THE FIRE BURNS BRIGHT
Sunday, April 27, 2008
Baltimore, MD
source: wwe.com and pwtorch.com - The Fire still burns in the Land of the Extreme as ECW Champion Kane solidified his status at the top of the extreme brand by pinning Chavo Guerrero.

Chavo Guerrero came to the ring with Bam Neely. They showed a video clip from the Cutting Edge when Kane threatened Edge before Edge's familia beat him down and injured Kane's knee. Kane then walked out limping a little. Tony Chimel handled the formal intros, with Chavo getting the resounding boos. Kane was all cheers.

Chavo quickly went after the knee, but Kane tossed him over the top rope to buy some time. Kane didn't buy too much time, as he followed to the outside and Chavo rolled back into the ring. Chavo then tried a double axehandle off the apron, but Kane caught him in mid-air and rammed him into the ring apron. Chavo distracted the ref at 4:00, allowing Bam to wrap Kane's knee around the ringpost. Chavo got caught in the corner and Kane took him to the mat with an electric chair.

Kane followed with a giant boot in the face. Kane came off the top rope with a flying clothesline on Chavo. Chavo came back with a Tornado DDT, then Chavo took the knee out from behind and climbed up top. Chavo hit a top rope frog splash, but Kane, caught him around the throat as he came down. Kane came to his feet and landed a big chokeslam in center ring for the pin and the win.

Now that the Big Red Machine has proven his championship reign is no fluke, will Chavo Guerrero back off? Or will he continue to make Kane’s life a living hell on ECW?
