4th September 2007 – Extreme Championship Wrestling from Toronto, Canada.
CM Punk vs Kevin Thorn:
The opening contest of the night's action saw CM Punk take on the vampire, Kevin Thorn. It was Punk, who began the contest in good shape, using his arsenal of kicks and chops to bring Thorn down to size. However, as soon as Punk started to show a bit more aggression, Thorn nailed a huge big boot, which sent CM Punk to his knees. Then, Thorn dragged Punk onto the top rope, looking for his finisher, Original Sin, but Punk managed to pull him onto his shoulders and nailed the GTS! 1...2...3!

Segment One & Two:
As Punk celebrates, we see Joey Styles and Tazz hyping the rest of the show, until suddenly:
NO CHANCE IN HELL!
Vince McMahon powerwalks to the ring, takes a microphone and starts to talk about how Canada is full of moose faeces. The hostile crowd start to verbally abuse him and shout you screwed Bret at the top of their lungs. McMahon carries on, by saying that their was only one man to become GM of RAW, and that man is his son, Shane McMahon!
Shane comes down to the ring and thanks his father, before cutting into Mick Foley. Shane says ECW is second-rate to RAW, and his first act as GM will be for Survivor Series, after Unforgiven. He says there will be a 5 on 5 Elimination match between RAW and ECW, where the losing brand's GM loses their job! Foley appears on the screen and accepts the challenge, saying It Won't Be A Nice Day for you, Shane!
Rating: A
Segment Three:
With the crowd excited at the last announcement, the cameras cut to backstage, where the Alpha Male, Marcus Cor Von is lining up at a drinks machine. All of a sudden, a manic Kane runs at him and clotheslines him into the machine! Cor Von drops onto the floor, as Kane picks him by his neck and CHOKESLAMS HIM ONTO THE FALLEN MACHINE! With his work done, Kane walks off and out-of-nowhere, Ron Simmons stands next to Cor Von. After a long pause, there is only one word: DAMN!

John Morrison vs DH Smith - Extreme Rules:
Smith is accompanied by his new manager, Stevie Richards in his grudge match against the Tuesday Night Delight. Morrison starts with a brutal barrage of shots to the chin, as DH Smith looks to beat him down. It doesn't take long for the weapons to be introduced, as Morrison throws a trash can at Smith, causing him to fall through the ropes. Morrison takes the fight outside, throwing Smith into the steel steps outside. John Morrison starts to laugh and grabs a chair, but Stevie Richards superkicked the chair into Morrison's face! Smith took advantage and picked Morrison up, before hitting a Running Powerslam onto the chair for the win!
Rating: C
Segment Four:
Smith thanks his mentor, Richards for his help, as Morrison struggles to his feet. The scene fades to ECW's newest interviewer, Steve Romero with Rob Van Dam in the locker room area. Van Dam doesn't give Romero the chance to say anything, saying how Carlito is a disgrace to the name of E-C-W and he doesn't deserve to hold the ECW Heavyweight Championship, which is why R-V-D will take it from Carlito at Unforgiven...
Rating: B
Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs Carlito & Elijah Burke:
The match began with Sabu and Carlito, battling it out. Sabu began to batter with the champ with a number of springboard moves and somersault sentons. Carlito tagged in Burke, but the two were thrown of the ring by a double triangle dropkick from RVD & Sabu. With Burke facing of against Sabu, Burke started to hammer with Sabu with punches to the ribs and nose. The New Breed isolated Sabu, wearing him down and double-teaming him, whenever the referee wasn't looking. As Sabu neared the end, he finally tagged in RVD, who came in like a bulldozer. Van Dam managed to clear out Burke and delivered a lethal Rolling Thunder to the legal man, Carlito. Van Dam went to the turnbuckle for the Five Star Frog Splash, but as Elijah Burke went to hit him with a steel pipe, Sabu managed to land the Triple Jump Moonsault, giving RVD time to hit the splash and win the match!
Rating: B
Segment Five:
With RVD & Sabu celebrating, the lights flash in the arena and dramatic music starts. Red smoke starts to formulate around the arena and messages such as 'He_arrives', 'No_one_is_spared' and '16_09_07' appear. ECW goes off the air in an apparent glitch. Who is behind this code?
