Match #2
- Meanwhile, Edge and Orton draw their numbers for the Rumble and mock Kelly Kelly (who is an exhibitionist).
ECW “World” title: Bobby Lashley v. Test
Shoving match to start and Test stomps away and chokes him down, but Lashley hits him with a t-bone suplex. Delayed vertical suplex and Test bails, but he suckers Lashley into standing the apron long enough for a trip into the post. Great, now we get to watch him try to sell. Back in, Test gets two. We go to an armbar, and you know Test means business because he cycles through his two facial expressions and gives us “Angry Test”. And we stay on the armbar for a while, as Test’s face just does not change. Did he get Botox done or something? I mean, sure, he’s expanded his range of emotion by 100%, but geez. Lashley backdrops him and follows with a corner clothesline and some shoulderblocks in the corner, but his arm gives out on a press-slam attempt. Big boot from Test gets two, and it’s ANGRY TEST again. F5 is escaped by Lashley, and he clotheslines Test to the floor (causing him to shift facial expressions to “Confused and/or Injured Test”) and Test walks out on the match. Countout finishes are EXTREME!
(Lashley d. Test, countout, 7:10, 1/2*) Well that was pretty fucking lame. Nothing like a match where no one gets over and the fans boo both guys.
- Meanwhile, Vince wants John Cena to lose. And John’s injured too. Uh oh, he’s facing impossible odds! He can’t possibly win, can he?
You were way too nice to this stink fest, it was a DUD if you want to be nice to it (I am not nice so I go -1 star). Why does Black Lesnar beat Testicles clean on free television then they do a bull crap count out on a show that cost me $40? At least it was short (though they hit enough ARM BARS to fill a 30 minute match). I think the match was purposely booked like crap so McMahon can continue the endless burial of ECW.
I did enjoy Edge punking out the ECW / Johnny Ace skank though.
Funny you mention Test’s facial expressions. Just saw this avatar today:

What I noticed is how ridiculously roided to the gills Test is at this point. It is absurd that Testicles still has a job in wrestling. New ECW is crap.
Count outs…they’re fantastic!
Nothing says ECW like a count out huh guys?
Countouts are EXXXXTREMEEEEE!!!!!!
It could have been worse, they could have had a time limit draw.
