Posted by Michael Bauer on 02.05.2008

The Mississippi River, the Long Island Sound, and now the Gulf of Mexico. At least this time a match was going on.

Welcome to the ECW on Sci-Fi! As always, I am Michael Bauer, your 411 ECW Re-capper. Tonight is my 25th birthday. And yes, just like on Christmas, I am giving up a night of drinking on an important day for myself to be here with you.

We open with CM Punk coming down to the ring and talked about Chavo's fiesta and how he would never miss a good party. CM Punk says he invited himself and then we get a video package from last week's celebration. CM Punk laughs and seriously tells Chavo that he is using his rematch clause tonight for the ECW Title. This brings out Chavo Guerrero, who grabs a microphone and questions why Punk should get a shot after insulting his heritage. Chavo says it is not going to happen tonight, but it will happen at No Way Out in two weeks time. As for tonight, Chavo says he doesn't like to be embarrassed, so he will do the same to Punk. Chavo brings out Armando Estrada to explain how this will happen. Estrada is on the screen and he is outside. He says that Punk and Chavo will compete in the first ever Gulf of Mexico match. They will go outside, come as they are, extreme rules apply, and the winner must throw their opponent into the Gulf of Mexico. Yes, that is what he said. Chavo then says he will drown Punk.

Divas Tag Match: Layla and Victoria (w/ Lena) vs. Kelly Kelly and Michelle McCool

Wow, this seems like a major mismatch. Layla and Kelly start and Layla gets an arm wrench, but escapes with a cartwheel and a hip toss. Layla back in the corner and Kelly hits an elbow after messing up her timing with the front flip. Michelle tagged in and she hits a neck snap on Layla. Layla escapes from Michelle and gets a tag to Victoria. Michelle hits some blows and Victoria downs her with some power moves.
