I'll do a smaller review like I of RAW/SD! It won't be as long because it's only an hour show. But I know a lot of people never watched the new ECW, but in 2009 I've stated that it and SD! were both stellar and they were the two top shows in the WWE over RAW. Anywho, Live from Baton Rouge, La. here's ECW!
We open the show with the ECW roster all in a room and Tiffany walks in to address them about the next of evolution of the WWE, NXT, and how they can can choose to go to RAW or SD! as free agents after next week. She then told everyone to have fun the next two weeks, as she grabbed a clear cup of alcohol and put on Mardi-Gras beads, because Mardi-Gras starts next week and the Saints won the Superbowl. I just wish she had to take her top off to put on those beads, too bad it's not Mardi-Gras yet so ECW remains boob-less. Sorry Tommy, yeah I saw that tweet last night. "Well I just posted a blog on WWE Universe. You should check it out. ECW GM Tiffany if you are gonna put beads on, something comes off" Love ya man haha. Then Zack Ryder complains about her not doing her job or something which leads Tiffany to bust out, no not of her top, a "Woo Woo Woo".
Yoshi Tatsu/Goldust beat Trent Barreta/Caylen Croft in a #1 Contender Match for the Unified Tag Team Championships: 5/10 or 2.5/5 Stars
Our first match of the evening. And these young guys Trent/Baretta are growing on me. The 14-16 year olds can idenitify with them, they're solid in the ring, and look to be good at getting heat from the crowd. I still don't get why Goldie and "The Cardiac Kid" are a tag team, but they've got great chemistry and I can definitely see Tatsu in the USC/ICC title picture in his career, cause he's gotten very good in ring. His Super Spinning Heel Kick from the top rope is sick. Anywho end match, they've been working on Goldie the second half of the match. Tatsu gets the hot tag, as well as Croft. Tatsu hits spinning heel kick, double kness to the chest in the corner, a snap-mare roll with into a kick to the chest, the three buzz-saw like kicks (Thanks for posting Tajiri), then the super spinning heel kick to get a two count on Croft. Goldie hits a massive bulldog on Barreta after he broke up a pin-fall. Tatsu/Croft left in the ring and Croft is busted open pretty bad, BLOOD! Both men up and Tatsu hits the straight kick to tha face and get's the 1-2-3. Goldust/Tatsu get to face ShowMiz next week for the UTTCs on the final episode of the new ECW.
Ezekiel Jackson beat Jobber From LA: 1/10 or 0.5/5 Stars
A squash to show Big Zeke is still a monster no need for it in my book. But since he's starting to grow on me I like it when the guy just f***s someone up for no reason. Haha. After the match they go to find, hopefully the plastered and topless by now (Sorry McEntyre), general manager Tiffany and demands a last ECWC match against Christian next week on the final New ECW. She obliges him, no not like that, and goes one step further makes it Extreme Rules. Holy f*** a no DQ match this week and an Extreme Rules match next week. This can't be New ECW. It isn't and your canceled. (Thanks for posting WCW and original ECW)
Shelton Benjamin beat Vance Archer in a No DQ/No Count Out Match: 6/10 or 3/5 Stars
My God the new ECW is doing what the old ECW did. Vince either fell asleep during the taping of this match, or just doesn't care any more. I say give Tiffany some of Vinces meds so she'll finally take her top off. Anywho we get blood for the second time of the night Byron Leftwhich/Matthews bust out the serious voices, and Vince was awake for this part and sent out the trainer squad. Cause seeing blood is unsophisticated, but Triple H doing gay jokes on SD! isn't. Gotta love consistency (Thanks for posting common sense). My God they're using weapons too? Vince what did you get slipped to allow this? Is RVD back there and you walked through his Pot-Ring? Anywho end match Archer hits a sweet sipebuster (or powerbomb) from the 2nd rope that gets a long 2, the Archer begins to work on Sheltons mid section with irish whips into the corner, and the good old abdominal stretch. Shelton comes back and hits a wicked Dragon Whip on Archer which garners a 2 count. Archer then tries to set up his reverse DDT, and Shelton counters into a massive German Suplex. Archer side steps Shelton jumping at him in the corner, Shelton the climbs to the top rope and a huge Top-Rope Blockbuster that rocked Archer. And finally Shelton hits Pay Dirt for the 1-2-3. Very good match to end ECW. I like Archer, not just cause he's from Dallas, and Shelton too. Shelton needs to hold a title on SD! or RAW he's just too good to keep title-less.
ECW: 6/10 or 3/5 Stars
Solid action, and good storylines make (or made) ECW a pleasure to watch in 2009, and it looks like their going out strong. Shelton/Archer was good, and WWE has me wondering what will happen to the ECWC after ECW is done? Scrap it, make it a second tier belt, let Mark Henry use it as a girdle? These are the questions that need to be answered! Thanks for reading!
