What You Didn’t See Last Night On ECW On Sci Fi
Quote:
Chad Flatt sent this report:
After Smackdown ended, ECW went live. They brought out the ECW set and put it right in front of me. It was off to the right of the Smackdown entrance. I was only two rows away! ECW got the crowd more vocal than anything that happened on SD.
Dark Match Main Event after ECW went off the air: King Booker w/ Sharmell -vs- Batista for the World Heavyweight Title. Slow easy-going match between the two until Sharmell low-blowed Batista and got the King DQ'd. Booker is easily the most entertaining part of SD right now. His facials are second only to Vinny Mac's.
Other Notes:
Building was about 70% full. Some upper seats and three sections on the hard camera side were empty.
The Angle/Sabu match was good live. RVD's run in lost steam when he whiffed on the Van Daminator. The crowd still loved seeing him.
Crowd was pretty much into most things. They crapped all over the Diva Search segment. ECW got a nice chant. A few boring chants here and there during the Angle/Sabu match. I guess some folks were expecting a non-stop supply of high spots and broken tables. All in all a good night of action with all the big Smackdown and ECW stars except CM Punk. I really wanted to see him work live.
Brent Stewart sent this report:
The crowd was dead for Smackdown. ECW was another story. The crowd was pretty much into it throughout the whole thing. Sabu was over big time, though the crowd was split 50/50 during the Angle/Sabu match. The other most over person during ECW was CM Punk. He got a great reaction after his promo and there were tons of signs for him.
There seemed to be a fair number of people there, though there were two whole sections to the left of the ring, facing the entrance way that were completely empty.
