Official ECW Pre-view: Vying for greatness
Leave it up to ECW General Manager Theodore Long to keep the Extreme waters stirring on Tuesday nights. Following in the footsteps of his GM colleagues on Raw and SmackDown, Long announced that the Land of the Extreme would also have a Championship Scramble Match at Unforgiven.
Not only will that five-way contest take place, but a sneak preview in the form of an ECW Battle Royal is set for Monday night on Raw. All five ECW Championship Scramble Match competitors will share the ring as the World’s Strongest Champion Mark Henry, Finlay, Chavo Guerrero, The Miz and Matt Hardy all look to feel out their opponents and find the best strategy for winning, come Sunday.
Week after week, Henry, with help from his associate, WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas, has done everything he can to stack the odds in his favor. But, after a whirlwind series of matches qualified the other four Superstars to join him in the innovative pay-per-view bout, how will the World’s Strongest Man react to such overwhelming opposition to his throne?
While The Miz found victory by outmaneuvering the high-flying Evan Bourne, his “Dirt Sheet” co-host, John Morrison, failed overcome the tenacious Hardy. How will the outspoken duo cope with the fact that only one of them will have his shot at the championship gold?
Finlay may have gotten some retribution on Mike Knox for last week’s SmackDown assault by brawling his way to qualifying glory. But, have things truly been settled between to the two tough-as-nails Superstars? Or will this latest victory by the man who loves to fight prove to be nothing more than another battle in their very grueling war of hatred?
Find out the answers to these questions and more on Raw, Monday at 9/8 CT on USA and ECW on Sci Fi, Tuesday night at 10/9 CT. And, don’t miss all three unprecedented Championship Scramble Matches at Unforgiven, live Sunday, only on pay-per-view.
