Alrighty, now it's time for today's edition of the ECW Dirt Sheet:
"Just when it looked like the All American American Jack Swagger gained a lot of his Swagger, shall we say, when he successfully defended his ECW Championship last Sunday, things came to a quick halt last on ECW.
"Here is what I mean:
"In the main event last night, the ECW Champion, Jack Swagger, and the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry teamed up to take on Finlay and Christian.
"This match turned into an all out brawl when Finlay's son, Hornswoggle interfered in the match as the World's Strongest Man attempted to nail Christian with the World's Strongest Slam. This caused the referee to be distracted. As that was going on, Henry was bashed in the head by Finlay with his trusty shillelagh. After Swagger took out Finlay, he tried to Gutwrench Powerbomb Christian, but Christian countered, and it was enough for him to score the pinfall for his team.
"Next week on ECW, it will be the All American American, Jack Swagger defending the ECW Championship against Christian.
"I've come to this conclusion as far as the Christian/Jack Swagger match is concerned. I can see why the WWE is allowing him to go after the ECW Championship. Should Christian become the new ECW Champion, he will fill the void that Matt Hardy left when he left ECW to go to Smackdown.
"After all, Matt Hardy was the top dawg in the ECW brand. And I honestly feel that the WWE has found the perfect guy to fill that void in Christian. I can't wait for that match next week, and how it turns out should be an instant classic [LOL]"
My thoughts: Indeed it should. I too am gonna be rooting for Christian in next week's match against Jack Swagger. However, I don't know if Finlay will put his "friendship" with the Instant Classic aside to "interfere" in his match. We'll have to see what happens next week.
"The man from the Bottomless Pit was back in action last night on ECW, when the Boogeyman took on Paul Burchill. This match was the result of Burchill's Christian Bale like rant on WWE Mobile on AT&T. The Boogeyman has been undefeated in singles action, and the Boogeyman had Burchill had his mercy.
"Until he turned his back on Burchill reaching for his bag of worms, that's when Burchill rolled him up to get the win. Even though he lost the match, the Boogeyman still scared Paul's sister, Katie Lea away, taunting her with the bag of worms.
"How will the man from the Bottomless Pit avenge his loss? Will the Burchills continue to challenge this superstar? We shall see in the weeks to come."
My thoughts: I can bet you the man from the Bottomless pit will no doubt try to get Katie Lea wormed, even if Paul Burchill continues to beat the Boogeyman. I can't wait to see where this rivalry ends up.
"Tommy Dreamer is still trying to get revenge for being mocked by the World Tag Team Champions. He also was determined to prove that he still has what it takes, when he took on John Morrison.
"It looked like that Dreamer was going to win the match when Morrison's partner, the Miz was ejected from ringside, but the ECW Original was still defeated when Morrison nailed him with the Moonlight Drive.
"Later on that night, Ricky Ortiz went up to Dreamer, offering him one of his Ricky O. Rally Towels. Sure, Ricky, try to boost his confidence up by doing that. Ain't going to work, I'm afraid."
My thoughts: Definently not, at this point. Dreamer is sadly, going the way of MVP's losing streak, via Summerslam. I can sure as hell hope that Dreamer can win soon, I really do. Kudos though, to Ricky Ortiz for making a great cameo.
"In his second match on ECW, the latest being trained from the Hart Family Dungeon, Tyson Kidd, who was personally trained by WWE Hall of Famer, Bret Hart, took on Caden Matthews.
"Kidd displayed great wrestling skills against Matthews, including a hard-hitting leg drop off the ring apron. After that, he followed it up by propelling himself over the top rope, landing a Flying Elbow Drop, before getting his second win on ECW.
"I agree with Todd Grisham when he said that Tyson Kidd's kicks are harder than Mike Tyson's punches."
My thoughts: Tyson Kidd is no doubt the most incredible young athlete I've seen today from the Hart Dungeon. His kicks are no doubt one of the most athletic ones I've seen today. They may even match Kofi Kingston's, to be exact. And of course, like I said earlier, having Natalya around doesn't hurt his chances, either.
Alrighty, I'll see you all later for more!:D
