ECW got a 1.4 rating on Tuesday night. (PWI) That's up from a 1.2 last week.
Unreported until now was/is the fact JBL and John Morrison got into a physical altercation after last night's Smackdown taping. The whole thing started when Bradshaw gathered several wrestlers together backstage including Matt Hardy, MVP, CM Punk, The Miz and John Morrison. He berated Morrison and Miz for the commentary they did during ECW and said that their back and forth exchanges overshadowed the Punk/Jamie Noble match. (My ECW on Sci-Fi Live Recap definitely confirms this.) The oddest part is that Bradshaw was mad that THEY MADE CM PUNK LOOK BAD. I know - I had to picture the idea of Bradshaw sticking up for Punk two to three times in my head before I could actually believe it. Bradshaw told both Miz and Morrison to apologize to Punk. Miz did so with some degree of grace but Morrison took exception and told JBL that it wasn't his job to tell him what to do, cursed at JBL, and then SHOVED him. The two then went back and forth before John Laurinaitis and other WWE staffers broke it up. (PWI) For good or bad JBL has long been acknowledged as the wrestling enforcer backstage, and since he's in good with Vince McMahon this is undoubtedly going to turn out badly for Morrison, who's already skating on thin ice for having to serve a 30 day steroid suspension and drop the title to Punk as a result.
