ECW Recap 08.14.07

ECW recap from Uncasville, CT:

Highlights of Mr. McMahon shown discussing his illegitimate child situation and his daughter Stephanie informing him it's one of the WWE superstars.

Coach standing in the ring with a table when the show started. Coach said he was here tonight to continue the investigation into who Vince's child is. Coach said one piece of business needs to be handled first. Coach introduced the brand new General Manager of ECW, Armando Estrada. Estrada came down to the ring wearing all white with cigars in the pocket. Estrada thanked Coach and Vince McMahon. Estrada told the crowd could refer to him as the new GM of ECW or the Hardcore Dictator. Estrada then conducted his first ever championship contract signing, with CM Punk and John Morrison coming down to the ring.

Morrison picked a mic up off the table and told Punk that where he's seated is as close as he's ever gonna get to "earthly paradise". Morrison signed the contract then tossed it to Punk telling him to think about it before he signed it. Morrison then told Punk he didn't even last 15 minutes in the ring with him last week. Punk picked up the mic and said that's only because he beat Morrison before the time expired, so he earned the title shot. Morrison and Punk stood up and began to get in each other's face, with Punk saying he'd be wearing the ECW title after Summerslam. Punk signed the contract as the two started to get in each other's face. Estrada then told Morrison he would face Boogeyman tonight and Punk would fight next against Big Daddy V.
