  2. Oversleeping on Tuesday: ECW 2/24/09

    1 Comment

    Ok, ok, I technically didn’t oversleep on Tuesday.  I just passed on watching ECW to cheer on my beloved Buffalo Sabres as they took on the Anaheim Ducks (and you have no idea how hard it was for me to not just type “The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim”).  Sadly, the Sabres lost 3-2.  The plan was to watch ECW at some point today, but I went out early and fell asleep when I came home.  I didn’t wake up until 10 minutes after I normally leave for work, so I still haven’t seen the show.  So, here I am with results in hand.   I’m not going to give a lot of insight to this episode, but only because I haven’t seen it and the results aren’t very detailed that I happen to have.

    Mark Henry def. DJ Gabriel – Thanks for coming, DJ.  Now get your Alex Wright wannabe ass back to FCW.

    Tyson Kidd def. Some Local Jobber – The dungeon has made many a championship wrestler.  Beating guys who aren’t important enough to mention their names more than once isn’t exactly how you go about winning championships, though.

    Tommy Dreamer def. Paul Burchill – If this were the real ECW, this match would probably be a main event, probably would’ve lasted longer, Tommy would’ve still gotten the win, but with the assist from a telephone and some chicken wire (Tommy was like the MacGuyver of pro wrestling) instead of The Boogeyman, and Katie Lea probably would have eaten a piledriver.

    Jack Swagger def. Christian to retain the ECW Championship – Swagger and Christian have each defeated each other in singles competition, Swagger getting his win when the title was on the line.  Hmm.  I wonder what they’re going to do with the ECW Championship at WrestleMania 25?

    Thanks for reading!

  5. Why I hate: WWE One Night Stand

    This article is part 4 of a series on WWE Pay Per View events.  See also:  Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.  At the time of this writing, the event in question is still titled WWE One Night Stand, though rumor has it that the name will change this year to WWE Extreme Rules.

    Welcome back to my series on WWE Pay Per Views and why there are way too damned many of them.  This is especially true in the month of June, where there are two of them – WWE One Night Stand and WWE Night of Champions.  This week, I take a look at One Night Stand.

  6. I shouldn’t oversleep on Tuesdays

    I overslept last night, and decided “ah, screw it, I’ll just fake my way through an ECW on SciFi review this week.”  I really wish I hadn’t, because I just can’t do it justice, given that this happened:

    That’s right, kiddies, the Instant Classic, Captain Charisma, Christian has returned to the WWE!  While I’m disappointed that he’s a face on ECW rather than a heel on SmackDown, it’s still exciting to watch!

    I also missed The Miz defeating Tommy Dreamer, Tyson Kidd, who trained in the Hart family Dungeon, debuted with Natalya by his side and defeated local boy Bao Nguyen, and Christian defeating Jack Swagger with help from Finlay and Hornswoggle.

    From now on, I run all my errands on Wednesdays so I can get to sleep earlier and wake up in time for ECW!
