ECW on Sci-Fi Opener:[/u]
After the show opening aired, Joey Styles and Taz welcomed us to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania for tonight's show.
Extreme Bikini Contest[/u]
Torrie Wilson vs. Kelly Kelly
Torrie came out first, and they showed a video plugging her FHM magazine cover. A fan had a sign that said "If Kelly doesn't strip, we riot". Torrie went first, and disrobed to show off her cheeky bikini. Kelly then had her turn, and before she even got her robe off, Mike Knox, with Test in tow, came out and stopped her.
Sandman and Tommy Dreamer then came in from the crowd, and Knox, Test and Kelly left the ring. Sandman took the mic and said "You three, us three, right here, right now". Torrie took off her heels, and was up for the fight.
Knox, Test and Kelly teased getting in the ring, but Test and Knox jumped off the apron. Torrie grabbed Kelly and yanked her into the ring. Torrie tossed Kelly around, while the male wrestlers got on the apron. I guess we have a tag match.
Winner:[/u] No Contest

Backstage:[/u]
Backstage, Paul Heyman was telling Big Show that he believed in him, but he didn't like the idea of him agreeing to face Sabu again right after Summerslam. Show told Heyman not to worry, and that Sabu would be "out of his element" tonight. There would be no tables or chairs tonight (this won't be an "Extreme Rules" match). Show walked off confidently.
Matt Striker Vignette:[/u]
Matt Striker did a promo about how ECW makes him wants to vomit, and ripped on ECW fans, using a lot of big words. He then dumbed it down and said that "Brawn works some of the time, brains work all of the time". Matt said he was coming to ECW to be our "teacher".

Heyman said that Holly needs to "make an impact" in order to make it in ECW.
Rob Van Dam vs. Danny Doring[/u]
The Start:[/u]
At the start of the bell, Tazz noted that since RVD did not win the ladder match last week, Heyman was making him start from the bottom. The two worked a wristlock at the start, with Van Dam going back into a full bridge then going back to his feet. Van Dam grabbed a leg cradle for a two count.

Back from the break, we saw that during the break a table was set up, and Show taunted Sabu by choking him on the ropes near the table (since the table is not allowed).
The Match Continues:[/u]
The Big Show slammed Sabu, but Sabu rallied with a series of punches before Show hit him with a clothesline. Sabu put Show in a bearhug, but Sabu went to the eyes to break free. Show, half-blind, charged Sabu, but Sabu moved and Show knocked out the referee. Sabu tried for a springboard leg lariat, but Show caught him and tossed him with a fallaway slam.

The referee was still out cold as Sabu tossed out the chair and covered Show. A second referee ran in, but Show got his shoulder up at the two count. Sabu went to ringside and grabbed the bell.
The Finish:[/u]
Despite the referee protesting, Sabu hit Show with the bell at the nine minute mark. Show was busted open, but kept getting back up, so Sabu kept hitting him in the head with the bell. Sabu finally knocked Big Show over the top rope, and Show crashed through the table at ringside.
Winner:[/u] The Big Show by Disqualification

Show was out cold on the floor as they started to show replays from the match. Show was shown starting to move on the floor, blood pouring out of his head, as Sabu stood in the ring, still holding the bell. Styles pointed out that Sabu did say Show was "going down" tonight, and he did.
