at Backlash and has been telling everyone who will listen that Shawn’s a fake. But last week, something happened that changed his mind. We see footage of last week’s tag match. This time, he saw the pain on Shawn’s face when he kicked John Morrison. He was wrong. He wants to tell Shawn he’s sorry. Jericho would understand if Shawn wanted to call off their match at Judgment Day and says he should because Jericho doesn’t want to face Shawn with a bad wheel.

Tazz welcomed us to the show. Then, Tony Chimel announced the new voice of ECW, Mike Adamle. Tazz said Adamle left the set last week, and he left in support. Adamle briskly walked to the ring, took the mic and said he lost his cool and he needs to apologize.

First, he apologized to Tazz. Adamle also apologized to the “great ECW fans.. He said he’s been a broadcaster probably longer than a lot of people have been alive.

Adamle said he’s made mistakes, and he’s the first to admit it. Adamle said there are wrestlers who aren’t shy about letting him know when he sucks. He said he loves WWE, ECW, and he wants to bring the best possible product to the ECW fans. He thanked the fans for listening, and the fans booed. Is this really a story line now? The fans hating on an announcer?

Tommy Dreamer vs. Mike Knox: Extreme Rules

Last night on ECW, awful announcer Mike Adamle walked out of the broadcast. Seriously. Here’s what else went down…

Kofi Kingston defeated Shelton Benjamin. Adamle said Kofi “has yet to lose in the ECW.” Make him stop, someone. Benjamin had complete control early. At 2:25, Shelton attempted a superplex, but Kofi pushed him off. He hit a high cross body for a nearfall on Benjamin. Shelton charged at Kofi in the corner, but Kofi hit the roundhouse kick for the clean pinfall victory. Adamle called it a big upset.

Delaney got too close to the action, and Knox threw him into the outside steps. Dreamer hit a dropkick to Knox on the outside, but Knox regained the offensive advantage. Knox hit his finishing move for an uneventful pinfall victory.

Matt Striker (with classroom set) stood in the middle of the ring and sounded like a thesaurus. Striker mentioned Adamle, as well. He is not safe from anyone. Striker gave Mick Foley a nice introduction. Striker said we were all “privy” to Foley’s in-ring accomplishments. Foley plugged his books and his relationship with Katie Couric. Striker said Foley had a face suited for radio and not television. He made fun of his smile, ear, hair, and physical appearance.

Foley brought out Mr. Socko. He then gave Striker the Mandible Claw. His music played and he threw Socko to Adamle. Adamle said, “A lot of people would like me to keep this in my mouth.” Tazz said, “You’re right.”

C.M. Punk defeated Chuck Palumbo by DQ. Palumbo hit a big body slam, but CM Punk recovered, utilizing his kickboxing skills. Palumbo regained the advantage, hitting a few powerful moves, including a back suplex for a nearfall. Palumbo wore down Punk with a rear chinlock followed by multiple knees to the lower back. Tazz said Punk had to “find his way out of the box.” Palumbo continued to hammer Punk in the corner and the referee called for the bell.

Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely defeated Kane. For some reason, Mike Adamle left the broadcast booth. After Kane’s entrance, Tazz was instructed to leave the booth as well. Weird.

Neely pulled Kane off the apron, which allowed both men to work on Kane’s leg. Nice use of exploiting a previous injury. Too bad there is no announcer to tell us that. Chavo continued to work on Kane’s leg as Kane tried to use his power to fight him off.

In the corner, Kane tried a two-handed chokeslam, but his leg gave out. Kane recovered though to hit a backdrop and side suplex for a nearfall. Neely tagged in and Kane obliterated him with shots to the body, followed by another side suplex.

Kane went to the top rope and hit the closeline on Bam. He brought Chavo in the ring and attempted a chokeslam on him, but Bam took out his leg. Chavo hit a frogsplash for the win.
