The following report was written by Mike Johnson and PWInsider.com:
They showed close, tight shots of the crowd as Joey Styles and Tazz welcomed everyone to ECW, noting they were live from Albany, New York. Sabu vs. Tony Mamaluke (with Trinity)
Sabu made his way to the ring for a match. They aired clips of a bloody John Cena from last night after he had been put through the table. Mamaluke then made his way to the ring with Trinity. Tazz said if you want Divas, go to Raw or Smackdown. If you want Vixens, you go to Smackdown. Styles noted that ECW was the top show on Sci Fi last week when they aired. Tazz noted that Raw was the top rated cable show of the week. Yep, Vince McMahon is already feeding lines.
The match started out fast. They are shooting the ring tight with the lights in the Arena low to give it a darker feel. Sabu got a near fall with a legdrop. Mamaluke hit a belly to back suplex for a near fall. The commentary focused on what Sabu did to Cena. Sabu hit a slingshot legdrop, then cinched in a Camel Clutch. Sabu hit a springboard plancha off a chair to the floor on Mamaluke. The camera angles are absolutely more intimate this week. Sabu set up a table but Mamaluke attacked him and tossed him back in the ring. He slammed the chair down over Sabu's face and went to the top. He went for a frog splash but Sabu tossed the chair into Mamaluke's face while laying on the mat. Sabu put Mamaluke on a table and hit a plancha out of the ring into a splash, putting Mamaluke through the table. They used a closeup angle that made Sabu look like he was crashing into the camera. That looked awesome. Sabu tossed Mamaluke back in the ring and locked on a camel clutch. Mamaluke tapped out.
Your winner, Sabu.
A short but satifying matches with some hard hitting spots. At this point, the show is already WAY better when compared to the debut.
Kelly introduced herself and said again, she's an exhibitionist. She said that last week she was so excited she couldn't get her bra off, but tonight she'll show us, "everything she has."
When they returned from commercial, Rob Van Dam did a promo backstage, wearing the WWE title around his waist and the ECW title above it. Van Dam promo'd his match later tonight and then said that Edge was going to get his ass whipped at Vengeance, but tonight Edge will get an "Extreme asskicking." Van Dam said he needed to get rolling, "if you know what I mean" and then led the crowd in reciting "Rob Van Dam."
