ECW & WWE Monday Night Raw TV Tapings
Location: Moline, IL (The Mark of the Quad Cities)
Report By: Adam Martin of WrestleView.com

I attended the ECW/WWE Monday Night Raw TV tapings on Monday night in Moline, IL at The Mark of the Quad Cities. First up was the ECW TV tapings to air next week on November 7.

Dark Match:

- World Tag Team Champions The Spirit Squad defeated The Highlanders. Crowd was very hot for this match. Many fans thought both tag teams were now in ECW since they came out from the ECW entrance area. I guess the term "Dark Match" doesn't quite get around these days.

ECW on Sci Fi TV Tapings (Air Date: November 7):

- Tazz & Joey Styles came out to a nice pop from the crowd.

- CM Punk defeated Mike Knox in a Qualifying Match for the Extreme Elimination Chamber.

- Backstage, Elijah Burke talked about coming to ECW along with Sylvester Terkay.

- Paul Heyman came out to the ring with his security guards. Heyman had a gorilla mask in hand. They showed footage from the TV tapings on Sunday night in Milwaukee when Heyman attacked RVD as a gorilla. They had to show that footage to the crowd so we weren't confused. Heyman also announced he would team with ECW Champion The Big Show against Rob Van Dam & Hardcore Holly tonight in the main event.

- Daivari w/ The Great Khali defeated Little Guido w/ Trinity. After the match, Khali attacked Guido. I'd much rather see Khali in this "bodyguard" role for Daivari as it worked much better.

- Test defeated Tommy Dreamer in a Qualifying Match for the Extreme Elimination Chamber.

- ECW Champion Big Show & Paul Heyman vs. Rob Van Dam & Hardcore Holly ended in a No Contest. The match came to a close when Holly turned on RVD and attacked him as Heyman and Big Show looked on smiling. Holly hit a huge Alabama Slam over a steel chair on RVD.

I will be adding a post shortly about the fun I had with security at the show on Monday night.
