~Last week on ECW, Mike Adamle made his debut as the new lead commentator of ECW, Colin Delaney got smashed by Mike Knox, Kelly Kelly won a dance-off and Kane & The Undertaker ran through The Miz & John Morrison. Here's what went down this week.

-Kelly Kelly & Tommy Dreamer defeat Layla & Mike Knox.

-Jimmy Wang Yang beats John Morrison.

-Kofi Kingston continues his winning streak with a victory over Shelton Benjamin.

-Mark Henry steamrolls Nunzio for no reason.

-Edge hosts a "very special edition" of his talk show (it seems everyone in WWE has one), The Cutting Edge. This week's guest is ECW Champion, Kane. Edge then starts talking junk to Kane.

-Kane starts yelling back.

-Kane then gets jumped by Edge, Chavo Guerrero, his bodyguard, Bam Neely and those two other blond guys.

-And then Chavo hits Kane with a chair to end the show.


I think Mike Adamle is improving, slowly, but I think he was way better this week than last week. He forgot Jimmy Wang Yang's name again this week but I think he'll get it down eventually.

Although she lost her match, I still love me some Layla El.

I hope the Kofi Kingston/Shelton Benjamin match leads to a feud between the two. I think Benjamin and Kingston are two great athletes and, if they are given enough time together, they could have some really awesome matches together.





I thought Jimmy Wang Yang looked pretty solid in his match against John Morrison. Yang also hit a pretty sweet moonsault to end the match.




4/23 ROH Video Wire

~Ring of Honor released their another video wire this afternoon. Here's the clip:


Here's what goes down:

-Austin Aries and Lacey makeout.

-Jimmy Jacobs thanks Aries for joining his group, Age of the Fall. He then tells Aries to stop all this makeout business with Lacey, Jacobs' girlfriend. Aries says hell naw, that he never joined AOTF and that he's taking Lacey with him.

-Nigel McGuinness vs. Claudio Castagnoli for the ROH World Title is made official for May 10 in NYC.

-Jimmy Jacobs confronts Lacey about the stuff Austin Aries said and she says she doesn't want to talk about it and leaves. Jacobs cries in the middle of the ring while the fans throw streamers. Funny stuff.

I really enjoyed this edition of the video wire. I thought the MCGuinness/Castagnoli segment was short and sweet. The whole Aries/Lacey/AOTF angle took a rather strange turn that I didn't really see coming but I'm willing to continue to see where things are gonna go. Plus, I laughed really hard when the fans threw streamers in the ring when Jimmy Jacobs was crying. How cruel, funny, but how very cruel.

Wednesday Wrestler Spotlight

~This week's wrestler spotlight is on whoever the person was who played Bill Clinton on Raw Monday night.

Overall, I thought the segment featuring "Hillary Clinton" and "Barack Obama" wasn't bad but "Bill"'s antics were classic and stole the show.
