Tonight's ECW on Sci Fi will be headlined by a handicap match involving the ECW champion Bobby Lashley taking on ECW Originals Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman and Balls Mahoney in a hardcore bout.

The the poster that is being used to promote SummerSlam 2007 features non other than the soon-to-be returning Rey Mysterio. Mysterio lost the 'loser leaves SmackDown I Quit' match on October 20th of last year against Chavo Guerrero. He appeared on the February 23rd edition of Smackdown! in his hometown of San Diego, CA., only to be attacked by Umaga and Vince McMahon. Mysterio is expected to make his return in time for SummerSlam. You can see the poster below.

One of the biggest things criticized in Bobby Lashley's development as a main event superstar in WWE is his lacking of skill on the microphone. One backstage source familiar with the situation said that because Lashley did not grow up a wrestling fan he has yet to fully understand and appreciate the "culture" of wrestling. This prevents him from being able to generate fake emotion to make it genuine-looking during on-camera segments which causes his promos to suffer.

Lashley is aware of the fact that he is not a natural on the mic which only fuels his shortcomings as he has a fear of being embarrassed. Obviously the feeling backstage is that the ECW World Champ will overcome his shortcomings on the mic as long as he is willing to work at it and that is one of the few things that Lashley is having problems with.
