ECW Real Time Report: Match By Match Coverage
By "Realtime" Mike Rickard II
Last week, Matt Hardy became the number one contender for the ECW championship. However when the champion is "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, it's very easy for the hunter to become the hunted.
VIDEO: Highlight from Matt Hardy's Fatal Four Way victory last week on ECW. As a result of his win, Matt is the #1 contender for the ECW championship. ECW color commentator Tazz reminds the fans that Mike Adamle was made RAW General Manager last night and is no longer on ECW. Tazz introduces the new announcer for ECW-Todd Grisham. Matt Hardy is in the ring. Matt talks about how psyched he was when he was drafted to ECW. He's always been a big fan of ECW and he's been in so many extreme style matches that ECW was a perfect fit. Now, he has the biggest opportunity of his career at Summer Slam when he faces Mark Henry for the ECW championship. Just then "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry and manager Tony Atlas saunter out. Tony "Mouthful of Marbles" Atlas tells Hardy he knows he's initimidated. Atlas reminds Hardy that since Henry was drafted to ECW, he beat Kane and the Big Show for the ECW title. Since Hardy was drafted, he lost the United States championship. Atlas tells Hardy he didn't come out to talk about Hardy's problems. Instead, they have another demonstration. Atlas gets a steel rod for Henry and Henry bends it in half. Atlas tells Hardy that's what he can look forward to at Summer Slam. Henry hands the rod to Hardy who feigns hitting Henry with it. Hardy tells Atlas there's a difference between Hardy and the bar. At Summer Slam, it's not going to be a bar bending contest. Inanimate objects don't fight back-Matt Hardy fights back. Henry may be strong enough to break every bone in Hardy's body, but he can't break his spirit. The two continue trash talking in the ring.
