ECW 26/7 THOUGHTS
I thought this week's ECW was much better than it looked on paper. Overall, quite a solid effort.
I'm really lovingJohnny Nitro John Morrison at the moment. His promos have been top-notch and I'm really digging the look. I was skeptical about the name/gimmick change at first, but definitely think it's working now-- he truly comes off as a World Champion. This "15 Minutes Of Fame" challenge is a good idea too. Hopefully they don't do to it what they did to the Angle Invitational and the Masterlock Challenge and stretch it out forever to a point where nobody cares anymore.
Thorn V Richards was better than it had any right to be. Was a short, hard-hitting match with lots of cool-looking spots (like Thorn clotheslining Richards' feet when he was on the ring-apron). And Richards getting a win was very surprising!! Hopefully this wasn't just a one-off and they will start to give him a decent push.
So Miz is a heel this week?? I'm a fan of Miz's, but not so much the 'Miz: Chick Magnet' gimmick. It's good that they've stopped trying to make him a face with it though. Still can't see it going anywhere good; they should've kept him on Smackdown.
I must admit, I thought the Big Daddy V 2 jobbers squash was quite fun to watch. I found it much better than the usual squash bouts they do (ie- Snitzky's matches). And Matt Striker is still awesome! One of my favourite heels in the company, actually.
The main-event was nothing we haven't seen before. It's a shame that Elijah Burke has been made into such an afterthough- that guy = money!! But I guess there is only room for one heel at the top on a one-hour wrestling program.

IF YOU MISSED IT: Well, nothing that big or important really happened but it was a solid show, so if you get a chance to catch the replay, watch it, but if you don't, no big loss (unless you really want to see Stevie Richards win, which in all probability won't happen again in a long, long time!
