Smackdown-ECW Summerslam Tour 2007

Noel and I went down to the Singapore Indoor Stadium to watch WWE live.
It has been 4 long years since they last came down to our shores and we were not about to miss it this time either.



the opening match was "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters versus "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair:

A great opener as it got the crowd really into it. There is only one Ric Flair, and Chris Masters has a persona that you just love to hate.

Then it was Deuce & Domino versus the Major Brothers. To be honest I was not really into these 2 teams, but in the end the energy and athleticism was contagious. Deuce and Domino were sleazy and sneaky. The Majors played their face role to a T. And of course there was Cherry to look forward to when the action in the ring got dull...



It was followed by a Diva's match pitching Michelle McCool vs Victoria.
A decent contest (sad to say, no puppies were on display). But lacked the ring psychology to draw in the crowds. But a good effort by both ladies. Victoria was great as usual. Michelle showed great in-ring presence of mind, an improved skill set and athleticism.



Then it was time for the ECW guys to show what they could do. Ring veteran Steven Richards sparred off against the leader of the new breed, Elijah Burke.



Then it was on to the first big match of the night. Finlay and Kane faced off. People just can't get enough of Kane. Too bad WWE are pushing him as hard as they could. But isn't that always the case?
Hornswaggle is so over it was crazy. people just love the little guy.



A great comedy match, will all 3 participants sending the fans home happy.

Then ECW took the spotlight as Tommy Dreamer took on John Morrison (formerly known as Johnny Nitro) for the ECW Championship.




The next match marked the return of Rey Mysterio as he faced off against the man who put him out of commission in the first place Chavo Guerrero. The crowd was hot for Rey-Rey throughout.



It was then time for the main event.
"The Animal" Batista faced off against the Great Khali for the World Heavyweight Championship.







Mid way through the match Finlay and Hornswaggle did a run-in causing a disqualification for Khali. Kane rushed in to make the save.
A challenge was issued and it was officially made into a tag match pitting the team of Khali & Finlay vs Kane and Batista.







All in all a great event. Too bad many of the superstars either could not make it or did not have matches. The crowd was realy hot throughout as is usually the case in these out-of-states house shows. Everyone had fun no doubt.

Superstars that did not make it on the show:
Edge(injured)
Undertaker(injured)
CM Punk
Marcus Cor Von
Mark Henry
Torrie Wilson
Matt Hardy
Montel Vontavious Porter/MVP
the Cruiserweights!!
Boogeyman
Matt Striker
Extreme Expose
...and of course Chris Benoit
