OPENER:

They opened the show with still ECW champion John Morrison coming out to the ring. They used a nice still-shot of Morrison grazing his feet on the ropes against C.M. Punk at Summerslam to retain the title. Morrison asked the crowd if they can feel it. He cut a poem about creating a new reality for Punk that he is the guru of greatness, the Tuesday night delight, and the ECW champion. Morrison said he accepts all realities thrown in his direction, then he talked about the fatal four-way #1 Contender match tonight. They showed Boogeyman on the screen and Morrison ran him down. Miz was shown next to a round of boos. Morrison smirked, then ran him down for performing acts on himself in the shower. They showed Big Daddy V to some oos and aahs. Morrison said let's just hope he doesn't win tonight. Punk flashed on the screen to a brief cheer. Morrison asked how many times he has to beat Punk before he goes away. Morrison said Punk doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't do drugs, and doesn't win championships. He said Punk took his eye on the ball at Summerslam and he will never defeat him for the ECW Title. Morrison said none of those four are enlightened enough to defeat him. Morrison held his belt in the air to close the segment.

[Commercial Break]

Kevin Thorn came out and they recapped last week when Thorn and Stevie Richards brawled backstage. Richards then came out for another match with Thorn.

1 -- KEVIN THORN vs. STEVIE RICHARDS

Thorn pounded on Richards early on, and Richards kept asking for more, so Thorn granted the request. Thorn chucked Richards across the ring before driving him into the corner and landing hard elbow smashes. He then kicked Richards hard in the face and choked him across the top turnbuckle.

[Q2]

Thorn followed Richards on the outside and continued to work on the throat area. Thorn re-started the ref's count before driving Richards back-first into the guardrail. Back in the ring, Thorn landed consecutive clotheslines to the throat. Richards didn't show much life, and Thorn continued to knock him down with clotheslines. Richards escaped a crucifix bomb, but walked into another clothesline to the throat. Thorn jerked Richards around and kept screaming at him to show him something. Richards suddenly hit a double-knee jaw breaker and roundhouse kicks for a nearfall. He had a nearfall following a roll-up, but Thorn caught him in center-ring with a torture rack backbreaker. Thorn then took Richards to a horizontal position across the top turnbuckle and hit the Original Sin crusher for the pin and the win.

WINNER: Thorn in 6:00. A step up from their previous encounters because it carried the tune of a personal feud. More than just spot a, spot b, comeback, nearfall - this had more of a real fight feel to it. Thorn showed something new that's been missing, although the crowd didn't get into the match. (*1/4)

[Commercial Break]

They aired a horror-flick video package on The Boogeyman. Some old school stuff with Boogeyman dumping worms on Sharmell, Jillian Hall, and JBL.

Backstage, Extreme Expose was hanging on Miz. Balls Mahoney then walked in and Miz said he was shocked by Balls winning last week. Miz, who looked slightly over-cooked, wanted to know if Balls's victory last week was a fluke or not, so he would be watching his match. Brooke and Leyla had a good laugh at Balls's expense, but Kelly Kelly hung around to tell Balls good luck tonight. Apparently Miz has booking influence these days.

On the other side of town, John Morrison talked to Armando Estrada about being comfortable when watching the #1 Contender match. C.M. Punk then walked in and dined on Morrison's catering, much to Armando's chagrin. Morrison said he knows why Punk is here: to beg for another title shot. Punk said he's here to earn another title shot and he won't have to put his feet on the ropes to do it. Morrison said a win's a win. Punk feigned hitting Morrison, who flinched. Punk laughed and asked Morrison what he's going to do. Punk took a bite out of some cantaloupe, then left. Morrison and Armando shared mad face looks.

[Commercial Break]

[Q3]

The Miz came out with Extreme Expose. He led the ladies to the announce area to have a seat and watch Balls's match. Elijah Burke then came out for the re-match with Balls.

2 -- BALLS MAHONEY vs. ELIJAH BURKE

Burke came out as the aggressor before Balls came back with successive scoop slams and a clothesline. Kelly stood up and cheered for Balls, who cracked a smile. Burke took advantage of Balls's distraction and kicked him in the face to take control. The fans chanted, "Let's go Balls" while Miz, Brooke, and Leyla had a good laugh at Balls's misfortune. Burke landed the flying handstand elbow in the corner, then sat down on a neck vice. Burke started landing jabs in the corner before Balls avoided a corner clothesline and rolled up Burke for a nearfall. Burke came back with a short-arm clothesline, though, and sat down on a chinlock. Balls escaped and hit a suplex before landing the Balls punches. He then hit the Nutcracker Suite for a nearfall when Burke got his foot on the bottom rope. They battled up top and Burke executed a big superplex before lowering the knee pads for the Elijah Express in the corner. Burke then made the cover for the win.

Afterward, Kelly was dejected while Miz gloated. Miz took the mic and announced Balls as the loser before leaving with Brooke and Leyla on his arms. Meanwhile, Kelly slipped into the ring and checked on Balls. After about 15 seconds, she was done checking on him, then she left the ring. She stopped halfway down the entrance ramp, then turned and waved at him near tears. Balls pulled himself up to the ropes to make eye contact with Kelly, who tried to hide her disappointment.

WINNER: Burke in 6:00. Match was stuck in first-gear. Burke gets a much-needed win, although they didn't exactly highlight him in victory. Good progress with the Balls-Kelly storyline. (3/4*)

[Commercial Break]

[Q4]
Miz was back in the ring for the main event. C.M. Punk then came out second. Big Daddy V followed out. Time for another break before Boogeyman's entrance.

[Commercial Break]

Boogeyman did his entrance, then everyone tried to gang up on Viscera before the bell rang.

3 -- C.M. PUNK vs. THE MIZ vs. BIG DADDY V (w/Matt Striker) vs. THE BOOGEYMAN -- #1 Contender match

Viscera fought them all off before whipping Punk into Miz and creating a double stack in the corner. Punk took the worst of it and slumped to the corner. Miz then walked into a lift-up slam and Viscera pounded his chest. Boogeyman then re-entered and danced around Viscera before Miz tripped Boogeyman and dragged him to the floor. Punk went for a cross body splash on Viscera, but Viscera tossed him over the top rope to the ground. The action spilled to the floor and Viscera pounded Miz across the chest. Same for Punk. He then went for a charging splash, but Miz and Punk moved, causing Viscera to spill over the guardrail to the floor. Back in the ring, Miz cleared Boogeyman to the outside for a while before smashing Punk in the corner with a flying boot for a nearfall.

[Q5 -- over-run]

Punk fired back on Miz with a combo of kicks to the head before missing with a leg drop off the ropes. Miz sat down on a neck vice in center ring, then the crowd rallied for Punk, who came back with a powerslam. Both men recovered on the mat, then Punk nailed a high knee in the corner and a bulldog in center ring. Punk hit a springboard clothesline on Miz for a nearfall, then he went for the Go 2 Sleep and connected. Punk then covered Miz for the win.

After the match, Viscera grabbed Boogeyman and slammed him on the floor. Punk then left the ring while Viscera returned to the ring a little too late. Styles and Tazz talked about Morrison's worst nightmare continuing with Punk coming back for more after earning another opportunity at the belt. Punk celebrated with the fans ringside while Viscera stared at him from inside the ring.

WINNER: Punk in 8:00 to earn another ECW title shot. Helter-skelter early on, then things slowed down for the Punk vs. Miz portion of the match. Fans were subdued probably in anticipation of Boogeyman or Viscera returning to the match at some point, but they booked four good minutes of Punk vs. Miz as a mini-test-run for a program down the line. In the end, Punk's chase continues. (*1/2)

The Undertaker will facing a slew of large opponents when he returns to the ring this fall.

He's scheduled to make his return at the Unforgiven pay-per-view. He will be facing Mark Henry. Taker will probably be the one to put Henry out of action for good in the storylines as Henry is likely finishing up with WWE when his contract expires in a few weeks.

In a return feud from about 12 years ago, Undertaker will be facing Big Daddy V (or King Mable 12 years ago). Plans have been made to build Big Daddy V up as a monster in ECW, then move him to SmackDown sometime in the fall to feud with the top babyface talents of the brand -- including Undertaker.

'Taker is also scheduled to feud with The Great Khali again. For more info on the Undertaker's Past feuds i suggest getting WWE Tombstone: The History of The Undertaker
