BLATT vs ECW - September 2nd, 2008

It’s clear that the creative team had nothing for ECW this week except a plan for this main event, but this happens once a month before the PPV. They forget that ECW has story lines and only push one match, leaving the rest for jobbing.

Mark Henry vs. Colin Delaney

BLATT vs. ECW - 6/24/08 Edition

This is the last show until Night of Champions, but somehow I think we’re going to wind up focusing on the “accident” from last night. Lots of people who are no longer show on the show tonight. Everyone who was drafted away is on the show. Let’s just pretend it’s like old times! This one was a good show, worth watching.

BLATT vs ECW - 5/20/08 edition

BLATT vs ECW - 5/13/08 edition

Welcome to ECW #101. Hopefully 101 means we’re going back to ECW basics and we’re gonna see some blood, some fire and some weapons. Somehow, I think we’re seeing more of the same.

BLATT vs ECW - 5/06/08 edition

“I’m as good as Jim Ross is, and one day I will take over his spot on Raw. As for walking off ECW, I’ll make a statement about that tomorrow night on ECW on Sci Fi’s 100th episode.” -Mike Adamle

All this and more on a very special BLATT vs. ECW.

BLATT vs ECW - 4/29/08 edition

This was the weirdest show that ECW has ever had. I couldn’t make up a weirder show if I tried. The main event was fought with no announcers and that’s just the beginning.
