Some three way spots to start out but I was really impressed with how the match progressed on the outside and we get an inspired brawl with triple juice. Both Joey and Joel are openly mocking TNN on commentary so you know the partnership is not log for this world. Referee gets bumped back inside which is disappointing but the cane shots were brutal which was a welcome change after the Nitro plunder shots. The Danny Daniels heel ref shtick was less impressive. Lynn goes to cradle him when Francine jumps on his back. Another cane shot from Credible and the That’s Incredible but HC Loc breaks up the Danny Daniels count. Lynn’s elimination was good with a superkick by Corino and another That’s Incredible to pin him. Back and forth between Credible and Corino is good but there is just too much bullshit between Dawn Marie, Jack Victory, Francine and the referees for it to reach a high level. Credible ends up stealing the pin which is deflating. The in ring action was good here and the tricks and distractions were not needed. ***1/4 (6.3)

The whole thing just felt pedestrian to me. Could be personal bias but Lynn felt passed by as the hot hand so to speak, and Corino seemed ready for the main event spot. I know with Minnesota coming up that Lynn made sense, and they ended up going to Corino soon after anyway but Lynn feels like sort of a placeholder during this time period. The action is fine and Lynn does a pretty nice bladejob before getting eliminated. The Corino and Credible stuff didn't come off as organically as their singles match earlier in the month. There it felt chaotic in a good way. Here it felt like a trainwreck of way too much going on and it just couldn't be convincing enough to matter. Still a solid match but didn't hit all the right notes.

No more Dawn Marie with the ‘King of Old School’ as Jack Victory is back in Steve Corino’s corner for this ‘Three Way Dance’ for the ECW World title.  A Lynn headscissors sends Corino out to the floor and he’s quickly joined by Credible who is backdropped over the top rope and onto him.  Plancha from the top turnbuckle out onto both.  Credible kicks out after a Lynn tornado DDT and then puts a stop to his early dominance by floating over and planting him with a reverse DDT.  Cyrus talks about their previous feud, saying how Jerry amassed more than a dozen victories over Credible and that nobody in the company has more wins over the current World champion that he does.  Francine passes her man a chair which he repeatedly slams Lynn’s head into busting him open.  Credible takes a flip bump over the turnbuckles and out onto the apron, where he’s then sent flying into the guard rail courtesy of a Corino clubbing blow.  Lynn dropkicks a chair into Corino’s face before turning his attention to the champion, clotheslining him over the top tope to the outside.  After dumping them in the front row he launches himself at the pair and you can now see that all three are bleeding.  Back inside Lynn and Credible trade blows, referee Mike Kehner standing far too close to the action for my liking.  Corino takes out Credible, goes to nail Lynn, who ducks the shot, and he accidentally levels Kehner.  Called it!  Credible uses his Singapore cane to break up the attempted cradle piledriver and then drills Corino between the eyes.  Cradle piledriver and Danny Daniels is out to replace Kehner.  I wonder how this is going to play out.  Daniels stops his count at two claiming the champion got a shoulder up, he never, it’s just more of this tedious bullshit with him.  Lynn goes to piledrive Daniels when Francine is in the ring and on his back.  Credible blasts Jerry with the cane, ‘That’s Incredible’ and as Daniels is about to count the fall he’s slugged by H.C. Loc.  It’s OVW with the referees fighting each other!  Lynn looks for a second cradle piledriver, this time though Corino superkicks him, Credible reverses, ‘That’s Incredible’ and the man who’s got the title match at the PPV is the first person to be eliminated.  Francine trips up Corino, who takes off after her but she’s cut off by Victory.  He’s blindsided by Credible who then turns into a superkick for a razor close near fall.  The two are just destroying each other with chops, Credible ‘wimping out’ first and low blowing his opponent instead.  As Corino tries to get to his feet Francine tapes his wrists to the top rope and he’s at the mercy of the champions who repeatedly blasts him around the head with cane shot after cane shot.  She passes Credible another chair but Corino escapes the attempted ‘That’s Incredible’ and lands an ‘Old School Expulsion’ onto it.  Francine breaks up the pin and here’s Dawn Marie as Joey Styles squeals “catfight”.  The finish comes as Francine canes Corino from the floor and the champ finally hits ‘That’s Incredible’ going into Anarchy Rulz with the gold still around his waist.

I did enjoy this but there was way too much outside interference and Francine was far too involved.  This Danny Daniels shit is a complete momentum killer and the sooner we see the back of him the better.  Agree with the comments about Corino surpassing Lynn, although with him being the first to be eliminated here as well as the PPV coming from his home town it does kinda signal what will happen come Anarchy Rulz.
