ECW on ScyFy Review
The night immediately opened with a match, as it should. I hate the SCYFY name change, it just seems dumb to me. I wish Christian had a better push considering he left a top dog position at TNA to come back to wwe, only to job and get occasional wins over bigger guys. But it’s not worse than his oppnent…
Shelton Benjamin defeated Christian
Shelton went from having the U.S. Championship to being a jobber to being a jobber on ecw, just continual slide. Vladimir Kozlov came down to ringside and Christian got distracted. Shelton was definitely in control of this match, especially when considering that as we went to break, things were getting bad for Christian as Kozlov simply walked down to ringside and distracted him. Christian managed to get his bearings towards the end of the match with a nicely executed Missile Dropkick, but was favoring his shoulder and couldn’t simply put away Benjamin. Christian went to the top rope, but Shelton jumped up to meet him and hit a Top Rope DDT! A picture perfect move, and it seemed to be going wrong for Christian, and surely it was because a few moments later Benjamin hit Pay Dirt and won the match! I was surprised by this one.
Yoshi Tatsu defeated Paul Burchill
This match was all Yoshi, and it looked to be an ok match up. Yoshi was looking like a house on fire, but one slip up in the corner and things looked bad. Yoshi was going for a springboard but missed the top rope, slipped, and ran into Paul’s side suplex. Yoshi kicked Paul in the head and pinned him, he wins again. Yoshi isn’t half bad, it’s nice to see a new face on ECW.
Goldust defeated Zack Ryder
Zack Ryder sucks. Goldust? Well he hasn’t made it back completely. This match seemed like a b-show level match up. Goldust was fast, I haven’t seen him this fast in a while. He was in full control and showing off that he still had a lot of wrestling ability with picture perfect rope running, and picture perfect Japanese arm drags, you would think this was the heyday of mid 90’s wrestling. Ryder put on an ok show, but he seems to have lost a little weight, so maybe he’s on the juice. Goldust was slowed down mid match, with some rest holds, building up to something, sooner than later. In the end he would never recover Zack Ryder turned the momentum into a win, and Goldust is put into his place, losing again in the WWE.
Sheamus defeated Roman Cornell (jobber)
Sheamus is back in ECW, because WWE is desperately trying to make new characters stick. That being said, Sheamus just won with four moves and that was about it. Sheamus totally squashed the jobber, which is something that I’ve hated since I was kid…well maybe not too much when I was a kid cause I didn’t know better.
Kozlov defeated Tommy Dreamer
Tommy Dreamer got worked for the most part, Kozlov had a lot of offense that Dreamer couldn’t answer to. The Iron Curtain came down and Kozlov won. The match was slow moving, and I still think that Tommy Dreamer should retire. Kozlov slowly took apart Dreamer, and won with somewhat of an easy time.
Post match Christian ran down to fight Kozlov only to get beat up.
Overall ECW was fast and boring. I didn’t really like anything too much and I don’t think that it is moving into past jobber territory. I wouldn’t be surprised if ECW was no more within a year.
