OdysseyECW 20/9 thoughts

I enjoyed ECW this week. Not the best ep ever, but some good stuff on it. Any episode where Stevie Richards and Tommy Dreamer get MIC TIME!~ has to be good! 
Speaking of that opening interview segment, Thorn was better on the mic than I thought he'd be. The whole thing set up to the 'Elimination Chase' nicely. It's good that they're doing something different to crown a new number #1 contender rather than a battle royal or something else that's gotten tired.
Shame the Stevie is out of contention (not that he woulda won it anyway), but the four-way bout was pretty good. A bit slow and plodding at times, but some good spots and the story of the match (that whoever was pinned would be eliminated from the 'Chase') made it good.
I may cop some weird looks for saying this, but the Miz/Balls/Kelly storyline is one of my favourites in the WWE at the moment. Miz is awesome in his new character (I've finally come around to liking his Chick Magnet schtick, after not being too much of a fan at first), Balls is great as the sympathetic loveable-loser, and Kelly is hot!! Was good to see Mahoney get a win too. I'm guessing we won't be seeing Knox around for too much longer, if they're jobbing him like that.
And finally, the main-event was decent enough for the type of match it was. I'm sure most people were expecting a slow, 'five minute bearhug' type match, but what we got instead was actually pretty fast-paced. A decent ending to the Boogeyman/Daddy V feud. I wonder who both of them will feud with next.

IF YOU MISSED IT: Like Raw this week, there wasn't one particular match or moment that you should go out of your way to catch, but if the replay's on and you're not doing anything, give it a watch as it was an alright show.
