John Cena vs. The Miz

Oh, and if Triple H vs Randy Orton goes over twice as long as Punk vs Hardy, I'm gonna be pissed. I saw something saying RKO vs HHH is getting over 40 minutes...that's terrible, we've seen the match, it's put us to sleep time and time again. Punk and Jeff better at least get 20 minutes if that's the case, THAT is the match everyone wants to see.

I just want to see the scramble :P I know how the others are going to end

Swagger is the first interim champion...

And I have a feeling Finlay won't be seen for a while then will get a pin...maybe the last one?

Now Finlay is the champ...


And now Mark Henry...

And back to Swagger...

And now Tommy Dreamer!

Sweet. They said "new ecw champion", but wouldn't it count as the same title reign?

Woooooooohhhhhooooooooo Dreamer!!!!!!!!

Good to see Dreamer win again.

I liked that scramble match, even moreso because of dreamer winning



man it seems like Jericho is more over tonight then mysterio
