ECW Recap- The best Perfomance of ECW 2008

At the WWE headquarters in Stamford, CT, Matt Striker and Todd Grisham took a look back at the best highlight moments and matches of ECW in 2008. They revisited CM Punk winning the ECW title in September 2007 then defending against many superstars, until he met Chavo Guerrero in January of 2008.

- Highlights were shown of the January 2008 match where Chavo challenged Punk for his ECW title. Vickie Guerrero made sure it was a No DQ match, which allowed Edge to interfere and Spear Punk down. Chavo took the pin and the ECW title. Chavo celebrated on the ramp with Vickie Guerrero and Edge. Matt Striker discussed how CM Punk couldn't recapture the ECW title, but made many valiant attempts. Highlights were shown of Punk attacking Chavo at the ECW Fiesta celebration, and then of Punk tossing Chavo into the Gulf of Mexico.

- Wrestlemania 24's Money in the Bank Ladder Match was shown from March 30, 2008. The match included Shelton Benjamin, Mr. Kennedy, Chris Jericho, John Morrison, MVP and CM Punk. Punk ended up climbing the ladder after knocking Chris Jericho away to grab the MITB briefcase.

- Two Months later the Rated R-Superstar Edge visited Raw to inform everyone that his World Heavyweight title was off the table for anyone on Raw, including Batista who recently was drafted there. Batista took exception and came out to attack Edge, leaving him layed out in the ring. CM Punk then took the opportunity to cash in MITB and hit the GTS on Edge in the ring, pinned him and captured the World Heavyweight title.

CM Punk won the "OMG Moment of the Year" Slammy Award for capturing the title from Edge. Todd Grisham asked Striker how the GTS feels as highlights were shown of him on the receiving end of it.



- Wrestlemania XXIV's 24 Man Battle Royal highlights were shown. The winner of the contest got to face Chavo Guerrero for the ECW title later on. It came down to Kane vs. Mark Henry with Kane tossing Henry over the top rope. Later on, Chavo Guerrero awaited Kane's arrival to the ring for their title match. Kane showed up in the ring behind Chavo, and as Chavo turned the bell sounded. Kane chokeslammed Chavo and pinned him within 8 seconds to capture the ECW title.

- Kane went on a rampage defeating all opponents, until he came to a Triple Threat match against Mark Henry and Big Show at Night of Champions. Matt Striker said the entire weight in that match was 1,156 pounds. Kane attacked Big Show up on the corner suplexing him off. As Kane was still on the mat, Mark Henry won it by using a Splash move off the ropes onto Kane for the pinfall victory.

- Highlights were shown to display the dominance of Mark Henry the World's Strongest ECW Champ. Henry was shown slamming everyone from Colin Delaney to Evan Bourne, Tommy Dreamer and Finlay.



Highlights were shown of The Miz & Morrison who won the World Tag Team titles and 2 Slammy Awards. Todd Grisham listed out all the reasons to "Be Jealous" of the duo. Striker said Miz & Morrison have claimed they're the greatest tag team of the 21st Century.
