Unfortunately the most uninteresting part of the show is first, and the most annoying. The whore sisters come out and tell us their names and they are the Bella Twins. Katie Lee Burchill comes out and the first match is Katie Lee vs Nikki Bella. Katie Lee dominated until Brie switched with Nikki allowing Brie to pick up the win.

A recap from last week is shown of Shelton Benjamin mocking newcomer Yoshi Tatsu.
Back to this week and out comes Yoshi Tatsu with his AWESOME theme, I can’t put in words how much his theme makes me smile. Out comes Shelton Benjamin, who is a bit more serious this week. Some good offense by Yoshi who has a cool move set, we didn’t get to see much of what he can do last week so this was kind of a proving match so to speak. They tease the kick which Yoshi hit last week, Shelton wants no part of being hit with the kick. Yoshi hits a sweet springboard spinning wheel kick for a two count. Shelton goes for the spinning kick, Yoshi ducks and catches Sheltons leg, attemps his kick to the head, Shelton ducks and hits Pay Dirt for the win.
Awesome match!

Next up is Eziekiel Jackson, who gets his own little promo in the split screen as he comes to the ring. He is wrestling “Jobber Number 30212″ could have been “30232″, apparetly his name is Jack Merridol. Standard squash match showing us what Zeik is capable of doing. Finish sees Zeik hit his Rock Bottom type move for the win.
Ziek looked good in this squash match, hope this is a sign of him being used on a regular basis.

Did you know ECW was the most watched show on SyFy for the past 40 weeks? Actually, more to the point, do you care?
We now have another edition of the Abraham Washington show. Washington introduces Tommy Dreamer and tells him he is the biggest superstar in ECW history, but unfortunately he means he is actually the BIGGEST superstar in history and tells him to use a diet. A few more fat jokes later, Dreamer asks if he uses a spray can for his hair or a bowl cut. Hahahaha. Wow, somebody get this guy on Comedy Channel. Tommy says he is so proud of people like Rey Mysterio, CM Punk and people who have made their start on ECW, and also Eddie Guererro for a massive pop. They exchange some banter until Washtington asks who he thinks will win tonights match between Christian & Vladimir Coleslaw ( DAMNIT, I used to say that before he did ) Tommy says Christian will win. Vladimir comes out and gets in the ring, smiles and raises his arms in the air.
Vladmir is in the ring ready for his match with Christian to decide who will get the oppurtunity to wrestle Dreamer for the ECW Championship at Night of Champions. Dreamer joins commentary with Josh Matthews and Matt Striker.
Christian vs Vladmir was better than expected. Vladimir was made to look good and dominated most of the match. The finish came when Christian pushed Kozlov in to the exposed steel on the turnbuckle followed by the Killswitch for the win. Christian will meet Tommy Dreamer at Night of Champions for the ECW Championship.
Good match, I really think Kozlov can succeed now he is on ECW. He definitely didn’t look bad against Christian and held his own.

Once again, a good show from ECW.
*No Sheamus this week, but hopefully he will wrestle next week.
*Really enjoyed the match between Yoshi Tatsu and Shelton Benjamin, I hope they carry on the feud.
