Lashley fought back. He charged Holly in the corner, but missed. Holly began dropping elbows across Lashley's exposed back. He grapevined Lashley's legs and pulled back. Holly applied a rear naked choke of sorts but Lashley fought out. The crowd is chanting things, not into the match at all. Lashley catches Holly with a belly-to-belly suplex.
Both men return to their feet and Lashley unloads with a series of clotheslines. Lashley backdrops him and hit s running clothesline in the corner. He went for a second but Holly got his boot up. Holly got caught with the Dominator and pinned.
Your winner and still ECW World champion, Bobby Lashley!
The new Vito-esque Snitsky attacked Lashley. I don't think anyone in the Arena realized it was the same person. Snitsky began putting the boots to Lashley. Snitsky fed Lashley into Holly, who hit the Alabama Slam. Holly warned the unconscious Lashley that he hadn't seen the last of Holly. Tazz and Styles said Snitsky came out of nowhere. Didn't they just see the promotional video?
They recapped Lashley being laid out and then went to a fired up Lashley vowing revenge. Oh wait, no they didn't.
Matt Striker is now the guest timekeeper at ringside. I guess his word of the week will be Montreal.
Balls Mahoney vs. Marquis Cor Von
They noted Balls was being forced to compete despite his neck injury last night. Cor Von went right after Mahoney's neck. He nailed Mahoney with a big clothesline, then ripped the neck brace off. He tossed Balls into the corner but balls escaped and unloaded a series of rights. Cor Von quickly came back, evaded another punch and hit a neckbreaker. They showed Vince McMahon watching on a monitor backstage. Cor Von hit the Pounce. He cinched on a Cobra Clutch. Mahoney was out so they rang the bell.
Your winner, Marquis Cor Von!
Vince McMahon looked on approvingly backstage.
They announced Extreme Expose was next.
They aired a promo for the ECW Extreme Rules DVD.
Extreme Expose danced. How funny is it that the entire Kelly Kelly storyline led to the Nitro Girls? At least we get a weekly dose of Leyla El, who's the hottest woman in the company not named Melina (in my, ahem, journalistic opinion).
Matt Striker came out to stop the dance routine. Striker announced he was the special guest ring announcer. He introduced Marquis Cor Von as their special guest ring announcer. The special timekeeper was Kevin Thorn. What, Mr. McMahon's stooges are too busy to reprise this angle from 1997? Striker reminded everyone that if they interfered, they would be fired. How many indy promoters are saying, "Yeah, I wish" right about now?
