Here is your preview for tonight's edition of ECW from WWE.com:
CM Punk, ECW’s fastest-rising young star, shocked the Land of the Extreme and his legion of fans when he joined the conniving New Breed last week on ECW on Sci Fi. He told WWE.com why he made his decision, but will he have anything to say before the fans in Italy? And what does his acquisition mean to the New Breed’s battle for supremacy in ECW with the Originals? What repercussions await the New Breed and CM Punk this week? Find out as ECW on Sci Fi goes international.
Things looked bleak for the Originals as one of their cornerstones, Sabu, appeared to be severely injured after New Breed leader Elijah Burke aggravated a neck injury he suffered at his hands in an Extreme Rules Eight-Man-Tag Team Match. What is the Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal, Death-Defying Maniac’s condition? And with the addition of Punk to the New Breed, will the Originals be forced to seek reinforcements?
An exuberant Mr. McMahon boasted last week that he showed ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley – in bloody fashion on Raw – that he would make his life a living hell after he embarrassed him at WrestleMania 23. The Chairman has vowed to take the ECW World Championship when Lashley defends the title in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match against the billionaire, his son Shane and Umaga at Backlash. Will Lashley have a response to the maniacal, bald billionaire?
Snitsky showed the Land of the Extreme that no one – not even Extreme Exposé – is safe when he’s around. But Balls Mahoney thwarted the evil intentions the deranged monster had for Exposé’s Layla.
Are these two headed for a collision course? Find out Tuesday night at 10/9 CT on ECW on Sci Fi.
The NY Post posted this article on the marital issues between Hulk Hogan and wife Linda:
April 17, 2007 -- HAS the longest, strongest marriage in professional wrestling history suffered a fatal, bone-crunching blow?
Sources close to Hulk and Linda Hogan, who've been wedded for more than 20 years, say they're "going through a very hard time and their marriage is under a lot of strain."
The problems started several years ago when the Hogan family - including the couple's kids, aspiring pop singer Brooke and amateur race-car driver Nick - started filming the VH1 show "Hogan Knows Best." One friend said, "They have different beliefs on how to raise kids. Brooke started her music career, and they started getting into fights."
Some of the well-documented battles on the show have been over how scantily clad Brooke - just 18 when she did her first major magazine - should be, or how late she could stay out with boyfriends.
During the show, the Hogans moved from their longtime residence in Tampa to a Miami mansion, and also bought houses in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. While either Linda or Hulk traveled with Brooke or Nick to their various events, they rarely traveled together. Another source of tension was Hulk, 53, desperately wanting to get back into wrestling, while Linda wanted to body-block the idea, fearing he could get hurt.
At one point, the friend said, "Linda got so fed up she quit the VH1 show. She just walked off. No one knows what started that fight but it was serious." Linda is now back on set to film the fourth season.
Another insider said, "At one point they were talking divorce. It's still precarious."
A rep for the Hogans declined comment. But Hulk's wrestling manager, Jimmy Hart, told us, "There's ups and downs in every marriage. I was with them last weekend in Miami shooting the show and everything seemed fine.
"Dionne Warwick was there to do a song with Brooke, and Linda seemed fine. Ever since they went to marriage counseling on that VH1 show, people have said there were problems, but it's fine."
