Tommy Dreamer Vs Colin Delaney

Tommy Dreamer came out first as the announcer announced that this match will be contested under extreme rules. Dreamer wheeled out a shopping cart full of some of his favorite weapons. Colin Delaney came out next not looking eager at all for this match. Tommy Dreamer of course is set out for revenge on Delaney for turning his back on him, most recently last week as Delaney interfered in Dreamers match that cost him his match against Armando Estrada. Colin Delaney hesitated getting in the ring for the match and when the bell rang to start the match he tried to run up the ramp but Tommy Dreamer chased him down and started beating on him. Dreamer continued working on him until Delaney was surprisingly able to turn things around for a moment. Delaney tried to jump off the steel chairs with a trash can lid to ram Dreamer in the head but was caught with a kendo stick to the midsection by Dreamer. Dreamer finally threw Delaney into the ring, taking the trash can lid in with him and the kendo stick. In the ring Dreamer whacked Delaney hard with the kendo stick. He then used the kendo stick to support a slam move. With Delaney hanging upside down in the corner of the ropes Dreamer used to trash can as he kicked it into Delaney's head. Delaney then got momentum briefly again but a DDT by Tommy Dreamer ended it as Dreamer got the cover and the win.

Lena Yada is back stage to interview the Miz and John Morrison. Lena congratulated them on their premier of 'The Dirt Sheet' last week on ECW.

Evan Bourne Vs Bam Neely with Chavo Guerrero

Evan Bourne came out first. Bam Neely came out next escorted by Chavo Guerrero. Bam Neely of course was not 100% after being surprise attacked by Edge last week on Smackdown. The high flying Evan Borne started this match looking good connecting on some flying kicks. Bourne later was going up to the corner turn buckle but had to keep his eye on Chavo Guerrero, this lowed Bourne and allowed Bam Neely to come over and knock Bourne out of the ring. Neely went out and threw Evan Bourne back in the ring and started working on him. He then gave Bourne a monster clothesline and tried to pin him but only got a two count. Evan Bourne was then able to gain control of the match again and then gave a DDT to Bam Neely after Neely had him in the air. Evan Bourne then went air born and hit the shooting star to get the pin and the victory. just a random thought here but Evan Bourne and Rey Mysterio could make a great tag team one day wouldn't they?
