I thought that Raw was decent yet again this week. I don't remember much about it tonight, except that I didn't hate it.

ECW, on the other hand continues to excite me. The Richards/Thorn, that dick Miz and Balls and Kelly Kelly, Elijah Burke, and John Morrison keep me interested.

Man, is that Morrison guy cracking me up. "The Boogieman. I think that guy's gonna come and try and get me." "CM Punk. You don't smoke. You don't chew tobacco. You don't drink. You don't do drugs. And you know what else you don't do? Win titles." Classic. Love that Tuesday Night Delight.

And a few weeks ago he told Punk: "They don't drink Diet Coke in the Palace of Wisdom."

Wow. I thought that was one of the worst promos I've seen in forever. And I WANTED to like it. I like Morrison and I dig the look. And I think they could do some great stuff with it. But that slo-mo entrance was fucking retarded and his promo was just so forced and stiff.

I thought it was a decent show. ECW is kinda fun if very shallow and heel heavy. There was 1 face on the show that I cared about in the slightest and he kinda annoyed me.

But there was one thing that really stuck with me. ECW was just filled with douchebags and freaks. The freaks are easy to name. The douchebags?

Miz. Who is trying to be a douchebag, so it works. It works really well. Him wearing that hat with those girls mocking Balls? Excellent, really. I think I love the Miz.

Morrison. Who was trying to be cool but just came off like a douche. That's bad. Please, please, please get him a girl or a manager who can take the mic from him as he learns to get better.

Punk. Really, he came off like such an utter douche during that backstage promo. But honestly? Punk regularly comes off as a complete and utter douche to me. Its why his Straight Edge "I'm better than you" heel character is so good. Its why his "You got Punk'd" OVW character was good. He was a douche. Face Punk just comes off as a douche to me. I mean, that gay ass flinching shit? ECW badly needs Punk as a face but I can't wait for heel Punk. I may like him again.

Didn't really pay attention all that much to ECW, but I thought Morrison's promo was alot better than his usual stuff. There are points where he's still very uncomfortable up there, but on the whole I liked the promo. Except for where he was trying to channel Jericho and it just made me miss him more.

I've been waiting for heel Punk from day 1 and I just don't see it happening on ECW. If/when he changes brands, I think that's when it will come out. But ECW's face roster at this point is Punk, Dreamer, and Balls...one keeps losing, one is a perennial loser, and the third annoys me to no end.

Really? We liked the promo?

"I lit the place on... FIIIIIIIIIIIIIII *voice cracks* IIRE!"?

Boogie and Richards probably fill out the face ranks at this stage but they don't add much. Yeah, Punk is needed as a face on ECW. And until WWE FINALLY starts just even giving ECW a few workable players they'll need him. But I do expect that heel turn when he gets moved off of ECW and I anxiously await it. Its just too clear that I'd fucking dislike CM Punk the person for me to cheer for the douche.

I only caught the very end of the show, and saw Thorn beat Stevie. I still hold out hope that they are doing something with Stevie and weren't just saying "hey let's give Stevie a couple of wins just for the hell of it." I don't think it would take THAT much to build Stevie as a legit contender. Matches between him and Morrison would be pretty good.

As for the main event, eh. So you have Morrison beat Punk clean (I assume, I didn't see SS) then immediately have Punk win a four way to be the #1 contender and get another title shot? Punk is turning into the Batista of ECW, shot after shot after shot after shot. I get that they want to build this as a big rivalry, and I applaud them for that, but have Morrison pull the heel "that's it, no more shots for you!" Make Punk take a few months to beat some guys and get back into the mix, maybe a feud with someone else for a bit.

Al in all, i like the direction that ECW is going for the most part. It they could only add some guys to flesh out the roster, and maybe get some tag titles in there, we would be set. I still think it is more interesting than RAW by a longshot. Now that The Bronx is Burning (fuck you ESPN) is done I can pay more attention to ECW

HAHAHA!!! Moose got sucked in!! But watching BiB probably IS a better use of 60 minutes than ECW, I'll give ya that, Moosey. Okay, I'll take my pessimism elsewhere now.

I'm loving the John Morrison character. But that quote right there was pretty bad. And the flinch thing was really retarded. Never been a Punk fan, but I've never seen him as a heel. Maybe that'd be ok.
