Re: WWE: The Revival
ECW Review:
Estrada's opening promo was good even though it was kind of short. However the announcement of the matches scheduled for this edition of ECW, looks to be interesting, and next week's Triple Threat match with the winners of this week's show facing against one another should be great as well.
The opening match was well written, even though Miz lost the match. I'm a mark for the Miz, but since he lost the title match against Punk at Cyber Sunday, I don't think it would be right for Miz to face Punk again at Survivor Series, as Miz still has some improvement to make before becoming a part of the Main Event scene on ECW.
The Nuzio/Boogeyman segment was done since this ECW show is based around the Halloween theme, right? With that said both men say their regular lines, and the promo was decent, since it was a comedic promo in the first place.
The Burke/Estrada segment IMO, should have been done after Estrada announced the matches in the ring at the top of the show, as it would have been much better and gave Burke even more heat heading into his match against Punk on next week's show.
BDV beating Mahoney was expected, and fortunately the match was kept short. With that said, I don't expect to see BDV to win the Triple Threat Match next week.
Punk's promo was good, as while it seemed somewhat generic based on Punk's character, it was good since it got across the point of the segment which was to show that Punk always will always prevail against the odds and never give up.
While the Main Event was a great match, this match was always Morrison's match to win. I also have a feeling that Morrison is going to win the Triple Threat Match next week and face Punk for the ECW Championship at the Survivor Series PPV.
Overall Comments: I know that ECW is being written by the both of you, KOP and Hollywood Event, as the two of you have mentioned before in this thread, and with that said this was a good show. However I'm surprised that there were only three matches. I know there were quite a bit of promos and backstage segments, but I thought there would be at least another match, like a squash match or a match featuring the divas of ECW, like a Kelly Kelly vs. Layla match. With that said, once again this was a great show, and looking forward to the upcoming Smackdown show in this thread.
