ECW



Yoshi v.Regal

- Lots of Regal sucks chants
- Very back and forth match
- Yoshi performs a VERY nice head kick
- Yoshi Wins

Ezekiel Jackson vs Mike Williams (jobber)

- It was very shameful watching Mike Williams just walk to the ring with no intro music.
- The match can be described in three phrases: thunderous kick, clothesline, standing rock bottom
- Ezekiel Wins
- Kozlov interrupts looks at Ezekiel and then slams Mike
- "Poor jobber..."

Goldust Vs Shelton Benjamin

- Match was heavy on Irish whips
Another back and forth match until Goldust performs a sidewalk slam on Benjamin and gains a near pinfall
- Lots of cheering for Benjamin. I wonder if we, the fans are slowly turning him into a "face"
- Benjamin Wins

Shamus Promo

- Sounds like he was ragging on Finley a bit.

"Night of Champions" Vignette

Backstage, Gregory Helms interviews Paul Burchill about his match against Tyler Rex. Goldust interrupts and Katie reminds Paul to keep focused on his match.

Tyler Rex Vs. Paul Burchill

- Katie is a HOTTIE!
- Lots of passing around my binoculars to check out Katie
- Very "Smash mouth" type of match!
- Lots of power grapples and hard hits followed by a hard slam by Tyler
- Tyler Wins

- The Abraham Washington Show -

- The WWE crew ran out with the furniture and setup for this show was pretty fast
- This has had to be the greatest edition of the show I have seen yet.
- Abe Washington continues his fat jokes on Tommy Dreamer
- Christian comes off as being very "tweener-esque"
- Speaking of Christian, my row was across from the row of the girls, holding the golden glittery "peeps" sign.
- Note: My seat was the front of the first balcony nearest the ramp. I had a nice view of the Abe Washington show!
- "SLAP FEST!" You might think that Christian slapping Dreamer was crazy, try watching that in person! That slap was wild.
- I now have a new found appreciation for the new ECW title. Its not pretty color wise but it really does sparkles and its a beauty to look at.
- Great jokes from Abe, lots of heat between Dreamer and Christian, this was the greatest way to End ECW before the pay per view!
- I found it "cute" that they had the camera high enough that the WWE crew could pull away the smaller bits of furniture, without interrupting the flow of the segment.

Superstars



-SmackDown event only

Kane vs. John Morrison
- DAMN YOU Kane! Thanks for almost taking away my hearing! Yes, his pyros are loud and hot. I could feel the heat from my seat!
- Nice chokeslam reversed into a starship pain
- This match alone makes watching this Thrusday's "WWE Superstars" VERY worth it!
- Kane loses because he hits Morrison with a chair
- Kahli comes out to save Morrison from another chair shot
- Morrison hits Kane with a chair from behind while he is distracted by Kahli
- It was very funny watching everyone and dancing along with Kahli's theme music. I hope they get that on cam.
