Matt Striker did a promo about how ECW makes him wants to vomit, and ripped on ECW fans, using a lot of big words. He then dumbed it down and said that "Brawn works some of the time, brains work all of the time". Matt said he was coming to ECW to be our "teacher".
Extreme Rules: Kevin Thorn, with Ariel, vs. Balls Mahoney.
Ariel did her really cool ring entrance. ECW original referee John Finnegan is the official. Thorn kicked Balls as he entered the ring, but Mahoney came back with a series of punches with the fans doing the "Balls" chant. Mahoney kicked Thorn in the face, sending him to the floor. They brawled on the outside, going back and forth. Balls asked Tazz "Are you drinking that?" then picked up his bottle of water and hit Thorn with it. Back in the ring, Thorn used his cane to get the advantage, hitting Balls with it and driving it into his throat for a two count. Thorn kept hitting Balls with the cane, then drove it into his throat. The fans were chanting for Balls to come back. Balls did come back with a series of punches, then hit a spinebuster for a two count. Balls went for his chair, which was on the outside. Ariel grabbed Balls' leg as he got on the ring and bit it. This allowed Thorn to kick the chair into Balls' face. thorn then hit his Hangman's stunner for the win at the three minute mark.
Winner: Kevin Thorn.
Shannon Moore was shown in the back. He said "The system is oppressive".
CM Punk vs. Christopher W. Anderson
Joey Styles said Anderson had a "cup of coffee" near the end of the original ECW. Tazz noted it was more than a cup of coffee ("maybe some doughnuts too"). They locked up with Anderson breaking clean in the corner. They mat wrestled, then went to the ropes again. Anderson decked Punk with a left hand on the break, then stomped Punk's left arm. Anderson rammed the arm into the turnbuckles and wrapped it around the top rope. Punk grabbed Anderson in a Tarantula variation as he approached him in the corner. Punk went for a sunset flip, but Anderson blocked it and applied a jujigatame. Punk busted out of it with shots to the back. Punk hit a springboard clothesline and a bulldog, then kicked Anderson in the head. Anderson hit a spinebuster for a two count. Anderson went for a second, but Punk avoided it, delivered a flurry of kicks and chops, then hit a uranage. Punk applied the Anaconda Vice for the tapout win at the three minute mark (but they squeezed a lot in that three minutes).
