C'mon- throw Finlay a bone here!

Burial of the hometown triumps. Miz didn't even get to be an interim champ! >:o
Well, hopefully this cements that we'll get grand feuds of Hardy/Morrison/Miz.

Sweet!

That actually sounded pretty exciting. Good recap Larry, especially for how quickly you got it up and how much action I'm sure there was.
Posted By: Matt (Guest) on September 07, 2008 at 08:30 PM
Finlay v Matt for the ECW belt? Yes please!
Posted By: BringTheNoise (Guest) on September 07, 2008 at 08:30 PM
Very good match. The Miz shined and held his own the whole 20

Wow! Matt Hardy is a World Heavyweight Champion!
What a journey congratulations Matt!
Could this be the night Hardy fans have been waiting almost 10 years for?
Both Hardy's at the top of the WWE?
Posted By: Minoru Tanaka (Guest) on September 07, 2008 at 08:31 PM
YES! So far so good.
Now a win for CM Punk and Jeff will solidify a perfect night!

I think this also marks the very first time Matt got a pinfall off a Side Effect.

Finally, Matt gets a major title. Hopefully they have a finlay/hardy feud. I ordered the ppv. Sadly the crow was prettty much dead. Anytime you could see the fans faces, 90% weren't even watching the match. I kind of feel bad for the miz, he was the only one not to get a pinfall.

Although I'm happy for Matt finally winning a "world" title, I can't really see this as anything more than a lateral move. The ECW championship seems more like a reward for being with the company than anything else. Jeff winning the Smackdown title and having both close the show holding them high isn't the same as having one ruling Smackdown while the other ruling raw. the ECW title is about the same as the US title at best.
Still it's a world championship of some sort.
Congrats!

Do the non starters just come down once they up or are they already at ringside?
Posted By: kinaj (Guest) on September 07, 2008 at 08:43 PM
Matt Hardy sucks. His brother has the real talent. Hope Jeff or MVP wins tonight.
Posted By: mfactor00 (Guest) on September 07, 2008 at 08:48 PM
I want my MONEY back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Luckily I didnt order this BS of a PPV.....1st one I miss this year and I picked the right one........and the "E" wonders why they have only sold like 6000 tickets earlier this week........BOOOOOOO!!!!!Now all thats left is for Rey and Jeff to win and this would officially be THE WORST PPV OF THE DECADE....ON THE WWE SIDE BECAUSE WELL TNA SUCKS PERIOD....
Posted By: Fern (Guest) on September 07, 2008 at 08:52 PM
Wow fern, you have a strong opinion about professional wrestling altogether! Maybe you should quit watching just like I will when Cena wins the title again after his leave of injury recovery! At least there is one new champ tonight guaran-damn-teed!
Posted By: guest (Guest) on September 07, 2008 at 09:06 PM
gese, what the heck is your problem fern, do you have a problem withc actually talented wrestlers, you must think that khali is the best thing since sliced bread. use your brain, the hardys and rey have way more talent than half the crap they put the belts on.

"I think this also marks the very first time Matt got a pinfall off a Side Effect."
If you do not count that botched ending from few weeks back, you are probably correct.

TEEHEE

Fern is a ROH lover.
Posted By: Guest#9293 (Guest) on September 07, 2008 at 09:51 PM
Hey Vern...I mean Fern...
What's wrong? Upset that your guy Mick Foley decided he didn't want to work for Vince anymore, or are you mad that Amir Khan got his head handed to him by a much better boxer? Either way, there is a symbol in the upper right corner of your screen that looks like a big X...can you see it? If so, click it and your problems will disappear because you will have closed the page! If you decide to stay here and post BS like that again then go take some Ex-Lax because you truly do have a problem that maybe some "alone time" can fix. Or better yet, Vern, just STFU!
Love,
Your daddy!

Ok..............I HATE ROH.........TNA,as for my opinion of Matt winning.....we can all say not taking into consideration the problems, that Jeff is the talented Hardy...Come on Shelton had a way more memorable I.C. Title run and got nothing.....while Matt had a forgettable.........US title reign and now wins the ECW World Title..COME ON......U people have to more sense than this......Khali SUCKS as for that idiot who made that comment about me thinking he is great.... how is talent measured any ways in ur eyes anyways....just because he has been in the company for a while......what is it.....MATT SUCKS....nuff said.....Finlay should have won......
