Comments: well I think I have mentioned it once somewhere in here, but just make sure these matches are relatively short, I mean the longest ones are 11 minutes, so as it relates to this match and if you are wondering why the Match Quality and Match Storyline individually only get 7/10, it does look and feel like they are working with the time may have which in this case is roughly 11 minutes, so individually or together most of us should know that these two wrestlers can go for a long time and put on an average extra matches. Now including the Raw Anti-ECW Crusaders on the balcony the crowd were I am just going to say loud.

Now but something has come to my attention that between Styles and Foley in this match they put across this stipulation and I know Styles put it across in the previous match/match slot as well. So I got thinking why didn't one or both of them bring it up in the first match/match slot? So I went back and watched it, the basically ran this opening match/match slot in every way shape or form as a normal Singles Match, but I did hear I am paraphrasing Style praising this Referee [Mike Kehner] for being consistent with his counting of the near falls. But for me pointing out as this night goes on the ECW Referees show a bit more leniency which we like to see, so on reflection this was foreshadowing for later on in this pay-per-view.

But back to here and now; I am paraphrasing again we have these two commentators discussing Styles: Highlighting this stipulation of this match. Foley: leniency being the key word here declaring a disqualification [let's look at this reply again] a little time later, as I was saying any official disqualifies a match, it would make what Bischoff got as a hero’s welcome with Styles quickly adding run out of town.

But as I have already pointed out they ran the first match on this card as a normal Singles Match; which I understand and I get a warming up  process of this pay-per-view and the foreshadowing. But it does feel like that this commentary team has forgotten that they were disappointed on; how the first match went down, so based on the fact we are on a ECW pay-per-view and the land of the extreme, why were this commentary team disappointed on what went down in the first match/match slot? It just makes them look a little bit silly as it relates to continuity and finally JBL and Orlando Jordan showing support and praise for Benoit; trying to entice him over to The Anti-ECW Crusaders: SmackDown Superstars from up in the balcony with Benoit buying it [likewise just a roundabout the same time; they put this over on commentary as well.]

Basic Result: "The Crippler" Chris Benoit  pick up the win

Briefly things to know:

* "The Quintessential Stud Muffin" Joel: is unfortunately back for another demoralising and saddening segment, but this time he approaches The Anti-ECW Crusaders: Raw, specifically Eric Bischoff with this slow build-up to ask him for a job, he will do anything. I will somewhat speed this up it is another segment where it very much reminds us that ECW where beneath WWE and they want to remind us of that fact.

* Mick Foley & Joey Styles: Commentary talk about what they have just seen and camera shot of outside of where this pay-per-view is taking place which is the Hammerstien Ballroom/Manhattan Centre, Manhattan, New York City, USA with Styles advertising this pay-per-view

* Stephen Deangelis: Ringer announcer introduces the next match.
