The show opened with Jack Swagger and Matt Hardy being interviewed in the middle of the ring. They each traded words before Hardy slugged Swagger and the fight was on. The two men will fight each other this weekend at the Royal Rumble for the ECW Title.
Ricky Ortiz defeated Adam Evans
Ricky Ortiz opened up the night of wrestling with a quick win on a jobber. This is boring. I haven’t liked jobber matches since I was a small child watching WWE Superstars and Wrestling Challenge on free television. This match was quick and Ortiz won without any problems.
The Boogeyman defeated Paul Burchill
The Boogeyman finally got a real opponent, and it was Paul Burchill. I didn’t know where this was going, as we have been seeing Boogeyman steamrolling opponents left and right. This match had Paul being the aggressor, fighting off the Boogeyman, but as the crowd started to chant Boogeyman things started to turn around. That’s right, there was a Boogeyman chant! Weird. Burchill’s sister came in and interfered with the match and cost Paul the win. The Boogeyman wns via disqualification!
John Morrison defeated Finlay, Mark Henry, and the Miz
ECW has been picking up the pace at the end with solid main events. This was no different, the four men in this match made things interesting to say the least. It had a lot of action, with every man getting spots in, including Mark Henry looking really strong for a change. The Miz and Morrison were in there working like a team, but Mark Henry looked to be the odds on favorite! Finlay was definitely out numbered as all his attempts to get some offense in were thwarted by Miz and Morrison. I never thought that the Miz would be over, but man, the guy has improved so much. Mark Henry all but quit the match near the end Finlay got a second wind and isolated The Miz and hit the Emerald Fusion, but couldn’t capitalize as Morrison stepped in to take the pinfall! John Morrison pins his own partner The Miz to win this match up!
