ECW TV Report - October 6, 2009

They gave Lauren Mayhew a tryout at ring announcing. Lord Steven Regal was introduced as interim general manager once again for this week. Hopefully they’ll keep him in this role as he’s always great as GM. He was, without a doubt, one of the best RAW GM’s of recent memory. Especially when recent memory includes a personal favourite, Mike Adamle.

Regal announced himself as the #1 contender for the ECW title until Christian came out with a janitor (Duke “The Dumpster” Droese, anyone?) Tony Atlas and Yoshi Tatsu. Christian had some good lines saying that the janitor was more deserving of the title shot because he accomplished something. Atlas should get the shot because of his goofy laugh (what about being in the Hall Of Fame?). yoshi was more deserving because he beat both Regal & Ryder. Yoshi kept saying ‘thank you’ over and over again. I guess this is the best way to use a good worker like Tatsu. Tiffany came out and saved us from this catastrophe of a ‘conversation’ and said that everyone would wrestle. Ryder vs. Christian for the title, Tatsu vs. Regal - and a tag match - when? NEXT!

Ezekiel Jackson & Vladamir Kozlov vs. Tommy Dreamer & Goldust
With the horrific mobile limitions of Jackson & Kozlov this was a pretty forgettable match with Jackson getting a poor looking uranage on Dreamer out of no where.

We go backstage where Lord Steven Regal was kissing up to Tiffanny who mentioned that John Cena may just come to ECW after the Bragging rights PPV. Yea, ok. I’d like to see that one.

Yoshi Tatsu d. Lord Steven Regal
Match started off with ‘Let’s Go Yoshi’ chants and ended with ‘this is boring’ chants. Good to see Tatsu go over. Both guys were off on their spots wich started the ‘boring’ chants. Then again, I think we can thank whoever wrote the ‘boring’ line that Shawn Michaels delivered earlier this week on making that chant ‘cool’ again. Kinda reminds me how Steve Austin ruined Lance Storm’s WWF career by making the ‘boring’ chants a trend amongst the live crowds for quite some time. Here’s how that gem transpired.

Christian went to a no contest with Zack RyderAs they have been doing in house shows for the last several months, this one one of the best matches on TV in recent memory. Cheap ending to a good match. Finals of the match saw Christian hit a plancha onto Ryder onto floor - that’s when Kozlov attacked Christian for the DQ/No contest. After the match, Jackson & Kozlov hit the finishers on Christian. Ryder was upset that his match was ruined. Good 12 minute match here. It’s matches like these that make me actually make ECW a great wrestling show (that is a show with actaul good ‘wrestling’ in it.)
